I have solved the great mystery! and TVD

[lizardbeth]

Have you ever looked at what someone wrote about your show/your ship and thought "How is that person even watching the same show?" I don't mean in a "wow Ian Somerhalder is pretty so Damon's not that bad" sort of way - but in a "where the hell did you get THAT" or "That didn't even happen!" way.

Well, I've figured it out with the application of alcohol and Doctor Who. Obviously, it's NOT the same show.

That's because forums occasionally have rips in space-time that allow people in different universes to interact. So it's actually literally true that this batshit crazy person is watching a different show than you.

I don't know about you, but that makes me feel better. You're welcome.



I laughed when Damon got bit. I figured it was going to happen because we don't spend an entire episode on a minor character dying of a wolf bite for any other purpose than illustrate why it's so terrible for a main character. TVD writers aren't the best at following through, but that one was kind of a gimme. So the only question is how he gets out of it (and they may leave it a cliffhanger, which would not surprise me)

So I figured it would happen, so yep, I laughed. Damon, meet Karma. hee. I'm going to enjoy every second you writhe around in pain. Maybe this will teach him a lesson? nah.

Because forcing Elena to turn? She's totally right - he doesn't understand her or love or basic human feelings AT ALL. I mean, good lords he can't even figure it out using himself as a bsis - he spent how many years resenting the hell out of Stefan for completing his transition and not letting him die, and yet he turns around and does it to her? And when he did that, Stefan was a scared, lonely 17 year old. (and how much do I love (not) how the Damon fangirls who were all horrified and appalled that Stefan would do that Damon against his wishes, are now all "but he's just trying to save her because he loves her and doesn't want her to die." I swear, I really do wonder if some of these people live in the real world at all.)

I continually just rant about Damon, don't I? MOVING ON.

I LOVED how Stefan has always known Elena didn't want to turn, because she never brought it up. HE IZ SMART. And he spent that entire hike talking to her, honestly, not hiding the bad stuff, not trying to sugar-coat that YES IT SOMETIMES SUCKS TO BE A VAMPIRE. and she wants to be normal and grow up and do all the things that 17 year olds should.

And also, how heartbreaking to think that if all emotions are heightened - then how much worse is it to know she's taken and she's either going to die and be gone, or die and rise a vampire, a 'life' she doesn't want and was forced on her, exactly as it was forced on him?

MY HEART.

(I do wish they hadn't done the 'close your eyes' part, because I'm not the world's biggest Buffy fan and even I remember that part.)

Also, JENNNAAAAAAAAAA. OMG. NOOOOOOOOO. Just as you start being cool and interesting and doing stuff again! Nooooooooooooooooooooo

And yet, how fiendishly clever of Klaus. I expected him to use Katherine as the backup once Caroline was freed, not make a new one. Actually, I had wondered if he'd take Stefan, in some evil sort of "aw, how touching, let them die together" sort of thing. I still wonder if Stefan will volunteer to swap with Jenna once he realizes it's her, just to keep her alive for Elena.That's the sort of impulsiveness he's prone to (see also diving into an inescapable tomb to save Jeremy). He might not get the chance and Klaus might not accept the trade, but I think he would try, so Elena would have family with her for the rest of her 'unlife', just as he did.

See, now that's the sort of tragedy that would make terrible tv but it'd be a good story. The Salvatores both die, Bonnie takes down Klaus and lives, Katherine either slithers away or tries to rescue Stefan and gets killed, and Elena and Jenna join Caroline as young vampires, and Elijah, realizing he bears some responsibility for this mess becomes their mentor.

oh speaking of Elijah -- if I didn't love him already "You talk a good game, Damon, but the truth is, you don't know anything" would've won me over. BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT. YOU WIN FOREVER, ELIJAH.

Hope there's a lot of Elijah's magical elixir to go around: I figure it's getting used on someone-- Jenna, Elena, or Damon. All three of them be gonna die (or "die"), but the elixir's helping someone, I figure.

Um, and there was Caroline and Tyler and Matt finally figuring out that Caroline's still the same girl.

I kind of wish they'd cut back to Bonnie and Jeremy having passionate, end-of-the world sex in their hidey hole (cuz you know that's what going on while they're stuck in there), but... I guess I'll live. *g*



In other news, I've now seen the last four eps of Doctor Who S.5. I wish BBCA would put all of S.5 on-demand, not just the last four, but at least I've seen them, so now I can work backwards. I must be fannish, since I've been writing Drawer Fic. This is fanfic I can't actually share because it's a crossover with my own original fic, and full of characters no one's heard of. But immortal mash-up, what's not to love, huh? *g*
