AAAAAAH that was crazy ... one of my favorite ever.
ReplyDeletewhat is going on with CW this couple of weeks.
everything is amazing .
can't wait for more
It was amazing! The best mid season finale in a long time! Loved almos everything in the episode! Hope next year keep it good!
ReplyDeleteit wasn't the season finale
ReplyDeleteWhat was the point of the flashbacks? I feel so bad for Caroline. I hope liv pulls through. This episode could have been better.
ReplyDeleteIt was the mid season finale, the show will be back only in 2015
ReplyDeleteSuch a disappointed episode for a mid-season finale. And why all the christmas episodes in TVD have to be so fucking depressing? ugh. i’m sad for Sheriff forbes and poor Car.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great episode but if they don't get Bonnie out the prison world soon going to write this show off and seriously I'm beginning to think no one going to stop Kai and if they going to make Bonnie be the one to stop Kai I'm all for it and that the reason she still in that prison world
ReplyDeleteThe CW has been on a roll Wil these mid season finales:
ReplyDeleteThe Originals
The Flash
Arrow
The Vampire Diaries
Then we get the midetails season finale of The 100 next... Can't Wait!!!!
This episode went by super fast! Some thoughts:
ReplyDelete-As much as I don't like Kai, knocking out Elena was the best thing he's ever done
- Caroline and Stefan crying at the end almost brought me to tears :(
- the writers are doing an excellent job of making me kinda, almost, maybe like Bonnie
-also kill Enzo please and thank you
I TOLD YOU GUYS LIZ WOULD LIVE!!! THAT IT WAS JUST BAD NEWS!! (Which was terribly sad btw, I totally cried for Caroline) IN YOUR FACE!!! SHANNON-1...FANDOM-0!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that I got that out of my system, let's talk about the episode. TBH, I was somewhat underwhelmed. I felt the episode kept jumping from scene to scene with this whole merge business. So basically Kai just became extremely powerful and everybody got to live??? Really??? I was waiting for a death, (especially Enzo's) I mean I'll give it to him, that was clever. And pretty awesome. (I really do love Kai). And now the curse is lifted from MF!! I'm glad about that, I missed the SBH. And the Damon/Stefan scene was nice. I love how Damon recognized the sound of his car.
I really enjoyed my steroline scenes. Though they were sad, Stefan was there for her, and I was sooo annoyed of the Stelena scenes, I kept thinking, omggg, why are they still talking? Stefan gooo to Caroline, and then he did. I'm glad Elena didn't interrupt them, b/c I would've gotten upset. Omg, Stefan was crying along with her. And seriously can someone tell Damon??? He Lovesss Liz...imagine if he cried, I could see it. To him, Liz is like a female Alaric. Hahaha
Matt better not help Enzo with Shit!! And ugh!! He admitted he was jealous...sooo lame. I was really hoping the writers wouldn't go there with that. Rolls eyes, w/e. Let's get this over with.
Bonnie...where the hell did she find a christmas tree?? Lol I usually don't ask those questions and go with it, but I was looking around the entire street and didn't see one similar tree. So where ever she got it, there was only one tree in existence. I wish she could've sat there and watched it burn. And I'm sorry but am I the only one who finds it weird that she hasn't brought up Jeremy's name just once?? Not even to herself?? I half expected her to say, "I miss you Jeremy." But she said "I miss you guys" while Jeremy said, "I miss you Bonnie." Maybe she's over him? Shrugs, wouldn't cancel it out, could be a possibility. Loved the flashbacks btw. They were sweet. Aww freshman in hs. Lol That was adorable.
Very very lame cliffhanger. I was like, wtf was that?? A cloaking spell?? And the reason is??? Ughhh, seriously why is Enzo still alive??? I'm annoyed. But i just need to mention one extremely important thing...Holy shit!! It mus be Christmas and hell froze over...CAROLINE GAVE DAMON CRED!!!! OMG seize the day!!! They've always had some kind of weird relationship, but for her to stay all those things about him. Hahaha that was great!! I smiled from ear to ear! She just came out with it. Awesome Caroline. How i love you.
