(no subject)
Ok. I'm sorry guys for not writing the reviews cz well I just thought the writing really spoke for itself. But in case you are suffering from some form of amnesia like the beloved TVD writers, here is the cliff notes version:
a) Tyler is a werewolf. Big shocker. Considering they waste spent so much time trying to get us to guess what he was, I'm surprised that they didn't add that he had secret gymnast abilities. Ridiculous
b) The curse. One of the actually interesting parts of the season. Turns out the witches can kick vampires ass - and get away with enslaving the Originals minions. They rock the world
c) The Originals. I'm lobbying for these guys to get their own spin-off I mean seriously. Their human exterior is enough to make Damon wet his tutu
d) Jeremy decided that he liked Bonnie after he found out she can't do a sex spell (I'm still waiting for the logic to appear) and Bonnie decided to get herself a puppy. The end
e) Damon lost yet another girl. Altho we can put it down to being it his fault, Rose was a character I wanted to stay on for development purposes. Ok yeah, so her accent made it seem she continuously had something in her mouth but for the most part at this point in Damon's life she was good for him. Then again, he might've gotten bored and dropped her
f) Elena the doppelgänger. In the beginning I give a crap. Now I'd wish somebody would just throw a teaspoon at her so we can get a rise out of the Salvatores. Of course, you may all disagree and say axe.
g) Most of the season Katherine has been playing in out of the dust-yyy tomb. In out and out.
h) Bonnie has family. Surprise! No I mean really, surprise.
i) Tyler had fit uncle. Then he didn't
j) Caroline was born to be a vampire. Sadly she may be undead but biting ppl is the least of her problems
h) Bonnie is so gifted she can give herself aneurysms for free! What a handy trick to have especially since you are going against the oldest vampire in history

The Good
Klaus: You might not know this but I have a major thing for Elijah. You know, where you get the warm, fuzzy, fangirly feeling every time the camera panned on him. So of course, I was a little concerned that the baddy waddy would not live up to expectations. Well that was stupid. He blew them apart. I don't think the word 'limits' features in his vocabulary although he is quite attractively specisexual multilingual. And that is a good thing. A very good thing. We need a vampire over the top. We need someone who would say 'I will crucify you and your whole family' and you would believe him. Because he would. This show has too many 'bad' characters that are actually 'good' cz of love. I mean, really? What planet do these writers live on? There are serial killers and scum that have the perfect lives but they kill, mutilate because they mostly can. Its all about power, control, lamb chops. And if you are gonna paint a character beforehand as spawn of the devil, fucking follow through with it. THAT would be the greatest surprise and gift you can to the viewers and audience. Because what I'm feeling now wouldn't be worth much otherwise. And what I feel right now is naked. Seriously. If I was Elena I would not only spolsh holy water around my house but bathe in vervain. Dude, is scary. Doesn't help that I can't Matt Davis's twisted smile outta my head *covers eyes with both hands*
Bonnie: I wish I could shake her in this episode. Like seriously. Her need to save Elena is bordering on obsession. I know the episode is based on 'limits' but Bonnie thinks she has none. At least she wasn't mind-raping anyone this eppy. Its a step-up. But what I don't understand her being so consistent and being the martyr. Yes, Elena is like her family and believe me, if my bff was in this situation I would do the same as Bonnie. But why do I feel like Bonnie is the only one upholding her end of sisterhood? Elena doesn't seem to give a flying fuck to anything that isn't Gilbert, Stefan-related. Take head out of ass and realize you are not the only one in this mess. Elena maybe about to get sacrificed but sympathy is an emotion I'm not feeling towards her right now.
Anyhoo, I guess the reason I stuck Bonnie in this section is because well I guess she wasn't OOC this episode. I liked the fact she wasn't going to be totally and utterly cold. I loved the fact that we saw her utter guilt & regret at losing Luka (in front of Damon I may add) and the fact she knew she may not survive. Stop playing martyr dammit! Don't wonna loose ya Bonnie *sniff*
Bamon: There were so many delicious tidbits in this episode when it came to them. Ok, yeah so they weren't exactly the best of friends, BUT they were CIVIL. It seems to me, that they are really taking this alliance seriously. Careful Bonnie, you may just end up with a new bff XD In all honesty, it was better than I thought it would be because they are really getting more and more entertaining as we watch them. Sorry, Bonnie. I know it must be really difficult to be cordial towards someone who tried to kill you but you're scenes are just too awesome not to mention fangirl-worship-worthy. I think the problem with them was, fans were either expecting too much or too less. It was just exactly how its supposed to be. I don't expect to link arms and start singing 'Kumbayah' (although that alone would secure it as my favourite TVD scene ever) but I expected there to be a level of mutual understanding, respect and perhaps trust. I love how Damon takes a crack at Luka and then ends up burying him and then in course of within seconds is giving her eyesex. Dynamic or what huh? They were slso, kind enough, to give a whole new meaning to 'just gonna stand there and watch me burn'. Only Bamon, I tell ya. Only Bamon
Damon: Surprisingly, even though I wanted to stick him in the bad section, I still feel like I owe him a chance. Ok yeah, so he may have looked like he was having seizures with that face but at least he didn't make me feel suicidal whilst watching. And god, the cockiness. Thank the lord, they've turned it down cz it was blaring to the border of idiocy. I'm glad the writers have finally realised that Elijah is not gonna be watching Damon's back. He's gonna pay for the shit he does from now on.
