We have reached the show's season finale! We lay out our honest thoughts on this episode and the entire season of House of the Dragon!

[livelovecaliforniadreams]

I remember this...The water was cold. And if you look at the floor you can kind of see. They've like pulled up...I think they pulled up the carpeting. Like it's just..the carpeting isn't even there it's like painted the same color as the carpeting I think. And I remember that they built...They built like little barriers around the set to keep all the water in cause otherwise you're gonna have water in the camera aisle. So they had to build a little like you know container sort of around the base of it and they had to put it you know around the baseboards of the set cause otherwise it's gonna sink under...There was a whole like liitle small pool kind of  thing built to keep all of the water in. And the water I remember it was pretty cold. Pretty cold...It wasn't like ice cold but it was not like a nice warm shower. And I just remember trying not to laugh...With the physical bits I was having so much fun doing it and you can kind of see as a little kid I'm like yeah this is way too much fun. -Jodie

numerology notes v4

♩ ⋆⋆⋆ this all depends on all your numerical energies combined. energy can manifest different than these notes depending on your energies. these are isolated numerical energies

♩ ⋆⋆⋆ how to find your numbers

▹ try to keep track of dates that you meet new people on as these set up the energy of your relationship whether it be platonic, romantic, etc. similar to how everything that’s been created/formed has an astrology chart

▹ your month + day number can tell about how you come off to people similar to your ascendant sign in astrology. for example: if your month + day number reduces to 5 it can mean one of the first things people notice about you is how beautiful you are as well as your charm

▹ the name you’re known for most is your main name letterology energy. every word has numerical energy in it, but what you’re called the most, will affect you the most

▹ people born in the 2000’s are more sensitive and emotional than people born in the 1900’s since 2 is the number representing sensitivity and softness. this can be both good and bad because it means 2000’s people are more considerate of everyone’s feelings, but at the same time some can be too soft because of this

▹ 17’s are the smartest 8’s since their multiplication number is 7 - (1x7=7) - the main number of intelligence

▹ having a life path 5 is similar to having venus in the 1st house, having a life path 1 is similar to having mars in the 1st house, and having a life path 9 is similar to having neptune in the 1st house

▹ 28’s are the loners of the 1’s since their multiplication number is 7 - (2x8=16->1+6=7) - and 7 is the number representing loner energy

▹ do not hurt someone born under 9 energy because they have no problem holding a grudge against you and will do so for a very long time actually if you hurt them enough

▹ people born on may 25th often struggle with a lot of mental health issues unfortunately

▹ people born on january 1st are very masculine and confident, but still can be shy at the same time

▹ if you want me to post notes about your birthday or one of your numerical energies next time i do one of these, then comment it below

House of The Dragon 2x8 Spoilers and Review.

This is gonna be a rant but I'm still putting a spoiler warning cause some people were waiting for the entire season to drop before they watched. I was spoiled during the week and I'm mad as hell about it. Yes we all know it's fuck book canon atp but at least make sure the story flows and make actual sense.

The finale was mid. I felt like there were a lot of things missing and it was kinda confirmed. We're gonna have to wait 2 long years and knowing season 3 is about to just be the assassinations of characters because season 2 didn't really do anything, nothing moved story wise except the death of Jaehaerys, the sowing of the dragons seeds and the death of one of the realest women in Westeros. It was just glorified fanfiction and most definitely not the good kind.

I'm begging Ryan and Sara to please read or at least have someone else read the source material before they get back in that writers room.

Lucerys, Visenya and Jaehaerys deaths were supposed to haunt the narrative for the entirety of the season, how they could fumble it so bad that it just feels like a drop of water on your hands while washing it is beyond me. Blood and Cheese felt insignificant as fuck considering it was also a major event that led to the destruction and death of one of the most prominent houses in Westeros, majority of the Targaryen's lineage and the death of most of the dragons. I should've known when they started promoting the 2nd season as Alicent vs Rhaenyra instead of Rhaenyra vs Aegon II, y'know the usurper, that it was gonna be some bullshit. The other major events in the second season, Rhaenys' death also felt brushed aside. This is why the show needs to be at least 12-14 episodes. Abolish the 8-10 episodes shit.

I'm gonna get hate for this but could they please let this Rhaenicent relationship go! For the love of everything that is holy, let it go. Season 1 focused on them, fine. Season 2 you gave them a reunion, crazy but okay. There was literally no reason for a second reunion. Sure the scenes were beautiful, shout-out to the actors but let it go. The plot already felt cheapened when they chalked up the dance to one big misunderstanding. Which is crazy considering, Otto and the small council literally had this entire plan set in motion since Rhaenyra was named heir and even a little before. I need Ryan to understand that sometimes friendships just end. Sometimes your friends cross the lines one too many times and you just need to let them go. Alicent overstepped and crossed the lines with Rhaenyra it was downright disrespectful for Rhaenyra to even be in her presence at all tbh. This is the same woman who made her life a living hell, raised her children to be vile, hateful, spiteful little shits towards their own sister and her children, embarrassed her and tormented her in court, started and participated in the rumors and smear campaign about Rhaenyra's character and children, essentially ran her out of her own home, lied about the death of her father and the news didn't come from her or the council immediately but after and that's only because they were holding her former mil hostage and she got away. Alicent knew Viserys was addled and delirious and out of his mind when he was rambling about the conqueror's dream (she didn't know about the prophecy but still), so nothing he said was supposed to be taken seriously and just because he said “Aegon” she decided to be spiteful/hateful and usurp the throne knowing it would've hurt Rhaenyra. I don't know why people gloss over this fact either. Aegon said it himself, his father had years to name him heir and he remained steadfast to Rhaenyra's claim. Aemond said it again this season, the small council and his mother plotted to usurp the throne. What more was there to talk about? The only talking that should've been happening is Rhaenyra signing her and the council's execution warrants for treason. This all started because Rhaenyra omitted the truth about who took her virginity btw. She didn't lie, she never slept with Daemon in that brothel. Not to mention that Alicent son also killed her child!! Let it go!

