"When can I take my shirt off?"
Hey, everybody. I have been so busy with work that I have barely had time to watch TV. It’s almost impossible to catch up, now that I’ve fallen behind. Especially since it’s pretty stupid to read (or write) a recap a week later. I’m trying to figure it all out. I never intended for this to be a recap-driven site, so look for more small bites in the future.
Such as this:
In re-watching the first three episodes of “The Vampire Diaries,” I noticed a very CW phenomenon. On multiple occasions, we enter a scene at the exact moment that Stefan is changing his shirt. Check it out at 00:50 in the following clip…
Totally gratuitous. (I’m not complaining, just pointing it out. Keep changing your shirt, Stefan.) (You know, just for hygiene, or whatever.)
But really– why do you need to change your shirt so often, Stefan? What’s your motivation? Because I don’t think you need to change your shirt at all. That’s what I think.
Then again, who am I to judge? Maybe Stefan wore a really nice shirt to school, and he doesn’t want to have to launder it after one wear. I guess Stefan doesn’t want to get his nice shirt all sweaty while he chills out at his desk, writing in his diary. (I definitely change out of my nice clothes the minute I get home, before I write in my diary and cry…) (Never mind!) (Just kidding!) :’(
Oh wait, do vampires sweat? I don’t think so! (Maybe I’m wrong. I’m still confused as to how Stefan apparently isn’t cold to the touch.) (Maybe Elena’s just really not-observant.)
Hmmm… maybe I’m looking at this all wrong. Maybe I should be asking, Why does Stefan need to wear a shirt at all, while he’s at home? He could get naked and write in his diary.
And then the show would be called “Naked Vampire Diaries.” And ratings would double. (And it would be… “True Blood.” But with higher ratings.)
You’re welcome, “Vampire Diaries.” Any time. And… I love you.
Should we start tallying Stefan’s shirt-changing moments? And does the make-out dream in Episode 103 count, where he removed his shirt? Even though he didn’t end up revealing his chesticles, and also ended up being Damon? So many questions, so little time.

[...] get that exact shirt at Target, Fancy Pants. Also, this scene is full of ab-revelations. Which, as we’ve already discussed, is a very important element of this [...]
