It’s that time. Klaus has arrived in Mystic Falls and it’s about to go DOWN. Thursday night, we learned pretty much everything even remotely important about Klaus, the sacrifice, the sun and the moon curse, and such things that had our minds boggled and insanely confused… or was that just me? Added bonus- the wonderful Vee from vampire-diaries.net added a breakdown of the TVD mythology so far. Seriously, go check that out, it’s amazing! Also, there are only 3 episodes left until the season finale! Which also means, certain someones (yes, that is plural) will die soon. And of course, the long anticipated sacrifice. I have to say, these last few episodes have to be some of the best ones this season.
Oh hai, Elijah’s having a stroke. Major stroke though, I’ve never heard of one that intensively cracks your bones. But, I get that this new Elena is all independently strong and brave and all, but I’d probably stand outside the door and just look through that little peephole, waiting for him to wake up. It’s probably safer. You never know what he’d do to ya, Elena, you practically killed him yourself… wait, you did. Flashbacks though! These are my favorite. And Trevor! One of my friends favorite. Ha. I love that he practically handed over Katherine to Elijah in 1492. Considering he was in love with her and all and tried saving her later too. Also love how the Salvatore house basically kicked him out. I guess if you haven’t been invited in, but you’re already IN the house, then the house would just kill you. Life or death this invitation thing. I also love that instead of inviting him in, she hands over the dagger. I love a lot of things, okay? Trust is hard to earn these days, huh.
Shirtless Stefan can never be replaced with wife beater Stefan. Why don’t the writers understand this? But, that bed looks a bit too empty.. I’m sure P-Dubbers would fix that. EWW, I just vomited in my mouth from this hallway conversation between Damon and Andie. So gross. “How’s the shoulder? It;s time for a bite. I’m SO hungry.” “Oh, can you just use a blood bag today, it looks pretty messy.” BLECH. God, I hope that’s not the writers’ idea of “cute” for those two. Also, for future reference: “I don’t know, Stefan, she’s your girlfriend. Mine’s right here.” All. I’m. Saying.
Klaus has Katherine compelled to do everything for him, including serving coffee. Anyways, creepy banter. Though, we do find out (or I come to realize this) that the sacrifice had to happen in the doppelgangers birthplace. “But, I did find your birthplace and I slaughtered your family. So, I guess we’re cool.” Yeah, because trying to stay alive and not be part of a sacrifice is totally considered a betrayal.
I absolutely love how Elena tries to gain Elijah’s trust over a phone conversation with Stefan. “It’s cool, Stefan. Elijah is totally trustworthy. He’s my dawg, we cool.” And Elijah makes this facial expression of approval like “Tis true.” Nice job, Elena. Also, Damon continues being a dick. I understand you’ve fallen for the girl and all, but fool, SHE’S NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND. Back up, bruh. (Yes, the “ghetto” in me is beginning to come out because of Damon and his tomfoolery. I’m sorry). I’m SO glad Stefan is not taking anymore of Damons crap about this. It’s about time you actually start fighting for your woman.
More flashbacks! Nina loves doing accents, she’s pretty good at them. I love how they decided to hide his face until he actually came up to Katherine and Elijah, like they’re trying to add suspense and all after we’ve already seen how this looks due to wonderful promo stills and whatnot. Although, I’m glad he decided to do away with “Niklaus”. Seems less badass. And of course, I have to say, Nina looks flawless as always.
Another few things that I love- Elijah decides to spend the day at the Lockwood mansion and nothing less. Plus, good job on getting the new mayor off vervain before he was killed. I wonder who else he got to get off of it.
Oh noes! Jenna’s back home. Maybe she’ll finally clue in on what’s going on. Also, Damon, still an immature ass.
“Death would be too easy for her after what she did”. She did nothing though! She stayed alive! You fools were practically about to chop her head off and she was one doing all this betrayal? Y’all fools are messed up. But did Klaus really did just try to charm/seduce Katherine with speaking Bulgarian? Oh. Okay. Plus, they are BROTHERS. I totally called this in my mind! Rivaling brothers are classic nowadays. Although, I’m disappointed that they decided to cut out the F in OMFG in the final edit, when in the previews from last week, it was clearly in there! CW promos are pretty misleading. Frowny face.
I hope Alaric doesn’t notice all the missing liquor bottles from is apartment. Katherine needed something to do, being locked up in that place and all. And why does Damon want her out exactly? Could it be to have some angry, long overdue, “I hate you” sex? I mean, they’re nice together and all.
More “Oh noes!”. Jenna baby, I told you about letting these fools in the house. It’s not good for you.
Okay, so here’s where all the heavy stuff starts coming in with Elijah and Elena’s conversation. Elijah and Klaus is two of seven siblings of the Orignal family, which were human before being vampires. That is whole other story we have yet to find out about, though. “We are the Original family and from us all vampires are created”. Bada-bing. Originals over Vulturi! Sorry, I had to.
“There’s always a loophole.” Always. I’m surprised Katherine didn’t know this. Oh, and if someone could do something about Andie and bring back Rose, I’d love that very much, thanks.
“I find chopping calming.” Oh. Well. That’s… wonderfully comforting, creep. I feel safe. I love how in Carina’s recap she says “And then AlariKlaus is like, ‘I have a confession! I’m totally Team Edward!’ And Jenna’s like ‘DEALBREAKER’.” I just had to throw that in there because after reading that, I feel that’s the only way to describe that scene from now on. But wait, werewolves are older than vampires? Have we been told this already? This show confuses me.
