Hallowe'en in Mystic Falls

Oct 27, 2011 22:57

Tonight's episode certainly had a Hallowe'en feel to it what with all the ghosts' floating about. Mind you, it could be said that every day is Hallowe'en in a town where supernatural entities abound ;)

Another thing I'm not really clear on is whether it's really possible for Stefan to overcome Klaus' compulsion through sheer force of will. I thought that an Original's compulsion would be super-strong and therefore unbreakable.

This is really a problem for me. When Originals are strong enough to even compel other vampires, I just don't believe that their compulsion can be broken. Regardless, we have NEVER seen compulsion UNDONE. It either takes or it doesn't take, but it's never been canceled or broken without someone dying. So I can't help but feel like Elena is being unreasonable here.

While I don't think he was treating Bonnie very well, I can totally sympathize as I know all too well the loss of a lover suddenly and without warning.

For me, I lost my best friend suddenly when I was a teenager, so I can see where Jeremy is coming from. It's been 6 years, and this episode still had me crying. It's hard for me to make close friends, and, besides my mother, she was the most important person in my life for years.

There was a preview. Maybe you missed it somehow? Next week we learn more about the Originals. The carvings are a list of their names or something.

ITA. I don't like that Elena is up against insurmountable odds. It's one thing when there's some hope of success but this feels to me like there is no hope. :(

I'm sorry for your loss. I was crying, as well, at the end of the episode. It got rather powerful in the last 15 minutes or so.

I just watched the US previews that were posted in Bloodstream. CTV2 didn't air them in Canada. :( I'm glad that Elijah is coming back! :)

I don't really want the other Stefan back, so I don't mind if there's no hope. I just find it odd that Elena is even expecting/believing that compulsion can be overcome. I just really don't believe that she has any valid reason to believe that such a thing is possible. I know that she's thinking of Bill Forbes, but that was a very different situation.

I'm sorry for your loss as well.
