This was a big episode! To be totally honest I didn't see the ending coming, and kudos to the writers for that!
Best Damon Line: This episode did lack in witticism from our dear snarky hunk of a vamp, but where Damon lacked in sarcasm he made up for in pure heartbreaking facial expressions. I love this vamp, and I felt his agony in the fact that Katherine was not in the tomb-- didn't see that one coming. I probably should have, but I couldn't imagine the boys not being aware of her or running into her at some point in all these years since the tomb has been closed.
best line of the night from Damon:
"Fool me once, shame on you."Hottest Stefan Moment: Once again I give out a "Most like a Buffy show" award-- when he picked up that fire blaster and aimed it at Sean Ferris (no clue what his character name was--oh, Ben)Holy crap! He was so hot!
Biggest Surprise of the Epi:I think that the whole tomb experience was a bit of a shock-- I've been wondering what would actually happen, what the experience would actually be when the tomb was open. I thought it was true to vampire lore that the trapped vamps were just wasted shells of them self and yet still alive. I think the tomb scenes were done well-- The big shocker of the epi was the fact that: KATHERINE WAS NOT IN THE TOMB! And even more crazy, she has been around, just wanting/caring to see Damon. I am positive that there is more to it than that, but that's what we are to believe at this moment, since that is what Damon is feeling/thinking.
Other Observations: I got a strong Bells/Twilight feeling when Jeremy got up from his bed at the end of the epi and started a google search on vampires. I wanted some crazy Twilighty soundtrack music to be playing in the background.
Discussion Question: I think we are all wondering about Katherine and what the story is with her-- BUT I find myself wondering about Bonnie and how the death of her grandma will affect her after she has died from doing a spell she pretty much begged/pleaded her grandma to do even when she didn't want to/ What are all your thoughts on that? Do you think Bonnie will turn all Bad witch on us, like "Black Evil Willow (buffy reference)?
