Some highlights of what I liked the most.



-omg I can't even with this "you respect my choice thing"...it's bs.
It's not in a moment when you have to save the love of your life that you respect her choices. In that moment you have to act on instinct.

-OMG the memories...Damon...awww...my babe. When will we hear Stefan say something so good about Damon?

-Bekah!!! I love you girl and maybe I love her interaction with Damon even more.

-Tyler as a Klaus...I liked Trevino performance.

-Oh no Klaus didn't save Rebekah, he just left her there. He has to change, right now.

-I like that Meredith and Damon team up, but I don't like the way he treated Matt. It's not his fault, it's Stefans. I get that Damon needs someone to take it out on, but this is just not fair.

-Go Caroline!

-Bonnie hon, Jeremy is right. Dark magic is never good.

-Oh Stefan...his way to love Elena is so pure, but, otoh it's so not exciting and doesn't fit an eternity together.

-Klaus you son of a b...he is the most selfish and cruel creature of the whole show. Ripping out Tyler heart to get his body back. Cruel.

-Damon is pretty much always right, Stefan...damn you. Listen to him sometimes.

-While Elena and Stefan were talking and Elena was dying, my heart just broke for Rebekah...she just wants someone who loves her.

-Damon staked someone with a gun.

-Damon stop, it's not Matt fault, he is not Stefan. He is not guilty. Leave him alone. Actually both Damon and Stefan haen't been fair to Matt, who is already destroyed by the sense of guilt..but since it was Elena's choice, she is the one you all should be mad at. Then Stefan, because even though I found tragically romantic that he saved Matt life to respect Elena's choice, I also think it's pretty out of character for a person who claims to love a woman more than everything. So yes Damon might be selfish because he would have saved Elena, but he would have done it to give her the chance to live the life he couldn't live. To give her the life she has always wanted.

-How Damon froze when Elena told him that she remembered? OMG Damon, my poor Damon...and that "I am that selfish" line? The difference between Damon and Stefan is that Damon is resposible for his actions. He doesn't blame other people. He makes decisions and lives with them. I wish Stefan could do the same.

-Klaus you can go to hell today, you have no right to be like that with your own sister.

All in all a good premiere, I can't wait for more.

I had a few more overall thoughts, but other than not feeling Trevino as Klaus all that much, I pretty much agree overall with what you have here.

Definitely. I was pleased overall. :)

I will come to read your review soon. Now I am reading the new chapter of your fic.

Thanks God today work is lazy :)

Oh one more thing I think Ian made an awesome job in portraying all the Damons feeling.

Damon was awesome. As always. Period.

LOVE HIM!

I have seen people totally hating him and other falling for him.

Of course I did fall for him. He is just perfectly Damon :)

Boy, Klaus was especially nasty last night, wasn't he? Let's hope Rebekah finally gets it - Klaus isn't her ally or on her side at all, just because he's "family".

Yeah, it's not Matt's fault that he survived, but Damon is lashing out right now. He didn't want vampirism for Elena, but here it is. He's going to be pissed about that for quite a while.

Interesting that Elena never once considered, like Damon did, not going through the transformation and just letting herself die. She was hoping Bonnie would pull a cure out of her ass, but aside from that, when it came to the blood, she didn't hesitate to try and reach for it. She wanted to live more than she was worried about being a vampire.

There's something more going on with that pastor and his sacrificed flock. That's what you get, people, for following a fanatic. Intriguing.

Methinks Bonnie is going full-on darkside this season, sort of like blood addict Sam Winchester, though hopefully without the raging hypocrisy.

All in all, a solid premiere.

Seriously he was nasty. I get he was pissed off by the whole Elena thing but come on...Rebekah is the only one who really loved him, the onely one.

Yes Damon is lashing out, but on the wrong person. He should on Stefan...I think they will next episode and it won't be funny. My Brotherlybond heart is going to cry...

Elena is so much darker than everyone thinks. That's why i think at the every end she might be the right one for Damon, because she is not just the nice girl she seems to be.

I liked that fanatic pastor ;)

Please, spare me SAM 2.0. One is enough :)

I simply LOVED this epi. I agree that Damon shouldn't treat Matt the way he did, but i liked his selfish ways in thinking about Elena. To try and give her the life that she always wanted. This phrase was my thoughts exactly " I also think it's pretty out of character for a person who claims to love a woman more than everything. So yes Damon might be selfish because he would have saved Elena, but he would have done it to give her the chance to live the life he couldn't live. To give her the life she has always wanted". I like how he always confronts Elena in accepting some of the truths she refuses to acknowledge, in saying that the night when they first met wasn't the only thing she remembered...

Those flashbacks memories seen from an outsider Elena were so amazing *sigh*...Klaus is a monster who doesn't care for anyone and it pisses me off. I felt sorry for poor Matt and also for Rebekah

An awesome premiere, can't wait for the next epi...

I liked it too. It's selfish and it selfless at the same time.

Really I didn't think Klaus would have been so nasty with rebekah. It's unfair.

