And extremel...Yes, Stefan is acting like an A-hole. And extremely immature. Elena still cared for him after their break up is all, like she cares for all her friends, she has tons of heart. She never expected him to pine over her, she was disappointed in Stefan because he was saying they had never mattered, he was being an ass. Doing something to deliberately hurt her just because HE is hurt. I wish the writers hadn't done that to his character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-47648968818562146662013-01-27T13:51:59.426-05:002013-01-27T13:51:59.426-05:00Elena is not "experimenting" with Damon ...Elena is not "experimenting" with Damon and I honestly don't think she's expecting Stefan to pine for her. He wasn't "moving on" with just anybody. Honestly, the amount of praise Stefan has been getting from fans for his attitude is really disturbing. He's being a complete asshole to Elena and basically said their relationship meant nothing to him just because she's not in love with him anymore. Not to mention he hasn't seemed to consider the fact that she felt like a broken toy when she was with him. All this misogyny is bugging me.

Something...Chris what you said really resonated me. Something is so off about the show now and I'm nowhere nearly as attached as I used to be. Of course I will NEVER stop watching TVD because I never give up on my shows but I'm really disappointed. <br /><br />As Billie said, maybe it is getting too "twisty". And Rosebud, the puppet thing is also quite accurate. I'm just confused! So Thank you Josie for at least helping me organize the teams, motivations etc... in my head!<br /><br />Ultimately, it feels like this should be an epic season, but I'm just not thrilled :(Nadimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432781029841283198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-36630411109873675132013-01-26T11:20:46.295-05:002013-01-26T11:20:46.295-05:00I'm assuming there'll be some big twist wi...I'm assuming there'll be some big twist with the 'cure.' For one thing, wouldn't a cure for immortality mean the person ends up... dead?<br /><br />Maybe as long as you haven't been a vamp long, you can take it, but if you're over 100 years old, no chance, you'll drop dead of old age.<br /><br />I don't want Elena to take it because I like Elena as a vampire, and with Damon rather than Stefan (who's so much more interesting without her). But on the other hand, there doesn't seem to be any other way of getting her unsired (which I assume is why Damon wants to find the cure for her, whereas initially he didn't care about her being a vampire and just wanted to help Stefan). So maybe what I really want is for her to take the cure, sort things out with Damon, drink his blood again (I may have watched too much True Blood) and then get killed again and re-vamp. Which would be weird and kind of pointless, but would end up in the right place!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-24142615082806146572013-01-26T03:17:58.609-05:002013-01-26T03:17:58.609-05:00I'm so relieved you guys were confused! I like...I'm so relieved you guys were confused! I like to think I'm smart enough to follow a CW show, but VD nearly did me in this week. <br /><br />I think part of the reason we're confused is that, as Platinum Rosebud said, everyone is someone's puppet. So no one's actions make perfect sense given what we've known of them before. <br /><br />I hope the Originals spin-off works; it might give the chance to step back and re-set some of the insanity.

I still care about Elena and co but this is getting way too twisty.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73098086602349831052013-01-25T23:59:49.571-05:002013-01-25T23:59:49.571-05:00Just saw it and I loved your review, Josie, becaus...Just saw it and I loved your review, Josie, because tracking what everyone was doing and what their motivations were was sort of nuts; I feel like I lost track awhile ago. Maybe it's getting too twisty? <br /><br />I loved Damon chasing after Jeremy while telling him what he was doing wrong; it was a very Damon thing to do. And Bonnie going whacko on creepy professor was actually sort of fascinating. I usually don't find Bonnie interesting, but her storyline is more, pun intended, compelling this season.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of Rebekah or the Originals (except Elijah, who has been gone forever) but I'm enjoying Elena in love with Damon and Damon trying in his own Damon-y way to be worthy of her. I even liked Stefan telling Elena that this was what he looked like when he wasn't in love with her. Good for him because Elena was just expecting Stefan to pine for her forever.<br /><br />I have no idea where they're going, either. Will they actually find the cure and will they cure Elena? On other shows, possibly. On this show? Not a clue.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1289074203744878342013-01-25T23:15:28.580-05:002013-01-25T23:15:28.580-05:00Oh, boy.

But surely the writers won’t do that to us.</i> I really, really hope you're right, but I have lost faith in the feminist instincts of these writers and producers. In this episode we, once again, had Stefan doing something for Elena's good -- keeping her away from Damon. Seriously?<br /><br />During the course of this episode (and last week's as well), I realized that I am beginning to see these characters the way I see someone with whom I am about to break up. I remember when I loved them, but now I can't really remember why and all they are doing is annoying me. I'm afraid the inevitable is only an episode or two away unless something drastic happens.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-3159106602754132242013-01-25T09:50:50.647-05:002013-01-25T09:50:50.647-05:00Klaus wants the cure for Elena so she can continue...Klaus wants the cure for Elena so she can continue to give him blood to make his hybrids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
