TVD 4x06
Pretty short today.
- Caroline! Why would you TELL Klaus about Jeremy??
- Ok, WHY did Jeremy have to kill one of the hybrids Tyler & co were friends with. Are there not a zillion vampires up to no good around Mystic Falls and beyond?
- So, is Shane the big evil April’s dad was referring too? Or that immortal guy he was talking about in the beginning? Hm...
- Different isn’t always bad Elena.
- It really pisses me off that they’re putting all the emphasis on how human!Elena is perfect for Stefan and vampire!Elena is perfect for Damon. I’m sorry, but no, wrong. I won’t disagree that human!Elena is more suited for Stefan and vice versa but not to the degree that the show is indicating. For example, Elena’s trust in Damon and distrust in Stefan is NOT because of the way they approach vampirism/Elena. The trust is rooted in human!Elena relationships - Damon was there for her during some tough crappy times, while Stefan went all ripper and was NOT someone she could trust. Heck, as far back as S1 (Miss Mystic Falls) Damon was there for her while Stefan was not. I’m not saying this is all Stefan’s fault, I know he tries hard to fight his blood “addiction,” or is even all about Stefan, but it really ticks me off that they’re acting like Elena’s only leaning on Damon because she’s “different” and trusts him more as a vampire.
*With the cure on the horizon, and the emphasis that ONLY vampire!Elena is a good match for Damon, it does not give me a good feeling about Damon/Elena’s future. Practically the only reason she broke up with Stefan (or rather, he broke up with her?) is because she wasn’t human anymore (totally implied that she would NOT be breaking up with him if she were human still). Elena, Elena, Elena…some change is a GOOD thing. Sure, a frenzy of emotions and bloodlust is terrible, but being able to defend yourself and just being a stronger person (mentally and physically), a fighter, is NOT a bad thing. Not every bit of change/difference means you’re turning into a horrible monster. I mean, you can grow as a person…sometimes that means you grow out of relationships…if you and Stefan don’t fit together perfectly anymore it’s not necessarily just because you’re now a vampire (it might stem, idk, from those trust issues…like when he tried to drive you off a bridge!).
EDIT: Ok, I was pretty negative - there were some things I was pretty happy with.
- I loved that Damon "took the high road" and told her about Stefan & the cure. I've been pretty happy about Damon's conduct all season actually.
- Even if Stefan/Elena's breakup didn't happen 100% way the way I wanted, it wasn't unexpected, and they DID break up! :-D
