TVD 4x23: Mystic Falls, the New Switzerland of Valuables Storage
So that's it, guys. That's season 4. We're done. Isn't that strange? It's been sort of a crazy year. Part of me wants to write a full-scale, absurdly long recap, for old time's sake. But I have a crazy few days ahead of me, and I can't really afford to spend 6 hours (lol, 6 hours. More like 10.) analyzing every small detail. So my abbreviated
( Read more... )
lol. tbh for me it’s the fact that Alaric basically became Elena’s parental guardian. That takes it from inappropriate student/teacher wrong to quasi- cross-gen incest wrong lbr. (THOUGH SHIPPERS MAY CARRY ON IF THEY SO DESIRE.)
You know how I feel about the sire bond nonsense.
The sire bond was a mistake. A huge, staggering, tragic, horrifying mistake. It will never NOT be a mistake. There will never, never be a moment in this show that will make the existence of the sire bond worth it. It has, unfortunately, irrevocably damaged my opinion of this show.
and
The way the show 'dealt with' the sire bond was so hilariously inadequate that I actually feel sort of justified in straight up ignoring that it ever happened. Clearly, the writers don't think it has any real import.
Basically.
And yeah, effective from now, it is authoritatively declared (by us, obvs) that the sire bond is and was non-existent. All other arguments are literally invalid.
I too WTF-ed at Elena saying she wanted the cure (although she didn’t take it). I’m never gonna believe that’s true. But I also don’t see her just pandering to Damon of all people. I guess she was so convinced about it being the thing to do that she equated that to wanting it? Eh.
Same for Stefan, probably. Never gonna buy he was still in love with Elena-the-person this season. But I can totally understand that definitively losing Elena = losing ~everything, i.e. hopes, dreams, worldview, identity. It’s a door well and truly closing and whatever the situation, that shit hurts. So I felt for the bag of dicks, really.
I mean, it honestly made me lol more than rage, but this is so indicative of Stefan. That he's this upfront about the fact that giving her a choice was always his 'move' rather than his belief, and that he's so deluded that he doesn't even realize how fucked up it all sounds.
omfg totally missed this. wtf. TY for pointing out.
Yeah, not terribly surprised about Katherine either. Once it became clear they weren’t really gonna kill her off it made sense that she’d be subjected to the second biggest possible narrative shift. And it might also make sense considering her recent WTF characterisation/identity crisis? Looks like that was all building to this.
"Take off your shirt." "Elena, there are children present."
MY FAVOURITE PART TBH.
I genuinely feel that our shared hatred for Stelena is the stuff of epic friendships tbqh.
What's the point in a ship like this.
CACKLING @ THIS SENTENCE B/C IT’S TRUE.
But. But. My first reaction, because I am the worst: Tyler isn't actually Caroline's first love. Matt is. But "He's your second love, I intend to be your last" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it.
I’m fucking choking. (BUT ALSO THOSE WERE MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. ARE YOU SURPRISED.)
OK this comment is getting on so suffice it to say that we're solid. Carry on.
