What a prediction! I humbly share kudos. Thanks, Josie.<br /><br />I literally cheered when Elena launched into her speech about accepting who she is now and getting on with it. Long, long overdue. Perhaps we can all now move past the whiny, depressed creature she has been all season.<br /><br />I'm so glad Katherine is back! We need someone to spice things up a bit, and life is never dull whenever she is around.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-69281125150253853062013-02-17T08:09:29.535-05:002013-02-17T08:09:29.535-05:00MUCH better episode!

Hopefully this season is finally changing for the better!<br /><br />It was so intense that although the first thought that popped into my head when Elena met "someone" in the cave was Katherine, by the time she joined up with Jeremy and Bonnie I had completely forgotten about that possibility and truly thought it was Elena! :p<br /><br />I sure hope Jeremy was wearing his ring! Elena's already way too "down", imagine how she'll be if she loses her brother as well!!! :o(<br /><br />LOVE Juliette's description of Silas! And yeah, I hope he's a better villain that The First! :p<br /><br />Now they'll all have to chase after Katherine for the cure so they can kill Silas!

I was especially annoyed by the fact that even though they were in a race against time (before Klaus got free) and each other to find the cure nobody seemed to be in a hurry and and they seemed to have time to walk aimlessly around instead. <br /><br />For a show whose twists and turns used to leave me in breathless awe it now seems to have lost its direction and pace. And I don't know if it's just me or do even the actors, who used to be so great, seem kind of uninspired?<br /><br />Please VD, bring the magic back!!Julianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-51486967101062466942013-02-16T10:50:13.232-05:002013-02-16T10:50:13.232-05:00Would love if they'll just kill off Elena and ...Would love if they'll just kill off Elena and bring in Katherine. :)<br />It would be more fun.PlatinumRosebudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426871129709203669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-87382836160452607942013-02-15T18:28:30.971-05:002013-02-15T18:28:30.971-05:00Ah, I forgot about that being restricted to the Or...Ah, I forgot about that being restricted to the Originals.

Jeremy would certainly fit the bill. He's important enough that his death would have impact, but not so important that the show would suffer from his loss. And at this point the guy has had more deaths than Rory Williams. Isn't it about time that one of them stuck? Killing Elena's family members has become something of an annual tradition after all. <br /><br />Tyler is unlikely to be gone for too long. He does this every season, disappear for several episodes for one reason or another, only to reappear just in time for the season finale. Once Klaus has left for spin-off land I'm sure Tyler will (unfortunately) be back.

I agree though, he's probably human enough again now for it to work.<br /><br />Tyler, on the other hand - did they just write him out? That last scene felt very much like (True Blood spoiler alert) Hoyt's farewell on True Blood. I have to say, I'd be pretty fine with that development (and he can always come back in later seasons if they really want him to). I loved the Klaus/Caroline scenes in this ep, plus anything involving the Aramaic!<br /><br />Thank goodness Elena finally talked about the fact you don't just go back to being the person you were because of a biological change. What's happened has still happened.<br /><br />It was nice to see them use Jeremy's ability to see dead people too. Silas is clearly the First Evil from Buffy, crossed with an Anne Rice ancient vampire, with a hint of The Mummy. Dumb as they all are for letting him loose, he could be kinda fun. But then, the First Evil was by far Buffy's worst villain - maybe tied with Adam - so it could go boringly wrong.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.com
