Open Letter to the Vampire Diaries Writers

Dear  Writers of The Vampire Diaries,

I know chances are next to nothing that you'll ever read this, but on behalf of all viewers, I wanted to beg you to please give us less Elena angsty martyrdom scenes and much more Klaus badassery like this week's "O Come All Ye Faithful" episode. HOLY EFFING KLAUS!!!! In between the snoozefest of Jeremy therapy sessions -- though it was nice to hear someone finally say something negative about Elena -- and the tedium of Elena's seemingly endless "do-I-really-love-him-or-is-it-just-a-sire-bond" conversations with Damon were sandwiched the BEST scenes TVD has had, ever. 

Namely, all of the Klaus scenes. He is by far the most interesting character on the show and one of the most interesting on TV. I could have watched an entire hour of him kicking major hybrid ass, painting post-modern snowflakes, flirting with Caroline, eloquently articulating the loneliness of immortality to Stefan, or killing Mrs. Lockwood in a beautifully tragic scene.

Also, please let Caroline continue to realize Tyler is a giant alpha-wannabe douchehole and that she really loves Klaus. This week;s episode was a step in the right direction when she first admitted to feeling bad about plotting to bring him down, and an even bigger positive step when she and Stefan realized the Mystic Falls gang ain't exactly a bunch of saints, either.

And more Jeremy chopping wood scenes, please. 

Thanks.

Kind Regards,

Red-Blooded American Females everywhere

PS. Please give Joseph Morgan a raise. I normally take this show for the cheesy soapfest that it is and don't get too emotionally involved other than to laugh at its ridiculousness, but I actually wanted to cry over the expression on Klaus' face after he killed his hybrids. REALLY well acted.
