I have been obsessed with the vampire diaries for like ever and I was so excited for this season to start! However, after watching the first and secondo episodes, it felt kind of boring for some reason. I think that the whole season 3 is meant to have a più upbeat and less of a Gothic and dark atmosphere, like season 2, but for some reason I don't feel the same spark and passion and i guess, epicness that season 2 really had. i have also heard about the ratings and number of viewers plummet and so i feel like i'm not the only one who thinks that there's something missing. I noticed that I am losing interest in the show, because I forgot about the new 'hybrid' 3x02 episode that premiered on thursday, so i watched it later over the weekend on dvr.
