Better To Burn Out Than Fade Away. My, My, Hey, Hey.

[redbrunja]

Just in time of the premier, I just dragged myself through the finale couple of episodes of TVD season three.

Which mainly reminded me how much I love Caroline (a.k.a., why I am still watching). Also, what I desperate want to read now is absolutely fucked-up

smut where Caroline thinks she's having 'thank god you're alive!' sex with Tyler... only she's really, really not. Please tell me someone's written that.

The final scene with Jeremy and Ric was actually pretty touching - I had half-forgotten his whole seeing ghosts thing, and I loved his slow realization about what his conversation with Ric actually meant.

The drowning scenes where absolutely unbelievable. Seriously, I haven't seen drowning that unrealistic since Casino Royale.

I'm completely bored with pretty much everything to do with Damon/Elena/Stefan. And I absolutely don't buy that Damon bumped into Elena before she met Stefan and then made her forget. DO. NOT. BUY. IT. (Although I would have enjoyed an episode-long hallucination on that theme from Damon.)



So those are my thoughts. Yours?

I really enjoyed the Ric/Jeremy goodbye. It was a dignified end to the character, way better than his actual death, which was SO AWFUL. I hated the whole way "crazy/evil" Alaric was introduced, and I hated the way it ended.

And I absolutely don't buy that Damon bumped into Elena before she met Stefan and then made her forget. DO. NOT. BUY. IT

That was so gimmicky, I just rolled my eyes. RIGHT, SHOW. SURE. You want me to believe that Damon reacted that way to the woman wearing Katherine's face. You want me to believe that upon realizing she was human, he wouldn't immediately bite her or turn her into his fuck-doll thrall slave. Suuuuuuuure.


The drownings were dramatic, but... my boyfriend and I both thought "Hey, isn't Stefan a vampire? Can't he carry both of them with his super strength? Or go and come back in six seconds with his super speed?"

The Alaric going crazy evil was right around when I stopped watching TVD for about six months. Coincidence? I think not.

I know, right? I mean, if you want to play around with that idea (WHICH YOU SHOULD, BECAUSE IT'S FASCINATING) do a forty-minute fever dream in either Elena or Damon's head about it. That would have been more satisfying and not completely OOC.

You'd think, but no.

I didn't quite understand the point of Klaus going into Tyler. We know he did that in season 2 with human bodies, but is he in Tyler forever? And is Tyler strong like an Original now? Why won't the Klaus storyline JUST STOP ALREADY? Seriously, I didn't even understand why they were all still in that town by the end of season 3. Take your immortality and go conquer Asia or something.

I gave up on trying to understand character motivations someone around the middle of that season.

I couldn't wrap my head over the fact that vampire!Stephan couldn't super-swim back to pick them up. In the time it took for Elena to die, Stephan could have rescued them half a dozen times. :D

The idea of S1-Damon (or just before S1-Damon) meeting Elena and not trying to turn her into his fuck-toy... after he tries that the first (or second) time he meets her on the show (and only Stephan's vervain necklace saved her) is ridiculous but typical of Julie Plec's racist, sexist brain. I half-expected to find out that Stephan lied about rescuing Elena and it was actually Damon that saved her life. LOLOL.

Bonnie is about to turn evil and be killed off finally so Julie Plec can finally have the white-as-snow show that she really wanted all along.

So unbelievable. So boring. That is literally no good reason to have done that.

But then who would fix everything WITH MAGIC?
