Question to the flist?

[lizardbeth]

For any White Collar watchers, does Peter mostly call his wife 'Elizabeth'? Does he shorten it to Liz or anything else? I seem to remember him mostly calling her by her full name, but I'm not sure. It's been awhile.

It's not hugely important, but I'd like to know for sure, y'know?

Hee. Show. FINALE. Squee.



HA Katherine kills Sucky John. AND THE CROWD WENT WILD!

But not until he'd already killed Anna. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You are a cold sob and I'm glad you're dead, John.

I love the whole sequence with the vampire weapon (not so much a weapon as a mass-discovery-device, as it turns out) and the fire. Bonnie did the right thing - which I certainly thought so anyway, but she saved a lot of lives. Her warning to Stefan was spot on, but Stefan's response wasn't exactly agreeing with her.

Love Mayor Lockwood and Tyler getting dinged by the device too. I haven't read the books, but I know they're werewolves in that, so it wasn't a surprise. But good to see it finally come out.

"I'm a vampire. what's your excuse?" hee, Damon.

I'm not so much a fan of the woobiefication of Damon, but it was all kind of inevitable that to make a triangle even remotely plausible he'd have to at least STOP KILLING PEOPLE. So between his own inclination to be more human-friendly and Bonnie's leash, he should be more restrained. I'm still really kind of nauseated by the idea of a triangle, but so long as they put it off, that'll be fine. I'd take some more development for both Stefan and Damon instead. Stefan especially, since he's lost his confidence, mostly in himself, after the addiction storyline. Maybe it'll be good for him to confront Katherine finally.

Actually I want Katherine to face off with everybody in the trio. Elena's in position to see her first (unless Katherine Stealths her way out of there, and leaves Uncle John dying on the floor). I'm intrigued to know what her plan is and why she's back. And what the hell she's been doing for 150 years.

hee, Katherine letting Damon just talk and talk and kiss him. She has so much fuel to taunt him with now, if she wants to. and THEN? best thing ever? Jenna invites her in. *dies* I don't think Damon knew -- he seemed kind of stunned, and I think might realize something's wrong, but not what. But he should've zipped back if he was anywhere in the vicinity to hear Elena returning because then he'd realize for sure that it was Katherine.

I suspect Jeremy's effort to turn himself won't work, since an OD seems like something vampire blood might fix, not kill you fast enough to do the turn. But I guess we'll see. He clearly hasn't thought through the whole "Teenager Forever" thing though...

Glad the human trio of Caroline, Matt and Tyler (well, non-vampire) didn't die in the crash.

IS IT SEPTEMBER YET? *sigh*



At least TB starts soon, there'll be more vampire and shifter goodness over the summer!

I have not read the books, but given the high school mascot and Tyler (and his father's) weird behaviour, I had started to put the pieces together.

I am SO UPSET than Anna is dead! She was so cool. But I also think that she wanted to die, a little bit, because WHY ELSE would she go over to the Not Good Vampires?

(If she wanted revenge on John, all she has to do is walk into his house.)

ANYWAY, the end sequence was just awesome. True Blood is about all that's going to keep the summer from being insufferable, and I haven't felt that in a while!

Peter frequently calls her El (or Elle, I'm not sure how it's spelled).

I officially love TVD. LOVE! IT!

And DID YOU SEE THE TRUE BLOOD S3 PROMO????? I... may have shouted in incoherent glee. With the windows open. And neighbors running around outside. *ahem*

I LOVED this finale!

Sad about Anna. Worried for Caroline. Not sure how I feel about John (not convinced he's dead, either). Kinda happy Tyler's father bite the dust. Don't really care what happens to Jeremy :)

I loved Bonnie is this episode and I hope she continues to be awesome next season. Damon...I don't want him to become too woobie but I do like seeing a slightly nicer side to him.

yeah, that's a good point about Anna. She didn't really seem to have much to live for -- she'd spent so much of her life waiting for Pearl and then pearl was taken away and then Jeremy rejected her, too. Though she also went in them so she could get intel and pass it on to Damon. But either way, tragic. boo. :(

I hope we can still get the flashback of Anna meeting Katherine back in '83, or even another flashback with Pearl back in Bitefest days. that'd be fun.

I DID. Kickass promo, yo. And I saw a cllip of Jessica being all bad. hee.

And TVD is so great. I'm so excited about next season.

Ah, I vaguely remembered Peter calling her something short. Thank you. I'm not even sure I need it, since they're not main characters in the fic, but it was bugging me. You know how it is.

I'm pretty sure Caroline is fine. I'm not totally sure about John, either, but she did WHACK HIS FINGERS AND HIS RING OFF and then stab him in the gut. I hope he's dead, though. And I hope Jenna's okay - it occarred to me later that Katherine might have done worse to her than just stuff her in a closet or something. But I don't think the show would kill her offscreen, so there's that.

I'm not sure if Jeremy would be more interesting as a vampire or not. But he's not going anywhere either way.

Flashbacks would be great! As I said in my own review: more period costume!
