I thought she owned it until she died when Klaus sacrificed her, and then nobody owned it again. Though if that's the case why the deeds haven't been handed off to some other living human, or re-deeded back to Elena somehow, is a moot question.

Does the alter ego know that killing an Original kills its bloodline? It would seem to know what Alaric knows even if he doesn't know what it knows, otherwise how would it know what the stake was and where to find it? So… yeah, this ought to be fun. Why go after the Founders Council if you can just root out the whole…

She didn't know there was any plan afoot to kill Originals, she didn't know about the white oak that survived, she's been out of the loop enough recently that I'd be surprised if she even knows there was any white oak left at all. As far as she was concerned, all she was going to get out of faking the spell was…

I think he's properly psychopath. I need to look up the correct definition but given that there are a lot of sociopaths on this show (notably Damon), Klaus stands out as super disconnected and homicidal. (Er… vamp/wolf/person-icidal. But not horses.)

I was actually okay with her apparent lack of concern afterwards because she's been going out of her way to avoid Damon ever since the Original Ball. Which makes sense given that she said she didn't mean what she said to him there, but she can't exactly tell him that or apologise without opening a whooooole lot of…

It's weirdly safe and enjoyable horror, somehow. Horror usually makes me cower behind the sofa (I am still not sure if I'm going to see Cabin in the Woods out of creator loyalty or not), and yet somehow in TVD I enjoy the suspenseful chases through the night-time woods and I loved when Elijah was the unstoppable…

What everyone else has said: TVD is not another Angel. It's fun, it's a good ride and it occasionally attempts to have character arc, but it's got no central messages to deliver and it doesn't really care about following through on most stuff. It's enjoyable, but it will never break my heart with pain and make me love…

Ohhh. Yeah, nice point. That gives a motivation for his return that I always felt was lacking. I kind of wish the show had brought that out as a point, but I'm happy enough with it as head canon.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! Yup. It's a theory that makes sense to me.

I agree, it's the only way for her to keep a bit of distance and self-respect. I don't think it's going to happen, though: far more dramatic fun to keep her there and have them disintegrate in front of everyone.

Question that I cannot find an answer to by easy googling: was 'Beanz Meanz Heinz' a famous ad campaign in the US, or was that just a UK thing? Because as it came out in 1967, it would make sense as the thing that trumps Peggy's idea (just, but close enough), but I can't seem to find any US references to it online…

Ooh, yeah, nice catch. Of course, Peggy had the sense to go off Pete a bit at that point. I wonder whether Megan will do the same… she doesn't seem like the sort to become a Jane-style trophy wife for display without a fight.

I'm suddenly correlating the baby's ass scene and the Megan crawling around on the floor showing her ass scene. So yeah, now I'm disturbed…

My only problem with it (and the reason the episode leaves a slightly bad taste in my mouth) is that I really think it should have been his real dad. The cyborg thing makes little sense and undoes what was an excellent emotional punch. For me anyway… I guess I just felt it wouldn't have changed Wes's character too…

I don't love either of these two episodes (Damage is the first A+ for me in s5), but I still enjoy them plenty. But then, we always nitpick the ones we love…

I had an interesting conversation with a friend once about whether Drusilla maybe sires people a bit wrong given that she is, you know, batshit insane. Because Spike pre-souling is a monster, sure, but a monster who feels love and has emotions that can be hurt: unlike Angelus or Darla, who exhibit something closer to…

My personal shipper-y hope is that the Damon/Elena stuff might be working its way around to the point where Elena is pushing Damon for more involvement in his life, rather than vice versa as we've always seen before. I think Damon really believed her lack of interest in his confession of love, but I think she's kind…

That's really true, and I hadn't noticed it at all. On the one hand, I kind of like Elena finally getting a little breather from Salvatore obsession, but to have everyone else single or just having random hookups all the time… well, it goes against one of the biggest strengths of this show, which is forging…

Veronica had previously 'confessed' that she loves unicorns (forget when, but at some point when Keith tries to see what's on her computer screen and for some unknown but amazing reason her laptop's desktop is covered in them. It also kind of fits with her 'you got me a pony?!' jokes and all. I don't know, I love…
