Okay so I can't wait to talk about this stuff so I'm going all secret behind the spoiler cut because like I said I can't wait to talk about Castle and The Vampire Diaries!
Castle was a very good episode and I'm so excited it got picked up for another season. And wow wouldn't you know it but Nathan is just awesome in this show and....
[Serious Spoilers for Castle (click to open)] Can you even believe what happened? I'm so so so freaking happy that Beckett went to him at the end and just told him. "I just want you." YES! I'm so excited and I'm really hoping they have a plan for next season because once the main characters get together things tend to go bad but I think they could do it with some fantastic writing.
And could Castle be any sweeter by telling Beckett that for 4 years he's brought her coffee just to see her smile. *dies* I love that man. And I get the sneaking suspicion that whether you call him Richard Castle or Nathan Fillon he is one and the same. I mean last weeks episode with Alexis and him playing laser tag was great and I get the feeling that is very Nathan.
But a moment I truly loved was Beckett dangling from the side of the building (hello green screen) and hearing Ryan calling her name only to believe that it is Castle who she starts calling out too. And did you noticed even before that his name spilled from her lips. YES! She's so in love with him.
The kicker in all of this is that Beckett resigned from the force so what will next year be like if she's not a cop? My guess is that the Captain conveniently ignores that grand statement by our lovely Katie.
As always Damon of The Vampire Diaries makes me watch him the very night his lovely show airs because there is just something about this unpredictable vampire that makes me swoon. And then there is Caroline. She's bubbly, sweet and everyone's best friend. I can't help myself, she's got to be my 2nd favorite vampire on this show.
[This spoils every detail of Vampire Diaries so click to open at your own risk...] Now, did you see what I saw in the previous episode which was that Elena totally hit her head and super hard. My first reaction was hematoma (?) but when Doc said she was fine; I bought into it despite my better judgement. We all know the good doctor is feeding patients vampire blood and I wonder how many people leave only to die somehow and come back as craving blood.
Elena has to pick and we are told we will totally know the answer to the "Who will she pick?" question at the end of this episode and yet I'm still fuzzy on some things. First, Elena does tell him, "Maybe if we'd met first?" And then we see that is exactly what happened. Damon was goofing off and ran into a very innocent Elena who he compelled not to remember him. So they totally met first which doesn't mean a thing if Elena can't remember.
But here is the thing. Elena died and the good doctor gave her vamp blood because she did have a hematoma after all. So when she wakes in that last fateful second.... she a vampire, right? And as we learned with Caroline, that means the previous compulsions wear off and they remember that the person did that to them. Remember how pissed Caroline was a Damon? So Elena did pick Stefan but she met Damon first. So frankly I have no idea how this is going to go and I think they left it open to the question... Stefan or Damon?
Now, Elijah. Love that guy. Yes, he's stepped on their toes and betrayed them a couple times but he's a goodie and I adore him. Rebekah not so much. But Alaric going after Klaus was a big deal. But then Alaric actually manages to kill Klaus and we only see Tyler suffering which means that Klaus lied about siring Katherine's line, right? Oh so wrong. What the hell, Bonnie? She sacrificed Tyler for Klaus. That is such a bad idea. Now not only do we still have Klaus wandering around be he's disguised as our trustworthy Tyler who is Caroline's man. Uh wow, that is far to go to get the girl, Klaus.
But in a truly inept vampire moment, we see Stefan rescuing Matt because Elena wants him to help Matt over her. Hello, vampire super strength where he can pull Matt out and then rip off Elena's seatbelt and pull her along too. Come on, seriously, a vampire can only save one drowning victim at a time. Thought vampires didn't even have to breathe? Big hole there. Still if Elena is no longer a vulnerable human that everyone has to protect at every moment.... kudos.
Now people tell me her annoying personality won't be amplified 100 fold because she bugs the hell out of me. *wink*
I can't believe how long we have to wait for more episode of these brilliant shows.
