Last season the show set up a relationship between Damon and Matt and Damon and Enzo. Not very brotherly now, is it?" Boom, right there you've got your connection… IF it had been set up. Plus, it *really* frustrates me because it so, so easily could have been fixed and it frustrates me because if I can see it, why can't they? The line of dialogue was actually there that shows the answer! HELLO!!Įnzo told Matt that “Damon thinks he killed Sarah and instead of absolving him, Stefan's been using his guilt to keep him in check. It was just that once their scene began-every single time!-I immediately was drawn out of the main action that was going on because there was zero connection to *anything* else.Īnd that is something that The Vampire Diaries doesn't normally miss out on establishing which is why I'm frustrated because I am intrigued by this, but I completely understand why everyone else that I've heard from is not. While the scenes played, I was drawn into them and found myself intrigued by the story and where it was going. I think that Tristin Mays (Sarah) is a lovely actress and I really like her so far. I actually do think that Malarkey and Zach Roerig work well together. It was just the Matt/Enzo/Sarah ones that stuck out a bit. The Bonnie scenes, the Damon/Elena, the Gemini, the Stefan/Caroline, the Liv/Tyler all flowed in and out of together. Unlike with “Woke Up With A Monster" this wasn't a case of poor direction where the director wasn't able to seamlessly bridge the scenes because that happened with all of the storylines going on not just the Sarah “Nelson" scenes. Those scenes could have easily been taken out and the episode would not have suffered at all in fact it would have been improved. The Matt and Enzo story feels disconnected from the rest of the show right now.

I'm just going to jump right in, so here goes. Thank you again.I know this is majorly late but I haven't been feeling good and I didn't feel like writing so sorry, but here it is now. I wrote a thing about it here, and it mostly had to do with TVD fans and the warmth and comfort they've shown me over the years and especially this past week. You may never know how much your thoughtfulness helped me. I wanted to sincerely thank you for your kind words in last week's comment section. Would you avenge YOUR twin's death? Why or why not? Do you like Luke better as Luke or as half of Kai's personality? Damon missed his best friend Bon-Bon so much, huh? Just please nobody let him grow his hair out. I can't wait to learn more about how Luke affects his character if you know what I mean. Again, it's no coincidence that Kai was heavily involved: His character is so good and just keeps getting better. Thrilling and sad and surprising, it continued TVD's undeniable Season 6 winning streak. Ugh, so so awesome.Īs much as I complained about the suicide thing, overall I truly enjoyed this episode. It's like Kai got to leapfrog the whole "I've learned a valuable lesson about friendship" situation that most villains have to experience before turning nice, and instead we get to have all these fun scenes about a sociopath crying for the first time. Leave it to TVD to devise the coolest and weirdest way possible to redeem in the quickest, least predictable way: He's now part-Luke, so anything good he does can be attributed to that.

I really want him to become a permanent addition to the show, but I've wondered whether that could happen when he was also such an awful guy. I think we all had reason to expect this would happen to Kai, one of TVD's all-time great villains, if only due to how incredible Chris Wood's performance has been.

But at this point we're all savvy enough to know that if a villain is on a TV show long enough, it's only a matter of time before the redemption arc begins. Like when Klaus saved Caroline's life in Season 3.Ĭome to think of it, villains doing heroic things is basically the entire premise of The Vampire Diaries' kid sister, The Originals. But personally my very favorite story element, and I talk about this all the time, too often probably, is when a villain does something heroic. All the great shows have included love triangles at Red Lobster. It's difficult to craft a compelling narrative without them, you know? See also: animal attacks and love triangles at Red Lobster. When it comes to presenting a compelling narrative, certain story elements always work.
