[television] that is not breaking bad | "you'll meet me in the middle..."
PROGRESS ON THE "waltzmatildah IS MOVING ON" FRONT HAS BEEN MADE!
Up until yesterday I was all;
Today I'm all, let's talk The Vampire Diaries and Grey's Anatomy!
So,
First: GREY'S ANATOMY
[-] SO BORING
[-] SO, SO BORING
[-] Cristina and Alex in the bed was the best part. I'm not surprised it was the sneak peek because literally nothing else even remotely entertaining happened.
[-] Did anyone notice that the cereal Cristina was eating was called 'Heart Lover'??? THAT DID MAKE ME GRIN. Oh, look at you show, trying to be all meta and clever but seriously, why start now??
[-] Also, the "It's all about meeeeeeeeee..." mother from the Cristina/Alex storyline was totally wearing my top!! It's from Loft. I got mine in, um, Toronto! At the Eaton Centre. #goodtimes
[-] Oh, one serious thing. I'm super glad Meredith is getting shat on again. I mean, it's been like, at least three and a half episodes since THAT happened last... RME.
[-] Grey's was so boring I had to un-do it with The Vampire Diaries, which I had no initial intention of watching. BUT I AM SO GLAD I DID BECAUSE, HOT DAMNNNNN...
So, onto: THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
[-] KATHERINE. KATHERINE!!!!!!!! She was so perf. SO PERF. And she's still got it. OH, YEAH. She gets away from both Silas AND Jeremy in the space of like, four scenes. YOU GO, MY BB GIRL! Also, if you need some place to hang out in the bathtub hide, I have plenty of space! Also, I love that she couldn't just shave her legs with, like, a normal razor. THAT WAS A STRAIGHT RAZOR, RIGHT?? Girl is so BAMF. I mean, obviously it made for a better weapon when Silas needed slicing and dicing but... STILL...
[-] Damon/Katherine. The heart wants what it wants, NGL. And by 'the' heart, I do mean 'my' heart. I don't even know. I love that he was ~immediately back under her spell in a lot of ways. BECAUSE OF COURSE. Also, he offered her blood straight away, which was excellent on many levels (both practical/narrative-wise and waltzmatildah-still-ships-it-wise). Also, I buy that he'd give her up for Stefan because, well, it's Damon. 'Nuff said, really.
[-] Also, there is SO MUCH TROUBLE IN PARADISE COMING FOR DAMON/ELENA. It can't just be me that thinks that, right? They've had their moment in the sun. The countdown is on to SHENANIGANS of a HEARTBREAK nature, yes/yes? Damon is going to get screwed. It's going to be glorious in so many ways.
[-] Elena and Caroline were OMG SO GOOD. I've never had that experience. That experience of going to college and getting allocated roommates, and going to sorority parties and all that jazz. University just doesn't work like that for most people in Tasmania(/Australia?). BUT IF I HAD HAD THAT EXPERIENCE, I EXPECT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST LIKE THAT!!! Also, the girls' characterisation seemed SPOT ON to me in this episode. Caroline was hi-freaking-larious with her "we have to compel her to keep ourselves safe!" and "we have to creep through all her stuff to make sure she's not intending to creep through all of ours!". And that contrasted so accurately with Elena's "let's be BFFs with her instead because that usually works heaps well for bending people to my will!" KUDOS, SHOW. KUDOS.
[-] Also, the final scene between them? I think that underlined the current status of their friendship so cleanly. Especially on the back of Elena's reaction to Jesse as a Potential Love Interest for Caroline, and her little digs about the status of Caroline's relationship with Tyler. Though, Care baby, CAN I PLEASE JUST WARN YOU ABOUT THE DANGERS OF HOOKING UP WITH BOYS CALLED JESSE?? Okay, good.
[-] Silastefan is most excellent. I LOVED the scene with Liz in particular. And the way he played Damon in the bar, "It's always been me first..."
[-] I don't get why it seems they're pushing the Stefan/Elena doppelganger connection over the Stefan/Katherine one. I mean, I do get it (triangle buffoonery etc), but what's the logic behind it? Is there one? I mean, Katherine is as much as doppelganger as Elena is, right? Or is it nothing to do with them both being doppelgangers and is it more to do with the fact that Elena is his One True Love? I'm not sure where they're going there. BUT I AM, FOR ONCE, INTERESTED TO FIND OUT. This is most excellent progress! Also, Stefan's hallucination was Human!Elena, right? Yes? Was that foreshadowing? Or significant? Or am I reading too much into it?
[-] More Silastefan scenes though, please. Before they get to the Stefan/Elena/Damon/Katherine WHATEVER IT IS GOING TO BE, I would like more Silastefan. Though, I must say, I could do with less of the phrase "shadow self" because that seems so... I don't even know. I just don't like the phrase, okay?
[-] Jeremy and Damon kinda weirded me out. Though I suspect I will not be alone in that opinion. What even was that weird hug thing on the road??
[-] OMG at Elena concocting her own (because, LBR, it is her own, right??) cover story via Jeremy!! She had shades of Skyler White happening, right there! We're not supposed to think that was anything other that terrible, are we? I mean, we're not still buying into, "she does these things for Jeremy because she looooves him" schtick are we? I've been out of fandom for too long to know what the current party line is on this one...
[-] Matt. HA. HAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
[-] Rebekah and Nadia? Oh, HAI THAR! Feel free to be doing more of that on my screen. Regardless of the implications, it was hot. And I am shallow. That is all.
[-] Also, Bonnie's fake vacation is all for Elena's benefit? Really? They're going there? Hmmm... I need to see the fall-out before I make any decisions on that one.
[-] In short? I will be back next week. The show has sucked me back in with its Elena/Caroline-ness, and its Katherine-ness, and its Silastefan-ness. THERE I SAID IT.
To conclude, I saw this graphic today and, even when I'm not looking at it, even when I'm just thinking about it, it is all I can do not to TOTALLY LOSE MY SHIT. So, on that note, good day to you all.