I'm gonna reiterate this point but we didn't need to spend all that time with Daemon in Harrenhal and his hallucinations. That should've taken 3 episodes top and then they could've had him work on his relationships with his family instead. Especially his daughters. The only thing I liked coming out of the Daemon hallucinations is the prophecy. DAENERYS STORMBORN TARGARYEN IS THE “PRINCE” WHO WAS FUCKIN PROMISED!! NOT THAT BUM JON SNOW. Fuckin finally. We could lay the discourse to rest. GRRM could've posted it on a billboard for the entire world to see and it still would've had the select few that will insist on Jon being the one who the prophecy was talking about. The events in the show and the book supported this btw so I don't even know what the argument was about but let's lay it to rest now. Although show wise it doesn't fuckin matter either way because D&D fucked the last seasons but book lore wise this is what GRRM intended or intends. Still waiting on the next book! The term “prince” was gender neutral. And everybody celebrates. Daemon swearing allegiance to his Queen, as he fuckin should. Raising the army in her name as he should. He's got voices in his head now apparently. Also he has a new friend in Alys, good for him.

Aemond did what he was supposed to do this season. He's still an unhinged psychopath, absolutely no one is surprised. No complaints on my end. I need him to keep his grubby hands to himself though. Helaena gave him his death notice and rubbed in the fact that nobody gave a damn about him in the end, she did that for me.

Criston even though I hate to admit it, same thing. He's still a woman hating piece of shit though and I want him dead immediately. We didn't need all those alicole sex scenes though. We got it, they were fuckin, kudos.

Larys and the small council did what was also expected.

Aegon is still fried. Now he's apparently heading to Essos. He wants to usurp the moniker “Realm's delight” too and to that I say absolutely tf not. That is reserved for pretty women only. Aegon has officially been castrated!! That was for all the women in the realm. It's what he deserved. I don't believe for one second that Sunfyre is dead. I think that'll be a swerve.

I wished we focused on Helaena more though. Her grief was explored a little more than Rhaenyra's but it was also brushed aside. Why? That would've been important to her characterization. Also why did they have Helaena astral project into Daemon's dream? She was so cool as well, like that man didn't have a hand in the death of her son.... You can't make this shit up. The scene was essentially “you killed my kid cool but since you're so good at killing could you get my brother next?” I'm convinced they are doing this shit on purpose. Why do they keep making the female characters in the show this peace seeking, docile beings when they were just as and even more chaotic than their male counterparts (with reason might I add). The men just do the most unhinged shit for glory and in the name of war sake and the women gotta be the peacekeepers even though they're the most wronged.

Alicent's character didn't deserve half the screentime she got because if you cut her scenes in half the majority of them contributed nothing to the moving along of the plot. Absolutely nothing. We already had limited time as is.

Baela and Rhaena I am so sorry you have incompetent people telling your side of the story. Sure they got more lines this season and that's a stretch but they're lacking characterization as well. Ryan and Sara scrapped the Nettles plot, okay (that was fuckin stupid). Nettles had a major role to play. Gave her story to Rhaena in the last two episodes and we still didn't even see her claim Sheepstealer. It's up in the air. Also one of the princesses of the Realm managed to escape and you mean to tell me nobody is looking for her? She just fucked off and that's it. Yeah okay. Also I hated how they wrote her relationship with Jeyne. She was so kind to her in the books and Rhaena actually had a story in the books when she went to stay with her. Sure she would've been living her princess core era life but it's what she deserves. It would've helped flesh out her character as well, led to her hatching Morning and her life after the dance.

Baela lost the majority of her characterization as well even though she's inherently more fleshed out than Rhaena. Baela was chaotic as hell in the books. They swapped her personality in a sort of way with Jace, although he does have a temper (and rightfully so. They did kill his little brother and sister and he seems like the only one who cares) but Baela is supposed to be more unhinged than him. We only caught a few glimpses of her book personality and that's it. Again why are they writing the female characters as these docile, peace seeking beings? They also completely brushed aside their grief concerning their brother/betrothed, sister, mother and grandmother. I'm tired. We kinda got something for Baela in her grief but it was the bare minimum and it was barely mentioned again. Rhaenys was a parent to those girls (more than Daemon at least) and she got a fuck all remembrance. We totally should've gotten even better Jace and Baela's relationship development. We got her being more of his support system though they were each other's. Baela's feelings weren't explored more besides her hating her dad. Unless they're planning to explore it more in season 3 but well y'know 💔. Her telling Jace to stop pouting though and him insisting he's not even though he totally was🤣🤣😭😭. She gathered him and rightfully so. Also their unspoken conversation during the dinner scene with the dragonseeds. Peak wife and husband behavior. I hope we don't have to mourn for what could've been more than we will already be doing.

