jedi_of_urthHmm, well I have feelings about that at least.

Okay, so I spent a lot of this episode literally face-palming everything having to do with Damon/Elena, but now I kind of...hate it but I hate it in story instead of because I feel like I’m supposed to be chill with it. I mean sired-Elena makes it sketchy as hell, but that makes it INTERESTING instead of just stupid Triangle back-and-forth stuff.
However, my forehead does hurt from the amount of face-palming up until that point.
Klaus/Caroline is back to being Elena/Elijah-lite, meaning they’re likable, and have good chemistry, but I just don’t get it because it doesn’t fit them. It fits Elena and Elijah to have this weird connection with someone they shouldn’t where they’re friends in spite of the ways they shouldn’t be, and forgive each other even if they hurt each other. Klaus and Caroline don’t fit like that.
Also it was just shy of face-palming for Caroline to apparently not realize that Care being out with Klaus might be a problem for Elena as much as the idea of Elena/Damon is a problem for Caroline. Because there is no one Elena hates more than Klaus (except *maybe* Rebekah but that’s only for one thing rather than a whole bunch of things).
I was loving (in a skeevy sort of way) Stefan’s story this episode. It’s sketchy as hell, very over the line but fully in keeping with the morally bankrupt morality of this show. I was fully expecting this to become a thing that went on for an episode or two, Stefan making vampires for Jeremy to kill before it turned sideways on them. But apparently after all this time I still don’t instinctively get how this show works, because I expect plots to build for a while before the shit hits the fan instead of it happening basically right away.
The final reveal *kind of* helps with what was going to be my big question of why Elena had to go stay with the Salvatores rather than say swapping places with Matt which would seem kind of duh to me. And they could have broken me again by having her end up all alone like 3x17 stabbed me in the heart.
The final reveal doesn’t undo one of my issues with the last scene though. I’m sorry Damon but in no way, shape, or form is Elena more alive now than she was before. If the show wanted us to think Damon had the right of it maybe don’t right/direct/perform her as if she’s completely and utterly depressed with flashes of rage that she later regrets to drive her deeper into that depression which is *actually* the way things have happened.
On a similar note, if it were up to me this would have to be the death of Damon/Elena forever, because this can never be made to be acceptable after this. I know that, unlike Klaus, Damon didn’t do it on purpose or intentionally take advantage of it (yet, I wouldn’t put it past him to do it), but it can NEVER work. And the fact that she had to be sired to him for it to ever happen in the first place ought to be a clue that that’s the case. However it’s not up to me so it’ll probably only get worse.
Anyway, small notes:
-Oh Klaus, you and I both know you would never let anyone kill Stefan.
-Have I gotten around to mentioning how much I don’t like the new intro? Because I don’t, I find it cluttered.
-So we have a soft fate to work off of here, it’s been about a year since s1’s MMF, it’s been a pretty big year for these people.
-So sired Elena would seem to me to be yet another reason for people to CALL ELIJAH. Although they could talk to Shane first this time since he’s their new go to character for trying to get intel.
-What is Shane’s goal in all this anyway? Also, the various sides of his grand plot don’t seem to mesh well.
-I love Matt SO MUCH
P.S. LJ now I have to go figure out how to set my post editor back to the old way. Why must you make changes for me that I don't want? I do not like change, is this payback for refusing to click on change over to the new f-list view, because I still refuse to do that because again, I don't want change.
P.P.S I'm not finding it LJ, and I'm angry about being forced to change. I really don't like it on its own either.
