8.11 - 'You Made a Choice to Be Good' (The Vampire Diaries)

[arabian]

So, I got a job! (Yay! It's not ideal, but it's a job!) I start tomorrow and I'm thinking that I will probably be getting the rest of these up on Saturday or Sunday from now on with my new schedule. So, yay!

"After all, everything they know about how the cure works is based on Silas draining Katherine and then the fall-out, but did Silas have to drain Katherine?" - That's something I didn't think of. Valid point. Except that this is precisely why it doesn't make sense for everyone to suddenly know that's not how the cure works.

RIGHT!??!

Why did they think a single vial would do the trick? Just because the original cure was in that form? It really seems like Caroline Dries was the one keeping things logical lol Or maybe wrapping things up is always difficult and final seasons are just very hard to write.

I think it's both, but mostly the former. Like I said, the Julie Plec run seasons alone had consistent/logical issues.

"Taking Elena's blood for the cure from her 'Sleeping Beauty' cursed body without her knowledge, without her permission, and against her already expressed wishes is a violation." - Yes, it just can't feel not wrong.

Yup, how they did not see that is beyond me.

"We are going to see a human!Stefan Salvatore for the remainder of the series." - I would've been upset about this, I mean, about seeing human!Stefan instead of human!Damon for several episodes, if it wasn't for the fact that it turned out to be a predominantly sad sight.

Yeah, but Damon's wouldn't have been sad.

"Damon: Then, whatever anger you're working through, man, you can just take it out on me." - In S8 I was pretty much seeing callbacks everywhere, so this one may be just me seeing things, but I thought this was a callback to when in 4x01 Elena told Damon to take it out on her and not anyone else.

Maybe, could be.