Rhaenyra character this season was all over the place. They only stick to what her character was from season 1 in episode one and then after that it was like she did a 180. She was destroyed by the grief of her son, daughter and father. They completely forgot that and had her doing the stupidest stuff. She had one of her biggest supporters die as well and it was just cast aside. Development wise we got to see her more open. I'll give them that. They also brushed aside her grief. It felt like Lucerys didn't matter to her in some instances. I have a feeling they're gonna go down the “mad Targaryen” role for her as well. If a woman has to be in power then she has to go crazy. That's what that cult Rhaenyra vibes is giving. I'm not tripping, you guys see it too right? I touched on the second reunion between her and Alicent but her whacking her this last episode was satisfying. I don't trust Alicent's plan and Rhaenyra knows and hopefully she sticks to it. She knows that she has to kill Aegon now. A son for a son. This is who I wanted to see this season. It's like she got back her personality traits in the last episode. She still needs to work on her standing as queen. She had that bum Ulf disrespecting her at the table and she needed to have his tongue expeditiously. Mysaria and her are doomed yuri confirmed. Mysaria has her ear but is only telling her what she wants to hear and that is going to be her downfall. I still can't figure out her angle though but we'll see in season 3. She inadvertently hurt Jace again when she chose Addam to go to Harrenhal. It's like one step forward and then 3 steps back with them. I'm hurt knowing the possible outcome of this situation. Daemon and her reunion were good. I like how she didn't fall back into his arms. Stand on business and continue to stand on business Rhaenyra.

Corlys grief was brushed aside. He didn't really do anything this season besides deny his sons, lie to his wife in his last moments and try to make his legitimate granddaughter heir after laughing off the idea of making his other legitimate granddaughter heir. His ship is finally fixed though. “The Queen Who Never Was ” is the new name of it. I had tears in my eyes, I could admit it. I'm not ashamed. Everything that he's doing now he's doing it for Rhaenys. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Why did he wait so freaking long to honor her properly though 💔. There is no denying he loved his wife, he just could've loved her better. I'm glad Alyn dragged his ass for being a deadbeat though. Gave his ass a reality check he so richly deserved. He hurt those boys and he deserved to know. Imagine your father could've made your life easier but he decided to be a coward while favoring his other children, a tongue lashing would've been the least he got, I would've fought him. They're on to meet the triarchy though.

Jacaerys character was developed stellar this season. He didn't have plenty of screentime and he was mugging down for most of it but the rage, the grief, the despair was all palpable. He lost a part of his soul in Lucerys and it was there for everybody to see. He didn't get anything to do until the later half but when he got to go he did. I said it before and I'll say it again I love his and Baela's relationship. Him resting his hand in her lap after her scolding and her gently massaging it. Yeah those are real lovers. His beef with Ulf is so personal to me. Like yes threaten that uncouth vermin some more. Really reminded me of his fathers there. It's crazy though how Addam and Jace parallel each other though. Two of the best boys in Westeros that deserve the absolute world. Fate was unkind to them both as well.💔

Shout-out Simon Strong. One of my favorite characters this season along with lil Oscar. I love how he didn't let that traitorous snake Alfred slide. He let his queen know immediately. I love a loyal diva.

Tyland and the triarchy were funny though. Who would've thought I could've shown a Lannister besides Cersei love?!

I'm wrapping up this rant cause it's already so long-winded. The show is only slated for 4 seasons though btw. LMFAO.

Until next time folks. Take care of yourselves in the meantime.

Until season 3 folks.

2x8 theory after watching loustat hug scene and S3 loustat

I don't think Lestat and Louis stayed together . Louis whisperer something to him and hugged him again . In my opinion Louis took him to a safer place in new Orleans maybe another house . Left him some clothes and they agreed on separating but not forever . I think by writing his book he put himself / Daniel / Armand and more importantly Lestat in a big danger , so by getting all of the attention on himself he once more wants Lestat to save him like he did in Paris but he also wants to protect Lestat .

And honestly it would be a lovely change if Lestat doesn't bury himself again for years because the reunion was in 2022 probably and the book published in 2023 or 2024 . So next year in S3 it has to be just short time jump and Lestat on a tour without being buried . In my opinion Lestat will get stronger will get stronger and become a singer now that he knows Louis is alive and accepted his vamparism but once he read Louis's book he'll probably prefers to stay away from Louis so that Louis come and finds him and choose him again . But at the same time Lestat will try to save Louis again because he will hear others wanting to attack Louis too and he will bring all the attentions to himself instead of Louis by telling his own story and doing the concert .

The potential of the story wouldn't change the only thing that changes from the book is how long Lestat sleeps under the ground . And I think on the show he won't need to because Louis somehow takes care of him even from a far .

[justanancientfangirl]

Oof.

Helluva Boss's 2x8 had some ups and downs for sure.

Cletus' voice makes me want to tear my ears off . Not relevant to anything, just...maybe let the goat girl have more lines next time.

Why does IMP think Blitzø is gonna mess it up? I mean they all know he's a mess, but it's been going just fine for a while. Not super important really, just thought it was a bit deus ex machina that they were there, even if the fight was lit.

As far as Blitzø and Stolas...both have valid points. In this particular case though, though I feel bad for Stolas, Blitzø I think has a bit more of a leg to stand on?

Probably an unpopular opinion, but hear me out.

Stolas has been planning this for a while. He's been all in his feelings, parsing through what he wants and what he feels and why. He's been doing a TON of soul searching. Which is excellent! It's growth! We love to see it.

