TVD 3x14: We're going down, down, down, together.

Feb 10, 2012 10:46

Holy hell. I don't even know what to do with this episode. We all knew this was going to be a bit of a ride, because in Mystic Falls formal wear is code for important events. But man, this was a fun episode. In a totally trippy, none of this makes any sense but I'm in love with how miserable everyone is sort of way. THIS FUCKING SHOW IS THE ( Read more... )

the vampire diaries, damon/rebekah is actually a thing now, watching the sun rise as i type, a filter what is it?, this show owns my heart, fuck my otp, tvd, episode reaction post!

I know the actress who plays Esther is actually English, so why does her accent sound so fake to me?

I think it's because she shouldn't sound English? She's supposed to be medieval Nordic. I think she's supposed to sound strange.

I so hope Kol and Damon have met. I mean, I doubt they were friends, it was probably something more along the lines of "I spilled a martini on your shirt and your retaliatory boning of my date was immature and disproportionate" but still. I hope they know each other.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Esther really does only intend to use the blood for this linking ritual. But having someone else's blood gives you power over that person, and I would be not at all surprised if Esther's spell has some sort of unfortunate side effect on Elena.

Yeah, her "one step at a time" insistence might as well have been her yelling I HAVE AN AGENDA THAT WILL END BADLY FOR YOU.

this is Elena actively wanting to crush him for one terrible second. And it works. She says exactly what she means to say in this one instant, and it ( ... )

If this doesn't become canon, I will weep.

Story of all visitors to Mystic Falls, pretty much. Hasn't Elena learned the code for "I plan to kill you" yet? (Tip: it's whenever anyone speaks to you, Elena.)

how he fights so hard against that vulnerability that it becomes a vulnerability.

Brb, just off to cry for a few hours.

I am so freaking excited for the morning after with Rebekah and Damon. I want them to be hilariously unrepentant and snarky. GIVE ME THIS, SHOW.

Not to sound creepy or anything, but I love everything you have to say here. Why haven't I added you before? Well, I'm doing it now.

I could go on for pages and pages about Elena's frustration with the way Damon loves her

Please do! Your Damon/Elena observations are spot on.

dante_kent February 15 2012, 09:29:38 UTC

It's not creepy - I am a prime stalker, so it is quite refreshing to be stalked. Welcome! I'm glad you like my incessant ramblings. I'm adding you right back!

Not to worry, my Damon/Elena feelings seep into everything I write, without fail. THERE WILL BE MORE.

I'm terribly sorry for all the caps lock and all the exclamations. BUT I NEED TO FLAIL, OK?

So why doesn't Kol like Damon?

Kol is a psychotic jackass with tendencies to show off. Damon is a psychotic jackass with tendencies to show off. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE PSYCHOTIC JACKASS WITH TENDENCIES TO SHOW OFF! Kol won't tolerate anyone stealing his thunder.

? Naturally, the general population of Mystic Falls has no trouble with a centuries-old waltz.

The nit-picker in me feels the urge to tell that the oldest waltz can be 200 years old tops. And, to be the devil's advocate here - the choreography was simple. If you know the basic waltz step, it was enough to have one couple that knows the choreography in front of each column, and everyone else should be able to just follow. I'm a terrible dancer, but after a few lessons during PE classes in high school I would probably be able to smile and nod my way through this entire routine. Except for the change of partners - that was some tricky shit.

Stefan says she can take care of herself, and ( ... )

WHY WOULD YOU EVER APOLOGIZE FOR CAPSLOCK AND FLAIL? You know who I am.

You and your waltz apoligia are A+. Carry on, history geek. I'll join you.

I also think Elena misreads Stefan's motivation.

Absolutely. I do worry that the show wants us to find his way preferable (and not suspect), but I need to stop worrying that we know Stefan better than the show does. That way lies madness.

I SUSPECTED THAT KLAUS CAN BE KILLED BY BREAKING THE VAMPIRE SPELL THAT USES ELENA'S BLOOD!

ALL THE AWARDS FOR YOU AND YOUR PREDICTION. It is not always easy to predict this show. Four for you.

