Things I Have Recently Watched

I didn't know whether to use a Vampire Diaries or Gossip Girl icon for this entry, so I put my Dark Shadows icon back, in honor of how terrible the new movie is. So let's talk about that first.

Hi Hi! How are you?

[kita0610]

I'm ... fair?

I miss seeing your name round here. IT IS GOOD TO SEE IT AGAIN.

*hugs* I know things have been rough. I hope you're feeling better!

I miss being around here! &fandom;

I think I've said it to you before, but I totally agree about Klaus. He was built up as this big bad for like two seasons, and then when he shows up, firstly he's played by Joseph Morgan who has no subtlety or menace as an actor, and secondly he's not nearly as badass as they made him out to be

[redbrickrose]

Yes! I wanted Klaus to be way more badass, way less whiny. Whiny is terrible look on a villain. On paper, I probably should be all about Klaus, but he just doesn't work for me.

I don't think I've ever seen a show where basically anyone bar the central three characters is potentially dead at any moment. I agree that Alaric's transformation was a bit rushed, though.I do like it that they don't pull punches and that the stakes are real. I just love Alaric. :((( And I wanted him to have better good-byes with other people. :((( But I guess he got that in the episode where he transitions, so fair enough. I thought that was really well done

I choose to believe that not all of Damon's intense grief in that scene was for Elena.

Me, too. :)

[redbrickrose]

Damon and Alaric and their epic bromance. :((( The saddest part is all the fic that never happened. :((

[lynnenne]

Oh, there was fic. It's just that most of it was not worth reading. :(

[redbrickrose]

You're right, I should have qualified that. Why was it all so terrible? :(
