The Vampire Diaries. Season 1, Episode 6: The Lost Girls

I get giddy with slightly historical backgrounds. We get a first taste of that in this episode. Plus, a Darla of Buffy twist is always win. That's only a spoiler if you know Darla. This episode was pretty much Dracula-like and pretty much about choices. I think it's more romantic when you choose to leave someone (and actually follow through with it) rather than fate trying to tear you apart. In this case, fate's bringing everyone closer and it's kind of killing people. So they're the ones who have to tear each other up but fate won't let them. Or maybe I just overread.
