The Vampire Diaries - S02E02|♡Uncut Reaction &Review ♡

The Stefan/Caroline scene is one of my all time favorites! What an amazing relationship they have. I disagree that Damon is trying to make a point that he doesn't care any more. That's why they made a point to say Stefan agreed with him. Damon is very consistent in his character (whether or not killing Jeremy makes him consistent is a debate) but he is very pragmatic about things. He sees the long game, in which Katherine will use Caroline and probably hurt many more people. Damon is not close to Caroline at all and doesn't really respect her, so it makes sense for him to want to kill Caroline. He sees it as the only way forward. Damon doesn't mind being frank and straightforward, which pisses people off, I understand. Sure, could he have had a little compassion in explaining why Caroline should be killed? Maybe. But he didn't Want to kill Caroline, more than he felt like he Had to. Ultimately, I guess this does make him the Bad Guy, and he plays it very well, but I don't think he had malintent. But, I am the big Damon defender. So. On-brand for me.

As I mentioned, every actor will have, before or after, more than one chance to shine. And this episode was all about Caroline. I still remember when I saw this episode first, how much I was impressed by the excellent acting skills of Candice Accola, at the time, now Candice King. Her scene in the bathroom with Stefan is beautiful, so touching, so heart breaking. Stefan in that scene was wonderful, as I mention before, Stefan season two is just wonderful. Damon and Jeremy. I love the explanation that so eloquently Mandzipop has given, to which I agree completely. Jeremy is attracted by who in is his head is a badass, also he's an adult, they shared very intimate moments and even if he killed him, he recognize that Damon is a powerful allied, even if he is a "dick". Damon has a charming quality that makes people open up to him, in one to one conversations, because what he shares with them, on one to one conversations with Liz, Carol, Alaric, Jeremy, Elena etc. are non specific information about himself that are still very personal, inviting people to share on the same level creating confidentiality. Sofie your comments are always very insightful and on point. I love how much you are emotionally invested in the characters. We all felt with this show all the emotions available to human beings, personally I cried my eyes out for this show like in any other show, because is beautiful. Can't wait for the next one.

Part of the reason I didn't like this episode all that much (this is by tvd episode standards) because it was more Caroline focused, and I've never been a fan of Caroline.

Im excited to watch your tvd and One tree hill reactions!!! I just became a pledge right now for those two!!!

Speaking of vervain as protection from vampires. Have you seen how Damon easily removes the ring from his finger (!)? Then why is Elena's necklace a reliable protection against vampires?It's even easier to pull it off your neck than a ring from your finger. In addition, the necklace only protects against suggestion, but does not protect against feeding. It would be much safer to take vervain inside. One of the main events of this episode is the transformation of Caroline into a vampire.This was shown very realistically. The actress who plays Caroline played it amazing. Panic, incomprehension, confusion, emerging hunger and vampire instincts - all at the same time and almost without words. I like it! This is the first time I disagree with Bonnie. She takes it out on Damon, saying it's all His fault. If anything, you have to blame all the vampires (both Katherine and Stefan). Technically, Stefan was the first person in town, and Katherine killed Caroline. Damon also tried to help Caroline by giving her his blood (with Bonnie's permission, it should be noted). Yes, I understand her. Here she just let off steam. It was Damon's fault, but not all of it. And if you punish, then all, and not take it out on the one who first came to hand. I also liked the relationship between Jeremy and Damon in this episode. Despite everything that has happened between them, Jeremy is still trying to find support from Damon. He doesn't even listen to Stefan the way he does to Damon. It's a bit like Damon and Alaric's relationship. Sofie, it was good to see you and your reaction! I will wait for the continuation. The next series will be even more interesting (although I think so every time).

Rewatching this episode I realized how it's really not one of my faves. It has some good moments, but I don't really like most of it.

It makes sense that Caroline gets the hang of being a vampire so easily. She's the complete opposite of Vicki. Vicki was completely out of control, whereas Caroline has a control freak personality. As a vampire, this gets magnified. Stefan and Caroline are the friendship I didn’t know i needed until I first watched this episode. The scene in the bathroom is so sad, but it’s so heartwarming to see how Stefan comforts her. I think it’s clear that Stefan still feels a lot of guilt for not being able to help Vicki, which is why he’s so determined to help Caroline through this and not have it end the same way.
