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... )
Same. Like you though, I really saw merit in the stuff she said to Stefan at the end. This was probably her best episode.
~Matt/Rebekah. I just. Really? Also, what is the freaking point of setting Matt up on a trigger thing. Like, why. What does that even do. WHY DID ANY OF THIS HAPPEN. Rebekah isn't even staying on this show! I honestly can't even. I'm done.
I really don't know why this is happening either, and I'd like for it to stop before the new season begins. It's gross. Rebekah used to be the love of my life, and now I don't even recognize her. I blame Matt. (And Julie Plec.) I've said repeatedly that if Rebekah is willing to be in a relationshp where she is made to feel worthless, then she should be with her brothers. That's always been her thing with Klaus. I thought her other relationships were supposed to be about making her feel like a queen? I just don't understand this at all. It defies what I thought I knew about Rebekah as a character and how she operates. O.M.G. IS JULIE PLEC TRYING TO TURN REBEKAH INTO ROSALIE HALE FROM TWILIGHT???
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. It took the one narrative I had absolute, utter faith in, and trashed it, betrayed it, completely compromised it for a contrived shipper failsafe. That will never be ok.
WOOOOOOORD. The sire bond is such a criminal failure. If there had, y'know, ACTUALLY BEEN A SIRE BOND, it could have had potential. Otherwise, Damon/Elena had their own story potential without it. So, the sire bond as it was done this season did nothing but kill a storyline that quite a few people were very attached to. Stupid, stupid, stupid writing.
~This entire episode should have just been entitled "Eavesdropping: Fun for the Whole Undead Family." Literally, every single scene, there was a whole group of people listening in from the other room. It was hilarious. Slash really saved time. No one had to update anyone, ever. ALREADY HEARD EVERYTHING, VAMPIRE HEARING, AMIRIGHT?
That was amusing. But also gross? Mostly just because I hate Lexi. LOL.
And I would actually be excited to see what Stefan could be without his infatuation with Elena. I mean REALLY without it, not pretending or posturing or anything. Wouldn't it be something to get to see Stefan grow, though.
That would actually be wonderful. I feel like we saw some possible growth with the way he handle the D/E situation at the end of the episode. Whether it sticks or not remains to be seen, but it's a start, which is something I don't think we've ever really had before.
~I will never not love how much Damon doesn't care about his own impending demise. I really fucking love Damon, you guys.
Same. This is something I hope never changes. I think it goes hand-in-hand with his philosophy on owning his actions and choices. Means he's ready to go at any time because he doesn't let himself regret stuff. He doesn't allow himself to have "unfinished business."
