I promised real thoughts on this episode, so here it goes ;). I'm terribly late with replying to comments and reading other episode reactions, I know. It's just that school started, real life takes up a lot of time, and when I actually have some internet time, I try to write fic. I'll do my best to be less late, but I'm not sure if I can catch up ( Read more... )

note to self: less talk, fictional vampires ruin my life, yes i'm always like that, elena gilbert is amazing, damon omg damon, dear lord, how unfortunate, fandom: the vampire diaries, caroline forbes is awesome

Elena had to prove she could get them through the rough part

That's a part of her Good Girl persona that she's trying so hard to keep. You choose someone, and then you stick to them even if it kills you. I'm good with the show depicting her act like this, depicting how harmful this is for her in a long run.

I liked the vomit metaphor, but then I generally enjoy disgusting things in art ;).

Okay, you've just given me a thought, maybe the reason Damon looked so worried about Stefan after Mikael fed was because there was an implied sexual nature to it, and it was kind of rape-y. Because would a feeding be that much more severe than a neck snap?

IDK, it seemed like Damon was reacting to Mikael being so vicious? Neck-snap is quick and clean, feeding took longer, was more painful, gave Stefan time to be afraid. Besides, when Mikael fed on Katherine, the writers already knew Elena would turn (because they've been planning for it to happen at some point this since the beginning of the series), and they probably also knew that she'd share blood with Damon (because, LOL, they're TVD writers, of course they wouldn't let sth like this pass). That brutal feeding scene with Katherine would be a loose end hanging there for no reason nor purpose; it makes no sense from the storytelling point of view?
