I've seen several reviews of this episode with the complaint that it was boring when compared to the premise of the episode. It's hard not to compare mystery islands when Boone is sharpening a machete on the beach in the opening shot. The characters did seem to be in stasis, fatalistic relationship talk excepted. The exposition dump was particularly heavy this week which makes me think that this is more of a launching point for the downhill toboggan ride of lunacy that is traditional at the end of a Vampire Diaries season. I skipped the whole Klaus semi-murdering Caroline bit because every beat was telegraphed by prior information and none of it was surprising.
Touché
Woof. That one was tricky. I missed my deadline by 30 minutes but the comic is finally up. The main delay was trying to boil Jeremy and Elena's relationship down to a short conversation. Especially a funny conversation, because let's face it, in the real world the Gilbert kids would both be cutters. Poor things.
Before going to bed my husband tried to convince me to make the punchline "Bull Sperm". As in:
"Jeremy, do what I say or I will tell everyone that you got your ridiculously massive arms from injecting Bull Sperm."
History will tell which of us was ultimately correct.
