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.

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.