Yea, i thought there was going to be something relevant in those. I guess Bonnie was just reminiscing.
ReplyDelete"-As much as I don't like Kai, knocking out Elena was the best thing he's ever done"
ReplyDeleteShe was overdue.
Darn I was hoping they'd kill Enzo.
ReplyDeleteIt really says a lot about this show when cancer is a comparatively humane way to die.
ReplyDelete"The writers are doing an excellent job of making me kinda, almost, maybe like Bonnie." LOL i still don't like her. But i give her her props when it's do.
ReplyDeleteI can say that: this was the best episode in the history of TVD!

which ratings this episode deserves?
i don't think she'll live i'm sorry
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter. She lived today, DURING the finale, NOT dying. Just like I said she would this whole time. So I was right. Going with MY gut, and everyone else was wrong. Lol just like I said they would be. ; )
ReplyDeleteDAMN YOU PSYCHOPATHIC BASTARD!!!!!!!!, damn it Damon and Elena were supposed to get a mistletoe kiss at the end, I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T GIVE THAT TO US!!!! we were supposed to get a least a little happy resolution to the episode and that was supposed to be Damon and Elena finally getting together ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! in the next episode they better be finally together this is getting insane, damn it why are they delaying the inevitable with Liz it'll just make it harder, matt is a complete and total moron
ReplyDeleteLiz having cancer was beyond predictable. I also don't like how this show ignores friendships in favor or romance. Elena is Caroline's best friends - she should have been the one to tell her.
ReplyDeleteI'm into the Kai plot-line though. I'm interested to see what his plan is.
Not sure how I feel about Mystic Falls not having magic anymore. I wish Enzo had at least died before that was reversed.
Seems her death will be delayed and will she die a little later in the season maybe, like Buffy's mother did in season 5 on Buffy, when she found out she had a tumor, but difference is, Liz is on her death bed now, and probaly may die any episode now.
ReplyDeleteEvery fucking time. They are so stupid. DAMN IT! if you got the bad guy FREAKING KILL HIM!
ReplyDeletePoor Caroline tbh. A friend of mine lost her dad recently and she is devastated.
Bonnie remembering was good and touching i thought that something was going to happen tbh.
Sighs* Damon gave the idea to Kay to suck the Magic out of the spell. so Stuck in 1994 is no diferent, right?¿ why couldnt Kay think of that and suck the magic out of there?....
Gre ending cant waiot for the new year.
That's what I've been saying this whole time. But everyone was all "she's gonna die, it's gonna be Liz. They're killing Liz in the finale." And i was the minority, more like one percent. Literally. So again, i'm still right. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it. She's (eventually will be) getting a very human death. Despite how tragic it is the writers are still touching on the HUMAN parts of life, which I find very important. And out of ALL the parents. She's the only one not dying a supernatural death. John, Isobel, Miranda, Grayson (I count them b/c Stefan was there as they were drowning so it was connected to the SPN plus they knew of vamps), Mayor Lockwood, Carol, Bill, Grams, Abby, Rudy, freaking Jenna...I mean c'mon!! In a very twisted way, I find this a BLESSING for Liz....At least she actually has an option to die as humanly as possible! And she has a chance to fight for her life, which is A LOT more than anybody else got. They all got their lives taken away from them. I say, she's not dead yet. We don't know how long she has, so I'm just thankful she survived Christmas, WILL survive the future days to come, and we should all cherish the days she does have left and just enjoy her wonderful scenes with Caroline like we've been doing the last six years.
And she's not on her "death bed" persay she's admitted in the hospital after an episode, just like Joyce was. The only difference is, Joyce hid it a lot longer. (And she suffered memory loss, which Liz hasn't yet). Idt Liz will be dying "any episode now" But I do feel she'll live til New Years, and will die some time this season. But not early in the beginning half of it. That is if they don't do a freaking time jump. I look forward to Liz's "speech" to Caroline, when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteI'm three eps behind but SHE'S STILL NOT OUT?!?!?!?! GAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.
ReplyDeleteEither Enzo or Stefan need to be killed off or move on, as Enzo storyline is quite annoying.
