    Wow. I was sort of on edge these past few eps not sure if I wanted to keep watching Damon mope ove Elena. BUt whoah! this episode really captivated me back. If Bonnie sacrifices herself, that would be really dramatic way to end the season. I hope it goes that way.
    Isobel, I had figured she had been compelled when she started talking to Kat, but her demise was actually surprising to me. But, I think it was a good way for her to go.
    ALARIC! OMG! I really, really, really, can't wait to see what happens next. He seems to be doomed for sure, but I really don't want him to go. I love Alaric. I really do.
    And finally, Matt. I have to give the guy more credit now. He is in the game!I was not expecting that fom him.

    John being the good guy in this actually gained him some respect for him. Just a little. I can learn not to hate him like Elena.

    Final note; I want Tyler back. Like. Now.

    First off, fantastic episode in my opinion. It was focused on the characters I like to watch, and there were lots of Katherine scenes, which as I've said before is always a plus in my opinion. Nina Dobrev just flows back and forth between Elena and Katherine so effortlessly it seems.

    On the topic of Katherine though and as far as more deaths go...I still think there is a good chance Katherine will be one of those to bite it...(sorry couldn't resist). Again, I know how loosely the show follows the book (and what a huge understatement that is), but Katherine died there, and I see that possibly happening here. As much as I love the Katherine character and would rather see her stick around, it seems more likely to me that she may not see the light of Season 3 this fall.

    Wow what an awsome episode,made me have cold chills.Always leaves me wanting more.Best show on tv........

    It was an amazing episode....those writers do not disappoint! I know there is an actor set to play Klaus I've seen him so at some point he has to take his own form...maybe Alaric is going to die and that's when Klaus will have to appear in his own form. I did think it was an awesome twist...they should have made Alaric Klaus the whole time. But think about it....there really isn't a need for his role, the sheriff's role or even Tyler's mother's role on the show so maybe those charachters will get killed off. Who knows. All I know...I love this show!

  5. Mel

    I'm still confused about of being captured? Why?
    Also where is Tyler!

  6. emma

    Hated there were no Delena scenes. Want Matt to die now, where is Tyler! Love the upcoming Delena scenes, they get CLOSE yay! Loved the Bonnie and Jeremy scenes. Confusing epi at first

    @ ally: i also thought it was klaus who compelled her to kill herself. this would be more like isobel. she made it clear she doesn't care about anyone but her, so why kill herself.

    when i watched it i also thought that alaric was actually klaus. i would not have liked it for alaric, but it would have been an awesome twist, who would have expected that? and it would explain, why NOBODY knows where he is. klaus being able to occupy someones body sounds soo far off!

    but overall i LOVED the episode!!!

    This episode was absolutly amazing !! Although i didn't like isobel dying so soon. I really liked her caracter !! But if she is one of the 3 deads i'm willing to sacrifice her :p still would have liked it if elena and her would bond, i think deep down she loved her daughter.

    Poor alaric i think he won't survive this.

    And what about Matt OMG can we have tyler back already ??

  10. Kimmence

    Yeah i feel the same way i miss Dammon and Elena scene so much, i was looking forward to it aswell :(

    Am I the only one who misses that damon-elena scene in the preview ?? Did the cut it again like the others ?? well that´s annoying.. i was so looking forward to what will happen with them.. :(

    Team ♥♥Delena♥♥

    i thought it was a part of klaus' compulsion as well (that isobel killed herself). i rewatched that part and i realised that the man she spoke to on the phone said : you've done everything that klaus compelled you to do (or something along those lines), which suggests that her death wasn't a part of klaus' compulsion.
    to me, it just seemed prudent that klaus would finish the isobel-part of the plan with her death, cutting off loose ends.
    and since isobel didn't seem to hesitate when she ripped off her necklace, that too made it seem like it wasn't her choice...

    on another note, i won't be happy if alaric is killed off. i just realised that, i thought i didn't care about him. it makes sense that he dies though, but now i feel that he really shouldn't. i also believe elena will die but come back, or someone will die and become a vampire.
    btw could bonnie become a vampire? and would she lose her witchy powers if that were to happen? but i guess she really wouldn't choose to feed, as

    What a great episode. I think Isobel is the only character who left such a huge impact by beeing in only 2 episodes. Kind of pity that she died. Couldn't they have let Jeremy die ? That guy is so annoying and I can't stand him with Bonnie.

    I actually like this episode. Another key character will be Alaric because they will kill him trying to kill Klaus but Klaus will already be in his body by now.

  15. S

    Alaric is so much hotter now.

  16. rose

    @ally: i agree with you. i feel like Klaus compelled her to kill herself, and she didnt do it purposely. it would make more sense since it is Klaus.
    and i feel like Isobel is a SOLID character because although she doesnt have a lot of screentime, her presence is often felt in the show and she has importance to Elena, Kat, and John. and i hope this is one of the three deaths or else its too heartbreaking to see 3 more charaters to die...i really liked Isobel though!

  17. Ally

    Maybe it was just me or was I the only one who felt that Isobel ripped off her necklace, not as a selfless sacrafice, but because she had done her part and Klaus had no more need for her?

    i just finished watching the 17th installment.. and all i can say is 'wow..'
    there's a lot of jaw dropping moment..
    1st when Kat n Isobel met, i was like.. 'what a bitch!' hehehehehe..
    2nd when Isobel n that Big scary dude kidnap Alaric, n i said 'f**king bitch! how could she!!'
    3rd when Isobel chums John's throat, 'well, that jerk deserved it..but, what the hell she wants more??!!..'
    4th when Isobel rips her magic necklaces, well, she's so selfish to have her own daughter witness her death like that..
    5th jaw dropping is when Matt get into that patrol car!! i know they both must be devastating over Vicky's death and Caroline's situation..
    6th the most shocking was when that big scary dude, which turn.out a Wiccan, bow to Alaric!! n i i thought, 'OMG!!! is Alaric actually Klauss???'..well, turn out, Klauss using some mumbo-jumbo to occupied Alaric's body..

    hmmm...wonder what would happened with Jenna & Alaric then..
    wonder what would Jeremy do, after he knows that Bonnie

  19. Deedee

    Yey, Matt Davis gets to act again! lol who knew he would go from Alaric, who hasn't really been given much stuff this season, to Klaus?? Like, awesome!!

    *If you are reading the series and have not read past the third book don't read*


    Actually from what i remember from the books (all though they are vert different in the way plot points and the characters are played out versus the show) elena does die at the end of the third book before returning to the books at the end of the fourth one. so i think alaric, elena, and katherine all die. And its just like TVD to have an ending to the second season like that.

    There really was no negative part, it's just my interpretation of the ratings scale. If I'm going to give something 5/5 stars it's going to have to be a life-altering TV event. This episode, while superb, felt like it was more of a lead-in to such an event ... season finale perhaps?

  22. San

    When "solid characters" means "characters with more screentime" Isobel doesn't count, that's true.... so maybe Bonnie, Alaric, Matt?

    You say it's such a good episode but what was the negative part that held you back from giving it a five stars?
    It was such a good episode I was so impressed when Isobel outsmarted the KAT. And Alaric seems like a random choice for a Klaus mind body switch, Nonetheless im happy for the actor getting more screen time. Also for a second i Thought Matt was talking to Klaus in the car, seeing that longish hair lol! Great set up episode gearing for the finale can't wait!

  24. Sarah

    I'd put money on Sheriff Forbes and Alaric being the next to die.
