This is a total TVD spoiler!! As I write this ...frantically puffing on my ecig going over all the drama of the episode...yikes!
WARNING: MY CUT IS A LONG ENTRY [TVD Stand By Me] All I can say about last night`s Stand By Me is.......HOLY OMG WTF! Not in a bad way just very WHAT? WHY? AND WHOLE LOT OF HOLY SHIT BALLS! egde of your seat drama.
There was so much happening my head was spinning especially with the whole Jeremy is dead. NOOOOO I don't want Jerbear to be gone...why holy god why??? My god they do this to me every freaking season!!! Yes tears were had.
OMG and Nina with the whole just letting go of everything, long overdue for Elena and then Damon with the "just turn it off" Holy God in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Bonnie with Shane(Silas) wanting to kill 12 innocents!!???!!!!
My thought patterns are all over the map this morning...sorry
I am super happy about Damon and Stefan having a brother moment and the unspoken "I love you Bro" moment. So glad to see they maybe reconciling after all the shit that has gone on and man has it ever this season!
Shane/Silas...what can I say...hate you soooo much right now!! DIE DIE DIE you ungrateful bastard!!
Bonnie...first off, OMG how beautiful is Kat Graham??? Flawless skin, and has really showed her acting skills this season. So glad they are focusing more on her character. So wtf is up with wanting to kill 12 people...yes it's Shane/Silas' influence but come on Bonnie you have always been the "good" witch with morals and values. She can't turn to the dark side...but must admit am liking how Kat is making this a very possible aspect of Bonnie...I still have hope she will come around to her senses.
Caroline...still holding on to Tyler and not lettting us forget him. Plus she was again awesome with the agruments at the table and loved it when she said to Elena..."you are scaring me"
Matt... god poor Matt, seeing him breakdown, again another character who has endured so much, stabbed me in the heart. linsell_farm and I both notice how he has changed (imo drastically) since S1 and has grown and now has such a manly look about him. Not a bad thing I will admit...he's looking pretty damn good! But seriously, the poor guy everytime he gets close to a friend they die or leave or something.
Stefan...imo you could see as Elena went through all of this horror how it played on his heartstrings. He still has this enduring love for her and he still wants to protect her. Again him and Damon coming together once again makes me do my happy dance!! YAAAAY! Also was good to see Paul and Tori have a scene together!! Wow doesnèt she look awesome...I didnèt recognize her at first and had to ask linsell_farm who is that???
Damon....Oh my love for this guy is long and endless. Did he not look extremely hot, not like he never does but in this episode, I thought he looked umm different, better...and just made me weak in the knees. What can I say about him last night, he came through, did what he had to do for Elena, I understand this now but at the time was taken aback, afraid for Elena and what she will become. And Stefan asking him to help her and Damon saying he would help her...gush he so loves this girl inspite of everything others my think of him and his deadly coldness, he does have a big heart deep inside.
Elena....???? I am almost at a loss for words on how I feel, but not for long. Nina knocked that out of the ball park. You could see it building throughout the episode. The denial stage...outstanding performance, the protection over her brother and seriously believing he wasn't dead and putting Dr. Fell up against the wall and ready to rip her throat out...excuse me but HOLY SHIT! Her sitting at the table dazed by everything, you could see her thinking but almost blankly (hard to explain but I could totally relate) the phone call from April and realizing her borhter is dead, admitting it for the first time. Then her meltdown, which is to be expected with everything she has had to endure thus far. Amazing, outstanding performance...cannot say enough good things about it.
The ending where she lights that match and Stefan asks her if she really wants to do this because once everything is said and done she might want to come back "HOME". She knows she can't come back home, there isn't a home anymore, everyone in her family(home) is gone. With her humanity gone why wouldn't she destory all the memorabilia. And that last scene where the 3 of them walked out and Stefan looking back. He's rememberiing everything good that happened there over the course of the courtship and how she embraced him.
One last thing, I had no idea that they would write Jer out of the show. I knew a major character would be leaving or die but never in a million years did I think it would be him. I thought maybe it was Carol or when Tyler left but not Jer. Each season they take away a favorite character of mine, Jenna, Ric now Jer. Those buggars!!!! lol
OMG this was such a good episode, obviously since I've written a chapter on it. I was so happy that linsell_farm was here to embrace it with me. I miss her coming over each week and our discussions after. And after this episode much discussion was had!
I am sure I missed tons in my cut but there was so much going on in my head about this it was hard to get everything out in a consecutive manner..yes I was all over the mark with this one!!
Love Love Love....LOVE my TVD. I don't care who knows it and if you don't agree with me...too baggy for you because no matter what is said or done...I will always LOVE the greatest thing since slice bread....THE VAMPIRE DIARIES!!!!!
