Really enjoyed The Vampire Diaries this week
I'm going to miss the Damon and Bonnie show! I also really enjoyed the Stefan and Caroline scenes, and hee Ivy surprised me by making for a pretty fun vampire *g* I wasn't all that excited about her being turned originally, but Caroline having to babysit her really was hilarious
It is a mystery to me though why Elena wants to be a Doctor when we see her not even attempt to follow her medical training, and look surprised when it turns out that the stuff that they've been teaching her can actually have its uses too. If Elena plans to just use her blood as a cure every time, then I don't really see the point of going through years of medical school?
And I am tired of Stefan getting no consideration for the fact that he is mourning his brother, Alaric is compelling away Elena's grief and doing everything possible for her, but it's like Stefan is expected to just suck it up? I really don't get what Alaric and Enzo expected Stefan to do, he followed the leads and they were all dead ends, yet it seemed like he got judged for not caring enough because he couldn't find a way to bring Damon back from the dead?! I'm totally with Caroline on calling Stefan out for not contacting her and for dumping Ivy on her, but I don't care for Alaric and Enzo judging how Stefan handles his grief over losing his brother of 200 years, while they've known Damon for all of a few years in comparison
This episode was really all about the final scene for me though, and yes I cried at that hug. So many feels <3
And what can I say about Doctor Who :D :D :D
Absolutely LOVED it! Even aside from the final reveal (which was AWESOME), I loved all of the creepy body horror of the dead still remaining linked to their body.
The only slight fail for me is that I still don't really buy Danny and Clara's ~epic love story~ that they apparently want me to feel, while I could appreciate Jenny's brilliant performance of Clara failing to come to terms with Danny's death (the scene in the lava was so intense!), I wasn't really that torn-up over Danny being dead just because he's still kind of a blank slate to me that I'm never sure what to make of. And okay is it bad that I sniggered when Danny couldn't convince Clara by thinking of even a single unique thing to them? :P Don't feel bad, Danny, I couldn't either...
Oh and the reveal of the kid that Danny killed seemed a bit random to me, it didn't really go anywhere, so I'm wondering if that's going to come up next week again in some way?
Missy being the Master made the entire episode for me :dances: I was already loving the episode, but that reveal got me into full-on fangirl mode *g* I have read some upset over the subtext only becoming text with a female Master, and I appreciate that it kind of sucks that a kiss only happens when the Master is in a female body, but I would argue that John Simm's Master was equally obsessed with the
Doctor ("I like it when you say my name"), so I didn't feel that stuff like Missy earlier referring to the Doctor as her boyfriend was all *that* dissimilar from their previous subtext with RTD? Anyway, I can't wait to see how their dynamic will play out next week :D