Witches: I love the witches even more this episode. Why? Cz they don't like bitches. I also seem to have more respect for Emily. She rather have died that let her family go through what she did with Katherine. If Damon saved Emily he would have the whole Bennett line to do his bidding forever. But. If he showed up a century odd later the HWIC would shut his plan down. Girl power or what? Ok. Ok. So I admit, its not just the female witches I was fawning over (and gasping at that weather spell) - Klaus's witch is a work of art. He certainly has been taking tips from his master. I fear for my bb
Delena: I can't believe that I'm placing DE in the good section over SE. But please writers give me something to work with! At lease DE were intriguing this episode. The little look of wonder Elena gave Damon makes me think that the 'ILU compulsion' he placed on her didn't work. She had already drunk the vervain tea *facepalm*
Isobel: As much as I disliked Isobel, I find that her ending was fitting and a chilling warning to Elena and the viewers. She had gotten waaayyy over her head with Klaus&Katherine. She wanted real freedom. And yes, I feel a little sad for her, knowing that she never felt liberated as a vampire. Of course, she could've let Alaric on what she wanted. She didn't have to push him away
Jenna: Was fabulous. Absolutely flawless. Everyone just takes her for granted. If it was me, I'd never never talk to A/J/E again. Eugh
John: Why can't I get over David Anders? He so flawless as Jonathan! I adore him even though I'm meant to hate him. Yeah, he's supposed to be the pitiful figure but I can't help but feel that his heart might've been in the right place just not everyone else's intentions. Can't wait to see more of him
The Bad
Stefan: I think what shocked me or really turned me was Stefan. He was so OOC this episode, that it was painful to watch. He gave a whole new meaning to 'poker face'. I thought Damon was the unfeeling brother? I knew Stefan had a dark side and is in love with Elena blah blah but I never knew he could be so cold. Forget Bonnie, he didn't even seem to care about Caroline's problem. Elena seemed more concerned by her issue (which is a big thing). Aaaagh! Stop it writers. Stop ruining my baby.
Stelena: Didn't anything even happen between them?
Elena: As D would say: Blah
Katherine: This maybe an unpopular view, but I think Katherine should die. Her use has come to an end. Yeah I want to know what happened between her, Elijah and Klaus (and maybe see her and Klaus have furious hate sex) but let's be honest - on the next couple episodes her arc is gonna be done and dusted. We probably gonna see how badly she was screwed over by K&E and see how she decided to imitate their little game on the Salvatores. What is the point of having a female 'evil' vampire when someone who practically made her comes to town? There is none. And besides, the fact that Nina looks tired as hell now that she's playing two roles. Katherine just seemed sluggish this episode. You can't distract me with ya boobs Nina. Just sayin.'
Jeremy: I want to smack him everytime he comes on screen. I CAN'T have been the only who noticed how fickle, hypocritical and OTT this character has become. It's like the tptb/writers have tried to shove Jer in a coffin for characters labelled 're-moulding' and the limbs fell off. I can practically smell the stench of bad writing and not-giving-a-crap. I love Steven. I have done so for may years, that's why it pains me to say all this. He should demand a storyline from KW&JP. So far, he looks about as useful&helpful as a wet envelope. He's a TEENAGER. One who can party or loose it til the sun comes up. At least, give me an inkling of that.
Beremy: I hate this ship. Nothing. And I mean nothing can make me love this wet dog. I'm so so sad as I write this. Each time I write about them I'm either very, very angry or very, very sad. I had such high hopes for this ship. I wanted to put my one foot on the Beremy ship and one foot on the Bamon and wide open sail the stormy sea of the TVD fandom. Well they pissed all over that. This is the most ill-conceived shit to ever happen on this show. In what twisted world are they compatible as a couple, at this point in their lives? It must really sting to know that your gf loves your sister more than you. Since, she is considering to sacrifice herself I think Jeremy should've shown some compassion. Which he did. And I'm glad. But.
Excuse me, if I question his sincerity in context of the whole series so far - I wouldn't trust him with my old trainers (sneakers for all ya American folk). In season 1/2 : he bonded with Tyler over someone he loved (Vikki). He quickly became friends and they hung out regularly even if Tyler could be a 'dick,' and would concern himself with Lockwood's issues. And then..he sold him out. Just to be in the in-crowd. Eugh. I used to have respect for him but I get this massive feeling of impending DOOM cz of Jeremy when it comes to Beremy. Maybe, if Jeremy had to earn her trust, he'd realise how much of a jackass he's been. Bonnie is waaayy too sweet when it comes to the Gilberts. And honestly? The Gilberts' are like a plague. Whatever they touch falls. I will be super pissed if that happens to Bonnie because her childish bf has no fucking clue to what he's doing or that Bonnie won't always be there to protect him.
Stamon: I'm sorry. I'm just trying to process what was implied about Bonnie. I mean. I have no words. Really writers? Old prejudices?
The Pointless
Tyler: What is the point of labeling this show as the 'werewolf season' if they disappear half way through? Smtms I hate this show. Oh and I hope Tyler finds out what Jeremy did to him and beats him senseless
a) Tyler is a werewolf. Big shocker. Considering they waste spent so much time trying to get us to guess what he was, I'm surprised that they didn't add that he had secret gymnast abilities. Ridiculous
