The Vampire Diaries : F#ck That Show, Seriously ..

   Okay so I have mixed feelings about this one. It was pretty good you know, made me cry and all .. That ending though .. I'm just not sure how I feel about that.

   So, Katherine's not dead, good. I honestly wasn't that worried about her actually dying but you know, let's give credit where credit is due. The thing is, Katherine stole Elena's body in order to survive. So she's alive and looks like herself (also good), but that was really nasty, it's like the bitchiest she's ever been. It' clearly not the worst thing she's ever done, I mean, bitch has killed people. Lots of them. But taking Elena's body is still taking it pretty far, especially after she got forgiveness from almost everyone that mattered. Stefan is the only one that really mattered but still !

   I still personally believe she's redeemable. Actually I don't even care whether or not she's redeemable as long as she's happy about herself ! .. I think my moral compass might be way off..

   So, Damon and Elena, yeah, okay, nothing there.. I'm not even bummed that there wasn't a lot of Delena, I just don't care, it's like, I knew the no-talking-to-each-other-under-any-circumstances was coming, and it came, and I just don't give a shit anymore. This is really sad, I just really really don't care. All the pro-Delena Stefan speeches were nice though. I don't know if it's really what he wants or if he's just being the selfless good brother and whatnot. But I don't care either, it was good, keep it that way.

    Damon and Elena fighting for each other, yeah why not ? Go ahead, don't take your time too much and then we'll talk.

Why hello there.

   I'm not gonna lie I was happy to see Klaus back in TVD, finally ! But I'm sorry, once again, I've missed the point of it. Why the hell did he come back ? What was the point of just being in the area ?! That did not make any sense, I get that the Caroline/Klaus thing needed to happen (so majorly underwhelmed by that btw) so that it could just be done and over with, but it didn't make sense. For like half the episode I was hoping he was there to somehow save Katherine.. for some reason. But no, he just wanted to be around when she died, because apparently, Damon called him. I'm not even gonna dwell on that, I just don't care : this show is getting worse and until it gets better, there's no point in pointing out absolutely everything that's wrong with it.

   Klaus and Caroline, as I've said, it needed to happen. I've never been that much into their story line but it was nice to have that going you know, and I feel like the conclusion to that was quickly taken care of so that we could just move on, and honestly I'm kind of disappointed. But it's still a good thing done and we did need to move onto the next one ! Like I said, mixed feelings all around.

   So, Elijah wasn't really back. My feelings are not mixed on this. This was the worst torture of all, it was so f#cking cruel. Okay, so there's this supposed triangle in the Originals, -actually I don't even know what it is anymore.. it could be a triangle ! Elijah and Hayley have this thing going on, and seriously it's not even interesting, it sure as hell ain't intriguing, it's just bad. Anyway, Elijah seriously could not move his ass over to Mystic Falls to say goodbye to the dying woman he's loved for 5 centuries ??! Really ?! That's just mean. You're playing with my feelings Julie Plec, and I don't like it.

   However, I have a thing for Stefan/Katherine, which was almost nonexistent in this episode. The little we got was actually pretty good but, I mean, that's it ?! She is gonna be hated now, she stole poor little Elena's body, okay, bitchy (we've established that), but would they really rather she died ?! She's fun. I think she's actually the only fun character now (Damon hasn't really been that fun, being a martyr and all, and well, the other fun dude was Klaus). Would they really rather have Elena live at the cost of being stuck forever in a dull, boring, pointless world ? Yeah, okay, right, good call..

   So, yeah, Katherine's a bitch. I really don't know what's gonna happen. Clearly, Elena's not gonna die, but they're gonna have to find a way to save her and all. I really don't know, I hope Katherine doesn't revert back to having absolutely no allies. Every time the Vampire diaries tries to do some big twist, it's always unexpected and essentially good but I feel like what follows can't possibly match up to the expectations. Plus, Katherine did something that's really not that easy to forgive and they have let so much slide already. And now she does that.. I mean Elena is dead, she did kill her.

