thinking about how the "im sorry i ruined everything" conversation between juliette and margot is probably almost the same one margot and davina had the first time they saw each other after margot ran from her wedding but with drastically different endings
Before Margot met Sebastian and before Talia met Jack, they knew each other, they fell in love with each other and all is well until Davina meets Talia and wipes her memory of every trace of Margot.
Margot isn’t so lucky, Davina decides to punish her with the knowledge that this woman would exist and live and never know who she was to her. The knowledge that Talia could pass her on the street and would not so much as blink.
• More Calliope and Jules protecting each other it’s very cute and I can’t get enough.
• Burns and Atwood-Fairmont families unite please it would be so good.
• Elinor and Apollo.. yes I ship it. They are kinda perfect for each other. No further comments at this time.
• I want the moms to spend time with the other’s daughters. Talia and Jules Margot and Calliope. A little mother in law daughter date very adorable highly favored.
• Obviously a deeper dive into their connection and what other powers it gives them besides the dreams and hearing the others thoughts.
• Jules and maybe even Calliope get their own powers of some sort. Elinors mind control is sick and I love it so would like more of this.
• Theo maybe chooses to stay a vampire, I don’t know why he would ever do that but I think one of the Burns family being a vampire and it not obviously being Cal is just a neat little treat.
• Someone stops Oliver and his shifty witch girlfriend who’s name I can’t remember.
• Theme song stays the same - stay mad!
• Ben remains safe and gets a cute boyfriend
• Maybe Tess comes back for revenge tries to kill Juliette
• The picnic and photos from the intro need to happen I would love them setting each other as there background scream.
i figured out why first kills pacing felt off and its because it all felt like a pilot, like how we didnt get too much development of the characters, most of it happening to calliope and juliette (which makes sense) and then theo and talia at the end, and the "big conflict" of the guild versus legacies fell flat without any follow through, they didnt kill any of the legacies during the mission/raid thing and no one really got captured/killed for long, by either side, a lot of this sets up a lot of questions that I want answered in a second season, but it also leaves a lot of open ends that leave the season falling kinda flat and feeling unfinished, like it was a pilot episode or the first half of a season rather than a full season by itself, it feels like they lost focus part way through writing and forgot to wrap up a lot of the season one plot lines
I’m curious as to why Juliette wasn’t taught to hide bodies before her first kill because the reasoning cannot be that her parents do not kill to survive if only because they DON’T have Elinor’s mind control power. Juliette says that their parents don’t kill to survive and they are shocked and horrified for Elinor to have been doing what she did and even sent Oliver away for being a killer, but if they don’t have mind control and don’t have “willing donors” like the visiting family does so how else would they be feeding without killing people? Not because they wouldn’t be able to stop or whatever, but because if they don’t drain them then the person they bit could easily tell others that they are vampires
Like Margot and Sebastian each deal with the first kill a little differently but both want her to do it and expect her to and then they also expect to take part in a ritual where they hunt a girl for sport. Killing doesn’t seem to be a big deal to them except in the context of exposure. That is why Oliver is sent away and why they are leaving Elinor to her own devices, but then why not teach Juliette how to properly dispose of bodies to avoid exposure?
The best guess I have is that Oliver seemed so violent to them and then Elinor seemed perfect without them even doing anything so they likely didn’t even think it was something they needed to teach which should have been their warning sign that Elinor wasn’t all she presented herself as
Of course Juliette wouldn’t know how to do this properly without instruction or without trying and failing before especially when she is resistant to even going through with her first kill in the first place
There is also the other end of this though. That their parents did suspect something being off about Elinor and they already had to deal with Oliver and they feared that if they taught Juliette about any of the other components to being a vampire they would end up with another child filled with murderous intent, unconcerned about the harm they may leave in their path
