Now THAT was epic. I love when they have Stefan going out of control on human blood, that was one of my favourite arcs from season 1. Sooooo excited now for ripper Stefan for next season :bounces: And he sacrificed his humanity out of love for Damon :dies: Actually I was always a little disappointed last season that it was Elena alone that talked Stefan back from suicide after all the flashbacks with Stefan and Damon's turning in that episode, so I hope Damon plays a bigger role this time in saving Stefan from his own ~dark side~

I was happier with Damon/Elena scenes than I have been for a while because it felt like the writers (and well Ian tbh) were trying less hard to make them epic and create these intense eye-popping moments for Damon. It was more sweet than anything else, to me anyway. I also liked him telling Elena "Take all the time you need" and being less selfish with his emotions around her. Here's hoping season 3 has less of emo wanting to be human Damon, and more of him getting his shit together, being a bad-ass, and trying to save Stefan.

And ANNA!!! I love her, so I've got my fingers crossed for some kind of human/ghost (what, it could happen LOL) romance for her and Jeremy next season, and lots of appearances from her and Vicky :D Really I'm just happy that season 3 should finally give Jeremy something to do, and have him confront the loss of Anna hopefully. His storyline this season was pretty much dropped early on just to pair him off with Bonnie which was a real waste. Not that him and Bonnie aren't okay together, but they're also been pretty boring

And I'm glad that Katherine's not dead, and that they paid off her seeming to warm up to Damon this season by finally declaring that she did love both brothers. She also seemed genuinely concerned for Stefan, and I would so love if they used next season to give us the Stefan/Katherine that I was hoping for during the first half of this season. Just as long as they don't bring her back only to have her hanging out trapped in tombs, Klaus's place, and wherever else. That's a waste of her character

And the Caroline scene with her hugging her mother broke my heart. Caroline was so adorable this episode with her love of Gone With The Wind too, "All this waiting around for news is ruining Scarlett for me" *g*

And it look like Alaric might be Elena and Jeremy's new guardian, that final scene with Jeremy was pretty cute. And squee at Damon's fate being what snaps him out of his moping, I hope the show will continue focusing on their friendship for next season

And interview with Julie Plec on it all

Also the CW have picked up Sarah Michelle Gellar's pilot, "Ringer," to series, so it seems that the new network head really is trying to diversify the programing on their network which hopefully means good things for a second season of Nikta :fingers crossed:



And LMAO the anon meme send the Gossip Girl writers info on who the mole is on sssite that has been giving away all the spoilers, and the writers have a tweet making fun of the sssite's riddles:

Let me tell you all right now:
Not only do we know who runs the sssite...
...but we also know what we plan to do with them.
If any of them want to come clean, they know how to find us.
If they come clean, we will spare them.
If they don't, they'll get what's coming to them.
You know you love us. xoxo, Gossip Girl.


Oh and someone from sssite tweeted the writers with

@ggwriters Why are you guys working so late? Shouldn't you be sleeping, you naughty writers?

and they tweeted back

@sendtherain You of all people shouldn't be calling us naughty, Tatiana. ;)



:dying right now: I don't even know why this is so funny to me, it just feels like a real life Gossip Girl plot or something hee

Yeah the sssite site has had stolen scripts for GG all season that they've been releasing through riddles, and then for the last episode the writers all of a sudden started caring about the leaks and asking people for info *g* I think the finale script was actually sold to another website so the sssite weren't all that happy with that either. It's sad when the backstage drama is funnier than the show itself these days :P

And thanks!

Actually, I had the chance to talk to the writers, and I was SHOCKED. Because they knew almost everything I told them. They've obviously been following the ssssite's activities for months. I thought one of the most awesome pieces of info I had was the screener of 4x10, but they already knew all about it. They've been trying to stop it for a long time, but they had no idea HOW things were leaking.

What happened is that the sssite's owner (PLLfan) sold the finale script for $20 to a bunch of people. (The writers were actually one of the people who bought it off of him, trololol.) And the reason the writers started asking for info is because the anon meme was tweeting them that S5 was already leaking. Which they *thought* was impossible, but their mole turned out a little differently than they expected.

I remember on TWoP, when entire episodes were being leaked right from the beginning, people were speculating that do the writers just not care any more. It's now being said that they were possibly gathering intel and waiting to confirm it all, but it still seems pretty lazy to me to wait until the season 5 outlines were being leaked, and even then they were pretty much relying on the fans to bring all the info to them

Which they *thought* was impossible, but their mole turned out a little differently than they expected.

And now I'm REALLY intrigued LOL :is secretly wishing the anon meme's jokes about it being Ed could have any possibility of being true:

The first 10 scripts were stolen all at once in August, before the show even started airing. The script and script summaries for those episodes spread aaaaaall across fandom.