White wood ash was mentioned in the books, too. Just throwing that in there too. There’s a HUGE bomb being dropped here. My first reaction (due to some nonsense that happened the day of) was “…..whoa”. Right now, I’m like “OMG OMG OMG. IT’S ALL FAKE!” The freaking sun and moon curse is FAKE. THANKS KEVIN AND JULIE. But I guess if you’re going to spend all of eternity alive, you gotta do something to pass the time. So making up a curse about the Sun and the Moon from Aztec origin is pretty badass. I never understood why Klaus was so obsessed with breaking that curse when apparently, the sun is not even a problem for them AND those little daylight rings are so easy to come across with all the witches Klaus has hiding around and whatnot. Plus, witches are the most powerful beings ever. Bonnie needs to step her game up. Nosebleeds do not happen to the most powerful! “The easiest way to discover the existence of a doppelganger or to get your hands on some long lost moonstone is to have every single member of warring species on the lookout,” Elijah and Klaus, absolute brillance.
Here, AlaricKlaus is being an ass and Stefan is being badass. I like, I like. Oh, hey there VampStefan, meet newly informed, pretty scared Jenna.
So there’s a curse on Klaus and that’s the one he’s trying to break? Oh, more confusing curses. But Elijah and Katherine were so cute way back when. She’s very different from her present self, believing in love and without love then why live and all that jazz. I actually loved this scene. “True love is not real unless it is returned”. “Life is too cruel. If we cease to believe in love, why do we live?” Please, don’t kill her off guys. I just fell in love all over again. But, there are a lot of people, even in this show, that should take those lines into consideration, mostly the first one.
Can I get a collective applause and dried up tear ducts for Sara Canning please? They’ve given her something to work with and she has nailed it. I’m in tears every time. And Stefan listening in on the other side. His facial expression could mean a few things. The fact that he cares enough for Elena that her family and her friends pain, and Elena’s pain, is also his pain. Because, as corny as it may sound right now, Elena’s pain is his pain. He feels for her, because he genuinely cares about everyone. He’s that boyfriend where, in a relationship, your girlfriends friends, become your friends. And you end up caring for each other because of that. So he’s in pain. Plus, it could also be how sad he is that ever since he popped up in Elena’s life, she’s been stuck in a web of lies for him. And he never wanted that for her. He never wanted the life and the events that are happening to her now. And it seems as if he feels it’s his fault. Like if he wouldn’t have showed up, none of this would be happening. But, if he hadn’t shown up, Elena would have been a goner by now.
“It’s not your fault Stefan. It’s mine.” One for Elena. Even though I feel like they should have told Jenna a long time ago about everything that has happened. Either way, I’m glad she FINALLY knows. No more random invitations in the house. Oh, I hope Elena told her that. Ooooh, lookey, more Salvatore brooding tension. “That’s twice today you’ve stood in my way. I wouldn’t try a third.” Damon, you not scary. You older, but you not scary. Elena’s face when Stefan grabbed Damon and said “Let her go” pretty much explains everything.
How amazingly adorable and cute is Nina dancing around drunk? Can I adopt her? I know she’s older than me and all but, can I? Klaus is a party pooper. He can’t come to my future drinking and dance party. Hey, hey! Greta is supposed to be held against her will like the Martins thought. She’s working with the enemy! The CW can never have a moderately ugly person on the network, though.
KLAUS IS A MUTT. What’s this hybrid name? Vampwolf? Werepire? Werevamps? I’ll stick to vampwolf. Also, I can now see where Klaus got this idea of “hunting down people’s family members and murdering all of them” for revenge. Runs in the family brains. Yikes.
So, Klaus wants to trigger the werewolf side and procreate little vampwolves? There’s so much information here, my brain hurts! I can’t even comprehend. *Inserts the same link posted at the beginning of this recap so you can all go there and be confused* (And there’s more stuff in Carina’s recap too. She’s pretty intellectual and all). I’m just a bit confused and tired at the moment to revel in it all.
HA. Not now, Andie. And YES for Stefan maning up and fighting Damon. It’s seriously been long overdue about this. Damon needs to go find someone else to fall in love with. Stefan always gets the girl. Damon is like… sloppy seconds, if anything. Stefan is always first. But of course the fight had to be broken up before it got really good. And it also takes Elijah back to a time where he and Klaus had one of their own brawls. I love how classy Elijah is, asking for an apology. And Stefans apology is ON POINT. “I’m sorry for the part I played in your death. I was protecting Elena. I will always protect Elena”. And, I’ve thought about this for a while, and it feels very necessary to add this into my recap (which I also feel the need to add, if not already noticed, is completely opinion based)- DAMON IS THE BIGGEST IMMATURE ASS I’VE EVER SEEN IN A FICTIONAL CHARACTER THIS SEASON. I can’t even deal with his tomfoolery anymore. “Boo me, my brothers girlfriend doesn’t love me or trust in my plans for her survival. I’m going on a road rage now. Boo-hoo” GIVE. ME. A. BREAK. I’m really tired of these scenes and could not care less if one of those “major deaths” before the season end is Damon. Come at me.
And finally, back at the amazing bachelor pad for the hottest history teacher in Mystic Falls, some witchy voodoo is happening and Klaus steps out his box, and he’s classy too!
So MVP this week is between Paul Wesley, Matt Davis and Joseph Morgan. Paul because Stefan is finally taking control and fighting for his girl. And because of that swoon worthy scene in the kitchen with Matt Davis, and the one in the wife beater, which should have been a shirtless scene. Matt Davis has finally had something better to do than grade papers. I can only imagine the excitement when he found out Klaus was going to posses Alaric. And Joseph Morgan for his badassery playing Klaus in 1492. I expected such badassness last week and was disappointed. I applaud him this week.
