Alloy Entertainment: Rebekah is back! What’s she going to be like now that she’s undaggered?
Claire Holt: Rebekah is going to come back with a vengeance! She’s going to be angry and looking to take some people down. I think that every time she’s burned, she gets a little more stone cold and she definitely wants to enact revenge on — in particular — Stefan, Elena, and Caroline, who she questions at the high school [in "After School Special"]. It was a really fun episode to shoot. There’s a lot of torture and manipulation going on — it’s going to be a big [episode] for sure!
Alloy Entertainment: What about Klaus? He’s the one who orchestrated Rebekah’s daggering. Will she be making him a prime target as well?
Claire Holt: Rebekah, in this specific episode, is going to focus on retrieving answers from Stefan, Elena and Caroline. She’s going to question them about [the hunter] tattoo, the cure, and definitely Elena’s relationships — and she really wants to find out what they know about it.
Alloy Entertainment: There have been rumors floating around that Rebekah and Stefan might grow closer throughout the season. Does their relationship shift at any point and how so?
Claire Holt: I think that’s a spoiler and I can’t really give away too much. [Laughs.] However, I think that the dynamic between them will definitely change – at least after all the torturing. In ["After School Special"] Rebekah questions Elena and Stefan and this will bring some uncomfortable truths to light.
Alloy Entertainment: We love how casual that mention of torture was. Just another day in the life of Rebekah Mikaelson!
Claire Holt: [laughs] It’s just what Bex does, right? This time around though, her torturing has more of a psychological twist. She has some fun little ‘Truth or Dare’ games planned for them.

- Why the hell would Rebekah be going after Elena and Caroline? They had absolutely nothing to do with being daggered.
ReplyDelete- If (and it's a big IF because it's only speculation) Bex and Stefan are going to become a potential item, that still leaves Julie Plec breaking her promise from over a season ago to get Matt laid... unless April ends up jumping him.
And here is my problem with Becca. "She's back with vengeance" And why is she taking it out on Elena and the Salvatores? It was Klaus who daggered her. Again. Some people may say "Yes but Stefan tricked her" And my answer to that: She of all people should know that Klaus gets his way. She trusted Stefan more (than Klaus), so Klaus told Stefan to lure her. If he haven’t, Klaus would compel him again. Or threaten Elena or Damon. Becca should know how Klaus works. And what had Caroline to do with that? If Becca is pissed, cause Klaus seems to care more for Caroline than Becca, I just say: old news. Klaus never cared for his family. He always cared more for his moonstone, his doppelganger, his hybrids, … Becca already faced the truth that she means shit to him several times, so why is she still surprised?
ReplyDelete"Will she be making him (Klaus) a prime target as well?" Somehow I doubt it. Every time she is mad at him and want's revenge, she ends up on his side again, blaming and torturing others.
I really really hope she changes. First, she deserves to finally have a life of her own. Friends, peace, freedom, … Second, I really hate her like that. Klaus hurts her and she's taking it out on others. So she shouldn't wonder she doesn't have any friends.
I assume she's targeting Elena and Caroline to get to Stefan and Klaus.
ReplyDeleteThey did seem to be laying the foundation for April and Matt.
My point exactly. Instead of taking it out on her brother (who is in reality to blame for everything), she's taking it out on others. I don't get why she's taking it out on Stefan either. True, he tricked her. But it's not like he had any choice, did he? Becca knows Klaus for 1000 years. She knows how he works, how he gets others to do as he says. Compulsion, threats, torture. But, of course, she never
ReplyDeleteconsiders that. To her Stefan is to blame for tricking her, but not Klaus who made him trick her.
That is, why I don't like her much. I know, I know, she's just another victim of her psycho brother. And I feel sorry for her. In 1000 years she never had a life of her own. Probably not even for a day. But if she keeps on returning to Klaus and pushing away other people who, truth be told, made mistakes, but never intended to hurt her, her life can't change.
"I assume she's targeting Elena and Caroline to get to Stefan and Klaus."
ReplyDeleteI suppose that makes sense. After what Klaus did to Carol, I believe that way of thinking must run in the family
"I don't get why she's taking it out on Stefan either. True, he tricked her. But it's not like he had any choice, did he?"
ReplyDeleteI completely get why she's going after Stefan. His reasons for betraying her don't matter. Regardless of what Stefan's excuse is, he offered her a clean slate but she ended up daggered instead. It's a betrayal, pure and simple. Bex's beef with Stefan is not an issue for me at all.
The reasons don't matter to her. But they should. Of course it was betrayal, I'm not denying that. But Stefan was just a tool in Klaus hand. He was forced into doing it. She just doesn't see (doesn't want to see) her brothers part in that betrayal. If she's blaming Stefan, she should at least blame Klaus for the same part (or the bigger part, since Stefan wouldn't betray her on his own). That is why I have my problems with her. She's not following any logic. If a hammer hits you in the head, you don't blame the tool, but the hand swinging it. But you can't expect any logic from originals (or JP). I mean, how many times did Klaus betrayed her or let her down? Did she ever took it out on him? No. When he daggered her the first time, who was she blaming then? Stefan? Since Klaus daggered her to prevent her from leaving with Stefan. Or when she blamed Elena for Klaus obsession with his hybrids (don't forget, that he cared for nothing but keeping her safe)? And of course it's Carolines fault (not Klaus) that he saved Caroline from the council and let his own sister rotting in the cell (did he even tried to safe her?). She's always blaming others for Klaus actions. I know, he is her brother and they should love each other. But how many times he has to prove that he gives a shit about his family. Including his sister, who was loyal to him for 1000 years. There just isn't any logic in it. She shouldn't blame others for what her brother did, if her brother proved (several times) that he gives a shit about her.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about her part in it? If she would have just told Klaus what he wanted to know, none of it would have happened. She knows Klaus for 1000 years. What did she expect from him? To just let it go (knowing how obsessed he is with his doppelganger and his hybrids)? She should have known that he would either trick her or threaten her into telling him one way or another (it's what he always does). After all this time, did she really believed he would treat her different than the others? As I said. No logic.
