OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!?!
These are my ridiculously incoherent and perhaps fleeting thoughts on the season premiere!
+ Bonnie is a badass.
+ Stefan threatening John? Yeah, that was pretty badass, too. I always find him 10000xs more interesting whenever he's being dark. Whereas I find Damon more interesting as he struggles to decide whether being good is worth it. Which is pretty much how I feel about Angel and Spike, respectively (well, about Angel when he isn't with Cordy or Connor. I like him good then).
+ John isn't dead! Yay! Which means David Anders could pop back up at any time!
+ Did John's explanation of the reason the Gilbert parents died not make sense to anyone else? Snapping someone's death isn't supernatural. Unless by "supernatural" he meant, "perpetrated by a supernatural being"? Which seems like a weird distinction to me.
+ Katherine is such an awesome bitch. And there's really no other word for her.
+ Okay, making us think Jeremy was dying twice? Oh, silly writers.
+ There were one or two lines that made me wince. I don't remember what they are right now (on the rewatch, I'll make note of them), but it really reminded me how hard dialogue is to write.
+ I still really can't care about/like Tyler Lockwood. I think it might be the actor? He aggravates me. I really am not excited about him being a bigger character this season.
+ Damon's relationship with Sheriff Forbes is really fascinating to me. I think if you pressed him, you'd find that he really does respect her. And obviously she just trusts him so much. When she finds out he's a vamp, she's gonna be devastated.
+ I'm finding myself shipping Stefan/Katherine even more, in a twisted sort of Angel/Darla way. I think he's going to be absolutely fascinating whenever she's around, and I'm anxious to find out if her feelings for Stefan are real.
+ EXCUSE ME WHERE IS ALARIC? AND WHY ARE HE AND DAMON NOT BROMANCING IT UP??? Seriously, they better have all kinds of scenes together this season or I'mma be very not pleased.
+ Poor, poor, poor Damon! *sobs* When both of the women he's cared about told him they'd never pick him, they'd always pick Stefan, it just broke my little heart. It was soooooooo Spike-esque. I mean, it was basically Cecily and Buffy telling Spike he's beneath them. Please tell me other people had that thought. Seriously, he reminds me more of Spike and Stefan reminds me more of Angel all the time.
+ That said, as bad as I felt for him, that was supremely stupid trying to kill Jeremy. And no, I don't think he saw the ring. But Elena was right: he does want her to hate him so that he can convince himself that he hates himself and he can try to make himself not feel again. I love how she gets him.
+ And I love her telling him she cared about him and he was better than that. Love it. Perfect moment.
+ I'm actually kind of glad that she's all OMG I HATE DAMON NOW because that means they won't rush the romance. Which was what I was worried about with this season. So now they'll have to really rebuild their relationship in order to get us to believe it, and I approve of that.
+ CAROLINE. I guess this means she'll be a vampire now? An adorable, bubbly vampire? BUT SHE BETTER NOT BE REALLY DEAD. EVER. I LOVE ME SOME CAROLINE TOO MUCH. Also she and Matt remain adorable.
+ I think this was a really solid episode? But I don't know yet. I'll have to watch it once more and digest. Still, my first instinct right now is that the writers had the perfect final line for this episode: GAME ON. SEASON TWO IS GONNA BE EPIC.