I EMBRACE ALL THE CRACK!This is the tagline for Klaroline. I REGRET NOTHING ( ... )

Hey, it's not my fault that waltz only became popular in 1815...

DARK ELENA IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. I AM THE HAPPIEST.

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY!

All I said about heartbreaks should definitely be read as a compliment!

Are you ready for the Damon/Rebekah morning after? BECAUSE I AM.

I WANT HER TO STAB HIM WITH A POKER BEFORE SHE LEAVES, OK?

Btw, how are you doing lately? I hardly see you :).

dante_kent February 16 2012, 08:34:39 UTC

Hey, it's not my fault that waltz only became popular in 1815...

I hear you, bro. Were Esther and Finn not allowed to dance because they had been dead too long to have witnessed the actual invention of the waltz? They were probably busy being creepy and Oedipal upstairs anyway.

I WANT HER TO STAB HIM WITH A POKER BEFORE SHE LEAVES, OK?THIS WILL BE MOST SATISFYING. Though I've also been envisioning this type of scenario ( ... )

Brief note: so it used to be so much easier with Damon, Elena? WHEN was this, exactly?
When she really didn't want him to kiss her. Now, she just wishes she didn't want him too.

All you said about Damon and Elena and THE SCENE? *weeps* Because, yeah. All of that.

Klaus wanting Caroline to love him is the most adorable thing ever. I keep reminding myself: HE KILLED AUNT JENNA. But I still love him anyway.

And all the LUST for Damon/Rebekah. I've wanted that since the roasting marshmellows scene, so #noregrets!

dante_kent February 15 2012, 09:44:23 UTC

Now, she just wishes she didn't want him too.

Trufact. Dream on, Elena (except her dreams are already filled with Damon, so that won't work. Oh, Elena.).

I am still thrilled about the D/E scene. So wonderful in its absolute agony.

Oh, yeah, Klaus DID kill Aunt Jenna. I was mad at him about that. And yet I still want him to stay forever? TVD, how do you do these things.

And all the LUST for Damon/Rebekah. I've wanted that since the roasting marshmellows scene, so #noregrets!

This is the correct reaction. :)

catteo February 11 2012, 00:22:50 UTC

I actually thought that the 'previously's were to remind me what Kat sounded like so when she rocked up later on I would be all THAT MUST BE KAT! But sadly no. WHERE THE HELL IS KATHERINE?

I agree so whole-heartedly with this post that things might get repetitive.

Matt/Elena are suddenly all over the screen and I can think of only one reason for this. We shall see.

Rebekah is the BEST BRAT IN THIS BAR. Everything about her was A+++, especially her decision-making SKILLZ.

Esther is boring me. Except I had EXACTLY the same thought as you that maybe undoing turning her kidlets into vamps was somehow going to undo the existence of ALL vamps. If we both thought it then show is going to have some explaining to do!

Damon's disgust with himself about the fact that his emotions were getting in the way was HILARIOUS. As was the extremely self-destructive way in which he set about dealing with it. I LOVE HIM SO.

and all I can think of is that they're ALL holding their champagne glasses wrong. #such a snob #the Originals should really know ( ... )

dante_kent February 15 2012, 09:57:05 UTC

Kat just bides her time until she can make the most dramatic entrance possible. That being said, I'M WAITING, MISS PIERCE.

I was so sure Matt/Elena were happening immediately, and I'm still sure, but after this episode I can't decide if Matt/Elena or Stefan/Elena will rekindle their past relationships first. It's a romantic nostalgia race, basically.

Rebekah is the BEST BRAT IN THIS BAR.

THINGS THAT ARE TRUE.

It seems we're not alone in our reaction to Esther and her sketchy spell. I like the idea that she intends to undo the existence of all vampires, it's a pretty interesting twist. That being said, I do NOT want it to work, ever. I want my vampires to stay vampires forever and ever. FANGS 4EVER PLEASE.

I take proper champagne etiquette seriously, ok? And so should Elijah. #most OOC incident in this episode

FELLOW DAMON!STAN, COME JOIN ME IN MY CAVE OF FEELINGS.

He doesn't understand how he has become this person who TELLS Elena how he feels. He doesn't understand how he allows himself to feel.This, completely. I think ( ... )