 

That being said, we know she's not gonna die so theoretically she's okay. But yeah even if she doesn't die, right now she's still dead, so okay, she did kill her but hey, you know, it happens to all of us ! Just go with it

    It was so obvious that she was scheming when she thanked Elena for her forgiveness. I mean seriously, she was on her death bed, after living for 500 years.. On that scale Elena is insignificant really, her forgiveness is clearly not a priority here. And Elena's all like "Yeah you're welcome it's what I do, I'm awesome" well maybe if you weren't so full of yourself you'd still be alive. Think about that when you inevitably come back from the dead.

 

Oh you forgive me ? How nice, really, it's sweet, yeah you too, really 'preciate it *blows kisses*..DIIIIE!

   All in all, i'm disappointed, I don't even feel like talking about it anymore.. Moving on. Oh, and Tyler's back. And Caroline just slept with Klaus. Serves 'em right, both of them, it's gonna be crap for them I'm happy about that. Tyler has lost any and all interest he might have held before when he left and Caroline became a bitch. I'm so freaking loyal to this show seriously.. Award please ??

The Originals : What's The Point, Again ?

  Well, well, well ... So there's this "new" show. It's called the Originals and I have to admit, although I kind of like it, its existence does seem kind of pointless. The pitch is Klaus goes back to New Orleans with his brother and sister to protect his unborn child and start yet another conflict, with an old friend.

  But they soon found out Marcel, the old friend in question, has a dirty little secret, a pretty powerful secret, and at least now, we know just how powerful.

  So Klaus stabbed Elijah and handed him over to Marcel, in like the first 5 minutes of the show, in an effort to gain his trust (Marcel's). His body was stored in Devina's room (Marcel's not-so-secret-anymore weapon) and when he woke up and we got passed all the 'you un-daggered me, yeah I rock you want some blood ?' we actually got a few answers.

  Simultaneously, both Marcel and Sophie Devereaux are telling the story so we have all the pieces of the story. How convenient. So first shocker : an unsuspected relationship. Yep Sophie the witch and Marcel the witch hater (not really but could've fooled me) were together, but not like together together, no, sci-fi show together, a little sex, a little moral support then go home !

  So the whole story is actually really simple. Like 8 months ago, before the ban on the use of magic, the witches were planning on doing a harvest : basically a sacrifice ceremony to get more power. 4 girls were chosen to be (slain) a part of it and Devina was one of them.

Devina's BFF, yeah .. bummer.

  Marcel got word of it through the priest (who happens to be Camille's uncle) and managed to stop it before they killed Devina. He didn't do it for her, he didn't even know her until then but when he saw her, he, like, saw something in her, the most powerful witch in like, uh, the world? Let's settle for city. Yeah wink wink, gotcha. 

  As Devina recounts her story to Elijah, he is moved by her. Well, duh. The girl is Elena. That's the first thing that ticked me off, an innocent girl meant to die as part of a sacrifice in a ritual to gain power, sounds familiar right ? And to make it the exact same story let's have Elijah offer her a deal ! Why, what a good and unheard of idea. So we have Elijah protecting yet another innocent everyone's after. That's not very original but hey what are you gonna do ...

 

  Luckily, and surprisingly actually, Hayley kind of raises the bar. Sure, she's yet another Elena persona but not as whiny, which is refreshing. But she's just as I'll-do-what-I-want-I'm-coming-with-you-blah-blah-blah which is also good. It's like they took the best parts of Elena, threw away the alarmingly huge pile of crap that composes her personality and gave us Hailey. So props for that.

  For some reason Sophie the witch wants to go to where witches were killed the night before even though Klaus said not to. Rebekah decides to join. Field trip. They get there and oh, surprise, surprise there's a problem. One of Marcel's vampires sees them. So now they need to kill him before he goes to Marcel to tell on them.

  They do, and Marcel's too busy stalling them to get Devina out of the city to even notice they're stalling him. And vice versa. But they get him, they kill him, their secret is protected, Elijah's made his little deal with Devina so it's safe on that front too, and Hayley and Rebekah are apparently best buds now. Wow it's almost beautiful how it all just worked out.

