Hmm Elena being tortured, who doesn’t love that. Seriously missed the originals this episode. Some turn of events and a really cruel Klaroline moment. I’m a little biased with this show as I’ve come to realize so I pretty much like every episode regardless – Shaf#1

Torturing Elena <3. Best part. –Shaf#2

So, back to mystic falls, eegh, can anyone else say that they already miss the originals? Like I felt there was a big hole. However the episode was good, it brought me to the edge of my seat even though it was predictable but still. I miss the Mikealsons </3

I did feel that missing element even thoughhh Klaus, or Silas-Klaus was still in this episode. It just felt… ah, it’s not the same without them.

*sings* Elena’s being tortured, Elena’s being tortured *grinning*. HAHA I know I sound like a heartless bitch but like seriously I was getting sick of her being all “oh – I have no emotions – I’ll try and be bad ass – blah blah blah” so seeing her get burned was painful, yet satisfying. Though as we can see Caroline was trying to come to her rescue (bless her for caring) and that didn’t turn out well.

Lol not painful, just satisfying. I’m not sure why but heartless Elena started to get on my nerves more than Katherine ever did. Dunno why. But these bits were just awesome. I love Caroline <3.

So something different happened this episode, there was Elena and the Salvatore brothers and then there was Matt and Rebekah intertwined, but Caroline was alone for the most part, and that felt weird but I think its coz they are trying to fill the huge gap left behind after The Originals aren’t there anymore. Bonnie came back, woop woop (well not really in terms of plotline, but still).

I wonder what Caroline will do with both Klaus and Tyler gone. Will Tyler come back? Although I’m more for Forewood, I enjoy Klaroline scenes. She and Klaus just have a nice spark. Knowing Caroline, I’m sure she’ll find something to throw herself into but still, poor kid.

So Elena is heartless as per usual and we see that it is really affecting Stefan more than Damon. I can see why, coz like Stefan’s been in that position I guess and maybe because his love for Elena is different. But anyways, they burned her and then they called in the big guns, Katherine. Oh how I’m glad that Katherine is back. But anyways, she’s such a bitch, she tortures Elena but Elena, well she’s got some balls of her own and she strikes a nerve, reminding her that Elijah broke up with her 😥 And then Katherine, in typical Katherine manner, lets her loose.

I think Damon did feel it too but he’s just better at keeping those emotions in check usually. Stefan probably did feel it moree though. I loveddd that they brought Katherine in. Katherine for all her heartlessness can get pretty emotional and usually ends up going to an extreme end. I wish they’d drawn that scene out moreee though. I’m sure Katherine could come up with plenty creative ways to torture Elena. Wow, aren’t we a little too excited about Elena getting hurt? 😛

Elena is cray cray. Matt is super mad that Katherine is “helping” Elena turn her humanity back on (oh yeah he’s back, oh and he’s also failing senior year and apparently Rebekah can speak Latin fluently). So the Salvatores and Matt go to find Elena while Katherine meets up with Bonnie, I think that happened before actually. So anyways, they find Elena in the woods and Matt gets out of his car while Elena gets all full on Vamp and tries to eat matt; well, she does.

Hahahaa I loved that we had a completely normal, mundane human problem for a change. It felt like a relief actually. I really liked the Matt-Rebekah thing this episode, and her offering to help in whichever way possible, it was a nice gesture. Although I’m not for cheating, but still. And Matt. He keeps.. sacrificing himself for Elena. I know Elena had him saved first but he’s kind of paid her back I think. I mean, HE died for herr this episode. But let’s wait for that.

http://ndobrevss.tumblr.com/

And then Elena wakes Matt up and tries to go get at it again when Damon and Stefan intervene. Stefan controlling Elena i.e. good cop and Damon holding up a half conscious Matt i.e. bad cop. They provoke her, forcing her to turn her emotions back on or they’ll kill Matt and then Elena doesn’t listen and the next thing you know Matt’s neck has been snapped and he’s lying on the floor. For a second, I thought he was dead, I was sure of it, because I knew that Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson love to kill of main characters. Well first of all, the so called killing of matt worked, no amount of torture or anything could bring Elena back, but Matt luckily had that all powerful ring on and thus he survived. Yay.

https://www.tumblr.com/notsosirius/49485762000/shes-come-undone-tvd-4×21-youre-bluffing

My jaw dropped too. You think I’d get used to them trying to kill everyone off. But I was like “MATT TOO?!”. But I did realize a moment later that he couldn’t have actually died, because Elena would hate Damon forever and Damon would be sad again forever and oh my god, enough with that. But I was so glad that’s what brought her back, even with all the torture lovin’.

http://hi-paul.tumblr.com/

Elena with her humanity back on, wowz. She was out of control and that was expected. Everything was hitting her all at once and Stefan was there to calm her down while Damon held her. There was this moment while Stefan was holding her and telling her to focus and there was this connection. Ugh im so conflicted about which Salvatore I want her to end up with.

I don’t know eitherr. I still think I prefer Stelena in the long run. Oh I dunnooo. But it was weird wasn’t it, the three of them sort of sandwiched together there, so much stuff between them all.

http://floodofvodkatears.tumblr.com/

So back to Caroline, she’s freaking out during the whole torture time coz of the screaming when Matt lets out (well Rebekah really) the bombshell that he was failing. So Car being her typical self, she left to get flashcards and books to make sure Matt doesn’t fail. Also she’s been trying to get a hold of Bonnie, who is conveniently meeting up with Katherine in a café.

LOL. Caroline. Getting her flashcards. Funny girl :’).

http://carolineforbhes.tumblr.com/

So the whole Bonnie and Katherine trio, Bonnie wants the tombstone that Katherine has. Why? Well because if Bonnie gets that she could open the veil to the other side and give Katherine what she wants. Complete immortality.

