It's one thing to talk tough when you're not staring straight down the barrel, but when it comes to it, how many people are going to actually make a conscious choice for death? I'm guessing not that many.TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-29682759260407723732016-02-01T14:19:41.395-05:002016-02-01T14:19:41.395-05:00It seemed like a good portion of Cami not wanting ...It seemed like a good portion of Cami not wanting to become a vampire was due to her feeling like she shouldn't. And probably a large part of that was feeling like her uncle wouldn't want her to. After everything surrounding her uncle's death, she probably made up her mind that if she was ever in transition, she would die rather than become a vampire. So that was her mindset from the moment she realized what was happening. And she's stubborn, so she wasn't going to change her mind, especially not when Klaus was trying to force her to change it. But her comment about not believing in the afterlife like her uncle was very telling. She's not exactly like her uncle, maybe her choice about transition can be different. And so when she talks to Vincent, she tries to justify staying for her uncle, but it's really all about her - will she stubbornly follow through with the decision she made before this all happened, or give in to the doubts she's having about that decision? And she gives in.<br /><br />I assume Jackson's grandmother was babysitting Hope. Speaking of, where was she during the funeral?<br /><br />Yeah, the bottom of the ocean storage container doesn't seem to work very well in TV shows, does it? Though this seemed to be more about getting rid of the medallion thing than just getting rid of Tristan. I wonder if it needs someone inside for it to work. Has it never been used before? If they shot Tristan with Jackson's arrow, would it fall off the side of the container and be able to be used again? If so, then it makes perfect sense for Tristan to be kept in continual torment.Katie Hart - Pinterest Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892763965326103296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62218359231748220212016-02-01T09:10:47.185-05:002016-02-01T09:10:47.185-05:00I liked this one, mostly because I like Cami and I...I liked this one, mostly because I like Cami and I didn't want to lose her. I honestly thought Klaus would force her to drink because he was so devastated at the thought of losing her. Maybe he really is evolving. <br /><br />I thought Cami finally decided to do it because it all eventually wore her down -- Klaus begging her to do it, thinking about being the last of her family, all of the things she still wanted to do with her life, the fact that she didn't believe in an afterlife. I liked that she made the decision while she was with Vincent, and he just helped her choose. I'm fond of Vincent. <br /><br />Poor Jackson. <br /><br />Like you said, Laure, I also think the storage container was a mistake. If he ever gets out, there they are with an implacable enemy again. They should have just staked him. Okay, they couldn't cross the threshold, but how about arrows? Jackson's arrows would have been karmic, if they were made out of wood.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