ReplyDeleteWatching the scene where Damon and Alaric got the "drop" on Mala(Kai) I was shouting, "YES, DAMON IS RIGHT.........DAMON IS ALWAYS RIGHT ('Ric killing Kai), but..............not yet! KAI IS THE REASON........THE ONLY REASON (for now) THAT DIAIRES ARE STILL 4 READING!" Who else was "rooting" for Damon's "Knuckle Ball", but.............not yet? Jules, seriously............Bonnie is still trapped in "Purgatory '94".............PANCAKE DIAIRES, PANCAKE DIAIRES, PANCAKE DIARIES.........NOW! Bonnie celebrating Christmas alone was sad, but I was really bummed about Caro's mom. Liz is the sheriff of the "craziest" town on TV and she's still alive after 6 seasons. BorElena getting KO'd was a "Christmas Kai Bonus"! And yes "mutha - truckas".............ENZO LIVES, AH HA HA HA HA HA! 4 THE PANCAKE DIAIRES REUNION, I will remain Nobody!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay so vampire blood can cure someone who is dying and can bring back a person if they drank it and alter their DNA genetics, BUT NOW IT CAN'T cure cancer? Did I miss something in a back episode? How can the writers expect us to buy that baloney? Really? Help me understand, anyone? thank you
ReplyDeleteIt was quite good. I hoped for a more game changing momebts but better to do a semi-fast episode and develop the story right instead of rushing through.
ReplyDeleteComparing to the last year this was tremendous.
Think they want Bonnie to go a bit mad so Damon would take care of her. Eventually I think she will break free from the prison using only her magic. No ascendent.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that you didn't lose your humility lol
ReplyDeleteLOL i guess you were
ReplyDeleteyeah when i saw that she had a tumor i said "they Buffy-ed her"
ReplyDeletebash?
ReplyDeletei guess it can only heal physical injuries like cuts and wounds on the surface
ReplyDeleteAfter 6 seasons....6 freaking seasons (3 years in-universe) and they
ReplyDeletestill haven't learned that when it comes to villains, you should forget
about your gut feeling and listen to Damon Salvatore. Damon was right
about Elijah betraying them back in season 2, he was right about not
trusting Katherine's sudden change of heart in season 5 and Alaric's
gonna learn it the hard way that he was right about killing Kai. -_-
But thank God they don't listen to Damon. Interesting characters get to live. Although it makes MFG's IQ level a bit too under average by (not) doing so but...that's no surprise (Jeremy's sole existence in their group is a factor)
Liked the episode.
Kai FTW! Enzo WTF!
well if they would listen to Damon there would be no show because they would kill them right away and win LOL
ReplyDeleteWhile it was definitely an improvement over last season's mid-season
ReplyDeletefinale,it was still underwhelming.Everything went exactly the same way
anyone would expect-enzo turning the table on that dumb busboy matt(who
even thought he could take down enzo,my foot),jo getting her magic back
persuaded by threat threat against her family by kai,bonnie still
remaining trapped in that purgatory for unforseeable future(now that no
one actually is there,watching bonnie roam around the empty streets is
not a good idea for storyline IMO-can we get her in MF now,enough is
enough),kai going after elena at the end(after all,TVD won't be the same
unless elena is the damsel in distress and suddenly everything becomes
about her-although that cloaking spell trick was a good one).What was
unexpected was that kai lifted the boundary spell and it allowed our
resident vampires to return home.I absolutely loved the defan moment at
the end.I always thought liz is going to bite the dust in this one/by
the end of this season,but the cancer was not what i had in my mind.I
just hope her death is not used to prop up this ridiculous ship
steroline,although i'm almost certain it is exactly what will happen
eventually.Kai is turning out to be a fascinating villain since our fair
share of great villains like kat & klaus,i hope he sticks around
for a bit.I like liz but i don't want her with that jerkwad tyler who
showed exactly why he will win a poll of worst & useless TVD
character ever.While we're at it,can we get shirtless jeremy please,he
has no storyline in this show other than whining anyway!LOL!