Before that though, everything we see him say to Blitzø is a little condescending, or in the context of their deal. He only really seemed to start wanting to get to know Blitzø at all in the Ozzie episode, but we don't really see them talk much except in Seeing Stars, when he is more worried about getting Octavia back than anything. And when they do talk, Stolas is kind of snippy, except when he is being overtly sexual

The point being: though we know Stolas has been thinking about this deal for sometime, and know he has come to some conclusions about the whole thing, he hasn't really seemed to change much in how he outwardly treats Blitzø.

He has been telling Blitzø he doesn't have to come since he got hurt (I am guessing) but suddenly asks him to come back? It seems like Blitzø hasn't been getting any since he stopped sleeping with Stolas. Or at least, nothing that he's as excited for, even if he talks a bit game about it being for work.

He is worried that he isn't good enough in general, and spends the whole episode getting things he thinks Stolas will like. He knows he doesn't like beads, knows he will like a giant dildo, he likes the fancy stretchy harness and the rhinestone blindfolds...like, he is actively trying to make sure that Stolas has a good time. So he keeps him around. And we, the audience, know it's not just to keep the grimmoire.

So Stolas gives Blitzø a panic attack by first requesting the book back permanently, saying that their deal is off. Anything after that, Blitzø was never going to hear right away, because not only will it feel like Stolas is throwing him away, he's also taking away everything Blitzø has built for himself.

Stolas does give him the crystal and explain what it is and what it does, but Blitzø is still processing 'give me the book back permanently ' and probably re-living every time Stolas has reminded him of their differences in station, called him a 'plaything' or a 'little imp'.

He and Stolas have never really talked. Every time they got close, Stolas backtracked. So suddenly Stolas is being really serious and emotional, and is all dressed in his finest clothing and telling Blitzø that the arrangement is over ... Yikes.

The thing is, Blitzø is totally right to need a minute to process. Stolas drops a bombshell, gets upset when Blitzø treats it like part of the game they've BEEN playing, because there's no reason for Blitzø to assume that they are doing emotions now.

Then, when Blitzø realizes that Stolas was serious he calls Stolas out for just dismissing him when he didn't react the way Stolas wanted. Stolas has had time to process his emotions, Blitzø hasn't. It's not fair to just sweep away and say 'well, good luck, see you never, guess you don't feel for me' like...way to put words in his mouth, Stolas.

And then when Blitzø demands to talk about it, when he lashes out and accuses Stolas of treating him like he is nothing just like all the other royals, Stolas portals him out of the house.

Like... Stolas didn't want to take advantage of the power imbalance anymore, right? The point was supposed to be to give Blitzø a choice. And then, as soon as he gives Blitzø the crystal, and Blitzø doesn't react in the exact way Stolas wants, he makes yet ANOTHER unilateral decision.

He didn't even give them a chance to talk about it like adults. Not that Blitzø was going to talk about it like an adult, he was probably going to yell some more, and insult Stolas more too, but at least at first, after he realized that Stolas was serious, he DID seem like he would have been amenable to a conversation.

He didn't start yelling till Stolas swept out of the room and didn't look back.

And then, Stolas just makes the decision for him AGAIN, and portals him away. Stolas is devastated, and hurt that it seems like Blitzø thinks really lowly of him, but...he's also very much doing exactly the same thing that he has always done.

He hasn't lessened the power imbalance at all. He's just reminded Blitzø of how deep that gulf really is. He didn't even ask him to leave, just forced it on him, which is kind of shady.

Also, it's not like Stolas has ever been particularly kind to any of the other imps-not his employees (IMPloyees, lol) not Moxie and Millie...he is still kind of an asshole to other imps Blitzø knows, and being someone's exception is...not really a great feeling.

This post got away from me.

Basically though, it distills to Stolas said he wanted to give Blitzø a choice and have them be equals, but as soon as things didn't go the way he wanted, he shut Blitzø down immediately and made a unilateral decision for the both of them. That's not something partners do. If he had talked with Blitzø on LITERALLY any other day, had offered the crystal first, had allowed them to make a decision together...THEN I would be a little more on his side here. He is allowed to be devastated and hurt by Blitzø's words. He's allowed to feel rejected. But he is not without fault in this. They've been shit at communicating from Day 1. If this is gonna be endgame, they HAVE to do better. And Stolas can't escape from painful conversations by magically transporting Blitzø away when Blitzø can never hope to reciprocate that kind of treatment.

[altschmerzes]

Sooo I’ve been wanting to ask this but have also been too nervous to do so for fear of sounding too demanding or fishing for too many spoilers…but after seeing your recent post about being happy to talk about your fics, I’m just going to go for it 😂 I am very curious about how you plan to tackle episode 2x8 and the changes you’ll be making, and just…is there anything you’d be willing to share about all that?

AH YEAH ONE OF THE...... BIGGEST THINGS(TM) IN THIS ENTIRE CONCEPT AND FIC. from the BEGINNING this was gonna be Enormous no matter what and i am happy to talk about it!!! i love when people are invested in my projects tbh it makes it way more fun and engaging to work on them. you guys feed my energy to work on this thing, and thus it gets done faster, etc.

