I'd kind of guessed that Isobel had wanted to be turned earlier. I think deep inside Alaric knew that and just didn't want to admit it.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74810110266938514602010-09-25T06:51:09.804-04:002010-09-25T06:51:09.804-04:00Time to gush some more about Vampire Diaries.
I l...Time to gush some more about Vampire Diaries.<br /><br />I love how they used Alarics ring. Whne he was introduced we were made to think that he's a vampire with a sunlight protecting ring. Tehn it was of course subverted and he was revelaed to be a newbie vampire hunter at which point i assumed his ring is like Elenas vervain necklace and i took it for granted. This episode uses it to great effect in the final scenes. That's how you plant a Chekhov's Gun in a show. :)<br /><br />Another thing i like is even though we have cliffhanger endings to episodes not all of them end on one. Like in this ep's case, opting to give us the cliffhanger before a quiet character moment.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68645960693876909132010-07-19T19:36:50.607-04:002010-07-19T19:36:50.607-04:00I just knew Mia what's her name from The L-Wor...I just knew Mia what's her name from The L-Word would turn out to be a vamp, because it would have been a bridge too far if it turned out Damon had killed Elena's bio-mom.<br /><br />The bachelor raffle was just too funny. <br /><br />I still haven't seen the final episodes and now I'm really, really looking forward to them.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41562758952639392562010-07-18T22:26:55.539-04:002010-07-18T22:26:55.539-04:00I think Isobel is doing what Damon did for 145 yea...I think Isobel is doing what Damon did for 145 years - turning off her humanity to cover her pain. In Damon's case, I think he turned his off so not to feel his incredible loneliness. We first see him starting to acknowledge his pain in the first episode. First, he tells Elena that he likes her - she knows how to laugh. And then we see him caressing her in the closing moments. The body count gradually decreases as he regains his humanity. Isobel, the same thing. She deeply regrets asking to be turned, so she turns off her humanity. She uses Cherie and the gay cowboy like toys, abuses Alaric and Elena, kills her best friend and comp-drone and says she doesn't care. But her humanity begins to poke through and she tries to protect Elena from the vamplife and tries to remove Alaric's pain. (Hmmm. Wonder if that will work as well as it did with Jeremy?) She is regaining her humanity. I think this will be a theme in the next season. Katherine seems to be regaining hers as well. Guess we will have to rely on werewolves to be the next season's Big Bad. Well, that's my guess, anyway.puckladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692642544988886765noreply@blogger.com