Can someone clear up something from me-In some earlier episode someone said kai can only lend magic from someone with magic but it's not permanent.So,how long does exactly it stay?All that traveller magic will disappear at some point from kai,right?
ReplyDeleteThank God that they don't listen. Really. But it doesn't change the fact that they ARE dumb for not listening to him. -_-
ReplyDeleteEither Dries or Plec said that he's like a battery. He absorbs magic and is charged but then he uses up all of it and is left magic-less. Right now he has a lot of magic and he can use it for a way longer time than before but eventually he'll run out of resources again.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the ep:)
ReplyDeleteOk awesome episode. But they should kill Kai withing the next 2-3 episodes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing that up.
ReplyDeleteHe's an abomination, and can suck a person dry of magic, eventually killing them.
ReplyDeleteyou know he's the Big Bad right?
ReplyDeleteNot the most exciting mid-season finale:I liked the moments between Caroline and Stefan, as well as the flashbacks, but the remaining scenes were average:
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad about Liz. I didn't think it was possible for someone to die of natural causes in this show. I really wish they didn't kill her off. Not only was she that one anchor to normalcy, but I hate the fact that they are almost all parentless.
I was hoping that there would be a little more love between the twins and Jo, but I guess not (I didn't like Liv's attitude or Tyler's) However, I was surprised that the twins didn't have a problem with their psychopath brother having so many powers. Jo should have let Damon kill Kai. They really are no match for him, and he's clearly smarter than all of his siblings combined.
I really dislike the Enzo storyline, especially now that it involves Matt. How many times are they going to tease us with the possiblity of Enzo's demise? We already have one obnoxious villain running around, we don't need Enzo. If Plec and Dries like the actor so much, maybe she can make him join the cast of the Originals. Isn't that where all the annoying characters get sent?
I don't dislike Elena, but I'm really not interested in another rescue Elena theme, which I'm sure will take precedence over rescuing Bonnie. And with everything going on, the Elena/Damon mistletoe tease just seemed out of place.
I'm not sure how much longer I can put up with them keeping Bonnie in isolation. She essentially has no storyline (again), until she gets rescued. With Kai gone, she has absolutely no one to interact with. I'm beginning to think that this is just the writer's way of not having to deal with her character, it's clear that they prefer to write for Elena and Caroline but given the positive feedback, regarding Bonnie's storyline, I was hoping that things might change..
my vote goes to Enzo being killed off! my god he's so annoying -.-
ReplyDeleteOkay, so this wonderful episode of TVD managed to achieve the following:
ReplyDeleteMake Liz’s illness about Stefan.
Make Liz’s illness about Elena.
Showing almost the entirety of what should have been Liz and Caroline’s story through the eyes of Stelena instead.
Make Liz’s illness about Stefan being a shitty friend to Caroline.
Make Liz’s illness about whether it’s Stefan or Elena who gets to tell Caroline about her being sick.
Make the news of Liz’s illness about Stefan’s penance for being a douche.
Make Caroline into the damsel in distress without giving her any actual screentime.
Put Caroline’s feelings about her mother DYING on the same level as her unrequited feelings for Stefan.
Retcon TVD mythology for the sake of killing off the show’s only remaining parent.
Make a story line about a parent’s death into a catalyst for a ship.
Somehow manage to STILL relegate Caroline to nothing more than a love interest when this should be her most important story line thus far.