That. Is a bad idea. What is Bonnie thinking. She better have something else up her sleeve.

Back to Caroline, so she’s out on her way to the car when suddenly someone’s following her so somehow she ends up in the forest and we see Klaus. Which gets Klaroline shippers hearts to do summersaults! And it’s all sweet when he says “I couldn’t leave without saying goodbye” and I was sure we were gonne have an actual Klaus and Caroline make-out sesh or something, but its Silas -___- eff Silas ruining a perfect moment. So he threatens her coz he can’t find Bonnie and she has to do as he says or he’ll kill her mom.

http://sassmikaelson.tumblr.com/post/49809222587/caroline-not-denying-she-wants-klaus-to-ruffle

I was so shocked. I really thought there was going to be a kiss too. And he was so sweet and she was so touched, even though she said he didn’t owe her any explanations. God, Silas. He’s everywhere. How can anyone be certain of anything?

http://klausandthecookie.tumblr.com/

So on goes this chase and Silas appears in the form of Klaus, Matt, her mother and as his real self for some part, but we don’t really see him -___- But anyways, at Caroline’s house Sheriff Forbes is all okay and safe and then Bonnie comes and we realize that its Silas and that Sheriff Forbes is in the tv room, dying and bleeding. And it’s like NOOO not someone else dying, I wasn’t sure if they were gonna kill her to be honest, I really felt like she was gonna die but then finally she survives. However, Bonnie is forced to leave without helping and leave with Silas…dun dun dun.

If she had died, I don’t know what would have happened to Caroline. I mean, she’s losing so many people. Her two best friends, her boyfriend, the other guy who’s in love with her, and her mother too? No way. So glad she didn’t die just because it would kill Caroline.

http://klausandthecookie.tumblr.com

Back in the Salvatore Mansion, Elena is hurt and in pain, but she’s better ie not crying like a hysteric fool and then she talks about “doing something”, which confuses us and we realize the one emotion that she focused on was revenge, on none other than Katherine, the one and only.

Wait, I thought it was hate she focused on? Which lead to the revenge. Lolol she’s turning into Emily/real Amanda from Revenge. If any of you watch Revenge. She had an Emily moment.

Can’t wait to see how that turns out. Ciao lovers, sorry we’ve been posting super late, internet problems, travelling, finals and life gets in the way. We still love ya and hope you keep coming back

Eek yeah sorry guys. Probably might be the same for the next week but we’ll get back on track after that.

TVD 4.20: The Originals

Posted on May 2, 2013 by talktotheshafs

EEEEK! SO SO SO GOOD. Such a different episode! Team Klaus FTW!<3 – Shaf#1

So different, so… original. No pun intended. So many amazing moments in this episode. –Shaf#2

So first off, though there was a bit of Mystic Falls, I am so glad that we got a break from Elena, like I was tired of this whole Elena is bad, let’s fix Elena, lets make sure she doesn’t kill anyone, etc etc. This whole focus on the originals was perfect.

I agree. I did want to see Elena being tortured though but I don’t mind that that didn’t happen this episode. Hope we get to see some of it next episode though.

So to start off, Katherine is BACK! And Klaus is in New Orleans, particularly Bourban Street on a look out for the witch who is plotting against him. On the way he realizes that there is another Vampire that is controlling all the witches in the town, Marcel.

I love that we’re in New Orleans. And they say New York never sleeps. And Marcel.

Back in Mystic falls, Elena is locked up and Elijah is trying to understand why Klaus has just suddenly left and Rebekah to be honest couldn’t give a shit.

I don’t blame her.

Enter Marcel (I know him from Grey’s Anatomy, the fact that he’s on this now means he’s not on Grey’s anymore and that makes me happy :D). So Klaus and Marcel are friends? Or more like Klaus was his mentor. So I don’t know how I really feel about Marcel. He’s got the whole powerful and “what’s yours is mine” façade but I feel like he isn’t really genuine, he reminds me of Klaus except with Klaus, he doesn’t need backup, he IS the King (I’m so biased though :P).

I liked Marcel because he has an interesting character. Obviously every King needs his court? Would we say court? But with Klaus… Klaus is undefeatable. You can’t really compare it. I think Marcel likes theatrics, which was pretty clear by this episode. But while he may have learned from Klaus, I don’t know if he has the same compassion Klaus can sometimes have. Just by the way Marcel acts, it’s like he’s cold underneath, but underneath all Klaus’s layers there’s something warm.

I really like this setting by the way. It’s so different. I think I was getting sick of Mystic Falls because nothing was happening. But anyways, Hayley (a.k.a. wolf girl), is there too! She’s in search of her parents, which leads to the introduction of Jane-Anne Deveraux and Sophia Devereux (witches).

Love the setting. The witches intrigued me.

So basically, the Deveraux sisters are witches that are plotting against Klaus (or so we think) and they need Hayley, which is confusing because what does Hayley have to do with Klaus?! Anyways she got kidnapped by some magic spell thingy.

That was a little scary. I thought they were gonna sacrifice her or something.

Jane-Anne deveruex gets caught for preforming magic (HOW DOES MARCEL KNOW) and is killed.

HOW DOES HE KNOW?! Does he have spies everywhere? Does he have a raven like Damon used to (whatever did happen to that raven?). I can’t believe he killed her so simply, slashing her throat with a twig? And everyone cheering? Oh, that’s just… *shiver*. I liked her a lot, I was kind of annoyed she was killed off just like that.

Klaus is super mad and he’s wearing lipstick. Marcel tells him that he’ll find out whatever needs to be found out (pfft ya right). So Klaus goes to talk to Sophia who obviously refuses to help him because he’s being trailed by Marcel’s men. Enter Camille (Blonde bartender) and Klaus attacking the men and getting all mad, because it’s Klaus, you don’t just follow Klaus.