("is there anything you'd be willing to share?" [goes off on a whole big explanation that is probably WAY more than you asked for-])

so. 2x08. and all that. gonna put it under a cut again, in case 'gav explains in some degree of... detail exactly what they're gonna write in their fic' is gonna ruin the experience for you (gosh i hope not ljkdsf) but here we go (also cw for abuse here, which is probably obvious but. still.)-

2x08 is where things like... it marks the big Shift in the status quo of how things are, though the actual Events of 2x08 as translated into the au are sort of in the middle of an extended series of events that begin before it and end after it. so i'll talk through sorta the process of events that it's contained in.

basically, at the time it starts jamie is living with his dad most of the week in manchester but spending weekends staying with his friends in a rotation in richmond so he can work at nelson road on weekends. (yes, i'm aware of how far away those places are from each other. yes this is an insane commute. everybody is aware it's insane, everybody is sort of tactfully avoiding pointing it out to jamie. he does his homework on the bus, it's peaceful, he says.) he gets to richmond late fridays, goes to whichever friend whose house he's staying at that weekend, and then gets home sunday evenings.

at this point, ted is getting way more worried about jamie as time goes on, and others are too. he's been talking to his little like. war meeting of responsible adults he's consulting on whether he's right about what he's suspecting here, what to do about it, how, when, etc. and he's just recently gotten worried enough that he's given his phone number to jamie's friends at the park, shannon and company, and told them that if they're ever worried, if something ever Happens with jamie that sets off that 'i need to get an adult' instinct and they don't know who to call, they can call him. in fact, please call him. and so shannon calls him. because it's like, wednesday or thursday, jamie is not supposed to be in town this early, and he seems hurt. he seems hurt and it seems bad. by the time ted gets there, jamie has bolted and they don't know where he is. and there's just... nothing really to do. he's texting shannon saying he's fine and leave him alone.

and then there's the match at wembley. which is coming up Right Now so they have to deal with that, not like they can postpone it, so they get all the way to the match with this awareness in the back of their heads that like. jamie's out there somewhere having just had a really bad fight with his father, who very obviously based on context clues and what shannon said has beat the hell out of him, he's hurt, but they just have to sort of. keep going. for the moment.

and they lose the match obvs, and jamie went to it with his father - he and some friends are staying in town for a night or two for the event, he got jamie to arrange him tickets a bit back like in canon as well - and comes to see them after because he wants to be there when things are bad too, and that leads to a confrontation when his father comes to find him, and it gets. bad. jamie tries to defend himself but it gets violent, and by the time they're able to intervene he's been. knocked around a bit. (a bit more.)

at that point it's pretty clear that he needs a hospital. it's not life threatening, or anything like that, but it's obvious to ted and roy, who are primarily dealing with this situation (and yeah we get a version of the hug with roy - which scares the fuck out of roy when that's how it becomes clear to him that jamie is Seriously Hurt), that he's not just hurt he's injured and they cannot in good conscience not take him to a hospital. which means doctors and social workers and an overnight stay and a while where they're not allowed in the room with him while the people in charge figure out what's going on and what to do about it. jamie is released from hospital and allowed to go home with ted (and roy, who tags along for a bit, because someone needs to drive them and he can't stomach leaving just yet) late the next evening, but it's a deeply stressful and traumatic experience for all involved. jamie has a lot of healing to do, both physically and emotionally, but this is the big like. turning point towards things Being Okay in the end, finally getting him into a safe place where he'll be loved and cared for.

That's impossible. I saw him two months ago. If he had lung cancer, he would have…

Full Episode Commentary

2x8: Rose

When Elena's abductor delivers her, Trevor feeds on him. He doesn't even bother to cover up his kill, he just leaves him there. I really love vampires lol

Damon: Wait, did you see Tyler's eyes turn yellow? Caroline: They were more gold with amber highlights.

I'm pointing out these random little conversations Caroline has with Damon because her hate doesn't come out until Elena falls for him, and it gets worse when she finds herself attracted to Klaus. So yes, she's perfectly fine with Damon here. "A bite from a werewolf can kill a vampire, so don't be his friend! Do you understand me?" Damon is extremely protective of her, and I feel this is rooted in his friendship with Liz. I'll show what I see in the cut when I get to 2x13. "If you want to drop the hint to your mom, that Aimee's body is at the bottom of a ravine with a cracked spine. Might save your mom some time." lol… well at least this was one of Katherine's kills.

Tyler is at school, carrying guilt for killing Sarah while looking at missing photos of Aimee. He has no idea that vampires exist, he's gonna assume Caroline is a werewolf. I think it's fantastic what the writers did with Tyler and Caroline. Similar to Stefan when he was in transition and Caroline breaking bottles at the carnival, Tyler is unaware of his own strength. He breaks the lock off his locker without even trying. Jeremy and Stefan realize that Elena is missing. Not just missing, but missing since the masquerade ball because her car is still parked at the Lockwood estate.

I love the lighting in this house where Trevor and Rose are staying. Lit this way because they don't have daylight jewelry. This is a great set to film. The boarding house is a great set, but I love it for Damon's bathroom because I'm a sucker for nice bathrooms. Black clothes, black shades, black gloves, black hat. Trevor look like a badass in his lack of daylight jewelry. Like the brothers, he imagines what Elena tastes like because she looks like Katherine. Rose stops him from sinking his teeth in. Yeah, probably best you don't feed on your ticket to freedom. "Buzzkill." lol… he already sounds like Damon. Rose takes a Damon-like approach. She doesn't want to captor bond with Elena because if she starts to care, she'll give up her freedom to save her. Woman wants her freedom, so she slaps Elena hard enough to put her out.

Stefan can't make up his mind. It's as if he's trying to put Elena's disappearance completely on Damon. He does that a lot... assumes the worst of Damon. He tries to blame him for not putting Katherine in the tomb, to which Damon ensures he put her in the tomb. Stefan then tries to blame him for not taking Katherine's threat seriously, to which Damon explains he doesn't know when to believe her or not because she lies. When Stefan finally accepts the reality that Elena's disappearance isn't on Damon, he believes he can get information from Katherine to rescue her. Obvious that Stefan isn't thinking clearly. Hand Damon a plan that makes sense, and he'll be all for it. He's not gonna turn to Katherine for help because he knows it's pointless.