http://hellsbellschime.tumblr.com/post/104981172461/okay-so-this-wonderful-episode-of-tvd-managed-to
sums up everything that was wrong with that episode
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Liz and I hate that we're apparently going to lose her in the end. I agree, somebody should tell Damon asap. He and Liz became friends, then enemies (when she found out the Salvatore brothers were vampires), then friends again. I think HE has a soft spot in his heart for HER and as we know, Damon doesn't like many people. I want him to be able to see and talk to her before...you know. It would be an awesome scene. But so sad! Poor Caro - she and her mom love each other so much.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that they are actually killing off Liz was my biggest issue, Writers always use tragedies as plot devices so that part doesn't surprise me. They also used Stefan's grief over his brother's apparent death as a plot device to create tension between him and Caroline and also as an annoying plot device to trigger the feud between him and Enzo. And sadly, all of the parental deaths have been used as some type of plot device . What bugs me is that the writers did not recognize the value of a character like Liz and thought that she was that dispensable.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember there being a shortage of Caroline scenes. I suppose they could have filmed ten minutes of her crying by herself, or over the bed of her unconscious mom and completely left Elena and Stefan out of the picture, but it would have been strange for her to be grieving alone without her friends. LIz is not dead yet, so I'm hoping we do get some more moments between Caroline and her mom. Regardless of how they approached Liz'' death, I think it's crazy that Dries thinks that giving Caroline this kind of tragedy serves as a good no-romantic storyline for Caroline. If her mother had died at the hands of Kai or Enzo and they used it as a catalyst for Caroline to become involved in destroying Kai, that would have made more sense.
They could do like OUAT and make their Big Bads last only half a season!.
ReplyDeleteI loved the ep. I’m also loving the season!! I think it’s one of the best so far!! I’m really looking forward to Damon and Bonnie reuniting! I really hope the writers deliver on a potentially awesome moment. I really, really like them as friends. Matt and Jeremy are such a waste of screen time right now, it’s not even funny…I’ve never cared about Matt, but Jeremy’s hunting skills could be put to much better use…. I also could care less about Tyler and the twins. Merge, don’t merge, I don’t care,…bring back Bonnie!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don’t really see the point of Enzo yet but I’m sure there will be….him falling for Sara would be an interesting twist….he’s kinda a crazy, a$$hole-ish, ruthless killer but I will say this about him….when he likes someone, he is quite loyal. If he fell for Sara she would have a constant protector in him.
I’m not completely sold on a relationship between Caroline and Stephan, i still like her with Klaus. But, I am open to letting the writers try to win me over….
I did enjoy the tension between Damon and Alaric, clearly Damon feels bad and actually sad “I’m sorry”….that may have been his first time…ever! lol Ian has great chemistry with all the cast IMO, so I also enjoyed the Damon and Kai interaction and I loved the brother moment over the car!! <3
And last but not least my favourite part of the show…Damon and Elena (Even tho Elena is one of my least fav characters). Not much between them this time, but I liked that when she wanted to talk to someone, she called him. And when she went to him and saw the mistletoe she clearly wanted to kiss him. Sadly I will have to wait for that….. :(
yeah i don't like these midseason finale cliffhangers. Between The Flash with Dr. Wells, Supernatural with Dean losing it again, and this with Kai/Elena.....it needs to be january again!
ReplyDeleteyeah i guess but this show doesn't split seasons
ReplyDeleteI agree, Damon needs to be told. And I heard that there will be a flashback of Caroline in her younger years, so I got to thinking….. With Liz dying, being Damon’s friend, maybe he will use his special abilities (like he did with Rose) and give Liz the illusion of a better, happier time for her in her last moments. That could be the flashback maybe? Just guessing. I think that would be cool….and very nice of Damon.
ReplyDeletetrue
ReplyDeleteWell said and I 100% agree!! Damon’s plans often fail to succeed but he sure does have a spidey sense on who can't be trusted and who needs to be killed. lol …"Shadypants" still makes me chuckle….lol But, thankfully the MF minions don’t listen, otherwise life in MF would be dull. And Kai is the best bad guy to hit TVD since Klaus (although I do feel Klaus outstayed his welcome).
ReplyDeleteFor now. Look at the series so far. First it was Klaus, then it was the "Stefan" original and now this guy.
ReplyDeleteI bet she dies, I'd be more shocked if she survives this, which is very doubtful. Still at least she gets to die by natural causes, which is rare on this show.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to her speech to Caroline too, I also would love her and Damon to get scenes, and finally for Caroline and Damon to bond somehow. I wonder if Liz will request a new sherif for the town, I'd love to see someone carry on in her footsteps.
ReplyDeleteLiz could only come back as a vampire if she dies with vampire blood in her..
