That was pretty good! I especially loved the Damon and Bonnie scenes with them snarking at one another lol. And I wasn't ultimately a big fan of Delena as a couple in seasons 4 and 5, but I did use to enjoy the UST and the build-up to them, so it made me quite nostalgic to flashback to some of those moments like their dance from season 1, I thought that those scenes between Elena and Alaric were very well-done. I don't really see how the season 3 premiere was when Elena first fell in love with Damon though, she was so intensely into finding Stefan at that time. I guess that they really wanted to push the idea that she was in love with them both at the same time, but I just always thought that the moment she fell for Damon was more around the midway point of season 3 when Damon first kissed her? Obviously there was sexual tension between them before then, but she was so into saving Stefan in those early season 3 episodes that I never sensed her struggling massively with denying that she was also in love with Damon, I always thought that came later into season 3 after Stefan's behaviour was driving her away more and more :shrugs:
Ouch at them bringing back the moment when Damon snapped Jeremy's neck! After the premiere I was kind of blah on the idea of Alaric wiping Elena's memories of loving Damon, and it still seems like a ridiculous thing for the other characters to all buy into, but I'm getting a little more interested now on how they plan to portray Delena when Damon returns and finds that Elena only thinks of him now as a monster who killed her brother. That should shake up some dynamics for a few episodes
And after the Stefan scenes were pretty boring in the premiere with how isolated he was from the rest of the cast, it was better to me this week when Enzo and Caroline were brought into that story, even though I'm still not loving Enzo's character tbh. He did have some amusing quips, but quite frankly at times he just feels like too much of a Damon wannabe to me from the writers, and I'm really not sure what Stefan and Damon's relationship has to do with him. "Eternity of misery" indeed. Something about his character, like his whole BFF thing with Damon, feels a little forced to me, almost like you can sense that the writers are trying as hard as they can to create another fan favourite
And I can understand Caroline being upset at Stefan closing himself off from his living friends, but I don't see why Enzo is so appalled at him for giving up on his dead brother. He looked into ways of bringing him back, there was nothing, so what are you expecting him to do exactly, spend the rest of his life refusing to accept that his brother is dead??
I did notice that they're not even attempting to pass Stefan off as 17 years old any more lol, what with him dating an adult woman and her wondering what other work he had before working at the auto repair shop. Er attending high school :P
Disappointingly though it looks like there's going to be less shades of grey than I was hoping for with the storyline of the Fell guy having the vampires frying in the back of his van and grinning away like a psycho. It just seems like a Conner situation all over again, when I was rather hoping for a storyline focusing on him looking more into the cover-up, and being horrified at how the Sheriff is protecting the vampires now. Crazed vampire hunter has all been done before, whereas I thought that the premiere was setting up that the helpless citizens of Mystic Falls, like the girl that Elena ripped into before the Sheriff brought her own daughter in to compel that memory, did need someone looking out for them. But still I'll wait and see how it goes, I do think that overall the season is off to a solid start so far
And I've finished watching season 7 of Supernatural, but I gave up on catching up on seasons 8 and 9 in time, so I jumped straight into 1001.
I really enjoyed it, well the Sam and Dean stories anyway, but the Castiel moments were pretty boring. I like him when he's playing off Sam and Dean, but his storyline this episode just felt really disjointed and an annoying distraction from the focus on Sam trying to find out what happened to Dean. The actors playing angels seem so dull now too, what happened to angels having a real presence about them like Zachariah and Uriel?
The portrayal of Dean as a demon wasn't exactly what I was expecting, he seemed less full-on evil, and more just a more extreme version of himself? The only moments that seemed really dark/not Dean to me were when he insulted the girl he was sleeping with, and of course the obvious in him not going to rescue Sam. It was fun though seeng him singing lol, and I am finding the set-up of him with Crowley pretty intriguing, I'm looking forward to seeing where they plan to go with that relationship. I'm also excited to see how much darker they plan to go with Dean as a demon. But my single fav part of the episode was 'Sammy let me go', it oddly warms my heart that even demon Dean is still calling his brother Sammy'<3
I also enjoyed the pilot for The Flash. I don't really have that much to say about it, but it seemed fun and I liked the characters
And I watched my first episode of American Horror Story, and er that was different *g* Is anyone on my flist following that show?