Caroline starts acting shady with Tyler, pretending like she has no idea he's a werewolf. I feel it's the worst time to play with Tyler, honestly. He finds out that he's supernatural after spending episodes dragging it out of Mason. Now that he's triggered his curse, Mason is gone and he has no one. That's not something he should go through alone, and he's getting upset that Caroline is forcing him to go it alone.

Elena: Who's Elijah? Rose: He's your worst nightmare.

Elena tries to sneak out of the house to escape just like she did with Ben and Anna. Trevor and Rose are an older, stronger duo. Rose warns her that there isn't anything around for miles, so she has nowhere to run. Elena is naive to the fact that neither vampire has daylight jewelry, so she has no idea that they can't leave the house without sheilding themselves as Trevor did. Like Damon, I fell in love with Elijah from the moment he appeared on screen. He's everything I imagine a vampire would be. "Yeah, but Damon's right. She's not gonna tell you anything, not without something in return." Damon is almost always right. Sometimes he's right even when he's wrong, that's how often he's right. Stefan is asking Bonnie to remove the spell on the tomb when that's the entire reason her grams died. Like what? Just as idiotic is the fact that Stefan can think of doing a locator spell when Elena is with Damon in 1x11, but he can't think to do a locator spell in 2x8? Bonnie is the one that has to come up with the idea. Like seriously? I'm glad they didn't write Damon to be this stupid. Bonnie uses Jeremy's blood to do a locator spell on Elena. They're biological cousins, so his blood works. Stefan is bothered just by the sight of Jeremy's blood. He's such a blood junkie. Bonnie's nose starts bleeding because she's using too much power.

"It's Elena." Damon has no problem with good plans. But no, he doesn't want Katherine out of the tomb lol. Tyler is playing basketball when he catches sight of Caroline. omg these confrontations are insane. When he grabs her, she physically assaults him. He's like… you're stronger than me? lol uh, yeah. Tyler is getting pissed because no one will be honest with him, and he's alone in it.

It takes Elena getting abducted for these brothers to take a road trip together even though Damon asked for one back in 1994. So yeah, you can already see how she's bringing them together. Again, Stefan assumes the worst of Damon. "Oh, come on Damon. We both know that you being in this car has absolutely nothing to do with me anyway." I consider him an ass that way most of the time. Why can't Damon be taking that trip for both reasons. Surely Stefan doesn't think he'll rescue Elena by himself.

Stefan also acts an ass about the pros of Damon being in love with Elena. He's basically admitting that he benefits from Damon being in love with her because that means Damon will be helping him protect his girlfriend. But so you know, it's also the beauty of Stefan losing Elena. The problem with Stefan is that he wants to benefit in all ways. He knows that by respecting Elena's choice, she's gonna die by drowning in 3x22. And it's because of Damon's blood that she's gonna survive the drowning. He actually believes he should benefit from that, but he won't. If you let your girlfriend die, then you let your girlfriend die. Damon would rather Elena be alive than have her respect, put it that way.

In this episode, Stefan is literally benefitting from Damon being there because Elijah would've killed him, and Elena would still be handed over to Klaus. Damon being in love with Elena pisses Stefan off, so I have no idea why Stefan would push Damon to get emotional with him about it. The elephant in the room will become an issue later... in a scene where Stefan doesn't stand to benefit from Damon being in love with Elena. He's only happy with it on their road trip because he needs the help to save her.

What I like about Defan's road trip is their "beauty of" parallel. Damon can't walk away from Elena in 2x8 the way Stefan walked away from Damon in 1x5. It's the road trip vs the car wash. You'd have to look back through their scenes to find these parallels, but I will say that Delena is perfectly written in their Beauty of the Dark soundtrack.

Bonnie is so sweet. Jeremy is worrying about Elena, so she has him helping her do a spell to send Elena a message. It's a nice distraction for him. Her nose starts bleeding again, and she passes out when she finishes the spell. Jeremy tries to wake her. "Again with the questions. Haven't the Salvatores been teaching you your vampire history?" The Salvatores don't know about the Originals because Klaus compelled Stefan to forget.

"A hundred years back, a friend of mine tried to set me up with Stefan. She said he was one of the good ones. I'm more of a sucker for the bad boys, though, but I digress."

lol... Elena basically gets the same thing from Rose that she got from Isobel. Why Stefan, why didn't you go for Damon. Every time they use "suck" in their dialogues, I always consider the alternate meaning because vampires are bloodsuckers. So when Rose tells Elena she's more of a sucker for the bad boys... the same can be said for Elena.

"You're the key to breaking the curse." How insane it must be to find out you're the key to breaking a 1000+ year old curse, and breaking it requires you die. Tyler confronts Caroline in her house, slams her against the wall until she reveals her vampire self. That boy is terrified when he sees her fangs lol. They make their female vampires strong as hell, and I love it. "Doppelicious" is a good nickname for Elena, I actually like it. I feel sorry for Trevor and Rose, running for 500 years because of Katherine. With as many people as Katherine pissed off, I'm surprised she didn't have a team of vampires hunting her down. Bonnie is sweet. If Damon knew about Bonnie's weakness, he would protect her more than anything. Not to be rude, but he likes having a witch in his corner. In some ways, I view Bamon's friendship as I view Delena. Just as Damon makes Elena feel like anything is possible, I think Bonnie makes Damon feel like anything is possible. It's the difference in their powers, really. Damon is limited to vampire powers, Bonnie isn't.

