Writing about this because I feel like I haven't blogged all week!
Anyway, Tyler Lockwood ♥♥♥
I loved Tyler in this episode because he was a true leader. When he had a plan for breaking the hybrids free of Klaus it didn't consist of having them offer themselves up, he was going to do it himself. True leadership is often about being a servant first and ugh, Tyler. He is consistently willing to sacrifice himself to protect others and he gets so little credit for it!! Which only makes me love him more. He is my favorite character on the show right now which is so weird because, tbh, I rarely have males as favorite characters. But I'm rooting for him.
Other observations:
*When Jeremy went to hug Elena, I legit thought he was going to kiss her.
*I'm a little fuzzy on why they needed to kill HYBRIDS instead of humans, but whatevs.
*Stefan is getting worse and worse each week. Also I don't really get why Caroline told him about Elena and Damon and also it's just kind of gross that the show spent that time to show him being upset over the fact that they slept together, ew. Also feeling sorry for Klaus??? The truth is that he has brought nothing but horror into their lives and Caroline has not done nearly as many bad things as you, Stefan!!!
*The problem with the show for me right now and the reason why I'm rooting for Tyler is that I understand his motivations and his morality. I don't really understand the motivations or thinking of anyone else. Or I do, but I don't like them, lol. I wish the show, for example, would have let the cure be a storyline solely for Stefan without him wanting to fix "Elena." I wish that Bonnie could embrace dark magic on her own. I wish Jeremy could grapple with his feelings without it being a hunter's curse or whatever. (although, you know, they did the same thing with Alaric last season) I don't get why no one is thinking about how Klaus just wants to turn Elena human so he can make more hybrids which is directly against Elena's best interests and also theirs. Like it's all so freaking selfish and shortsighted, I don't get why I'm supposed to care.
*aw poor Carol. I guess Teen Wolf is a better gig! And in other news...Tyler is all alone now just like Klaus.
*I should have realized that April constantly asking about Rebekah had a purpose. How fun that she went to undagger her! It's interesting that both Rebekah and Elena saw themselves in April, but Rebekah is the one April trusts/likes. I really HOPE TO GOD that Rebekah is over her Klaus love.
Anyway, sorry guys, this episode was entertaining enough but I just feel like the plot is barely holding together for me. Like, I almost feel like I did last season when we'd been hearing about Michael as this big bad vampire hunter and then he was killed in an episode. (the hybrid rebellion reminded me of that--all over now)
Anyway feel free to tell me how you felt about the episode, Damon breaking the sire bond, etc.

The Vampire Diaries 4x09
Logging you in...
I'm really shocked the show had Damon break the sire bond. I hope Elena gets to do fun stuff now. I haven't completely decided what fun stuff she should do -- I was hoping she'd be the one to teach Jeremy how to kill vampires, but I guess Damon is better qualified. But yeah. Elena needs a plotline of her very own. Can her plotline be finding the cure first so she can destroy it BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE KLAUS'S BLOODBAG?
I hope so, because that would be awesome, but I do not trust this show to ever let Elena be free from loving the brothers :/
FEELINGS. Michael was in the same room as I watched this and I said something along the lines of, "Typical TVD, killing off half the cast." I'm a little fuzzy on the whys of a lot of things, also, but I think this episode was a lot better than recent ones. Mostly, I loved how April went to rescue Rebekah, because I like Rebekah even when she is being ridiculous and I like April and I want to see them have an awesome friendship. And finally! Someone just loves Rebekah. Maybe Rebekah can move on from her most annoying character trait, the "no one loves me so I am going to obsess over Klaus" one. Anyway, I didn't get the Klaus sympathy either, except from Stefan. Caroline? I think she just likes him a little bit, despite her best judgement. Stefan HAS done horrible things, but he also feels bad about them, which is the huge difference, not family or trust. Also, I thought Caroline was supposed to be Stefan's anger sponsor or whatever? Why would she do that to him? Blech.
All in all, though, I liked Tyler a lot more in this episode than I typically do and I'm sad his mom is gone. Also sad that he was betrayed, but I'm even more interested to see where his character goes. Double excited for Rebekah! Now, if only they'll bring back Katherine. Would Katherine and Rebekah be best friends? Or awful enemies? I hope the would be evil besties.

Yessss April going to rescue Rebekah was awesome. I read something about how Rebekah will want revenge on Stefan so i can channel all my Stefan rage through that and hope she succeeds!

lolll yes, he has vampire guilt. Actually, I did think it was kind of interesting the way he identified with Klaus and tried to figure out what made them different but I just didn't like the way he dragged Caroline into it, bc Caroline is genuinely better than him and doesn't really need to be taught how to hate herself more the way Stefan hates himself. Ugh, I really don't like the Steroline relationship this season bc all the cuteness is gone and instead it's just kind of weird and dry and full of Caroline ratting out Elena and Tyler to Stefan.
lol I know so few ppl who like Tyler but I"ll take what i can get!

I didn't get to see this episode until last night...and am totally and completely confused. It's almost like the writers said, Ok, let's just wipe the slate clean (literally and figuratively) and start over. What?? I'm tired of this "cure" thing...I've said it before and I'll say it again: If Elena gets "cured," I'm done with this show. Not bc I like her as a vampire or anything like that...but vampires have been around for a long, long time...and I've been loving the stories for as long as I can remember. Never once do I remember a cure. It's just not supposed to be that way. Dumb, if you ask me.
I also think the sire bond thing is stupid. Now that Damon has broken the bond, what happens to Elena's real feelings...which we all know she had even before she became a vampire. I'm a little frustrated...can you tell?

I read an interview with Julie Plec that seriously made me think Elena might get cured, IDK. What a weird and bizarre choice!
