Episode type: monster of the week.

Episode rating: 👽👽👽.5

My enjoyment: 👽👽👽👽.5

Overall score: 👽👽👽👽

MSR: 🐝🐝🐝🐝

Favourite character: mulder & scully.

Favourite scene: in the police station where all the guns start going off.

Favourite quote: “Why do you always have to drive? Because you’re the guy? you’re the big macho man?” “No I was never sure your little feet could reach the pedals.”

My thoughts:

I still really like small town xfiles and I like it when it’s just kids causing the stuff that’s happening just because their kids. I really like this episode and it definitely came about because of the success of DM’s comedic episodes, CC wanted to join in with that and while they’re not anywhere near the same level this style of comedy is fine.

I live for mulder and scully being snappy with each other. It’s not occ at all for me. While this is probably an amplified version of that they definitely get irritated with each other all the time, they have to, they’re around each other so much. One says something, the other snaps, and it’s dead silent for a while until someone asks if the other wants to get food and they’re friends again. I love that.

Apparently this was CC’s attempt at saying ms were platonic. Huh? Did we watch the same episode?

Running commentary:

* I call this ep Ziggy cause fuck do I know how to pronounce syzygy.

* I live for them bickering so much.

* “Maybe we’re just imagining that.”

* Scully’s so angry 😂

* “Sure, fine, whatever.”

* “Rigid in a wonderful way.” even when planets are messing with their emotions (?) he’s still gotta find some way to compliment her.

* Creg.

* Being crushed by bleachers is a horrible way to go 😖

* I will never understand the “snapping on the latex” line.

* Scully’s gonna kill that man 😂

* Scully might actually kill them all.

* SMELLING HER!!

* Ew what is mulder putting in his drink.

* Scully smoking is the hottest thing ever.

* Scully definitely replays arguments to herself when she’s in the shower or something 😂

* Rip kitty.

* Mulder 😞 he said no.

* “Why do you always have to drive? Because you’re the guy? you’re the big macho man?” “No I was never sure your little feet could reach the pedals.”

* A cosmic g spot.

* RIP Scott.

* Bit of dead bird on your windshield.

* Hunting satanists.

* “Put that gun down!” X2.

* I wonder what happened to Terri and Margi after this. They killed all those people after all.

* Scully moving the seat forward 😂 I wanna see Mulder bunched up after getting in after scully.

I will choose to believe this means they are already broken up :)

(also let’s pretend yam is standing with jim and not ramiro)

3x01

Isn’t Elena’s birthday in June? She said Ric spent half the summer on the couch but that would mean it’s gotta be late July early August, right? (don't know why I'm even trying to make sense of this show's timeline)

I forgot that A Drop in the Ocean was played during a montage and included Forwood sexy time! What a moment. When I first watched the show the Stefan and Elena scene at the end is when I actually started shipping Stelena, it was the first time I really felt like they truly loved each other (song helped too because WHAT A SONG I always sing-a-long). I didn't feel that same buzz this time though, but maybe too much time as passed (and that damn scene in 6x02 saying this was when Elena fell in love with Damon takes a lot away from my old feels). I'm getting such a buzz from Forwood though!

3x02

Elena’s getting on my damn nerves with this stupid rescue mission in the woods during a full moon… I don’t understand how Ric and Damon agreed. I fail to see any reason for this nonsense plan.

3x03

The moment in the 20s flashbacks when Stefan is looking at Rebekah while Klaus is talking to him and then he turns and looks at Klaus with the biggest heart eyes I have ever seen him use how am I supposed to not ship it? The way they keep using "brother" to hide the extremely heavy gay subtext too I S2G. If this show was made 10 years later on a better network with better writers that subtext would be straight-up text! Think Louis and Lestat on AMC's Interview with the Vampire. In that just world I would have gotten canon Klefaroline dammit!

3x04

Caroline is a much better person than I because she's protecting her Dad meanwhile I'm counting down the episodes until he drops dead.

Stefan is really off his game (happens when he's too emotional about something) I cannot believe he got out-manipulated by Rebekah one of the most easily manipulated characters on this show. Pathetic really.