Stefan has no idea that Damon is the reason Elena has been feeding him her blood. But Damon does now that Stefan told him. You have to compare this scene to the scene in 2x5 to see it. "I wonder if Elena would be so quick to open her veins to that guy." Ripper Stefan is written alongside 1864 Damon. Just in knowing this, fans should know what Damon does to Elena in season 3. "Yes, Stefan, exactly. Back when you put blood into me so I could be a big bad vampire." This is why Stefan apologizes to Damon at the end of the episode… though not the only reason. I'll explain at the end of the episode. "I guess he found something else to live for." Stefan had 145 years to find something else to live for. His character is beyond ridiculous to me.

Rose: Hey! What are we? Trevor: We're family, forever.

Trevor and Rose are so beautiful. Elena realizes they're scared. When you have 500+ year old vampires scared of a vampire… you have to know something's up. It's because they're scared of Elijah that Elena is scared of Elijah. Elijah was my reason to watch The Originals. I love him almost as much as I love Damon.

Rose: I have her doppelgänger. Elijah: That's impossible, her family line ended with her. I know that for fact.

I always refer to this scene because if not for the tomb being opened, no one would've known about Elena. Technically, Stefan is the reason they found out Katherine survived because he's the reason all the vampires got out. Once those vampires got out, word spread of her suvival. So yes, if not for Stefan going into the tomb, Sheila wouldn't have dropped the seal. Poor Rose doesn't consider Elijah's words because he is a man of his word. He said he would pardon her. He didn't say he would pardon Trevor. This is something Elena picks up on pretty early. "Human. It's impossible."

Damon: Wait, I got a lot more experience than you do with those sorts of things. Stefan: What is your point?

Damon is reasonably terrified of going in to face a vampire that's older than Katherine, more in knowing that they just barely survived her. But that's not Damon's initial point. He flat-out told Stefan that he has more experience with this sort of thing. Stefan plans to storm the place without a plan and without care to his own life. Great to save Elena, but that doesn't require dying. "I can't think of a better reason to die, but if you want to stay here, I'll totally understand." So Stefan again assumes the worst of Damon. In truth, it's not about Damon dying, it's about Damon dying when surviving is just as easy with a plan. Stefan is going in half-cocked like he can't spend five minutes talking strategy... which was the entire reason Bonnie's grams ended up dying ffs. All it took was Elena screaming, and he went in half-cocked like he needed to. It's for this reason, Stefan is likely to die. Just as Damon is emotionally impulsive, Stefan is heroically impulsive. He doesn't think, he doesn't plan, he just does. That's why he was the one that suggested they get help from Katherine to find Elena, and pushed it with Bonnie even though Damon was right. In going after a vampire that even Katherine is terrified of, probably best to have a plan. Otherwise they'll die and lose Elena anyway because they're dead, but Stefan doesn't think that far ahead.

"Please, don't let him take me." This is why Rose wanted Elena to be quiet. She started to care, now she's having a hard time.

They're lucky she dies from a werewolf bite. She would've changed the game, and that's me being honest. Their ages go like this... Rose is older than Pearl, Pearl is older than Katherine.

Elena tries to leverage the moonstone for her freedom. "What is this vervain doing around your neck?" lol… so much for your protection, Stefan. I always refer to this scene whenever I talk about Damon. If he wanted to compel Elena, he could have at any time.

"Excuse me. To whom it may concern. You're making a great mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. Do you hear that? I repeat, you cannot beat me. So I want the girl. On the count of three, or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?"

OMG he's fantastic. I can't help but love him. Damon is busy keeping Rose busy... the sucker for bad boys and the bad boy.

I love Damon's eyes here.

Stefan pulls a football ram on Elijah. When Elijah goes in for the kill, Damon steps in and stakes him with the wooden rack Elijah planned to use on them. Yeah... Damon saves Stefan. You then get a stairwell scene to coincide with Damon's signature moment, the Miss Mystic pageant. And of course, this pretty part...

Jeremy and Bonnie are laying in bed, waiting for Elena to come home. tbh, I'm not a fan of the Jeremy/Bonnie ship. I actually hate them together. But I love the Gilbert sibling hugs.

"You know what? I've never said it out loud." This Defan scene with Stefan's apology pushes Damon's scene with Elena. If he compels it from her memory, then it's as if he never said it out loud. This is where I point out what I was talking about earlier. Stefan is never about Damon. He's about Damon when it's convenient for him. When he apologizes to Damon in 1x14, it's all about finding Elena. When he apologizes to him in this scene, it's all about protecting Elena. Even when he gets the cure for Damon, he leaves town to protect Elena. They even tarnish the hell out of his sacrifice in the series finale. It's not about Damon, it's about Bonnie and Enzo. Stefan never does for Damon simply to do something for his brother. It's always a dual thing for him. So anyway... Damon is gonna take his selfish moment with Elena just as Stefan took his selfish moment with Damon in 1864.

It's a shame that Caroline has to lie to Tyler to protect Damon and Stefan. She's really trying to help him, yet she's not actually helping him. It's such a difficult position to be in, you know?

