TVD: Brave New World

[lizardbeth]

heh, This week maybe I should write something here, before I go around and blab all over the internet, shouldn't I?



Okay, first things first, Caroline-the-vampire is everything I hoped it would be, which in a word -- AWESOME. She figured it out pretty much on her own. She managed not to kill the nurse. She PWNED DAMON IN FABULOUS BOOTS. (which, y'know, makes it even better)

okay, yes, I am totally Team Stefan if I have to pick. Damon's funny and all, but really -- He sucks as boyfriend human material. Stefan on the other hand... he's got his issues, but did you see how awesome he was with Caroline? Helping her understand that she can control it (which of course she can -- it's not for nothing twelve zillion characters reminded us that Caroline's a control freak) and easing her fear. All while being focused on HER. So sweet. I hope he continues to mentor her and he can keep the promise of not letting anything happen to her, when he failed with Vicki.

I have no idea how it's going to go with Caroline's mom though. Is Caroline going to eat her? Will Liz found out and try to kill her? Will she have second thoughts about this vampire killing business? I... don't think it'll end well for poor Liz, though. :(


Back to the ship -- when Elena was all frustrated about running the carnival and wanting to be normal, I just adore that little amused smile Stefan gets. It's small things like that where Paul really makes me believe that Stefan is 150 years old. Which I guess should make me wonder what the hell Stefan sees in a high schooler, but then Elena is something of an old soul herself so it works for me. She's inexperienced at life but not immature.

But they really do work so well together. They can be honest and call each other on their crap, and remember to do things like live a little between each storm. *sigh*

Here's my 25 cents to ride on the ship. I'm now invested. DAMN YOU SHOW.

Bonnie... oh, Bonnie, I understand you're angry with the world right now, especialy Damon, but this is heading rapidly to Dark!Willow territory and I'm not sure Elena is your Xander. Beware the Dark Side, Young Padawan, before it consumes you...

Random tidbits:
- Tyler, no shirt. Nooo, I didn't notice, are you crazy, he's like half my age! ahem.
- so Mason is as strong as Stefan. Or at least enough that Stefan couldn't take him without revealing himself. That means werewolves won't be as easy for vamps as they are on TB. THANK YOU JULIE AND KEVIN. (god, that was so stupid and lame on TB.)
- I'm still a bit disappointed that my half-formed idea of Mason and Stefan bonding over trying to control their supernatural 'curses' doesn't look like it'll happen. *crosses fingers anyway*
- Mama Lockwood is interim mayor. And Damon is head of the Founder's Council, to help them hunt vampires. *snicker*
- NINJA TURTLES.
- Team Jacob t-shirts. Clever show.
- Bonnie is going to have to make daywalker bling for Caroline eventually.





Now that your regularly scheduled squee is over, back to fic.

hee, that's okay, that's how I think too. :)

There's a group who seem too eager to write Bonnie off and not let her DEVELOP. Whereas I'd rather she keep her protector of the town mantle as long as possible, but learn to temper her reactions. But that's the thing -she has to learn to do it. So yeah, setting Damon on fire, it wasn't his fault THAT time, but it's not like he's never DONE that sort of thing before. So she's just got to learn where to put that do-not-cross line. That'll come with Caroline, I think you're right. Because now it's not an outsider like the Salvatores, it's Caroline, and Bonnie already crossed her own line by insisting Damon give her blood to heal her so she wouldn't die. Bonnie will come around.

But I like that she's one of the few characters who calls Damon on his shit, because god knows, nobody else does. Well, except for Caroline this ep! <3