  Elijah finally gets back home to his sister and then there's the second thing that ticked me off, even though it was pretty obvious from the first episode that this was coming. The looks they're giving each other, I mean, could you be more obvious ?!

  So we have been blessed with yet another triangle. I don't know that it's a love triangle, because I'm not getting the feeling that Klaus is gonna fall in love with Hayley, but she is carrying his baby and Elijah on the other hand is obviously going to fall for her, so yeah a triangle of some sort.

  See my point ? Another Elena, another deal, another team good/team bad situation and another triangle. I feel like I've seen all this a million times over. We get it the Vampire Dairies is your baby, get over it. If it's gonna be the exact same show at least mix them together, that would be interesting. The way things are, it's bordering on absurdity, it's like everything that happened in the Vampire Diaries, well, never happened. Klaus seems to have a little thing for Camille the human barmaid, and is still warming up to Hayley, but is Caroline still like, the love of his life ? Elijah and Katherine. Completely over ? 'Cause last time we saw the two of them she was freely giving him the cure and confessing her feelings for him, which were obviously reciprocated.

  And are they even aware that while they're happily playing house, Silas the biggest bad of all time, the guy they spent an entire season trying to kill, is roaming the streets of Mystic Falls ? That Katherine has taken the Cure ? And Stefan, Klaus's best bud has lost his memory ? That last one is kind of a stretch, I can understand why he wouldn't care 'cause honestly, who does ? But I'm getting off topic, this is not called The Vampire Diaries, it's called The Originals. Deal with it. I'd like to feel like I'm not watching the exact same story lines over and over again, I already have the actual Vampire Diaries for that.

The Vampire Diaries Finale : The Departed

There was a lot of deaths in this episode. I'll talk about Caroline and Tyler a little later because I think they deserve their own post. But last Thursday we also lost two great characters.

Like I said, Alaric basically died because Elena made the wrong choice. But before he died he had time to do what he wanted, well part of it. Evil Alaric tried to influence baby bro and of course he succeeded because Jeremy Gilbert is so freaking stupid.

So he came running to his stupid (only) friend and they came up with the brilliant idea to tell Alaric where Damon went with Klaus's body (that was part of the whole group's plan) and then kidnap Elena when nobody was there (that was not).

 I don't think I really understood their plan. Why did they send Alaric to the one place he shouldn't ever go ? And why were Stefan and Jeremy just standing in the woods ?This whole thing is beyond me.

All this to say, The Big Bad Klaus is dead. Alaric staked him and he burned. It was a good twist but ... Klaus in his Joseph Morgan form is dead. So long my friend, you'll be missed. Also, as much as I love Tyler and Caroline together I have to say I'm a little disappointed we won't get to see the whole Klaus-Caroline thing evolve and maybe progress with Joseph Morgan. I mean it still could, since Klaus is now in Tyler's body but that might be weird ...

I don't know where was Kol but he wasn't there ... I doubt he's still in Denver, considering Jeremy is not, but he didn't show up when his brother died, so I'm guessing he fled when Alaric went crazy. So there was only Rebekah and Elijah left. And they were sad and they looked like puppies. In a good way.

Back to Alaric. I do not approve of Alaric dying. At all. Even if it made a good scene. I don't care. I didn't want him to die. He did. I'm not happy.

But he came back to say goodbye to Jeremy in ghost form. And that raised yet another question. Is he going to do that in season 4 ? I don't think I want that. I think a clean break might be better than having him around but not really there and only talking to Jeremy whom we have enough of.

Anyway, we had to say goodbye to many great characters last week. It's still too soon to know how this void will feel next season, I trust the writers of the Vampire Diaries. Every time someone dies, it looks like it was the one character they couldn't possibly kill but we've managed without Anna, Jenna, Uncle John and others. I guess we'll have to do without Alaric. 'Till next season. How on earth am I gonna wait ?
