Only When The Lights Were Killed They Sang That Verse

I'll admit, the first half of this episode bored me silly. It was all blah blah Lockwood blah with bonus boring Jeremy. And then! And then TVD was epic and reminded me why I loved this show!

Liz finds out about Damon and Caroline!

Damon was hurt! Because Liz was going to kill him! Everything with him and Liz and Caroline was awesome. And those of you who said that Damon knew Elena and Stefan were faking were dead on the money. 

It's really hard for me to watch Caroline rejecting Liz over and over, so I liked Damon's comment to her about it, even as I'm like "whatever, abusive ex boyfriend." So pleased that he defended Caroline to Liz at the end. Damn it! I just want Damon and Liz to be BFFs and for Liz and Caroline to work through their issues!

On the subject of Caroline... please curb stomp Mason Lockwood every episode.

I'm really pleased with how they're having Stefan do back on the blood. I almost wish he'd just pulled out a bag and drank all low-key, but the scene were Elena feeds him was quite titillating.

I am now more convinced than ever that Katherine in playing a long game. I can't wait to see what it is, although she needs to break the neck of her werewolf lackey. And Tyler. And Jeremy.

Total agreement: this episode was all about Damon and Caroline and Liz for me. I love that Liz's friendship is important to Damon. Elena was exactly right when she insinuated that that showed the best in him. And it breaks my heart that Liz just keeps breaking Caroline's heart. OH CAROLINE. That girl. My love for her grows all the time.

There were a few nice brotherly moments with the boys, too. I'm finding myself just adoring Stefan more all the time this season.

Lockwoods = boring. Except for the Katherine connection, obviously.

I am now more convinced than ever that Katherine in playing a long game.

Agreed. And I hope she has a much better motive than that she lurvs Stefan. Just cause havoc, Katherine! It's what you're good at!

CAROLINE FOR PRESIDENT. How did she become my favorite part of the show? I don't even know!

I'm getting tired of Mason. His ep count has outlasted much more interesting characters like Isobel and Pearl even though he's not even doing anything. GET INTERESTING OR DIE, MASON.

See, I didn't even bother learning using Tyler's name for most of the first season; it was so much easier made so much more sense to just call him Jackass.

Because I am totally one of those people that needs to comment about/talk to characters the entire time. Ahem. ;)

On to the curb stomping! (Also his mom- she BUGS me a lot for some reason...)

I think Caroline ass-whooping Mason was my FAVORITE THING THIS SEASON. I figured she'd be a vampire or dead by the end of season 1, and then eventually I figured she'd be a vampire. That the show has gone through with it and is retaining her character instead of keeping her as the perky/annoying friend bimbo is really winning points with me. For someone who started out such a victim, it's nice to see her owning her pride. It's also tragic that this new confidence and power is coming at the cost of her relationship with her mother. I like the plotline and I want everyone to hug and make up even if I know they won't.

I'm also really glad that she confessed to Elena. I was getting tired of her being used by Katherine just like Damon.


The guy who plays Mason is handsome but he gives me the creeps when he smiles. I guess that means he's doing his job. A bit of me is sad that they can't have other supernatural friends, like a monster club, now that Bonnie quit the group and Anna's dead. They're down a few members. I guess that Tyler's being groomed for that, and I'm okay with him as long as it doesn't detract from Caroline's side plot in the long run.

I don't like how gender-fied the werewolf stuff seems to be, though. They need a hot werewolf aunt to be recruited when Tyler kills someone in a season or two.

On the subject of Caroline... please curb stomp Mason Lockwood every episode.

SO FIERCE. Yes, every episode, let's do this. Although Caroline's comment about how Caroline wasn't her daughter anymore broke my heart a little, Damon's answer was pretty awesome. Heartstrings, played.

Katherine/Mason is interesting, no doubt. Quite refreshing after all the "I love Stefan only Stefan who are these other people?" from last episode.

Oh my god, if they have Damon ~school~ Caroline the way they had Damon ~school~ Elena about what a terrible manipulative person she was for using his creepy stalker forcible obsession against him as her only weapon, I will burninate something. I'm with [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore on incredulity of the fact that they're having him be self-righteous this season. I can literally think of no one in the world who has less right.

*cough* Oh god, I am looking forward to a Lockwood curb stomp. And I, um, am also looking forward to those Stefan/Elena scenes.
