We had better get some seriously angsty and hot Stefan/Katherine out of all this. WE HAD BETTER. I think their dynamic could be completely fascinating now, because like... he's bad so maybe he'll want her. But like... HE'S NOT THE FINE, UPSTANDING GOODY TWO SHOES SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH. SO LIKE. HOW IS IT GOING TO BE. OMG. I CAN'T. I JUST. IT'S. YES.
No wait, I will say one more thing -- D/E is legitimately pretty flawlessly constructed? Their individual arcs over the season have amounted to them both basically running into death's arms. It's only after being faced with the prospect of immortality that Elena the suicidal martyr realises she wants to live (and it HAD to be Damon who spurred that realisation. it had to be); and only after being confronted with his own mortality does the guy who likes "being the eternal stud" realise that life has meaning, and that he threw it away years ago for an empty dream. (Actually, okay, I've talked myself into liking the flashback subplot better now.) Then there's the symmetry of the perfect, gorgeous, romantic kiss in the S1 finale being FAKE, and this wholly less romantic/aesthetically pleasing kiss being real, bookending Elena's flat statement in the S2 premiere that she'd never kiss him. And okay yeah, I'm going to stop here before I'm tempted to write an essay or something.
Um. Guh. You could write an essay on this. And I would read it with my head in my hands. And show it to every person who gave me crap about liking D/E cos Ian is hot.
+ lol what the fuck is up with the Jeremy storyline. He sees dead people now? Vicki and Anna are actually back? I'd prefer the latter, but I doubt it. And why was that the ~season cliffhanger? rofl. Well, at least Jeremy will be GETTING a story now.
I actually love this - if it plays out how I want it to. I think it has the potential to bring a great mix of serious angst and HUMOUR. OMG. I CAN SEE SO MUCH FUNNY IN IT. ;FDKLGJD;LFKJG.
Jeremy and Alaric were adorbs. AND YES. More bonding between non-bondy twosomes pls.
I basically agree with you on everything, of course.
ESPECIALLY THIS.
+ One thing I'm really not looking forward to seeing bitching about Elena in this episode. I don't think she's being too easy or forgiving, or betraying Stefan, or what have you. Damon's her friend, he's on his deathbed, she's a kind enough person to be kind enough to give him some grace. It's really as simple as that.
