YOU GUYS. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. EPISODE 1X19. WHAT.
Okay, this episode started as nothing special. Blah, blah, Stefan's on the human blood again, Elena's magically on some stupidHomecoming Rose Parade Miss Mystic Falls court, Bonnie's back and being all step off, etc.
And then. AND THEN. Stefan's nowhere to be found, and DAMON STEPS IN TO BE ELENA'S PARTNER. OMG. AND THE DANCING. AND THE MUSIC. AND THE DANCING. AND THE LOOKING. AND THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait, did I mention that already?
It was such awesomeness SO OUT OF THE BLUE! I mean, as I've been complaining about, there's barely any Damon/Elena on this show, really. And then they give us this!! And even better is that Stefan was being all creepy and biting Amber and looking awful, and everyone's looking up to Damon! LOL, so awesome.
Edit: Here's the scene on YouTube. I don't know if it's good totally out of context, but it literally made my jaw drop when it happened, because it's like the first really overt romantic Damon/Elena thing that's happened IN 19 EPISODES. I wasn't expecting it at all. Scene setting: Stefan's supposed to be escorting Elena, but he's off having a meltdown, so Damon, who doesn't do anything nice for anyone, steps in.
And then, of course, it goes right back to status quo in the next episode. I mean, yes, there are a few moments of Damon/Elena cuteness (putting her feet in his lap, talking to each other on the phone), but as usual, Elena's not torn at all. She's All About Stefan, which is just so meh. But whatevs, obviously she has no taste.
I love Damon and Alaric together, though. I actually enjoy Alaric a lot, even though he has those annoying "human guy who knows about vampires" tendencies that they seem to always have. Maybe it's Matt Davis.
I generally don't like those "blast to the past" scenes in this show (they're not as good as the BtVS universe), but I did enjoy it this time. Very interesting/cool that Damon was ready to die, and it was all because of Stefan that he became a full-fledged vampire.
It's just so wrong/sad that Damon keeps getting rejected, by Katherine and by Elena, when HE is actually the devoted one. And they keep harping on how evil/bad he is, but it's like, maybe he wouldn't be if people didn't keep screwing him over! Maybe if Katherine or Elena loved him back (instead of inexplicably choosing the less-attractive brother), he would have a reason to be better, the way we see he can be with Elena! Frankly, if he were like that all the time, he still wouldn't be defanged or neutered or anything, he'd just be more like fanfic!Draco -- still looking out for #1, but with more indifference and less inclined to be randomly malevolent.
Anyway. I need to start downloading S2 eps.
K. and I went to Tilth last night and it was so good. The desserts were nothing special, but the cauliflower flan, pumpkin soup, and ahi tuna were fabulous. It's a good deal, too, considering their 5-course tasting menu costs $60/person. O.o
I'm thinking of getting a wool comforter to supplement/replace my down comforter, because of the coldness. Anyone have experience with those? Last night both pets were pressed right up against me, I think because of the chill. It's nice in some ways, but it does also make me feel trapped -- I often make small adjustments in sleep, and now when I do it I get a complaint either in the form of a growl or a meow. -.-
I finally decided on the fried chicken dinner at Spring Hill for my bday dinner, except when I called to make the reservation I was told that they're booked up on the fried chicken dinner until FEBRUARY. What the hell. This is what happens when other people find out about my local favorites. Now I have to think of something else. Grrrr.