Lipstick? Blood? 😛 Anyways, yeah. What was that? I mean who would set such an obvious tail on Klaus. That’s just idiotic.

Then Sophia gets attacked and who saves her? Elijah.

Back to Elijah for a second, the way he says “Katerina” DAYUMM. I’m really liking this whole Klijah thing. Like a lot.

I like it too :(.

Elijah convinces Klaus to listen to Sophia who says that what she needs is for Klaus to help them bring Marcel down, and why would he do that? Enter Hayley. Klaus goes all “sweetheart, we banged coz I was drunk, I’m not in love with you” and bam Sophia says she can tell when a girl is pregnant! WHAAAAT?! Original baby plotline, wowzers. It makes me mad because it crushed Klaroline, yet again. But part of me is so excited!

My jaw literally dropped and stayed that way for at least 5 minutes. WHAT? An Original baby? I didn’t even… I couldn’t even… how… what on earth?! That was such a brilliant loophole. I never would have imagined. But I am so excited for this storyline :D. There’s gonna be a baby on the show? Oh and this was funnay:

Then Klaus is all like “kill her” and we’re like no no and Elijah’s like no we need to make a family and live like a family and be good people. Question, are Elijah and Katherine broken up? Because the way he said bye to her 😥

I couldn’t believe he said kill her. I mean, he couldn’t have really meant it, could he? The thing is, we’ve seen warmth in Klaus. I can’t believe he can’t have compassion for his own child. I want him to be a good father. I’m hoping for it. I just don’t understand anyone who does not love their own children. And Elijah and Katherine… 😦 I feel like they are. He said goodbye. She and Klaus aren’t ever going to live together peacefully. And Nina can’t run back on forth between shows. Yeah…

http://vampdiaries.tumblr.com/

Oh I forgot to mention that when Klaus was mad he went and bit one of Marcel’s guys.

That ENTIRE scene was amazing. That was my favourite scene this episode. Marcel’s “I’m not Prince of the quarter, friend. I’m the KING!” just took me aback. And then when Klaus retaliated, “Who has the power now, friend?”. This entire scene was just so brilliant, I can’t say it enough. Marcel, I think, will be an interesting opponent. If Klaus really wants to be King, he will have to put up a fight and I like that. Marcel is intelligent and cunning and powerful and has allies. People fear him and are in awe of him. Klaus hasn’t really had someone to oppose of that level. So this is why I love Marcel. He’s interesting.

After Klaus’ rampage he went and felt the energy of Bourban street and then he sees an artist painting and Camille (blondie) watching it. There little interaction was beautiful and made me go like awww BUT AGHHH too because she’s gonna come in between Klaroline, which was obvious because Klaus wasn’t going to be in The Originals and have no love interest or anything.

Well… I didn’t really see it like that. Maybe you’re right, maybe she is a new love interest. But I was more enraptured by the moment. The brushstrokes, the evening, the street, the face of the painting, Klaus’s eyes, the way Camille described it all. I thought the moment was more about Klaus than introducing someone new, but we’ll see. I do like Camille’s fearlessness though. Some may call it stupidity, but she’s brave and I like that.

She talked something into Klaus and it touched him, which led to Klaus deciding he was going to take back New Orleans, meaning he was gonna help Sophia get back at Marcel, but in order to do that he would have to get back into Marcel’s good graces, i.e. help the guy that was dying of the werewolf bite. And then Marcel throws Klaus a parade and then one of my favourite scenes, Klaus calls Caroline and tells her that he’s in his favourite place and all he can think about is sharing it with her :’) #KlarolineForever

http://vampdiaries.tumblr.com/

Yep, cannot wait to see this. That Klaroline moment was sweet but kay :P. These power-hungry people do have a weakness for extravagance.

And then we end back in Mystic falls where the Salvatore Brothers and Elena lock themselves up in the dungeoun and see who’s gonna break first. Im excited for that too.

Yes, so excited. How much like Katherine is Elena becoming? About to play mindgames? We’ll see. I want Elena to break and I want her to hurt. Wow I sound evil. But I want that. 🙂

http://vampirediaries101.tumblr.com/

Anyhoo, the pilot for the Originals was great. I kinda really liked it. Though I’m crushed about what implications it has, I loved it nonetheless. Can’t wait till next episode! Ciao lovelies

Brilliant pilot. Perhaps the spin-off won’t be so bad. It will suck though for Mystic Falls but love it all. Later tv lovahs.

TVD 4.19: Pictures Of You

Posted on April 22, 2013 by talktotheshafs

https://www.tumblr.com/niteskies/48328040042

It’s prom night on the vampire diaries and dayum did they all clean up good. But it wasn’t a different outfit Silas was wearing; it was different people –Shaf#2

EEEK we see Jeremy ❤ and its prom, everyone in tuxedos and beautiful dresses :’) – shaf#1

The episode started off in a sombre tone. I felt really sad for Bonnie. Do you realize this is the first time since Jeremy died that someone has actually grieved for him properly? Like we all cried about Jeremy but everyone else has been busy saving Elena who’s busy fighting everyone about trying to save her. Yeah, that’s all worked out really well so far. But then Jeremy pops up and tells Bonnie to wake up and she does with her legs on fire and stuff. Now she’s wreaking havoc in her dreams? Scary.

Yes, I noticed that, I mean everyone literally just grieved for about 1 episode. I liked how they showed Bonnie being affected by his death and going to his grave and it all felt nice and sad but reminded me that I really missed him 😦

Cut to the Salvatore boys playing football in their living room and discussing the woes of dehumanized Elena. I found this really funny cos it’s apparently been over a week and they’re only just getting to this discussion? Or is it the 57th time they’re having it? Cos 57 times makes much more sense, knowing the Salvatores. And football in the living room lol. Making up for lost youthful bonding?