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean the Mystic Falls spell will return? The witches he drains eventually regain their power.
ReplyDeleteI hate him. Stephen should have killed him when Enzo killed his girl. Matt should have killed when he had his chance.
ReplyDeleteStake to the heart, that's all it takes!!
ReplyDelete"Nah let's give him fighting chance"
Ugh.. Every time!
Not the best mid-season episode but it was ok.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that the supernatural is back in Mystic Falls. That town was getting boring although I don't think Matt is going to be very happy. I think he's going to be the next Tripp and this episode is the proof of that...If Enzo doesn't kill him first. Btw,the reasons that Enzo gives to explain why he hates Stefan so much are weak and don't make any sense. I think writers don't know what to do with him.
I didn't expect the reason why Liz is going to die.It's the first time that a character dies because of something that is not supernatural.I felt sorry for Caroline. she doesn't deserve that.
I loved the flashbacks. They were pretty sweet and it shows how Elena, Bonnie and Caroline's lives were before the vampires came to Mystic Falls. Speaking of Bonnie, she should come back to the town, I feel sorry for her and writers are extending that storyline too much.
About the final cliffhanger,I think every villain in the show has kidnapped Elena. It's so repetitive...Plus,Elena is the the most
useless vampire of the world.
And I loved Stefan's present to Damon. Every Defan moment is a great for me!
Am I the only one that is in love with Kai's character? He's funny, yet SO EVIL! I love it! He's the best villain they've introduced since Klaus.
ReplyDeleteLiz's cancer is a part of her. Vampire blood could even make it worse by healing the tumour.
ReplyDeleteTo quote Damon, 'KILL HIM."
ReplyDeleteTO has elijah and Rebekah-they are the opposite defintion of annoying.
ReplyDeleteIt still makes no sense.. .someone's organs can be ripped in shreds but vampire blood can revive them? and NOW it cannot destroy cancer....I guess they can make her a vampire, if she drinks the blood and then kill her...I am thinking that she doesn't want to be turned.....and the episode entitled "Stay" could be about Caroline trying to convince her mom to be turned into a vampire....thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI definitely think we'll have Damon/Liz scenes. There's no doubt about that. I personally felt Damon and Caroline always had a bond. They were never full on enemies despite Caroline's "hatred" for him, they did get along or save each other every now and then. And I always thanked Damon for pushing Liz to see Caroline as her daughter and not as a monster. If it wasn't for him we would've never gotten these great scenes with Caroline and Liz. I think Liz's death will bring them closer. Now I'm not saying they're going to sit down and start drinking bourbon together, (never that), but they'll have a few nice moments. Umm, no hugging though, I don't see that in the cards. Lol
ReplyDeleteDamon's always had a soft spot for Liz, and her for him. She thinks of Damon as her closest friend, I think she's even said that once before. They'll have a beautiful scene together, and I KNOW Damon will cry right in front of her. I do wonder if he'll give her a nice dream as she passes on. Omg. Just thinking about that, I may just start crying. I forgot it was Elena's doing to tell Damon about Liz, but Kai had to come along and screw it all up. Smh
ReplyDeleteOf course not. = )
ReplyDeleteThat'd be a rehash of her Father's turning.
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense that it doesn't work on cancer as cancer is your own cells going out of control, multiplying. Vampire Blood can cure injuries, but it won't remove something like cancer, it would more likely make it worse as it'd heal the cancer cells as well as the normal ones.
Heroes had a similar storyline with Hiro and Cancer, and made it clear he needed a healer as Clair's blood couldn't heal him
Julie re-tweeted a thread where someone said-enzo shouldn't die.She is in love with the guy just like ian and JoMo!He's golden,sorry!
ReplyDeleteFunny,, If we all love to hate Kai,, that miens he is not long for the show. That really is too bad. I enjoy his crazy character very much,, But,, NO-ONE,, out shines the SOD's chosen "Golden Boy",, Damon.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad really,, I wish they would change there idea of killing off some great characters..
