Vampire Diaries – S04E16 – Bring It On

previously, on The Vampire Diaries

– Castle Salvatore – Brothers of Bickering –

Stefan Salvatore: Hi Damon! Since I am contractually obligated to remove the fun from any and all situations, I must voice my deep concerns that Elena has become an interesting character!

Damon Salvatore: And as your roguish yet charming, slightly evil, and more attractive brother, I must disagree!

Stefan Salvatore: But Damon! She turned off her human emotions! And burned down her own house! While her brother was still inside!

Damon Salvatore: Oh come on … he was already dead!

Stefan Salvatore: And you aren’t the least bit concerned that the girl you love is going to turn into a clone of the girl you hate? You know, since she is played by the same actress and all.

Damon Salvatore: Please, it’s not like she’s throwing herself down in the middle of the road, waiting for some hapless jerk to stop and offer assistance, and then eating the poor fool as soon as they get out of the car!

– Mystic Falls – Highway to Hell –

Elena Gilbert: Woe is me! For I have fallen, and I can’t get up!

SOme Hapless Jerk: Egads, this is terrible! Allow me to offer assistance!

Elena Gilbert: :-)=

Stefan Salvatore: You were saying?

Damon Salvatore: Shut up.

– The Island of Misfit Vampires – Cavern of Crushed Hopes –

Stefan Salvatore: Hi Damon! Nice of you to join us! While you were off pulling splinters out of Rebekah’s paws, Katherine Pierce made her glorious return, ate Jeremy, and gave the scraps to Silas! Now Jeremy’s dead, Silas is alive, Katherine has the only thing that can kill him, Bonnie is off making googley eyes at her hallucinations, and Elena is sitting on the ground, rocking back and forth, singing Single Ladies to herself.

Damon Salvatore: Okay, well we just have to – wait, what? Single Ladies?

Stefan Salvatore: You know, if you like it you shoulda put a Magic Ring of Sometimes Not Dying on it?

Damon Salvatore: But Jeremy was one of the Five. The ring won’t work on him.

Stefan Salvatore: And therein lies the hook for the rest of the season.

Damon Salvatore: Okay! This calls for some decisive action. So you grab Elena and take her home, and I’ll be over here ignoring this whole damn thing. Later! Zoom!

Also, this happened.

Galen Vaughn: Top o’ the morning to ya laddie! How be those wee vervain-soaked ropes treatin’ ya?

Damon Salvatore: Kinda itchy, but no worse than the ones Elena uses to tie me to the-

Galen Vaughn: Ah yes, wee Elena, born a doppelganger, recently turned vampire, pot o’ gold between the bow of her legs.

Damon Salvatore: So you’re the one that’s been peeking in through her windows at night! Huh, now I feel all bad about breaking Matt’s shins.

Galen Vaughn: Aye! I’a been spyin’ on the lot o’ ya! There’s Damon, who may not be as evil as he wishes everyone to believe, and Elena, who could charm the pants off a snake, and bonnie Bonnie, the witch, and …

Damon Salvatore: Oh Jesus, just kill me already.

Galen Vaughn: Not until I finish me Lucky Charms!

Damon Salvatore: Say, that’s a nice magic tattoo!

Galen Vaughn: Why thank ye laddie! Would ye believe that it just showed up out o’ the blue a few days ago?

Damon Salvatore: Oh yeah, that must have been due to the vampire genocide we committed a couple of episodes ago.

Galen Vaughn: What’s this now? I thought you were a vampire?

Damon Salvatore: Hos before bros, dude. Little Damon needs his fun, too.

The Lady of the Manor: Fun fact: Irish hunters have an additional super power … the power to make panties explode.

Lexi totally said my name

So one of my (less profane) tweets got read on this week’s Vampire Diaries: Rehash. You can hear Arielle Kebbel, who plays Lexi on the series, read my tweet (and say my name!) at around the 2:00 mark.

If you’ll excuse me, I’ll just be watching this over and over again.

Vampire Diaries – S04E10 – After School Special

The bitter winter stretched icy tentacles across the land, frigid winds creeping across the dirt like a specter’s fingers sending a chill down the spine. The people gathered in homes that glittered in the darkness, hiding from the cold and seeking the comfort of the company of others.

But in one town, a town where time flows faster and slower depending on the season, a town where days stretch into weeks and years collapse into commercial breaks, winter had already come and gone, the Yule marked only with a dance and a spray of blood set to the haunting strains of music that had once symbolized happier things.

In the wake of beautiful slaughter, twelve extras lay dismembered, their character arcs offered up to some dark necromancer, and the mayor lay prone in a fountain, her screen time sacrificed to activate her son’s hybrid rage.

Two vampires still feud over a certain magic lady’s magic lady bits, but the challenger has usurped the champion, leading to much celebration and mourning. Both vampires, for reasons inexplicable, are hell bent on making their magic lady mortal again, and thus to turn her back over the the angelic murderer of Christmas cheer. Plans and machinations swirled around schemes and riddles, loyalties were wrapped in lies and tainted with doubt, and rumors of an upcoming departure stir hope and fear.

And then, in the midst of the turmoil, that dreaded word was uttered again:

“Hiatus.”

And lo the days stretched long and desolate, television screens lit only with reruns, fan wars fueled only with speculation … until now. Until those wonderful words echoed in our ears once more, signaling the end of the cold, dark days …

Vampire Diaries – S04E09 – O Come, All Ye Faithful

previously, on The Vampire Diaries

– Castle Salvatore- Den of Iniquity –

Elena Gilbert: What the hell even is Iquity?

Damon Salvatore: Iquity is the characteristic I exhibit when I do not allow you to remove all of your clothes and ride me like a naughty pony, no matter how much you and or I both want it, because the quote unquote Sire bond between us may make you less than capable of consent.

Elena Gilbert: Oh, so it’s like not being a raging douchebag?

Damon Salvatore: With a side of pent up sexual frustration that will probably lead to the death of a cheerleader and/or epic hatesex with Rebekah next episode, yeah.