Hahah that part was cute, and funny, and weird like okay lets discuss all our issues over football, seems like a perfect plan.

At the Original house, there’s a little family meeting going on about what’s to be done with the cure. Klaus gets all huffy cos people don’t want to do what he wants and Elijah sets a simple test for Rebekah. I thought this was a pretty good idea. I know Rebekah’s been obsessed with being human for pretty much ever but seeing what it could really be like? Elijah’s always such a smartypants. Love him :’). Elena offers to have Rebekah’s back. The sooner the cure’s down her throat, the better.

http://thevampirediariesfangatic.tumblr.com/post/48431801465

“Klaus gets all huffy” couldn’t have said it better myself, haha he was such an ass to Rebekah but still, I get it, he doesn’t wanna go through pain and as much as I love him he’s kind of a selfish prick. Elijah is such a smarty pants, a typical older brother who knows how to deal with everyone.

Meanwhile, Elena and Rebekah run into Caroline and Bonnie, dress shopping. And then Elena, with her newly-discovered inner bitch, steals Caroline’s dress. Okay, total bitch move, but truthfully, that fuchsia dress looked a lot better on Elena, and Caroline wouldn’t have found herrr perfect dress otherwise.

I knew Elena was gonna steal the dress, but I agree Elena looked SO much better in it!

and this, I just had to:

http://prettylittleklefan.tumblr.com/post/48348007659

THAT scene with Klaus was hilarious. I just love Caroline okay; sensitive, deep, caring Caroline who freaks out over school dances. Alright it is prom, it’s worth a freak-out. But it was funny :’). I swear, I even thought it was Silas impersonating Caroline, trying to distract Klaus or something for some reason. Yeah… . Silas is getting into my head too . Anyways, loved that little Klaus smile, it was just too endearing. And then Caroline. Whoa. She looked like the Queen of the 1920s, her dress, all those sequins and rhinestones. Stun-ning.

https://www.tumblr.com/holdingonmyheart/48356411148/im-sorry-that-youre-having-personal-issues-but

Caroline is definitely one of my faves and moments like that are why I love Klaroline SO SO SO much. Her dress was gorgeous and so fitting for her. It makes me so mad if they leave! And the next episode is called “the originals” and I think its like the pilot of the spinoff and I’m just like aah 2 shows I’m excited but I don’t know if I’ll like the show without the originals 😦

I really do like watching the little Stefan-Caroline moments. If we can’t have Lexi, well, we’ve got this now. Stefan swooping in to stop Caroline from bitchslapping Elena, who really deserved it btw, and then he confesses that his whole “I’m moving on with my life” thing may not be working out as well as he’d hoped. Caroline tells him it’s not that easy, but one day he’ll fall madly in love and realize that he’d moved on without even realizing. That’s true. I mean, not necessarily that he has to fall in love to have moved on but it doesn’t just happen because you declare it. And I’m glad that while everything may be falling apart they have the other to rant to.

http://thevampirediaries.tumblr.com/post/48371794808

Stefan and Caroline are so adorbs together, I love that they are friends :”) Oh we all knew that whole moving on thing was going to be really hard for him, I mean come on they were epic and beautiful and just Stelena ❤

Talking about Stefan and his moving on issues, that Stelena moment this episode… did you feel it? Elena was so cold man, almost colder than Katherine, and that’s saying something. And Stefan, it was like that ice front he was trying so hard to keep was melting, as he himself admitted to. I don’t believe Elena felt absolutely nothing. I think her ice front is just more.. icy. But that line: “What heart?” … cold. Like Canada winters cold.

https://www.tumblr.com/stelenagifs/48554373149

http://christinahendricks.tumblr.com/post/48374027649

Elena was so cold, but I felt like she was putting on a front, the last line was :O but I dunno, I felt like she cared, just a little bit. Stefan melted as he was remembering all those times they had together, he was melting fassst.

https://www.tumblr.com/iansmolderholic/48373754030

Damon got a leetle jealous there. Forehead creased, eyebrows knitted, the whole thing. And he disappears outside with his little bottle. Only to be followed by Stefan subtly mocking him. I swear, I did not realize that was Silas. I was just like “hold up, what’s Stefan doing” and then I was like “shit shit” and then Damon had a stake in his gut. Damn you Silas, messing with my poor brain. I’m having an off day. I’ll be more perceptive next episode.

https://www.tumblr.com/niansomerhalder/48330712967

I totally fell for it and was thinking why is Stefan being such an ass, like whats wrong with him! But then it was Silas and I thought damn him for making me believe the Salvatore brothers are fighting again.

I did, however, realize that Jeremy was not actually Jeremy when he asked Bonnie for a dance. Still, I loved these moments, if only to see Jeremy again, real or not. Bonnie looked like… like someone who was just willing to believe anything because of the desperation grief can bring. Oh don’t you just miss Jeremy though </3. The slideshows outside the party, when the camera focuses on a few images.. I think there’s something in my eye ahem.

So did I, it was pretty obvious 😛 But I loved it nonetheless because I love and miss Jeremy so much 😦

Inside the party, Rebekah’s being the good little human that she’s always wanted to be, not causing any fights and following Matt around like a puppy. He’s still mad at her of course and she begs him for a dance. I thought these were good scenes too. Matt’s a good person. He’s just “beautifully human”. Sure, we were all like “psht Matt go die why are you even here” once upon a time but Matt, we’re sorry, we love you. You’re the sanity in the midst of the chaos. So Rebekah’s just swaying along, and Elena pops by with her plans to kill Bonnie the crazy witch.

https://www.tumblr.com/fyeahoriginalfamily/48499265427

I missed Matt, and had begun to wonder if they had just forgotten about him. He is so “beautifully human” <3. I can’t believe Elena wanted to kill Bonnie, like come on, its just like she doesn’t give a shit and its like agghh care for something.

