TVD 4x03: "How about we just leave the murdering to Damon?"
I don't have anything particularly intelligent to say about this episode, tbh. It was pretty straightforward. It had its high points. But largely, it was an episode of TVD, which means crazy plot shenanigans and excessive bloodshed and pretty men taking their shirts off and then more ridiculous plot stuff. Aka the best show on television, yes?
So ( Read more... )
LOL OMG when Elena was like "I didn't think I was capable of hate!", I was just like - LOL BUT REMEMBER THAT WHOLE SEASON WHERE YOU WERE DECLARING YOUR PASSIONATE HATRED FOR THAT DUDE YOU LIKE TO DRY HUMP ON BALCONIES / IN BATHROOMS NOW AND THEN? REMEMBER???????!!!!
Where was their so-called wonderful friendship when Stefan was going off the rails and Caroline's father was torturing her and then dying and everything was going to hell?
Word. Everything you say is truth. I want to like them, so much, I DO, but I just can't take it seriously. Especially when their interactions here consisted of "you're the gr8est"/"no, you're the gr8est!!!" Painful, tbh. (And yeah, let's not start with Caroline's hero-worship. Stefan just needs to be lit on fire at this point.)
Same thing with "Too Close" by Alex Clare (and fuck you for putting it to an S/E makeout, even with a hilarious Damon hallucination cockblock).
Haha, but that's ( ... )

This is the best line.
If the show is trying to go in some sort of direction in which Damon corrupts her and inspires Elena to embrace her evil side until she realizes that she needs Stefan to help her hold on to her humanity?
UGH STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB. Though, the worst part is how people ALREADY think this. Despite there being zilch evidence of this in the text. And also, shut up, your coded misogyny reeks from a mile away. Then again, as Marta said, the show hasn't really been presenting this. So I'm not as worried as I could be.
Klaus saves Elena, and I enjoy it. Klaus/Elena, y/y?
Y.
WHO WANTS TO CHECK INTO THE DAMON SALVATORE WING? A show of hands, please.
WHAT. IS THIS ACTUALLY A THING THAT IS HAPPENING. HOW. WHAT. HOW. WHAT IS THIS SHOW. (NEXT SEASON: MAYORHOOD????)
I hate when shows recycle clearly well-beloved lines in a way that isn't particularly well done. It happens in this case with the "insecure control freak ( ... )

I think I've been guilty of this too, in a sense. I've been getting on my Fandom Crusader Steed ready to ride into battle over something that hasn't even happened yet. I'm just so wary of the way fandom COULD react that I'm getting ahead of myself. But as I told Marta, I should just stop my premature fandom rage campaign and give the show the benefit of the doubt, because if this show has earned anything, it's the benefit of the doubt where D/E is concerned. So I will do my best to halt my spiraling. Stand by for further fandom freakouts (hey, alliteration!) after tonight's episode, however.
NEXT SEASON: MAYORHOOD????
I would be 0% surprised, tbh.
See, this is why you need to write recaps, so you can spew all my disdain for me!
One of the better compliments I've received of late. :D
And the way Ian played the scene suggested this, too. Damon just got a really resolved face all of a sudden towards the end of the ( ... )

YEAH. THAT. Oh, Elena, you glorious fool.

Ugh, EXACTLY this. I loved them SO much in season 2, but the whole thing just feels so cheapened now, and I resent the show trying to take shortcuts with them. I'm sure I could get back to how I felt about them if the show would take the time to address the huge gaps in their relationship timeline, but if it's going to skip over all that then how am I supposed to feel for them what I once did? But it seems you and I are the only people with this problem, Alex, which is just making me feel extra forlorn and *foreveralone*. Le sigh.
So, she DOES feel bad about trying to murder Matt, and I think she thinks that if Matt grows to ( ... )

Crusaders of shade, yo. Someone's gotta do it.
Or maybe I'm just too REBEKLAUS OTP 4EVER. It could also be that. ;)
Same.
OMG WHEN DID HE SAY THIS??? Perfection.
LOL I think it was early S2 when Liz found out about them being vampires and then kidnapped them, and then Caroline had to kill the guards to rescue them?
