meganbmooreClearly, my priorities do not always function properly.
See, when Bonnie and Jeremy talk about their lives and feelings and bond of the things they care about, I am bored, despite being thrilled that it looks like Bonnie is going to get to do things not related to being brought out to cast a spell to help with the latest vampire-related problem, and then disappear again. When Caroline is pwning Tyler all over the place and he is trying to sneak up on her and accidentally kicking trash cans 50 feet, I am all "I want them to hook up and be supernatural crimefighters forever and ever and ever." And bonding over awkward teen superpowers. And, soon, over their mothers being monsterhunters.
Also, I was very surprised to learn that Tyler has a brain. Admittedly, it appears to be a small one, and rather one-track, but it's there. It's ok. Caroline has plenty to spare.
And I...have mostly been laughing at Damon and his Pain these two episodes? Like, his "then I'll protect her" at the tomb? Really? Like when you tried to kill Katherine a few minutes ago, knowing that it'd kill Elena too? Who's going to protect her from him? And then his actually thinking that Elena was running to him. Like, is he just completely disconnected from reality? And then the Single Emo Tear. Which I'm sure was meant to be touching and tragic, but considering that, until he started compelling her, she was basically trying not to freak out because the last time he snuck into her bedroom, he seemed to be about to force himself on her and then murdered her brother because she turned him down. Such a creepster. And I may have been screaming at the screen when he was in Caroline's bedroom (you know, the place where he repeatedly raped and abused her) even as I appreciated that she's 10 times smarter than him. (Damon is an idiot. Even if you disagree on everything else, Ii don't think this can be denied.)
Moving on:
1. I there, Bela from Supernatural! You will no doubt die soon, making me mad at the show again, but i'll enjoy you while you're hear. This show and fandom can't possibly be half as bad to you as the last one. Also,m congrats on not dying your first episode!
2. Hi there, new Bennett witch who reminds me of Gina Torres! (Thus reinforcing my belief that Bree was a Bennett.) You, too, managed to survive your first episode. I'm sure you will come back to break the spell on the tomb, and then promptly die.
(Why, yes, I did notice that she show killed 2 women in an episode where the plot was about trying to kill a woman. How did you notice my bitterness? And yeah, the show has been killing off more men lately, but I think the ratio is still about 4 or 5 dead women to every dead man.)
3. I like that we have two long term male/female vampire friendships that appear to have been completely platonic. Even if half of both sets died in their first episode.
4. Speaking of which, we know that Lexi and Stefan were friends for over a century and that Stefan got over her Crazed Monster phase pretty quickly and has been beating himself up for it ever since, so do we think that it was Lexi who got him through it? Because there has been a lot of name dropping lately.
5. You are bringing in Klaus, show, thank you very much. Please oh please oh please bring Meredith too.
6. Caroline's face when Alaric was explaining how he kills vampires! She was both filing it away for future reference and all "But...you're my teacher...and...I'm a vampire..."
7. I lovelovelove that Stefan gave Elena the varbane bomb and let her go out alone.Something Damon and his "wait in the car, you precious and delicate flower" speeches would never let her do. As much as I dislike how the show tends to cast humans as needing to be protected and not able to save themselves, most of the time, I do like that Stefan, at least, tends to usually stick to his claims that he believes Elena can handle danger and take care of herself ost situations.