Except crazy witch Bonnie is a lot more powerful than you thinkkk Elena. Lol. What’s Elena trying to pull, a Damon? Getting all cocky, thinking she can defeat the world. Kay. Rebekah tattles on her but Bonnie can handle her shit so yeah. That scene was another one of those whoa moments. But then LATER! When she almost KILLS Elena. It was like hate and fury and passion to kill burning out of her eyes. And Elena finally cracked. Bonnie storms off in all her witchly angst and – okay, we’ll save that til the end.

I feel like with the way Nina Dobrev acts, you can see her crack, which amazes me.

http://finnickodaries.tumblr.com/post/48326353612

https://www.tumblr.com/jennaye/48327756063

I love that it’s fear that breaks Elena. I have an evil reason.. well, it’s not thaat evil… but here’s why. Not that I hate Elena 2.0 or anything but you know how she’s being a total bitch to everyone? I feel like I’ve used the word bitch a lot today… Oh wells, bringing my inner Suf out (for those of you who know her highness Sufanah Hamza). Yeah so, in return, they can be a bitch to her and “make her life a living hell” and not just be the victims of her abuse. And I love thaaat *sings*. It’ll be so much fun mwahaha. I hope they come up with creative ways to be mean to her.

HAHAH I agree, it’ll be fun to see her be tortured after all this time of her torturing everyone else.

And finally. Quick recap, Elena snaps April’s neck, Rebekah doesn’t want to use her superdooper vamp powers for fear of failing Elijah’s test, Matt appeals to her humanity, she saves April, Klaus appears from the shadows to mock her, having just successfully duped her and Elijah. Silas-Rebekah back at the original house receives the cure from Elijah, and all has just gone to hell. Yay. (P.S. genuine yay, I realized I wanted that to happen. Cos like… um… Jeremy will come back. Yes I might literally want all hell to break loose just for Jeremy. And also, there would be no story otherwise… but that’s just secondary). Bonnie hunts down Silas to a drippy dark little cave. It’s like the inside of a kid with a cold. Ew. And dun. Dun. Dunnnnnnnn. She agrees to help him. And he reveal half his face, swathed in shadows.

SHOULD HAVE SHOWN THE FACE.

So dramatic VD. You should’ve just shown us his face. This isn’t batman you know. Aaaaanyways, awesome episode, it was prom, shit happened. OMGOMGOMG I almost forgot – Tyler came backkkk! I thought he was Silas too btw . So paranoid. But he was only there for 2 minutes . It was sweet though and I really appreciated Klaus’s gesture of letting him leave. Not that I underestimate Klaus but I doubt he will kill Tyler anytime soon.

TVD 4.18: American Gothic

Posted on April 2, 2013 by talktotheshafs

O.M.G. EEEEKKK This episode was so good. Elijah’s back yaya and the bitch is back too along with bitch 2.0 becoming even more ruthless. LOVE.THIS.SHOW. – Shaf#1

ELIJAHHH . You know how much I’ve missed the guy? They just make all my faves leave or die -.- But Elijah was back this week ANDD Katherine and dayum Elena – Shaf#2

So the entire gang well, the Salvatores, are following Elena and Rebekah on their quest to find Katherine. Who they find in this tiny little town.

Elena and Rebekah get to her first and try and figure out where the cure is hidden and they do this by Elena becoming ruthless and kinda torturing Katherine in a way. Which was so different, it was like seeing Katherine in action again, you know? But this time the roles were reversed!

I swearrr how did that happen. This episode was full of.. maybe not unbelievable plot twists but definitely surprising twists in characters. Honestly, the whole trying to ram the cure down Elena’s throat thing is annoying me. Like why? They’ve had their bad moments, the Salvatores. And it’s not like they still don’t have the potential to have more bad moments but no one’s trying to shove a cure down their throats. I think Elena’s right in that sense for telling them to stop but the way she’s been doing it.. well yeah.

Anywho, so she had to pretend to be Katherine to go and meet “Em” who turned out to be Elijah! SO DAMN HAPPY! First off, daayumm he looked hot, he is wow. And then he was actually fooled for a few seconds, and then comes the best part. He’s. hooking. Up. With. Katherine. Talk about major jaw drop! Well not really we knew he was always in love with her.

Still though, it was a bit of an moment. And how sweet he was too, tucking her hair behind her ear. I love Elijah. He’s just the best you know. And he did look goood. Loved the little diner scene too, when the rest of them reacted to who Katherine’s “friend” was.

Anyways, Elena gets kidnapped by Elijah yet again and Stefan goes to her rescue while team Rebekah, Damon and Katherine go and find the cure.

Haha what is with all the awkward threesomes? Well not thaaat kinda threesome but ya know . Elijah kidnapping Elena was kind of funny. It’s not that I underestimate Elijah’s… um, abilities/power/word? But I didn’t think he would hurt Elena. He’s not cruel. He would much rather avoid inflicting pain. Have I mentioned I loved Elijah?

Back in mystic falls, Klaus is in pain from the stabbing of the White oak stake 😥 Poor baby, he looked like he was in so much pain. But anyways he calls the one person he knows will care and in comes Caroline. He’s begging for mercy and then Caroline was a complete bitch, I was shocked in the beginning.

Don’t you worry Klaroline fans, it was just Silas pretending to be Caroline *phew*. Anyways after the Silas-embodied Caroline leaves, in comes real Caroline And in typical manner she’s complaining about prom or some committee she’s on.

