"See? It's demoncracy in action"
So, idk if this is because I watched the episode a day later than planned, in the presence of my mother (awkward!), and sans computer because I only get custody of a charger every other day for maybe an hour and I wasn't going to waste precious battery life typing this up and instead HANDWROTE my reactions because my brain is seriously broken, OR if it's just because last week was amazing but idk.
WE OPEN WITH MY FAVORITE SONG, OH MY GOSH. This show uses my whole music library, I swear. But for once I'm not eye-rolling at the match-up of the song and the scene because it feels pretty apt right now.
-STEFAN IS JOURNALING, ISN'T HE? This is making me happy. This is oddly a good sign. Stefan journaling is admitting that he has feelings. Stefan having feelings is a sign that he's stopped spiraling downward and is now probably wallowing in the muddy cesspit of his guilt and misdeeds. (And later we find out, yeah, he's stopped drinking human blood. That's right. Stefan is working on pulling his own head out of his ass for once.)
- The most awkward looking morning ever after and the only one embarrassed by it is-- well, no one. Jokingly Kol, I guess. Ballgowns really do look strange first thing in the morning though. I love it.
"Or maybe, fr once, something I did had nothing to do with you." Damon, it is really hard to believe that.
- I will not miss Kol if/when this dying shit goes down. I appreciate all the familial interaction because, again, this family. so dysfunctional.
-Klaus drawing does things for me. Klaus later burning his drawings of Caroline does things to me.
- that whole scene with the sage burning practice is really a great example of how we never tell Caroline anything on purpose really. Just saying.
- That is accurate, Stefan. Elena really is better off without both of you (provided there aren't crazy mystical beings around trying to kill her, but still. Also, all of you are still assholes. jsut sharing my feelings on that). But really, no one gives too much of a fuck what's best for them in this town.
-So I had this terrible feelings that Elijah was going to fuck this up. My liking of him, I mean. And yet somehow that didn't actually happen? I was surprised by that, actually.
"I can hear your heartbeat" How was that not creepy/ Seriously, it wasn't creepy, how did he do that?
- Elena trying to contact people with her phone underground made me facepalm. I mean, I know, try anyway, but still. you are underground. good fucking luck finding a signal.
- Alaric and Damon interacting is forever my favorite thing. I want to watch that over and over. So wonderful.
- Meredith. You are a doctor. TRAUMA is more than good enough to explain event related amnesia, no actual brain damage or compelling necessary. And dying definitely counts as trauma, don't you think?
- Okay, look. Unless this plan kills all the vampires ever, I don't see how this is restoring the balance. The abomination seems to be mostly, how vampires act.? Just a thought.
- FUCK NO, ELIJAH. NO. ...well, I guess Bonnie's gone the longest without a family member dying at the moment, but still. FUCKING NO. (because, the boy. and SHE MOSTLY ISN'T EVEN IN THIS, COME ON)
- Rebekah still manages to make me like her even when she is in the terrible position of threatening Elena. I continue to be baffled by this, but not really. Seriously, this whole scene.
Elena Gilbert: forever smarter than you. Finding the Lockwood thing? genius. yay Elena!
then
Rebekah: the best at problem solving. and also kind of insane. and I like it.
I would love to watch these two constantly outwitting the other. It's fantastic.
- Damon makes the best worst plans that never work.
Caroline is a *fantastic* distraction, though, Klaus is still too adorable around her, too.
"Just so we're clear, I'm too smart to be seduced by you"
"Well, that's why I like you."
PERFECT. *claws at face*
- Kol almost got his ass staked by Meredith and I was going to enjoy it, but instead Alaric daggered him and then, big surprise, their plan still didn't work anyway. also, Alaric Satlzman: the most whomped. So, good thing he is dating a doctor? But she's more likely to die now. hmm.
- That car scene with Damon and Stefan? was-- interesting. Handwriting thoughts is super slow though, and the scene went pretty fast so, feelings on rewatch later? All I know is that Damon is making me sad and I stand by the fact that SOMEONE NEEDS TO HUG HIM. Seriously.
- Did not expect the vampire transition! Should have, since turning seems to be the theme of late, but all the same. AND IT LANDED ON TAILS BUT DAMN DID IT ANYWAY BECAUSE HE IS DAMON. HE IS ALSO OCCASIONALLY THE BEST BIG BROTHER. SOMEONE PLEASE JUST HUG HIM FOR ME, OKAY?
- It is so strange for Elena to be the one on the outside for once. I mean, I get it, but still. so abnormal. (also, no, Bonnie. I am sorry. A lot of shit happens to you, yes, but. Bonnie is not always the one who gets hurt. Fucking everybody, all the time. It was Bonnie's turn this week, but Alaric? Jeremy? Tyler? Caroline? Elena? it's not like this shit doesn't get them every time as well. but technically, Caroline is the one who said it and it is your turn to be mad, so, we'll leave that for now.)
- that last scene. Meredith... yeah. Cane we stop whomping Alaric? Please? I am reluctant to believe that that is as predictable as that, so, there has got to be another twist somewhere. All the same, STOP SHOOTING/STABBING/ NECK SNAPPING / THROWING/ SLAMMING ALARIC.
- So, in summary, Klaus fucking breaks my heart sometimes, I am still too attached to Elijah and Rebekah to let them go, all of this is hideously unresolved and, OH LOOK, THE TREE MIGHT STILL BE OUT THERE AND THERE IS A WEAPON YET TO BE DISCOVERED.
Next week: Flashbacks? Damon getting "fun" if at least not hugs.. but still in flashbacks.
