TVD 3x11: All you have to do is get Stefan to stop decapitating my friends.

Jan 14, 2012 09:10

After a week of waiting eagerly for a new TVD episode, I somehow allowed myself to pass out on the long-awaited Thursday evening, figuring that I could postpone the gratification and watch the new episode on Friday night instead.

MISTAKE.

For one, I had to avoid the internet all day. It is embarrassing how much of my internet-related doings are TVD ( Read more... )

this show owns my heart, a filter what is it?, tvd, the vampire diaries, watching the sun rise as i obsessively t, episode reaction post!

I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU WHEN THE HEART-RIPPING WAS HAPPENING!!!

That being said, this scene was lovely. I like that we had the heartfelt, meaningful confession from Tyler, and that it still doesn't change a thing. Also, their faces. So there's that.

You just like them again because they're not together any more :PPPP.

This is why I watch TVD when everyone else in my house is asleep.

I once watched TVD with a friend, in a public place. Never again...

Because how could they NOT know that all Tyler had to do was feed her his blood? Not a big deal.

But is it hybrid blood that cures, or just Klaus' blood?

Would it help if I said that I share your Stefan/Elena feelings? Because I totally do.

Did anyone else have trouble understanding what Elena said in the "You can't kiss me again" line?

I THOUGHT IT WAS MY ENGLISH FU FAILING ME!!! Now I feel excused.

I'M SORRY. I will get better.

Nah, you won't :P

Is it wrong that I take this as a compliment?

But is it hybrid blood that cures, or just Klaus' blood?

I did think about that. But that brings up the question: is Klaus special as a hybrid? Or is he just the first, so they're all loyal to him? Are there hybrid hierarchies of power? #overanalyzing fictional creatures

Would it help if I said that I share your Stefan/Elena feelings? Because I totally do.

IT DOES HELP. Solidarity.

Oh, but it was a compliment!

Idek, I just assumed that, since the Originals have some bonus talents they can see all the flocked posts, then Klaus could also have something as the Original Hybrid.

HEART-RIPPING BEFORE THE TITLE CARD? This is a good day.

I like the way you think!

I love that Stefan ships Damon/Elena and Damon ships Stefan/Elena. Stefan has to know something is going on with them. And then DAMON IS IN A GOOD MOOD, which has probably not happened since the Grant Administration.

Love Damon's blatantly antagonistic relationship with the invisible dead witches. Taunt them more, Damon, because that always works out for you. Basically, I love it when Damon acts like a child. So, always.

I KNOW, it is hilarious.

LOL at Damon's short list. Except Liz and Carol are totally on it too, even though he would never admit it. MOMMY LOVES MEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Their whole relationship was based on this idea that they saved each other - she helps him hold on to his humanity and he helped her escape her grief-fueled existence - but that relationship is dead. I honestly don't see how they can ever come back from all this.See, I think this is the only way they could have a functional relationship. It's not that co-dependence ( ... )

I love that Stefan ships Damon/Elena and Damon ships Stefan/Elena.

And Elena ships Stefan/Damon. Even THEY want OT3. Make it happen, show.

And then DAMON IS IN A GOOD MOOD, which has probably not happened since the Grant Administration.

LOL. Win.

See, I think this is the only way they could have a functional relationship. It's not that co-dependence anymore, because what they're learning from this arc is that they can save themselves, and it's not them flinging themselves into the whims of fate anymore.

I actually completely agree with this. I just meant that their relationship as it was can never be recovered (which is what I think Elena has secretly been hoping for all this time). They can never be each other's saviours again. But they can be something else (and I think I will like this something else a lot better, if and when it happens).

And Stefan needs things proved externally to him.

THIS. A+++

I can't reply to everything right now cos I've gotta go out, but I just wanted to say DON'T FEEL WEIRD about appreciating but not shipping Stefan/Elena. Because to be honest that's pretty much where I am too. I use the word "shipping" loosely, because it really just means I really enjoy their scenes and find them kind of awesome... but it doesn't mean I want them to get back together or make up a thousand different ways they could end up that way in my head when I can't sleep at night. As with Damon/Elena. So. Even though I'm loving the Stefan/Elena, it's still a different kettle of fish for me too.

dante_kent January 16 2012, 06:54:23 UTC

Thank you, my dear. I was legitimately starting to worry that I'd become one of those mindless shippers who can't get past her own bias for a certain couple. I would LOVE to ship Stefan/Elena...I just can't. I will live and die with D/E. But I am actually interested in what they do with Stefan and Elena, which is a massive improvement over the last two seasons. Basically, I love season 3.

or make up a thousand different ways they could end up that way in my head when I can't sleep at night.

