Another great review. I had the same "...Josie,<br /><br />Another great review. I had the same "blood relation" question you mention, but it didn't take me long to remember that her father is Jeremy's Uncle Sark. Which was a relief, because I didn't want to think the writers would have made such a blunder!<br /><br />Major "Supernatural" vibe with the Salvatore brothers in the car. And speaking of "Supernatural": Lauren Cohan!<br /><br />Very satisfying to see Elijah spiked with the weapon he'd improvised for himself--even if the kill didn't take.<br />Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187607644975494747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-14099067299898792072012-10-19T12:25:54.350-04:002012-10-19T12:25:54.350-04:00@ Julia I wondered that too.

Sark's brother is Jeremy's father. So they're still blood related, but not as siblings, more like cousins, so I don't think it was a continuity problem.<br /><br />Also, I loved Lauren Cohan as Rose.

I enjoyed your recap more than watching it play out. <br /><br />This episode felt like a season opener, while the last episode felt like a season finale. I love how the writers are pushing the story along, one episode gives us questions then the next answers them while giving us more questions, and so on. No need for long drawn out plots, I just hope they don't run out of ideas.<br /><br />The whole stake not working can probably be due to him being an Orignal, maybe like the Turok-Han from Buffy. I'm sure we'll find out next episode.Felipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05367104341598394064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-61514583555463834192010-11-05T22:46:21.054-04:002010-11-05T22:46:21.054-04:00You're not alone because I forgot him, too.

And I'm so much in love with VD right now that I'm going to watch this episode again. Loved Bonnie sending the message to Elena; I was sort of expecting flaming letters in the air, but the crumpled paper on the couch was great. Damon and Elena are giving me Spike and Buffy vibes. (Does that mean they'll eventually have a passionate, destructive affair?)<br /><br />I was wondering about Elena and Jeremy and the spell, too; I said to Dan, wait a minute, they're not related. Dan said, Yes, they are. Uncle John is her father, so they're cousins.<br /><br />Giant coat rack. :) It just seems wrong that it didn't kill him. It feels like they're breaking the rules.