The next four scripts were personally watermarked, i.e. no files were made without a name attached to them. And THAT'S when the scripts stopped leaking and the ssssssite began controlling the release of spoilers.

So IDK. The leak has been ridiculous, but they were trying. They just didn't understand how things were leaking. Until now, hopefully

I was also very pleased with the return of Anna although I don't know what her and Vicki mean, it could be something really bad.

And yes, dark Stefan is much more interesting than "normal" Stefan so it should be a great beginning to Season Three.

I thought it was interesting that just his dead girlfriend's showed up, and not say Jenna or his parents, so I assume that the writers are planning some kind of super-weird love triangle/a way to mess things up for Bonnie as she was warned of consequences in bringing him back. But I also think it could be really interesting if it's used as some kind of plot to drive him insane with them constantly in his ear and no one else can see them. Whatever they choose to do with it, it's got me the most interested in Jeremy that I have been for a while

And yes I do love Stefan, but his character feels really pushed to the background this year in favour of Damon's, and I'm excited for season 3 to give him more than just being Elena's girlfriend and the sensible brother

I saw all that stuff from the GGwriters on twitter and was wondering what that was all about. What is the sssite? I'm clearly way out of GG fandom (since it scares me) I didn't even realize there WAS a leak situation.

Also I cheered when I saw Anna back. ANNA! She was so awesome.

I've got embarrassingly into GG fandom since I've started shipping Dan and Blair *g* The sssite were releasing spoilers really obnoxiously all season through stolen scripts, and it was just bizaree at how everything was leaking until the writers had to ask the fans for help with shutting down the spoilers.

Much love for Anna! I'm still hoping for flashbacks to explain more of her and Pearl and how they ended up being mother and daughter and both vampires

Commenting here bc I love how the icons line up for these two comments so perfectly!

It was more sweet than anything else, to me anyway.

Yeah, I liked it too. I just wish they'd cut the line about how Elena likes Damon just the way he is.

by finally declaring that she did love both brothers.

I know, HUGE moment. Which surprised me, tbh. And yeah, I hope we get some dark!Stefan/Katherine, too. I just hope they don't end up busing Stefan to build up Damon/Elena too much.

They do kiss so prettily! *g*

And yeah it surprised me too because I remember earlier in the season how it confused me in the flashbacks how Katherine almost seemed annoyed by Damon, and was practically stepping over his body to get to Stefan and whisper sweet nothings in his ear. It made the original premise of Katherine wanting to turn both of them really confusing because early season 2 had me wondering why she was even bothering with Damon at all when she seemed so head over heels for Stefan only. I think they needed to give her attraction to Damon more emphasis then, but hey better late than never!

Lol, I figured the writers already knew about the leak. I'm pretty sure that when most stuff in Hollywood leaks it's either because the people behind it are actually doing the leaking or because they just don't care about putting the information out there. Otherwise, it'd be locked up tight and heads would roll.

But the GG spoilers were pretty good. :) And this whole war between the writers and the fans has been pretty amusing.

Hmm yeah it seems like it would have to have been someone possibly on the writing staff if they were releasing season 5 outlines. (Or maybe it was someone on the CW, I don't know who else would have had access to season 5 outlines?) But then the actress playing Lily did mention a while back that they've suddenly got really strict with releasing the scripts and keeping things covered up, so it seems that the writing room in general were attempting to keep a lid on things and not knowing where the leak was coming from

And definitely yes lol

What's the season 5 outline like? I'm pretty much spoiled for the season finale and I really want some Dan/Blair spoilers if any.

I'm actually not sure, all I'm aware of is that people are saying the early season 5 outlines are out there. But I don't think anyone knows much yet of what plans are for Dan and Blair

Yay for SMG.

Did they kill off Elena's aunt? That would seriously piss me off.
I hate the Stefan out of control stuff.
Damon wants to be human? Fuck, not him too. I am SO SICK of vampires wanting to be human. It's the most overused cliche in modern vampire stories and it's a pain in the butt, because it's being vampires that makes them interesting.
Bonnie and Jeremy? Bonnie is annoying. Don't want her with anything but a gravestone.

I think it's a great sign for the CW, but I'm a bit bummed for Sarah that her show ended up a network which isn't isn't going to bring in such great ratings (Also it was originally attached to one of the more prestigious networks, and being on the CW means basically no chance of any awards for it...)

And they did kill Jenna, yes. They didn't really do much with Jenna for most of the season, and then in her last few episodes I was pretty impressed by her acting and emotionally invested in her. But I suppose that, out of the regulars, she is the most expendable other than maybe Matt

And I haven't been a huge fan of the writing of Damon this year, or the eye thing he does becoming a bit too overdone and unsubtle LOL. I'm hoping they're moving on from some of the angsting and self-pity now that his near-death experience will hopefully cause some positive changes with him
