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! )
So? Just because she saw his memories doesn't mean they came with step-by-step dance instructions.
"And Enzo… when did he?" - Maybe Caroline just gave everyone a quick training session ;)
Pfft... it was stupid and made no sense.
"Also, why was she even dancing with Enzo? Why were Sybil and Stefan, and Sybil and Damon dancing?" - Hm... Maybe they changed the rules and as far as dancing went it became free-for-all dance? lol
Pfft... it was stupid and went against the already established rules of the show's universe. Grrrrrr. In fact, it was even more glaring because all of them dancing contradicted one of my favorite lines from Elena to Damon in 4.07. "I wanted to dance with you today." Why did she say that to him? Oh, because she couldn't dance with him earlier that day because she wasn't a contestant in the Miss Mystic Falls pageant!
"The problem is that the vast majority of Bonnie and Enzo's love story has been a tell, not a show." - That's a good point.
I know. All of my Bonnie and Enzo issues are good points. Uh huh.
"I want her to get a happy ending, but I don't buy that her happy ending is Enzo St. John." - Well, this turned out to be correct. Bonnie and Enzo didn't get a happy ending...
Good.
"Why not show Bonnie and Enzo interacting as a couple with conversations where we saw that Enzo listened to her?" - I guess it seems now that the writers didn't devote that much time and care to them for the same reason we didn't get to witness Elena and Stefan's "epic" conversation: they weren't meant to last.
Except both Elena and Stefan (sorta-ish) both had other real love stories that were given time and space and beautiful stories. Bonnie should have been given that too. Not some half-assed, excuse me, quarter-assed, tell-not-show "love" story.
So I think Enzo and Bonnie were meant to be rather a passionate love affair more so than an everlasting love story.
Bonnie deserved more.
"And so freaking not in character for Bonnie Bennett." - That's true. I guess it was the case of "love changes us", huh?
Not into a completely different person.
"So, erm, what does Bonnie mean about Enzo getting the cure?" - I was so confused by this! I kept thinking, I must be missing something, because they can't possibly mean *that* cure.
Like Sybil and Damon's memories... so badly done.
"Stefan: Take it from me, Elena Gilbert never really goes away." - Heh, this line didn't bother me that all, because the way it came across to me, at that point in the story, I thought Stefan totally meant it in the context of Damon, that Elena, despite her years-long absence, was still Damon's emotional anchor, which was currently in the way of Damon giving in to humanity-free existence.
I could see that, if he hadn't said: "Take it from me." He was talking from personal experience.
I actually liked the color, and I thought it was a nice idea to have Caroline wear the shade I don't think she's ever worn before. (Or maybe I'm sure biased because I like this color in general haha)
Oh, I think the color was gorgeous, I just didn't think it looked good on Candice; it washed her out and she's too pretty to wear a color that washes her out.

See? Now you understand why it was SO wrong!
You clearly haven't been watching "The Originals" in a while, have you? lol
I have, and I will say to this comment: The Originals is NOT The Vampire Diaries... not even close. (Stefan and Caroline are reacting to that notion that they are in my icon.)
