8.14 - 'It's Been A Hell Of A Ride' (The Vampire Diaries)

[arabian]

This took a few days longer because (a) I was sooo sick last week (the flu *and* two ear infections-fear not, I am on the mend now, yay! antibiotics!) and (b) well, this is a loooong post (a wee bit over 9,000 words, the third longest TVD post so far!) so, yeah, it took a bit of time. Hope you enjoy!

Heh...yeah, this episode was nearly flawless. As for that one bit that irked you, some people - I'm not even making this up - actually think that Damon didn't get knocked back into his body, that he's dead and now in Bonnie's psychic realm. I mean...how dense can they get? There's no way Stefan would've been able to see him or hear him, let alone hug him! I swear, some people are just determined to believe the worst of this show, that we won't get to see Damon and Elena have their human life together.

Such a GREAT episode. Loved it so much.

Oy vey! How anyone could miss that Damon is "alive" again is BEYOND me. Well, no really, it's not. Some parts of fandom never fail to annoy and/or amuse me with their stupidity.

Well, I won't dwell on them. I forgot to mention it, but the Stefan/Caroline reconciliation and second proposal was such a beautiful scene - it nearly moved me to tears. :) After last episode, I wasn't sure how they could fix things. Then I saw this scene and thought, "Oh. Duh. That's how."

[arabian]

As you know, I was even wondering last episode if Stefan and Caroline were going to be endgame... so not just you. But, yup, they answered where they stood with these two as clear as could be. I agree, it was just so beautiful. :)

They just don't give up. Now they're spouting these obviously garbage rumors about the finale and I just... *laughing* I don't know how they expect anyone to buy into it.

One more episode and then we don't have to deal with their garbage nonsense anymore. We'll just have eight wonderful seasons of our show to glory in remembrance over. :)

Oh, yes. Thank God for Netflix.

[arabian]

Oh, right, Netflix. Yeah, there's that. Or, uhm, DVDs, or the episodes all downloaded on your computer, or, maybe all of those episodes then transferred to a flashdrive. Yeah, any of those would work!