Enzo's character is beyond annoying,, and Stefan??? He Seems to have given up on participation. The last semi-interesting thing he did (imo) was shoot (cross Bow) Enzo in front of Cap. Trip/Fell. I don't get what is going on with his character. I wonder if they are setting him up for a melt down? hmm have to wait and see.
Elena's character is making me nauseous. The only thing missing is her tongue dragging on the floor behind Damon. I guess Kai has plans for her. I hope he wins.:))
That's a relief I was afraid that you might gloat or something hahahaha
ReplyDeleteSide note: I haven't seen the episode yet and I didn't read the whole comment so I don't exactly know what you said and how you were right, but I couldn't resist teasing you :P
Hi Joy,,(IMO) Yes he will need to replenish,, depending on how much he uses at a given time. The Travelers were more powerful when together,, so what he has absorbed is the left overs or "Resins" of magic they left behind. He still needs Liv to merge with Luke,, so he merge with Joe. He can then be stronger b/c he is older, and can absorb Liv's Magic. Remember he wants to be the "Elder" & in charge of the Coven. BUT,, He will have to absorb the Covens magic to stay in charge. Pretty wild huh?? His Father has to figure in here somewhere also. So does Tyler and his Wolf Gene.
ReplyDeleteDid I help? or make it worse. lololol
haha!Nope,this week there was no confusion unlike last couple of episodes.I am pretty sure tyler will activate his werewolf curse while saving liv-a fitting irony since she saved him from activating it in the 1st place by episode 15-16.Bonnie will be the one to take down kai once and for all.You don't stab bonnie twice and get away with it!
ReplyDeleteYes,, Kai knows this,, he will return at the right time and re-drain them. There is a never ending source for him with that. That is why he drained Bonnie by the Tree one last time before he left. He is super strong & I think it's kind of cool the way his character was created. The young man they chose for his part,, is playing it perfectly. So that miens he will have to be killed off soon,, even though I hope they/gang doesn't. That is Bonnie's privileged to have. They should keep him alive,, but send him back where he was. There is no-further magic to be had there for him to find.
ReplyDeleteAll of this is just imo.:)
I just replied something similar to Mister J81. hahaha Bonnie's Privalage indeed.!!
ReplyDeleteNo you're definitely not! I am totally intrigued by him, I want him to stick around a long time :D
ReplyDeleteSo true,that girl has suffered so much sometimes i want to send the entire TVD writer's team to that 1994 purgatory myself to give them a taste of their own medicine!
ReplyDeletePANCAKE Diaries Twin???? You crack me up.:)))) So Enzo lives to irritate us another day, and spouts dribble about Stefan,, yada,yada,yada,,. We will out live him.:))))
ReplyDeleteI think he has signed on for the entire 6th season. So,, there may be a change in his character somewhere,, I /we hope.:). WTPA4E
Chris wood,he played carrie's BF for a while in The Carrie diaries!!
ReplyDeleteHe is a series regular,he was promoted from guest star.He will fall in love with the real sarah salvatore and last night michael malarkey confirmed in facebook that we will get to see his past.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy, I'll remember that,:) He is quite talented. I didn't watch C.D. , but,, he is doing a great job here.
ReplyDeleteBest moment of the episode-Elena getting smaked right in the face by kai with a flat-iron!
ReplyDeleteYa,last season markos was beyond dame.Everytime he appeared on-screen,i kinda dozed off!
ReplyDeleteTerrific,, b/c when Enzo's character was first introduced,, I actually felt for the guy. He was more of a human style Vampire then Elijah,, at that time.
ReplyDeleteNow,, not so much. They have his character behaving like a whinny cry baby. After everything he has been through,, too have him behave like this,, is beyond my comprehension of his character. On the flip-side,,He does have a sexy voice and he is not hard on the eyes, either. Except for the hair dye and earring,, not appealing.:)
P.S. a possible romance 4 S.S. and Enzo,, crossed my mind too. lol
So did more then 1/2 of what was left of the viewing audiance.lol TVD Nap Time. lolol
ReplyDeleteArturo and the E.W. Gang would like to crash S7 Comic Com if your interested. lolol Ember is in charge.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I know,, Awesome,, wasn't it???? Kai holds nothing back. Male or Female,, everyone is treated to the same abuse. Great scene. YES!!:) My Elena hate is showing. Can you tell? lolol
ReplyDeleteSmh. Go watch the episode.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am
ReplyDeleteI'll be waiting for your review.