I DO THIS WITH MY SHIPS. HELLO I AM A TRUE FANGIRL.

midnightblack07 January 15 2012, 04:59:15 UTC

But guys, it's confession time. I know everyone is flailing about the glorious dysfunction of Stefan/Elena right now, and I dig it more than I've ever dug them before. But...I am still not feeling the shipper love?

aww don't feel left out bb, I think I may actually feel the exact same way you do?? lol

Like, they're defintely grabbed my attention in a way they never have before (at scene at the bridge this episode in particular did more for me than perhaps every other S/E I've ever seen combined), but I definately wouldn't call myself a "shipper" by any stretch of the word because I'm still not inspired by them romantically--I guess I'm just really loving the angst and the dark edge atm?? *-)

&& I totally second you in your love for Klaus, and I am more or less prepared to ship Klaus/Caroline like burning LOL *waits for everyone to write her all the fic*

dante_kent January 16 2012, 06:58:53 UTC

♥ Yay, thank you, I am not alone. I so agree that the bridge scene was one of the very best S/E moments ever - I love that I can finally talk about all the fascinating and messed up parts of their relationship that are now canon (and not things that the writers seem to think are romantic). But to me they are glorious in the destruction of their love, not the eventual regaining of that love.

I am more or less prepared to ship Klaus/Caroline like burning LOL *waits for everyone to write her all the fic*

I WILL WAIT WITH YOU EAGERLY. The more I think about it the more I want it in the weirdest, crackiest, most phenomenal way.

part one. (this comment is as long as your review prob.) ever_neutral January 15 2012, 06:03:13 UTC

It is embarrassing how much of my internet-related doings are TVD related (which I realized when I got on my computer and discovered I couldn't do ANYTHING I wanted to do without spoiling myself. Sad.).

lol. I am terrified to check my flist Friday mornings for fear of this. This show has ruined my life in so many ways.

Btw, I want to adopt Stefan's face.

It's mine, bitch.

It's like she couldn't muster the energy to make herself perfect, because what was the point? My poor Caroline. Or am I just reading way too much into the usually questionable decisions of the hair and make-up department? We'll never know.

No, you're right. My other friend dubbed it The Straight Hair of Sadness.

Rebekah gets her own room in Klaus's Dream House. My head!canon dictates that there is an adjoining door between her room and Klaus's.

SCREAMING

Stefan: Friends don't strip friends of their free will.
Me: JUST THEIR CLOTHES. EVERYTHING WHAT YOU SAY ( ... )

part two. ever_neutral January 15 2012, 06:08:23 UTC

Ooh, the force-feeding in this episode was more of a callback to the first time Damon did it to Elena back in S1, IMO. That was more of a collateral damage situation than the 2x20 incident, which really was abuse in the name of love, as opposed to THIS. Which, omfg, this: He feeds Elena his blood as part of his plan, but hell if there isn't the tiniest part of him that believes that this is the way to have his forever with Elena. -- LKDJFSDFS;F. It's like punishing her for telling him she DIDN'T want to be with him forever. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MY EMOTIONS ARE DOING.

AMEN to all your Elena/Stefan thoughts. I will never get tired of Elena just RAGING at Stefan, all illusions shattered. And heh, it's weird that Damon/Elena should be any sort of model for any other r/ship, but. I kind of love that this persistent disillusionment and persistent love is something D+E have already mastered. OUR KIDS ARE THE BEST LOL.

More than anything, he doesn't understand how anyone could love any version of himself other than the Stefan-approved Hero ( ... )

part three: this part is just shameless damon/elena talk, basically. ever_neutral January 15 2012, 06:11:11 UTC

Did anyone else have trouble understanding what Elena said in the "You can't kiss me again" line? … I was all "I KNOW I LOVE THIS SCENE. I'm just not entirely sure what's going on."

ME TOO. Nina's delivery was fucking cute, but also a bit incomprehensible on first listen. But omg, I love how emotional and vulnerable she got with that line. My heart exploded.

It's basically the D/E tagline: Not yet. Someday, who knows what day. But not yet.

UGHHHHH, WHY MUST YOU PULL MY FEELS FROM MY PERSON. And yes to the anti-soulmates thing. These two are so the antithesis of that. They've never fitted perfectly, they were never meant to happen, but man, idk. SOMETHING. Probably just chemistry, lol. It's like they happened DESPITE the universe's best efforts to stop it. They are simultaneously impossible and inevitable. TOO MUCH WAXING POETIC? idec. I'm in a fucking great mood today, lol.

Also, shameless shipper moment: "The girl who didn't fall in love with vampires." Vampires. Plural. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, ELENA.lol. A slip of the ( ... )

shameless damon/elena talk is THE BEST talk. dante_kent January 16 2012, 07:37:16 UTC

But omg, I love how emotional and vulnerable she got with that line. My heart exploded.

MINE TOO. Once I understood it, obviously. She sounds so pleading - she's not laying down the law, she's asking, because she knows if he kisses her, she'll kiss him back. CAN'T EVEN I AM DYING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

It's like they happened DESPITE the universe's best efforts to stop it.

THIS IS THE REASON I WILL DIE WITH THIS SHIP. It shouldn't exist, it shouldn't work - but it does. They can't help themselves with each other. NEVER ENOUGH WAXING POETIC WITH THESE TWO ( ... )
