I am so late to this party. But I have thoughts, The Vampire Diaries thoughts. And so I thought I'd make the most of this sudden turn of events and share them. Feel free to ignore :)
I love your thoughts, they are filled with awesome.
I called Elena turning when in the previous episode Damon said; 'And in sixty years we'll be brothers again like nothing happened', I was all, aww sweet, oh, this isn't good. You make such a great point, and I hadn't even thought about that; Elena turning (or just considering turning) as self sacrifice would've made such a brilliant parallel, it's a shame the writers didn't explore it.
Also, did anyone else think the whole 'Stefan saves Matt and leaves a completely conscious and lucid Elena in the vehicle' thing was so ridiculously contrived?! There are so many other ways that could have gone down, all of which make a shed load more sense than what we actually got.I have ranted so much about this, so much, it's possibly partly due to my pent up 'I don't get why he didn't get the Gilbert's out of the car' which I've been going on about (and think Elena should be more pissed about) since season one. And was really looking forward to find out this ep, and then he does it again. Do
( ... )
To be honest, I spent most of last episode laughing uproariously at the ridiculousness and so I didn't pick up on Elena's imminent date with vampire-dom before the very start of this episode (well, at least not beyond thinking it had to happen soon enough). And on that note, that's why this episode is so far ahead of last week's for me. I honestly thought last week was full of unintentional crack and was basically stupid! Haha
( ... )
Yeah, I get what you mean, I think the crack was a big part of the reason I loved 3.21 so much, I mean Klaus is throwing fence posts, and then I'm somehow rooting for Klaus to steal Elena just to get cracky Klaus/Stefan/Elena roadtrip :D.
Oh yay for me not being the only one who fixates on the elder!Gilberts deaths and Elena's reactions.
I think sometimes Damon lies in the road for rock-bottomness. Sometimes vampires just need to lie in a road for snacks :D. But you're right, nothing will stop the casual chat being stupid.
Ooh, I hadn't thought of Tyler knowing stuff, I only got the idea from the way Tyler was looking at her when he said 'you're strong and you have a beautiful future ahead of you' it felt like such a Klaus thing to me, and also the 'I was just with Bonnie' thing. I guess it's a mystery.
the 'I was just with Bonnie' thing is what made me wonder if it was an arrangement between he and Bonnie... BUT I DO NOT KNOWWWWWWWW!!!! *stamps feet impatiently* I DO NOT like not knowing!!
Butting in is actively encouraged over this way!! .it's totally her to get swept up in the ~grand ~romantic ~gesture and kind of enjoy that aspect of it instead of just seeing it as a road trip. 110% agree now that you've pointed it out! As I've said previously, I rarely have to have an independent thought about this show these days!! Haha! But no, seriously, I think you're completely accurate (and obvs this was supported by Plec so...).