Haha I love how Caroline’s so determined to be the typical highschool-er that she was even as her revamped self.. pun intended. Anyways, I really felt for Klaus this episode. I mean, the physical pain of it was making him go crazy, but the way he reacted when real Caroline came in. Ah that was just </3. He really loves her… I may not be as big a Klaroline fan as you Shaf but aw Klaus, I really like the little Klaroline moments this episode. Even the fighting.

And then she helps him and they get into a heated fight about their relationship I guess? Or how Klaus is still going after Tyler and then his pain stops and he realizes that Caroline brought him back :’) and that it was all a mind trick. I feel like they’re building the chemistry but kind of trying to kill the chemistry too because Klaus is going to be on his own show and then they can’t continue it, which sucks because I really like Klaroline 😥 On the otherhand though this leaves room for Tyler to come back but its still like agh

I think they should have something Klaroline before he leaves. Or would that be worse? Because then fans would want to see moreee and it wouldn’t happen. But I feel like they’ve building chemistry so long that there has to be at least one small climactic moment. The smile at the end on Klaus’s face as Caroline left with a little smile herself – that was so unbelievably adorable :’).

Where the hell was Bonnie this episode? Like hasn’t she just unleashed hell coz there is no other side now? And where on Earth is Matt, I demand more Matt.

Huh yeah, I didn’t notice she was missing though . I think this ep was focused on locating the cure. Because that’s the final thing Silas needs as well right? To do his ritual thing. I have come to love season 4 but oh so many things. It’s a little muddled in my brain.

Back in the town, Damon and Rebekah find what they think is the cure and in typical manner, Rebekah takes it as Damon fails to stop her. But because it’s TVD it’s not the actual cure and Rebekah is all sad.

…and 5 seconds later:

http://vampdiaries.tumblr.com/

LOL obv that wasn’t the cure. Oh so dramatic. It was funny. Although Rebekah’s expression was pretty despaired. Damon getting a face burn was funny! I actually laughed . Was that mean of me? Haha.

While that’s going on Elena and Elijah are having a heart to heart and Elena is reminding him that Katherine is a manipulative little bitch who couldn’t love anyone and that he shouldn’t trust her.

Enter Katherine, who snaps Elena’s neck and looks deeply into Elijah’s conflicted eyes, who is now doubting his love for her and whether or not she’s worth it. It also hits him that she’s just using him. It’s sad coz I think I could grow to love Elijah and Katherine as a duo. But then at the end of the episode Katherine gives him the cure and gives him her leverage, thus proving her love for him? What do you think? :’) Imagine Katherine goes to the Originals. But Nina Dobrev can’t play two characters on different shows (n)

I swear, sometimes I forget that Katherine and Elena are played by the same person. I was like but why nottt, and then I was like oh right, it’s just Nina. That neck snap was amazing btw!

http://-mysticfalls.tumblr.com/

But yeah, anyways, I really like the Elijah-Katherine thing. It’s not him questioning his love but hers. Her giving him the cure genuinely surprised me though. I mean, I felt there was some genuineness in her feelings but her sense of self-preservation has always been the stronger one for her. I thought that was a great moment too this episode. I think she really does care about Elijah but I don’t know if this self-sacrificing thing is only a 1-time thing.

Back to Elena, she finally meets the Salvatore brothers and tells them to stop looking for the cure and to leave her be or there will be consequences, to which Damon says no obviously but then she snaps the waitresses head as if it is nothing and says there’s more to come. What the hell happened to her.

I know! THAT shocked me too. I mean first Katherine being somewhat of a sincere person and now Elena doing this?! And that scene was so calm too, the music, the dim diner. And then just.. snap. It was a little scary. Like the expressions on Stefan and Damon’s faces – shock just like me. Why can’t people just have balance? First she’s too compassionate, now she has the potential to become worse than Katherine. I still don’t agree with the Salvatores trying to force her the cure but wow Elena.

Another thing this episode that really hit me was Stefan’s little, “after this I’m leaving, I do not want to repeat history thing”. This can’t be the official end of Stelena, like its just not possible. But what if it is 😥

I don’t know. I don’t want them to go gossip girl on us the way they did Serena and Dan. Although those two did get back together in the end? But whatever. It can’t be the end for Stelena. That line saddened me too but I also think it was a good one. Sometimes even as an audience you can feel that repetitiveness of the character’s actions. I think I really felt that in the beginning of this season, when Damon was talking to ghost Alaric about being stuck here to babysit the kids and fight with his brother. Just the tiredness in his voice and his eyes. So I’m glad they’re trying to break this cycle of resentment and bad feelings between them in general? But I do hope Stelena hasn’t just officially died. I think if Stelena gets back together, maybe after a long time but at one point in the future, they may be lifers. Anyways, we shall see.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL MID-APRIL FOR THE SHOW TO COME BACK!

TVD 4.15: Stand By Me

Posted on February 24, 2013 by talktotheshafs

This episode, it drove me insane. Say waaaah. Like I don’t understand it was so so sad! Yet so brilliant. The acting and everything was brilliant but other than that I think I am just going to go cry in a corner and sob because it just made me so so sad. Why TVD WHY?! –Shaf#1

Too cruel a death, even by TVD’s standards. Probably competing for number 1 on the list of worst TV deaths I’ve ever experienced, with Downton Abbey’s Sybil. Jeremy 😥 -Shaf#2

Heartbreaking and sad. I don’t know how I am going to write about this now that I think about it. So Jeremy. Is. Dead. And Elena has gone kind of pshyco and we all know it! How does a person go through so much heartbreak and live through it! She’s going to have to carry that with her for the rest of her vampire life which is basically forever and ever. I think the best way to talk about this episode is to go character by character because my mind is still such an emotional mess.