"Lexi once told me that you're one of the good ones." Rose reveals that it was Lexi who tried to hook her up with Stefan. That's your open and close of the episode. "A hundred years back, a friend of mine tried to set me up with Stefan. She said he was one of the good ones. I'm more of a sucker for the bad boys, though, but I digress." Rose talks to Stefan because, well... Damon is at Elena's house. But also because he's the bad brother, so she's not sure what to make of him yet. Better she talk to the good brother. Once Damon staked Elijah, Elena had to stop him from going after Rose. But yeah, Rose admitted she knows of them, but she doesn't know them. You can see the obvious differences in Damon. He cares more about Rose abducting Elena than he did with Anna abducting Elena. He hadn't fallen in love with her yet. That's why he's willing to kill Rose simply for abducting Elena lol. So Rose is there to tell Stefan it's not over. It's just getting started.

"I don't need your help, but I think you need mine. Elijah may be dead, but this isn't over. It isn't over. The originals, they'll come for her. They have to. They're doing it for him. Klaus."

Rose is so damn fantastic. She's there to help protect Elena, period.

Damon's not gonna let what happened with Katherine happen with Elena, so he can't be selfish with her. It's because he can't be selfish with Elena that he compels her to forget. The compulsion itself, a selfless act. He leaves her with only one thing... the necklace that represents hope for her and Stefan. If you don't know why I'm saying all this, I'll make it real simple... Elena basically relives her birthday on her deathday by remembering this compulsion. That's why he cries when he compels her. "I knew how much it hurt him. But he did it."

I feel the soundtrack and the kiss on the forehead is all about 2x1. And they switch it up. In this scene, it's Damon's soundtrack. When she remembers it in 4x1, it's Elena's soundtrack. Damon's selflessness is specific. He's not gonna let Elena come between him and his brother the way Katherine did... which is the point. It isn't Damon who lets Elena come between them, it's Stefan. That's why you get this...

Stefan: We let Katherine come between us. If we let that happen with Elena, we're not gonna be able to protect her. Klaus: You know, Stefan blames me for trying to tear him from his brother. But I think we both know who really came between them. You.

Damon will be able to protect her BECAUSE he didn't let her come between them. That's what Dr. Fell is for. What you eventually get is two fake deaths... Katherine's, then Elena's. Just as Klaus gets his hands on Katherine in season 2, he gets his hands on Elena in season 3.

Yeah, that kill was too easy lol... get ready for the Originals.

[murfpersonalblog]

You definitely did your job right, Rolin, cuz wtf. Yes, 2x5 was a tour de force of acting & writing, bravo bravo. But 2x7 keeps me up at night, istg. 👌 That Trial pisses me right off, and I'm disgusted by how accurate 2x2 was about the audience being COMPLICIT, cuz this rancid fandom's been proving Santiago right every dang day.

And some of that IMO is the writing's fault, where things aren't messy for the sake of drama & good tv, but are messy as part of the strike's fallout. I truly hope they've been taking fans' feedback & critiques to heart, cuz people are running around with all kinds of conclusions & assumptions about 2x7 and 2x8 that y'all need to address in S3.

I'm glad he's aware that some of the writing makes no effing sense.

I never liked using memory is the monster as a crutch for plot holes & retcons, but I commend Rolin for the clever things he did do despite the strikes & budget/production issues, to still stick the landing in S2. We'll have to see where S3 takes it, but i do have faith that if anyone can pull it off, Rolin can.

"Everybody in the [writer's] room relives their worst fight with someone they shouldn’t have been in love with but wanted to be." I love this. Cuz people wanna act like this show isn't a deliberately literal mirror of IRL relationships, and the monsters within us that make us say "ugly words." That's GOTHIC literature 101. It's not subtle at all. The absence of metaphor is so striking.

You pissed off EVERYONE--me included--and I love you for it, RJ. Is this the best vampire show I've ever seen? Not quite--Bram Stoker's Dracula is near & dear to my heart; and Castlevania S1 was a revelation. But this is HANDS DOWN the best fantasy book adaption I've seen since Lord of the Rings. IWTV's way better than Game of Thrones (I hear House of the Dragon is mid AF, which I expected). This is "harder to swallow" cuz it puts the onus on lazy AF viewers to not turn their brains off & put in actual legwork to look things up themselves. (Plus there's Bipoc leads, which also grates racists. I guarantee that S3 will have a very different reception since Lestat's the lead.)

Yaaaas~! SUFFER!

AMC should 100% release the full footage of the plays on their website or on Youtube or SOMETHING, wtf!? I thought the plays were so cool! WEIRD, ofc, but so cool!

STFU, Rolin--you should ABSOLUTELY do Forrest Gump, LOL. XD Y'all had Sartre eavesdropping on Loumand, and Lestat ghostwriting for Jelly Roll Martin, and Tom Anderson thirsting after Louis--PLEASE keep going, you sicko, yaaas~!

It's so sad that Rolin keeps repeating this, that he thought AMC would cancel them. WTF is going on over there? Y'all spent all this money buying AR's estate--RJ also often talks about their budget issues--just to cancel it? WHY? And why TF has it taken y'all so long to get on other streaming platforms like Netflix? The business moves & marketing has been dog trash since Day One, and it boggles my mind. But thank god AMC's going forward with it--they'd be dumb AF to let this diamond slip through their fingers, just cuz it's not doing HotD numbers.

This makes me feel most insane of all. ROBBED, I tell you!

[99flare99]

House of the Dragon 2x8🐲

Honestly, this second season (apart from one or two episodes) bored me a lot! I definitely liked the first season more! I found this one really slow and repetitive making me lose interest in the series.

I haven't read the book it's based on but I'll watch a possible third season just to see if it can change my mind. If it doesn't happen I think I'll abandon it...
