Geez I just read that TVD isn’t coming back until October, is that true?! What a long wait, here I was thinking it would be just a few more months. I guess that means I’ll have a productive start to the school year, lol.

I’m really curious how they’ll be able to make Elena and Katherine different enough but still equally cool as vampires. I think it’ll be tough.

Well if your human personality is accentuated as a vampire Elena is likely to be even more moralistic, stubborn, opinionated and self sacrificing. She’ll be a protector of her friends and fight for what is “right”. Katherine will always be morally twisted, vivacious and selfish which is what makes her fun. If they stick to their personalities they will be different types of vamps and most likely at odds with each other. That would be fun to watch.

JP’s interview sounds like the things that pissed me off about Season 3 will still be around pissing me off in Season 4.

The thing about Elena ‘falling in and out of love’ just made me cringe. If there is one thing I want from Season 4 it is a break from the love triangle crap. Doesn’t have to be forever, just like half a season or something. Just put Elena with Stefan and let them goo up the screen playing out all JP’s Stelena fantasies. Just leave Damon out of it. Get him something or someone else to occupy his time. The writers killed his best friend, destroyed his relationship with his brother and broke his heart and now they just need to leave him the hell alone and get him someone new for companionship.

The part about Bonnie and Matt getting their due was just hilarious. I mean, every single professional and amateur commentator, reviewer etc. I have read complains ALL THE TIME about how underused Bonnie is and how she is just used as a plot device. And JP is happily going on about how Bonnie got her moment in the sun.

I am totally over Klaus and I wish he had died at the end of S3. His storyline is so utterly and completely chewed over that you need a microscope to find the last particles of meat on that bone.

Really hoping for a good new villain in Mystic Falls for S4. Not just the lameass Founder’s Council either, but a proper Big Bad.

But above all I am thinking I want JP to stop saying that this is going to be like starting over again. It gives me nightmares of JP desperately trying to reboot Stelena with a Season One replay only Elena and Stefan’s roles are switched.

That’s the part that annoys me though. They obviously think we’ll be easily lead back into the same old traps. I mean they’ve told us and showed us before what the result will always be so it makes me cringe when they tease about rehashing things. Let it go already and come up with something new that will make us want to watch.

Yeah Bonnie didn’t exactly get her “due” either unless she was due to be used solely to bail everyone out of trouble with magic at her own expense. If that’s what she meant then sure. Caroline is probably one of the few out of the ones she mentioned that actually did ok.

I think one of these spoilers said that the big bad will be different than what you think next season. That could mean there really isn’t a supernatural threat but a threat of the humans purging them as in the council taking action against the vamps.

If they devle into Klaus’ wolf side of the family they could make something happen with his story.

You can pretty much can expect what you’ve said abou Elena and Stefan switching roles from season 1. That’s basically what she said about resetting things and seeing Elena go thru the same feelings of trying to keep her secret concealed, blood lust under control, etc…Somehow this is suppose to make thing fresh but isn’t it just recycling? And the thing about Elena falling in or out of love is absurd. Despite what Stefan did to her during Season3 she told us she never fell out of love with him. I don’t see that happening in the series. Besides he respected her “choice” so she’ll just be more gaga over him. Sure they might argue and she might tease Damon for the umpteenth time but that will be just to prove that nothing will break her and Stef apart. In another interview JP was asked why no one ever tells Damon I love you. She said they didn’t notice that but basically it would be a long time before he heard those words so why bother even teasing anything else? Damon needs to focus on the council issues. I’m sure he’ll help Elena when she needs him because that’s what he does but I don’t want him to keep getting drawn into her web just so he can be crushed repeatedly. If he is going to be eternally alone let him have some hot fun. We know he’s earned it.

 LOL- can you ship him to mine instead???????? I love Klaus and personally think the writers would be FOOLISH to kill him off….the ONLY reason I’m still watching is for Damon & Klaus (Ian & Joseph). If they weren’t in it, I’m sorry, but I don’t think that I would be this invested in this show…sad, but true:(

I do agree with you regarding the “love triangle that wasn’t”. I don’t think the writers should “tease it” because I’m pretty sure that Delena is just a figment of the fan base’s imagination. They’ve made it abundantly clear that the “epic” love story of TVD is the Stefan/Elena relationship…so be it. Personally, I really don’t care anymore, and haven’t since Dangerous Liaisons. The only thing I ask is that the writers find it in their hearts to quit beating Damon up (emotionally & physically) and let him be what he is: a sexy, seductive, practical VAMPIRE!

As for Klaus, can’t wait to see MORE of him. Remember, he’s 1000 years old. That’s a lot of history the writers can draw from. Besides, I’ve found that the episodes that have no Klaus (Joseph) in them aren’t as good as the one’s that do. I’m ok with him gone for one episode, but when it’s two in a row???NO! NO! NO!

If I have to put up with the Stefan/Elena “epic” love story (that I really don’t think is all that “epic” considering Stefan is the reason Elena’s dead), then I deserve me some hot, sexy Damon scenes and I also deserve to be able to appreciate Klaus’s dimples on a regular basis….and that look he gets before he goes all bad ass….yep, I think if your not a Stelena fan, then the writers need to give the other side something they want…and for me, that’s Klaus & Damon;)

BTW- the below is just one of the reason’s I think Joseph is so adorable….look at him flashing those dimples from Monte Carlo;)

I posted a pic of Joseph from Monte Carlo below….now it’s only fair that I add one of Ian….he’s smoldering all the way from the Philippines;)  Gotta love those blue, blue eyes;)

Obviously we won’t know what happens in Season 4 for sure until the season actually starts. However, when they start throwing out spoilers saying Elena’s behavior will be reminiscent of Stefan’s in season 1 it doesn’t sound fresh to me like they’re insinuating. It just sounds redundant. I’d like to see something new and exciting where I’m actually surprised. That goes for all the characters. It’s like when they used the body switching thing like 3 times. By the 3rd time it was underwhelming. If they’re saying this is to be a season of new beginnings then don’t recycle behavior or rehash storylines. I’m hoping to be surprised.

Sorry I meant AMEN Vamplover!

 Wow, vamplover, the first thought that came to my mind looking at that picture of Ian was that probably god is a woman and she was totaly in love when she created Ian… ;)
Aren´t his eyes otherworldly pretty? *long sigh*

I guess her definition of “main characters” is different then ours. LOL. Yeah it’s frustrating. This is not meant as a derogatory comment about Geminis but their symbol is the twins. Since JP is a Gemini maybe her answers depend on which twin is being interviewed. Haha. :)

LOL. My reply button only works from my phone not any of my computers.

I agree and so did Paul and Ian at the Crimson Convention. Paul said he had a tough time with Stefan saving Matt and leaving Elena in the truck. Ian asked him, “so if Torrey said save my friend first what would you do?” Paul, ” I’d say hell no, get over here.” That’s not an exact quote, but close.
