amezriSo...I'm about 6 weeks behind on Vampire Diaries. Time to finally try and get caught up! (Also, the only TVD icon I have is Caroline looking a lot like Harmony. Hm.)
Full on ramble as always.
Vampire Diaries 3.01: The Birthday

I'd totally forgotten that Damon got bitten by Tyler...
"I promise I'm not a serial killer." Hah. Yeah, never believe that crap.
Oh, evil Stefan. I'm not surprised that you're such a psycho after spending 100 years pretending you can just ignore it.
Awww, man, Jenna. Why did they kill her? ;_;
OH HAI NAKED DAMON.
I kind of like that Damon is having an almost functional relationship with this news reporter... wtf is her name. Andy? Right.
Jeremy's I see Dead People powers could be interesting, but right now it's just annoying. Although, they there ANNA, ILU.
Wuh... is that David Gallagher from 7th Heaven playing Ray? IT IS. Weird.
Alaric, did you almost just ask Damon for advice? ILU YOU BOYS. The bromance is amazing.
Oh hey, Tyler & Caroline. She has a thing and he has a thing and... why don't they just both have a thing and get it over with?
I don't know what it is, but Somerhalder looks extra make-up-y this episode.
OMG JUST KISS THE GIRL, DAMON.
WUT. Kegger at the Salvatore mansion. How is Damon even letting that go on... food mob?
Okay, I actually don't hate Andy and now they might be killing her? NOOOO. Just get out of the studio, Andy, geeez. Or call Damon or something. WTF, girl??
Damon: Hold the fort down, will you?
Alaric: You mean the fort full of my drunk history students?
Your wish? Yep, he's alive, Elena, and running around killing people.
Awww. :( Damon actually liked Andy. I'd ask about vamp blood, but I guess not.
YAYS CAROLINE/TYLER. I don't know why I like them so much, but I do. :P
OMG, Damon, just tell her that Stefan killed Andy.
Is it bad that I still DGAF about Matt? I mean, he's kind of boring. And a little jerky.
OMG ALARIC. They don't need a role model. They need another human in the house who can help them. I mean, seriously, WTF - "Hey, Elena, you just turned 18. Happy birthday, I'm out."
Hey, Stefan, do you feel like a bit of an asshole right now? Because you really should.
OHNOES CAROLINE!! :O

Hahaha. I love that Alaric thinks incessant knocking first thing in the morning is his buddy Damon.
OH MRS. LOCKWOOD. IF ONLY YOU KNEW.
How long is it going to be before people start noticing that Little Miss In Everyone's Business is missing?
I didn't really give a crap about Stefan before and I still kind of don't. Sorry, Stefan, even evil you're sort of boring.
Okay... Virginia to Tennessee is like a 6-9 hour drive depending on where you're going. How is it still daylight?
HAHAHAHA DAMON. Nice job tossing Elena's ass in the river for running off.
Elena, seriously, it's nice that you have hope but holy crap, girl. Stefan's running around killing people for good times.
TYLER, GO FIND YOUR GIRLFRIEND. GEEZ.
Okay, wait, so Jeremy brought the spirits back right? It's not just that he sees them. Otherwise that photo wouldn't have moved. Yes/yes?
OMG Tyler, it's great that you're enlightening your mother, but are you forgettingg that Caroline is missing??
Oh, Stefan. Still trying to protect Elena.
The lighting in this car scene is fabulous. Like someone actually learned how to light a night scene! Amazing.
You know, Stefan, if you want Elena to stop following you, stop calling and watching her from afar. Geez.
NO! DON'T BRING THE DEAD PEOPLE BACK. That never ends well.
Oh boy, Stefan. You can Klaus get to be BFFs forever. :\
OH YAY. I hope you're not too late keeping Caroline form getting killed, Carol because Tyler is going to be really pissed.
OH WHAT IT'S HER FATHER?!!!

UGH. KATHERINE. Being helpful I guess, but she always has an agenda.
OH HI CLAIRE HOLT! Aren't you flirty and mysterious.
Are they on vacation or does Elena just not go to school anymore? Shouldn't be be applying to college?
DON'T TELL HIM ABOUT THE RING CAROLINE!!! Stupid girl.
I don't know, I find all of this Stefan stuff totally not interesting.
Rebecca is Klaus' sister? Hm.
Wow, Stefan was super effed up.
Okay, for serious, how does Klaus not sense that Elena is in there?? Doesn't he have super vampire powers?
Oh well. I guess Stefan's not all gone. For a second there, I really thought he was going to hand Elena over.
CAROLINE. ;_; Okay, Mr. Forbes, you're going to torture her but you're not going to feed her? WTF. Because a starving vampire has ever done anything rational.
YAY MRS. FORBES AND TYLER TO THE RESCUE!
Okay, so the necklace that we all thought was Katherine's was actually Rebecca's even though... didn't Katherine actually SAY that was her necklace? I might be remembering wrong.
So... Elena.. you're going to stop chasing Stefan around now, right? I mean... okay, he could be saved but it's kind of clear that he's not actually that interested in you doing the saving.
I love Caroline's mom.
To be fair, Caroline, your dad thought he was trying to save you in his own crap way.
Claire Holt, I remember when you were a silly Australian mermaid. (Who was kind of a bossy bitch.) I might like this Rebecca character though. :P
Oh, of course Katherine is always underfoot. How else does she know what is going on?

On a production note, the cinematography is slightly improved on the show. Contrast ratio is not as ridiculous, but it still needs some work. Overall, though, lighting is a hell of a lot better and I can see more detail in the highlights and darks.
Okay, actually, I feel like there are two DPs working this show. Sometimes night scenes look great and sometimes they look like previous season - too dark and no detail. What is going on, you guys?
Full on ramble as always.

Date: 2011-10-26 03:10 pm (UTC)I think it's the next episode that they clear this up. You know, in a murky sort of way which I put together after having the same "wait, what?" that you did.
OMG, Damon, just tell her that Stefan killed Andy.
I LOVED the one off "happy birthday Elena, Stefan killed my girlfriend. Cake?" because it was SO DAMON and still managed to convey that he was actually HURT about it. I honestly didn't believe he ACTUALLY cared about her until he was freaking out about Stefan killing her. He was much less obvious with his feelings, probably because feelings are weak and stuff except when it comes to his I-hate-myself-because-I-love-you schtick with Elena.
You know, Stefan, if you want Elena to stop following you, stop calling and watching her from afar. Geez.
THIS ANNOYED ME SO MUCH.
Okay, for serious, how does Klaus not sense that Elena is in there?? Doesn't he have super vampire powers?
THANK YOU. I was like "um what?" I mean, can't he SMELL the mortal meat? No? I think this is their "use it when we want it to work, ignore it when we don't" vampire power.
YAYS CAROLINE/TYLER. I don't know why I like them so much, but I do. :P
I ADORE THEM. SO SO VERY MUCH.

Date: 2011-10-27 05:15 pm (UTC)Yeah.. it kind of didn't still. LOL
I LOVED the one off "happy birthday Elena, Stefan killed my girlfriend. Cake?"
YES! Damon really did feel some kind of way about Andy, otherwise he'd have killed her already. So, Stefan killing her did actually hurt him - more than he expected, I'm sure.
I think this is their "use it when we want it to work, ignore it when we don't" vampire power.
SO SO ANNOYING. Klaus should have smelled her in the room the moment he walked in - she's only been there ALL DAY.