As soon as Beremy started being cute the writers start fucking it up for Bonnie. Makes me madder watching it all over again and how much they never give Bonnie the devoted love interests like Caro and Elena. And I like Jeremy and Anna but I’m so annoyed at this whole storyline in how it’s treating Bonnie I can’t even enjoy it. GFY Julie.

3x05

Completely forgot Bill Forbes taught himself how to resist compulsion (IDK why too it's a big plot point oops) and I can't believe none of these idiots bothered to learn how. I like to believe Caroline did and there's a class at the Salvatore Boarding School that teaches it.

The gym buzzer countdown was a nice touch lol.

3x06

I like that Rebekah narrowed in on Caroline and was like “you, I want your life” because she sees the vision and the potential! In all seriousness though I wonder if Rebekah having an interest in Caroline is why the writers picked Caroline to be the love interest for Klaus (since it parallels with them and Stefan in the '20s). Things that make me go hmmm.

I'm with Ric and Caroline, every time I see or hear about Damon and Elena I was to scream "stop molesting her!" UGH! He is always invading her personal space and it annoys me! The part where Elena said Damon needed to use his charm to distract Rebekah and Ric said "better luck finding a dagger" and you see Caro in the background laughing was the best.

Kinda happy to get a break from Klaus for a few episodes, he's just so one-dimensional during this time period and frankly annoying.

3x06 made me laugh so much even though I'm not sure I was supposed to laugh as much as I did. I mean Ripper Stefan is never not funny (a jerk but a hilarious jerk) but the scene were Ripper Stefan and 1,000 year old Rebekah are sitting in Ric's HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY CLASS just kills me, like what even is this show. Also laughed at Tyler being a "d-bag" baby hybrid, and you knew he was sired as soon as he didn't want to help lock up Stefan. HA!

Um, how did Rebekah get into the Lockwood mansion?

3x07

How did Lexi make Stefan think he’d been bleeding out for years? Is that a vampire power they just never used again or is it a special ghost power? I don’t remember this ever happening again.

Caroline fighting the ghost-vamps in her ballet flats lol the cutest!

3x08

Elena dealt with Ripper Stefan for like an hour and was like "absolutely not, Damon you do it" LMFAO which reminded me of the gifset that made everyone mad.

The Defan convo in 3x08 about Stefan always saving Damon for the bajillionith time even without humanity reminds of the convo in Damon’s head in 8x10 a little. This is a good season for them if I remember correctly, obviously I always enjoy them more when their causes of contention aren’t solely about Elena.

Elena making the Beremy breakup about herself, she really does have a gift. Even Bonnie was like really?

Bonnie ignoring Jeremy and giving him a death glare 1000% BB you deserve better you brought his ass back to life and lost tons of witchy power doing so he deserves to feel like shit!

3x09

Oh this is the first time Tyler and Caroline get into it about not including each other in schemes. This is kind of always a cause of conflict in their relationship but it’s a good cause of conflict because it makes sense. Tyler has a pack mentality (werewolf/hybrid) whereas Caroline is more independently driven (vampire). Like Caro said so much supernatural boyfriend drama.

Elena stabbing Rebekah in the back with the dagger is one of her best moments (even if I RME at her “I care too much” moment after).

3x10

Elena giving Tyler shit for being sired to Klaus (something he has no control over) is pretty funny considering what happens to her next season... insert well-well-well-how-the-turntables.gif.

3x11

Stefan’s spin decapitation of one of Klaus’ hybrids in front of him is so extra, I love it.

The symbolism of Elena “crowning” Caroline is not lost on me. Neither is Klaus forcing his way into Caroline’s house through the doorway.

Yeah the Wickery bridge scene was rough, no one knows how to psychologically torture/traumatize people quite like Stefan does.

Lines that made me laugh:

Bonnie: You think you're bored? My dads family is like wet paint that never dries. (oh I’m saving that one!)

Stefan: You’re into Tyler now, huh? That’s kind of fickle. (He's the worst but the comedic timing is *chef's kiss*)