C'è da considerare che nessuno dei due sapeva che Elena aveva vampire blood in circolo e quindi l'opzione "se muore diventa un vampiro" non è stata calcolata. Altrimenti non so se le scelte ipotetiche di uno e reale dell'altro sarebbero state le stesse.
Quando ami una persona devi anche imparare a mettere lei prima di te. Non credo la scelta di Stefan fosse out of character. Ha rispettato Elena's choice anche se significava dover vivere per sempre senza di lei. Così come quando se ne è andato con Klaus e ha lasciato tutto quello che aveva per proteggerla anche se significava stare in esilio.
Damon, bah, c'ha sto finto buonismo di fondo che mi disturba. Sempre a metà tra ti amo ma non ti merito, ti ho incontrato per primo ma te lo faccio scordare, perchè tu devi stare con Stefan ma poi quando ci stai non riesco a rispettare la relazione. Non so, a volte preferirei che facesse decidere agli altri se è meritevole o no; oppure dato che proprio voleva sacrificarsi quando ha incontrato Elena per primo sul ponte e rinunciare a lei per "darla" al fratello, allora non sarebbe dovuto tornare a Mystic Fall a rompere le uova nel paniere affatto.
Praticamente Damon mi piace solo quando non è inflaccidito da Elena ecco. XD

Che poi troppo carini Elena e Stefan sul tetto. E' chiaro che quei due si meritano a vicenda. Perchè sono lame in love entrambi. Invece Elena/Damon.... bah! Non mi inspira niente.


Voltando pagina..... loved Tyler/klaus.
Also, non ho capito molto chi è sto prete e perchè alla fine li ha incendiati tutti. Che succede?

Il fatto che nessuno sapesse che Elena aveva sangue di vampiro nel suo sistema rende tutto ancora più incredibile secondo me.
Sfido chiunque nella realtà a fare quello che ha fatto Stefan. Inoltre non ha senso neanche dal punto di vista della scrittura. Stefan è un vampiro. Se invece di "discutere" con Elena sott'acqua si fosse sbrigato avrebbe potuto salvarli entrambi. Secondo me è stato solo un pessimo modo per ottenere quelo che volevano e cioè far morire Elena. Poorly written imo.

As for Damon we agree to disagree. Per me proprio non c'è buonismo nelle sue scelte e nelle sue azioni.

Ah non lo so...credo sia il capo del council con una agenda segreta. Perchè li abbia uccisi tutti non lo so, a meno che non sia stato compelled a farlo :)

I'm completely with you in that whole respecting Elena's wishes thing. I'm so over Stefan making bad decisions and then telling Damon he's right after-the-fact. And don't get me started with Elena's "best choice I ever made" ... just, really????

Elena remembering was so well done. It was awesome to see her reaction on her present-day face as it unfolded to her. :)

Klaus was horrible and hateful and I'm back to really not caring about his character.

So many Damon feels in this episode. He was angry and bitter and needed to lash out, but also figured out a way to fix the horrible situation they found themselves in. I loved him working with Meredith & Liz. His anger was misdirected towards Matt but at least he didn't get the chance to follow through. His speech to Elena showed clearly how much he has grown. It's too bad that Elena can't accept that his wanting to keep her alive is a good thing.

ITA that Stefan & Elena's love does not at all fit with the concept of eternity.

I very much enjoyed this premiere and also can't wait until next Thursday. Sadly, that will be the last episode that I can watch live until the new year (as I'm starting a French class). :(

I so see the two of them having a showdown and being torn apart for some time.

I agree with everything you said. I was surprised at how bad Klaus was and I don't think I can like him if he is going to break Rebekah like he did.

Oh no...well, you join me in the non watching live viewers :)

Klaus you can go to hell today, you have no right to be like that with your own sister.


I TOTALLY LOVE AND AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS, TO BE HONEST.

Oh thank you sweetheart!

The respecting one's choice thing is hilarious. But I actually liked how it was being brought up throughout the episode. I'm sure it foreshadows Elena being forced to reconsider whether it really is so great to have your choices respected, no matter what.

I was surprised by how good Michael Trevino was as Klaus. He was pretty bad in 3x22 but he must have practiced a lot before they started shooting S4 because he was infinitely better in the premiere ^^

I actually had no problem with Damon attacking Matt. He didn't kill him so all is well lol And I loved how Matt understood Damon's anger but couldn't understand Stefan's “choice”. That's saying a lot.

I don't think it was the greatest episode ever but I liked it well enough. Soooo good TVD is back! :D

[identity profile] x5vale.livejournal.com 2012-10-15 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
I think it was poorly written. Stefan is a vampire. Instead of arguing with Elena underwater, he could have saved them both.

I think Stefan hypocricy about respecting the other choices will be clear in the next episode from what I have read.

I agree with your take on Matt who didn't get Stefan's choice. Matt is team!Damon ;)

-Oh Stefan...his way to love Elena is so pure, but, otoh it's so not exciting and doesn't fit an eternity together.
I agree although in this episode, i liked Stephan and Elena esp. in the last scene.
Yes, Damon always says the right things

Amen to that!