ReplyDeleteI feel for the guy coz he was imprisoned and brutally tortured for over 70 years for experimention!Anyone would go nuts by now!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I just hope kai wouldn't try to flirt with elena for his own agenda!I am so tired to see all the guys bending over backwards for this whiny weakass character!
ReplyDeleteOK I just finished it. Which part were you right about?
ReplyDeleteThat's somewhat debateable. I was mainly thinking of Klaus and Hayley, though.
ReplyDeleteIt's still possible. She's not dead yet.
ReplyDeleteYeah I teared on that scene only. I was right about Liz Not dying. Everyone thought she would. (They thought she would die or mostly get killed by Kai) And I said it wasn't true, that she would live. It was speculation on WHY Caroline was crying in the promo. Ya know what Stefan would tell her. I said it was either bad news or Tyler dying (which would make the most sense if not about Liz) but that Liz would not die/be killed this episode.
ReplyDeleteyou're kidding me? he was on that show wow never would've expected that
ReplyDeletebut isn't better to just have one Big Bad per season, you don't want another Spider Man 3 (the Maguire movies not Andrew's)
ReplyDeleteWhen he got cast for kai,he tweeted this one-Apparently i like "Diaries".LOL!
ReplyDeleteYeah i got that point later last night.
ReplyDeleteOH I see, bravo then :D and giving the recent spoilers about Caroline finding new uses for vamp blood I think it will cure Liz which is good because I don't want that to happen to Caroline. The episode was good. I felt really bad for Bonnie and Jeremy, loved the Steroline scenes even though they broke my heart and I was already destroyed :( not sure yet how I feel about the whole Kai/Joe stuff, I can't stand Kai and I didn't think that Joe could really overpower him even before he sucked all that power, so I'm not optimistic now, I feel like he's sticking around for a long time which is a shame because I like Ric and Joe. I like Liv sometimes and sometimes I just want to slap her lol and the same with Luke although I tolerate him more than her.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone likes Luke more than Liv, so no surprise there. lol. and it's JO! No E. (sorry it was driving me crazy you did it three times) I didn't hear any spoilers about that. But it sounds like a rumor to me. She can look for vamp blood all she wants but it won't cure the cancer. (unfortunately). You felt bad for Bonnie and Jeremy as a WHOLE?? Why? she's done with him. lol I love Kai, he's the best thing that could've happen to this show. I really don't see him going anywhere. He could stick around til episode 16, orrr he could be the villian for the entire season. Ohh so you ship Jolaric? I see.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha "Live" hahahaha that's funny. Ugh, JP, is pissing me off. She needs to take that tweet and shove it. lol
ReplyDeleteWhy are you making Jeremy out to sound like a stalker that won't take the hint? LOL "She may be done with him but he's not done with her." Muahahahaha. LMAO!!! Kai's dialogue is awesome. LOL I love when he talks. He's sarcasm is hilarious. You didn't ship who again? hahaha
Using Liz' s cancer to force Steroline is really bad, even for TVD writers. Stefan has no feeelings for her.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean that at all!! Is that really what it sounded like? I just meant that Jeremy is having a difficult time letting her go which is totally understandable and just when he was starting to move on they dangled hope in front of him again just to crush him AGAIN! Poor guy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't ship "JO" and Ric lol but since we are on the subject of correcting people's typos, "He's sarcasm is hilarious" it's HIS :P hahahaha
I was being sarcastic. (but it did a little). Sorry, i can't feel bad for Jeremy on this one. His whole whining is just annoying. He's been more into her than she's been into him since like last season. I'm over it.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your post. Too ruin a wonderful friendship with a forced romance,, with or without involving Liv's sickness is (imo) the height of stupidity. Instead of being the SOD's (sisters of doom) they should be SOS,,,,,Sister's of Stupidity.:)