I often get annoyed with the excessive “oh poor Elena” but honestly this episode was maybe the first time I really REALLY felt so incredibly sad for her. Brothers and sisters, even the dysfunctional ones, are the people that somehow just stick by you through everything – and even if they don’t, they always come back. And now her last remaining family is gone. I just can’t comprehend it cos I feel like I’ve lost something with her too, and too great a loss it was.

Jeremy Jeremy Jeremy. His still body just lying there was making me so sad. How can this be the end. It all happened so fast that I still can’t process what exactly happened. I JUST WANT TO CRY!

*cries*

Elena Gilbert. Nina Dobrev should deserve a round of applause for her acting. I can’t get over how heartbroken she was. And how she was attempting to have hope but we could see that she was dying inside and that she knew that he wasn’t going to come back. When it finally hit her that it was the end and that he wasn’t coming back I wanted to cry, I was probably crying along with her because sbjhegrbhgabe effin Katherine man! I love her but damn does she know how to make a person hate her! Katherine Pierce, you better sort out your issues because if you don’t I will want you dead!

No, I hate Katherine. I HATE KATHERINE. Screw her. Screw all these broken bad guys.. okay Katherine’s not that broken. I’m just mad at everyone now. Why do people think it’s okay to go around doing bad things and not face consequences? Why do you deserve any redemption? Katherine Pierce, you killed my favourite character, you’re dead to me, I hope they use you for some stupid sacrifice. (I reserve the right to most likely take this statement back because I do love Katherine but at this moment I loathe her for killing my favourite guy but it would be pretty awesome if she had an epic death, jus sayin). WHATEVER. HATE. YOU.

And then when Elena started sobbing and spraying lighter fluid over everything I was really really scared, I didn’t know what was happening because it wasn’t supposed to end like this! They were supposed to bury Jeremy so that she could go to his grave! Why would they need a cover story btw? I mean come on they have the sheriff and the doctor on their side, any cover story they use would work. They didn’t need to burn the place down! I really think that Elena’s going to regret it! Even though there is nothing left for her, its still filled with good memories, sure there are bad ones but the good memories exist too and it sucks that those had to get destroyed. And then Damon has to be told to help her (more on him later) and because of the whole sired mumbojumbo he tells her to turn it off?!?!? AHHH I get why he did it but akbdherbe and then her face, it just changes, there’s just a shift and we see her shutting it off. Like I said before Nina Dobrev deserves an award for her acting I this episode. It was phenomenal. Did you see a bit of Katherine in her? Or a more badass version?! Just her eyes, ufff.

http://tear-of-a-phoenix.tumblr.com/

Nina Dobrev – standing ovation, you are amazing. I do not know how you portray two very different characters flawlessly and are able to meld traits of one into another, but *claps*. I dunno about turning off emotions but I feel like she’s gonna end up burying it all like Stefan and lose control. Let’s see where it takes us. Ah I don’t WANT to talk about Jeremy because I don’t want to accept it. AGH. The last scenes were actually rather scary. Elena really did lose it. I couldn’t even believe how real and painful it was, I could have been standing in that room at a loss with the Salvatores or weeping over Jeremy. It’s like I heard the physical sound of her heart crack and mine too… or maybe it was the smashing glass. The hardest moment to watch in that sequence was when she poured lighter fluid on Jeremy himself. It’s like she couldn’t look at him because that intense pain would have worsened and how could it possibly be any more intensely painful? She poured it on his beautiful artwork and her diary too :(. I cannot believe the Gilbert house is gone. I agree, Stefan’s right. Maybe that house doesn’t feel like home anymore but the memories in it are home and she burnt it all to the ground.

Stefan Salvatore. I liked how he was there the entire episode and how he tried his best to handle her in the best way possible as well as give her the space that she needed to accept exactly what had happened you know?! He gave her the time to accept the issue and that was what she needed. She needed to come to terms with it in her own way. I felt like he was the strong figure this episode? Damon was too but because Stefan was there the entire time it felt like he was the rock.

Stefan was a rock, I agree. I’m glad he handled the situation as well as he did but I think he himself had no idea what to do. It was just all too much.

Damon, ugh I love him for looking for Bonnie, but that should have been Stefan! He should have been there the entire time when Elena needed him. However I do think that Stefan did an amazing job and it was probably best that it was Stefan rather than Damon! And how he hugged Bonnie when she found him. So cute. There is hope! I don’t know if I totally agree with the whole shutting off Elena’s humanity thing because I feel like it will be impossible to get it back and that’s what sucks, and the whole using the sire bond thing is why I hate it, they’re forcing her to do something and that sucks, by shutting it off she isn’t grieving and if she doesn’t grieve she won’t heal, she’ll remain broken…I dunno.

Yeah, I don’t think Damon could have done what Stefan did. Damon needs to do something, he can’t just be there the way Stefan can simply be. He is there for Elena but in a different way. I absolutely loved that he was doing his best to help her somehow and although he should have gone with Elena, he let Stefan, knowing it was better for Elena at this moment, and he did what he could. I do hate that he feels like he’s not good enough though. I loved that hug. They weren’t snapping at each other for the first time. It just felt like a moment of relief and clarity.

The little bro moment when both Stefan and Damon realized how it would suck to lose their brother and no matter what they went through, they still loved each other.

I know. That was one of the best moments. Like I said, brothers and sisters. They drive you crazy but you still love ‘em. Team Salvatore, you make my heart melt.

Caroline. She has grown so much and yet she just continues to be there for everyone and it’s beautiful. I really love how her character has grown and developed into such an independent woman. It sucked that Tyler couldn’t be there to help her go through things BUT even her acting and how she was the entire time.

I love her independence and compassion and clear-headedness. I miss Tyler, not myself this episode, but I missed him for her.

