8.09 - 'The Simple Intimacy Of The Near Touch' (The Vampire Diaries)
A few days later than normal, but I had to deal with my 'Miss Mystic Falls' expectations first. So...
( Pretty people in pretty clothes! )
( Pretty people in pretty clothes! )
Yup, I knew I was bothered, but I couldn't put my finger on it and when I began writing it out, the words just kept coming and coming... and coming. Bonnie and Enzo just aren't earned and it's really telling since the other main couples (Damon/Elena, Stefan/Caroline) are.
And I really don't want her to turn.
I wouldn't mind if it was to save Elena, but other than that... nope.
How was that supposed to work for Damon again? Katherine aged as soon as she took it. Wouldn't Damon, too? He's 170odd years old, And Enzo - if Damon would ever allow it - would age too, right? Or am I missing something?
Yup, you're missing something, LOL! Katherine was fine with the cure in her for months... until Silas drank it from her. Once the cure was out of her system she began to age. It's why Damon can drink the cure from Elena and she'll be fine, when it's gone and she "ages" because it will be only be a few years, so she'll be fine. (The same would be case for Enzo taking the cure from her... but HELL TO THE NO!)
Yeah, since when is the MMF dance for everyone? Huh... Is there still anyone on the show who knows about the first seasons?
There are a few people, but like I said, I think it's because the show doesn't have one person 100% devoted to it to oversee everything. *sigh* I'm so bummed Caroline Dries wasn't here for this season.
Switched-off Stefan is so much fun to watch. And Paul does a better job now than he did with Silas. Maybe because he (and we) knows the character so much better.
I think that's why. Or it could be because Wesley got better at it, I remember that Silas was much more enjoyable starting in episode 6, but then he died in the next one.
But wouldn't he just let the ring fall on the floor instead of pocketing it? He so shouldn't care.
Unless he wants it to use to taunt her with later... he's kinda sick and twisted that way.
I thought Damon had his switch back on after he took the necklace in his hand the first time (when he nearly kissed Sybil). BEcause the last 2 episodes most clearly showed his humanity. Or maybe it's really more like a dimmer switch.
Yup, dimmer switch. Remember what Katherine said in 3.09: "Humanity is a vampire's greatest weakness...No matter how easy it is to turn it off- it just keeps trying to fight it's way back in." Rose also mentioned that it's harder for one's humanity to stay off the older you get. But right now, it's more the dimmer switch that is happening with Damon. It happened in season 01, and it's happening again... thanks to Elena, and love for his brother.
I didn't expect Nina Dobrev to appear, but I so hope we will see her in the last episode. I'm not holding my breath for more, if we get more than one scene, I'll be ecstatic. But I frankly don't expect it. I think for Nina TVD is very much the past.
Nah, Nina has made it clear (as has Julie) that she always intended to come back to finish out the show and give Elena her happy ending. I honestly expect her back for the last 3-4 episodes. I could be wrong, but I think so.
ETA: Nina just tweeted out a copy of the last script with her name on it so she is definitely going to be in the finale. I still have hope that we'll see her before then, though.
Loved Caroline and Damon dancing, too. And yay, she finally gets him. But I still would have liked Bonnie to talk to Damon once. What happened to them being friends? So sad.
Once Bonnie got Enzo back... I just have not been happy with her character at all. But, yay, to Caroline and Damon and if the preview is right next week, she may even go into his mind and FINALLY fully see the real Damon. That would be AMAZING!

right, that was it. Thanks for reminding me.

Oh, that would be so cool.
Their love story began on the Gilbert porch when Damon offered to compel Jeremy for Elena.
This, this, this. Damon walking on the porch in his white Tee, saying "I can do it", and from then on it went. In "MMF" he had already fallen for her. And she knew "we have something". Stefan doesn't get it. Sybil doesn't get it. Ha!

Indeed, but as I wrote, Stefan has ALWAYS been clueless when it comes to Damon and Elena's love story.
I did edit in to my last response that Nina posted a copy of her script (with her name on it) for the finale, so that's a given, but I still have hope we'll see her beyond that. (I admit, I really, really want to because I want to see Damon as human for more than just one or two scenes!)
