butterflyAround the three minute mark, I became just as annoyed and frustrated as Damon was. Elena says, "then I guess I'll just be dead," Damon sputters in disbelief and looks at Stefan, who shrugs. What? What? Damn, Stefan really does feel like passively agreeing to everything Elena says - to the point of sanctioning her suicide - is the only way to keep the relationship, doesn't he?
I don't know if any of the Stefan/Elena people who are on my flist read my reviews but... what the actual fuck? If that's love, I don't want it. Hell, if that's an ideal relationship and I'd had it when I was Elena's age, I'd be dead ten years ago because I was suicidal at that age. I officially declare the S/E relationship completely beyond my understanding. Because WTAF. I do not understand how this relationship is healthy in any way. Elena could be having a relationship with her bedroom mirror and it would be giving her just as much as Stefan does (smile and nod!).
Okay, so hopefully the rest of the episode isn't as infuriating as the pre-credit part.
Yeah, Klaus's witch-guy (don't remember his name) just threw Carol Lockwood off the freaking stairs. Not getting less pissed off, show!
Okay, check out this conversation about Elena's instincts. You know, I love Elena. I do not think she has good instincts. She's been wrong several times in her instinctual trust of someone, especially when it comes to making deals. And I'm glad that Damon, at least, remembers this. Since Stefan seems to have the memory of a goldfish tonight (last night).
Oh, hey, Tyler! I remember that you were an idiot in the last episode (leaving with Jules, wtf?) but hopefully you've gotten better!
Aw, see, I knew that Matt wasn't evil. He has doubts; he just can't reconcile the whole vampire thing. Yet. But there's a chance he might. Try, Matt!
*sigh*
And so he decides to blame Damon.
Ah, when I read about Damon needing forgiveness from Elena, part of me wondered if he would give her vampire blood to try to save her life.
So, will Elena feel less happy about the ritual when she realizes that it would involve sacrificing Caroline and Tyler, too? Well, she's unhappy now. But, you know, she seemed pretty calm about it pre-vampire blood. I guess she just assumes that Klaus would kill off a vampire and a werewolf she didn't know. Very cynical/vampire of her - 'two random people can die as long as I can save my loved ones'.
This Alaric-Damon-Klaus scene is really great. Alaric! I'm so glad you're okay!
Katherine is so hard-core. Standing in the sunlight so that Klaus doesn't guess about the vervain.
Awww. Tyler-Caroline conversation! She doesn't hate him!
Damon showing his soft side and saving Tyler on Caroline's say-so. Aw. All the Matt stuff is... yeah. He's obviously incredibly conflicted.
Ah, Stefan and Elena are having an honest conversation. Elena says that she's not sure if she knows what love is and then tells Stefan that she knows she loves him. That's... amusingly contradictory, thanks, Elena. I feel like I should be getting emotional in this conversation for Elena. Maybe my bad mood and lack of sleep is what's keeping me from it because I'm... not feeling it.
"No one needs to get hurt," Elena says, but she already knows that two (currently unknown to her) people are supposed to die in this ritual in addition to herself, so I don't know what bullshit she's smoking.
So, Stefan 'lets Elena make up her mind' but then he calls Damon, who tells him that he'll 'take care of it'. Ugh, this is yet more 'Damon is the designated bad boy brother' that does all the hard work while Stefan sits back and enjoys the results (or insults Damon for not doing it well enough).
"I wasn't lost," Greta tells Elena. Familiar words for the women on this show. Few of them are lost.
He turned Jenna into the vampire sacrifice. Ah. How do you feel about killing off a 'random' vampire now, Elena?
And Damon's been bitten - I guess when he was helping Tyler escape.
In conclusion - my sympathies lie with Damon, Caroline, Jenna, Tyler, and Matt right now. And Alaric, though he doesn't need my sympathies so much. I'm kinda pissed at Elena for... various reasons that I already covered. And Stefan was basically completely pointless. Elena could have been walking around with a volleyball all day instead of Stefan and things would have gone exactly the same.
