I actually forgot to mention in my post at how disgusted I am that they brought in a random love interest for Alaric and like... actually expected us to care? I mean... what? There are TOO MANY PEOPLE ON THIS SHOW ALREADY. Although, she's a Fell which just makes me think she's not all that she appears to be. But really? This is not the time! (Especially because I personally could do with a lot less Alaric, seeing as it tends to take time away from other characters - Katherine, Caroline, Bonnie, ELIJAH, etc. - that I care a lot more about.)
I'd be really upset that they're not giving the character a true redemption that comes from within himself. - THIS! I just... I don't understand. This show is clearly capable of taking characters and giving them a compelling arc. Look at Tyler last season for example. But with Damon they don't even try. They just take the easy way out every damn time. They just don't even bother it seems. Even when he was in the outs for snapping Alaric's neck that last time, he just magically got forgiven after like 2 episodes. It makes no sense!
Yeah well I hope he's back soon. The way that they're talking it seems like he won't be back this season. I mean, they're not just saying "he'll be back" they're saying that McQueen will be "off the show" for a while, but he will be back. Saying OFF THE SHOW just makes it seems like it's going to be more long-term than short-term. I am not happy.