Besides: Klaus daggered her, not Stefan.
No, the reasons shouldn't matter. That kind of forgiveness and understanding is reserved for people who are considered friends and Stefan (along with the rest of his cohorts) have made it clear that they are absolutely not friends. Furthermore, it doesn't matter that Stefan didn't physically put that dagger in Rebekah himself because he conspired with Klaus to make it happen. He's just as guilty. In fact, he's even more guilty because Stefan is the one who made a deal with Rebekah and then double-crossed her. Additionally, just because Rebekah is going after Stefan now doesn't mean she's not going after Klaus as well. She can't plot against everyone all at once.
ReplyDeleteThe reason should matter. Cause no matter what we do (if we are humans, vampires, wolves) we always do it for a reason. Every action doesn't have only consequences, but also a trigger (a reason). The only reason Becca and Klaus are unable to see any reason in other peoples actions is JPs inability to use some logic on her precious originals. When Katerina killed Caroline, she had a reason. She wanted to deliver a massage, get a spy and have a vampire she can give Klaus for his sacrifice. When Damon snapped Jeremys neck, he had a reason. Katerina hurt him and he snapped. True, there is no excuse for what Damon did, but it was a trigger, or Damon wouldn't have done it. Get my point?
ReplyDeleteYou are just so eager to ignore Klaus part in all of this as she is. Stefan would have never betrayed her if it weren't for Klaus. Neither would Elena.
"For people who are considered friends" And here is my point again, that she can't have friends. Since she always returns to Klaus and he makes it impossible for her to live a life of her own, she can hardly make friends. And if anything happens, she always blames the others, but never considers Klaus part in it. For example. She shouldn't forgive Elena for stabbing her in the back so easily (although I understand Elenas motives). But Stefan is a different story. Klaus made him do it (and she could forgive Stefan), but she doesn't get it. It's just easier for her to blame Stefan, cause she's too afraid to make a stand against her brother. And then that psycho treats her like shit and she's again and again shocked, if he does.
"He conspired with Klaus" Klaus didn't let him much choice did he? If Stefan wouldn't have tricked her willingly, Klaus would have threatened Damon and Elena, maybe even killed Damon.
If Stefan made a deal with Becca and double-crossed her, how many times did Klaus betrayed and double-crossed her? He daggered her twice. And how many times did he kicked her out of the house? How many times did he used her and let her down cause his mindless hybrid slaves were more important to him than his own sister? And he always treated her like shit, like his slave.
I have my doubts that she'll go after Klaus. True, she's pissed. And she will probably say that she will go after him and have her revenge, and she will make plans and swear how much she hates him. But at the end she'll go back to him. Cause she's too stupid and too weak to realize that she's better off without him and that he will betray her again (and for that she will blame others. Again.).
She could be great and have a good life with friends. If she could just break the bond with her psycho brother.
"You are just so eager to ignore Klaus part in all of this as she is."
ReplyDeleteLike hell I am. I don't know what brought you to that conclusion but it's crap.
"Klaus didn't let him much choice did he?"
Bull. There are always choices and we never really saw Stefan argue against the plan, did we? There were no threats and Stefan has made it crystal clear on more than one occasion that he's willing to do anything for Elena. The fact that Klaus is involved doesn't absolve Stefan of his decisions.
"She could be great and have a good life with friends. If she could just break the bond with her psycho brother."
That's the one thing we seem to agree on.
Well, in that case I'm glad I was wrong. But it appears to me that you are on Beccas side on this whole revenge thing. Going after Stefan, Elena and Caroline but not after Klaus, who is to blame for everything. Wait, you are (the reasons shouldn't matter). And, as I said, it makes no sense to me. Elena and Caroline were no part of it and Stefan really didn't have much of a choice. It was really all Klaus. The betrayal, the dagger thru the heart, …
ReplyDeleteOf course there are always choices. Also there are with Klaus. But with him it's the choice to either do what he wants without arguing, or seeing the people you love get killed until you give him what he wants. So Stefan had the choice to either do as Klaus said, or let Klaus kill his friends and his brother. And you know I'm right. Example? Klaus killed Carol cause he couldn't find Tyler. He killed Elenas friends in S2 just to make a point "do as I said, or …"
Just because they didn't show a scene, where Klaus said or threatened Stefan to trick Becca, doesn't mean it didn't happen. You know that there are many scenes, that are cut out, cause the ep would be too long. Besides, after 2 years (1 year in MF time) we know Klaus good enough to just do what he wants and save us all the time for threats and arguing and prevent any more corpses. But you do have a point that Stefan would do everything for Elena. He just never meant to hurt Becca. Guess, Klaus never told him he planned to dagger Becca.
Yeah, she's unable to set herself free from Klaus. She could have leave on her own. Or with Elijah. My guess? She has some sort of Stockholm syndrome.
I'm not on the character's side with her revenge, I'm simply saying that I understand her point of view. Personally, I wish she'd make better, more productive choices for herself instead of choices that only end up further alienating her from the people she actually wants to be friends with but will never let herself admit it.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. But again, she can't be friends with anybody, if she keeps blaming the others for everything and ignores her brothers part in it.