Matt broke my heart so much. The way that he cried and everything. It just broke my heart into a million pieces and I just wanted to cry along with him.

His best friend just died. Matt has become a pretty great person too. It’s not that he’s an active part of all the supernatural disasters, but he’s just.. a better person, a stronger a person, a person you wouldn’t want to lose. He teared up initially but how he held it together the entire episode… for Elena. Cos why should he break down when her brother just died? But.. ah. His tears felt so profound. I never thought I’d say it but Matt ❤ I love you.

Bonnie. Wtf. Speaking crazy shit man! I don’t understand her and I think she is just desperate to get Jeremy back but I think she’s going to end up dead. And even though everyone is against it, she is so going to die. I can see that happening and I JUST DON’T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO DIE. And and and I lost my words, but all I know is that its going to be bad and that sucks!

Bonnie is scaring me. I wanted to see her darker side, but this is not of her own will. Silas. Now Dr. Shane whattt. I wonder when everyone’s going to realize. Bonnie’s been brainwashed and her emotions used against her and I feel just as bad for her as Elena in some ways. She’s got a worse deal at the moment that’s not of her own control. But then Elena’s turned it off now too. Ah so much shtuff.

I can’t write anymore, so please tell me your thoughts about Silas and everyone else because. I . Just. Can’t.

Adios & RIP Jeremy Gilbert, you will forever remain in our hearts.

Jeremy’s dead. The Gilbert house is ash. Elena has no emotions. Bonnie has lost it. TVD, you’re gonna put me in therapy by the time you’re done. Jeremy 😥 I think you probably became my favourite male on TVD and I didn’t fully realize it until now. I can’t even find the words to express how much I will miss you.

TVD 4.13: Into The Wild

Posted on February 9, 2013 by talktotheshafs

DUDE! This episode just got me so confused and made me go jhlsdbhjf and made me happy because we see Caroline & Tyler again! -Shaf#1

Loved the change of pace and change of atmosphere this episode. Loved every moment. -Shaf#2

Okay so this episode starts off with Shane running away from someone on some island and we see him come to the present on another island which is kinda Lost like, which is funny because Ian Somerhalder was on Lost. But anyways, moving on, so the entire gang is on an island in order to search for a cure, and Caroline and Tyler were on baby-sitting duty.

That was such a Lost scene! I was thinking that too. Hahaha imagine they dyed his hair blonde for the episode :P. Naaah, dark hair suits him better. And Tyler, not so much babysitting as enjoying the show. Sucks they couldn’t go on the adventure too. But the Mystic Falls moments were amazing too. Btw, where were these new locations? Gorgeous.

http://-mysticfalls.tumblr.com/

The whole gang btw, is hilarious; the entire mix is so funny if you think about it. We have a mix of exes, one-night standers, possibly evil profs, a vampire killer, backstabber, potentially out-of-control witch and brothers that sorta hate each other. Crazy mix. But all with the same motive, to follow Shane to the cure.

Hahaha I know! I was waiting for someone to throw a bitchslap and get something started. Jokes, but it cracked me up.

Okay so this cure business is kind of explained and we learn more about Shane, which is great because we see motive. Before we weren’t really sure where his head was. The poor guy lost his family, and his wife was a very powerful witch, he completely forgot to mention that part but anyways so his wife and son died and he believes in the mythical legend of the cave….which worked, and he was able to see his wife again AND btw his wife is the one who convinced him to do this! Continuing with the cure Shane mentions that there have to be 3 sets of massacres and if I’m doing my math right I would say that there have only been 2! ONLY 2 meaning one more is going to happen ON THE ISLAND! What on earth. Let’s talk about Jer. Shirtless & all tattooed up. And then he gets stolen and we don’t see him till after which is weird. BUT it is important because the guy that stole him is working for SHANE! Meaning that Shane is evil? Yes? No? Maybe?

IT’S THE HUNTERS! THE HUNTERS MAN! THE LAST SACRIFICE! I didn’t manage to explain it to you before but thinkkk about it! Shane basically tells Damon that there’s still a sacrifice. His previous 2 sacrifices were a group of humans, then a group of hybrids, and the only people he has on the island are an extremely random group of vamps, Original, Hunter and witch. So it doesn’t make sense for it to be them. And thennn at the end of the episode, another Hunter stumbles into the mix. Jeremy, the only Hunter of the group, is the one who’s been kidnapped and lead somewhere, so clearly it’s more than just the tattoos Shane needs. It just seems like the Hunters are the last sacrifice no? To counter my own argument, Shane didn’t know about the other Hunter on the island. And he may have kidnapped Jeremy to follow the map without the others, although that doesn’t make sense because he just revealed that he’s been to the place where Silas is buried, which brings me back to my theory that Jeremy’s tattooed map isn’t what he’s actually for. But do you seeee?! Something’s up with the hunters and I’m scared for Jer </3. Do not want him to die all Jenna like.

Rebekah’s wittiness this episode, aaah so good “You [Damon] have a nice behind”. HAHA she is so funny! And I feel so bad for her you know? The fear that she is always going to get backstabbed, however the fact that she saved Elena was nice, and then she goes like “If you die, it should be epic” and then Elena being the better woman was kinda nice too you know?

Hahaha she was funny. You know what she said at the end of the episode, about how in killing Elena she was only trying to protect her loved ones. How do the others just not get that? They do exactly the same thing! I’m glad she said it, and I’m glad they heard it. Wait.. how was Elena the better person? Well, she did try to keep herself in check.

The threesome was so funny though, Stefan, Rebekah and Elena going into the forest was just so awkward. But it was so funny! Jeremy. Bonnie. So damn cute.

LOL so awkward. And Bonnie, “If there was a less awkward way to do this…” Hahahahaha :’).
