Jeremy’s shows his nips in the nippy weatherIt’s clearly cold on this Canadian island — even the vampires are bundled up, despite not being affected by the climate. But
Bonnie (
Kat Graham) waits until they’re out in the exposed, chilly temps to photograph
Jeremy (
Steven R. McQueen) and his tats. (Based on the way her hand lingered on his pecs, we’re sure she saved some of those pics to her phone without sharing them with the rest of the group, too.) Speaking of the tat map, that terrifying, Gollum-esque figure — which is supposed to represent Silas — doesn’t give anyone pause? That does not look like someone you want to unleash upon the world.
Shane’s pain-freeDoes
Shane (
David Alpay) have magical vampire healing powers — or is he just so under the influence of witch herbs that he feels no pain? In the flashback, the prof sliced deeply into his palm before rappelling down a cave. Sure, he wore gloves, but the gaping wound seemed to bother him not at all as he descended into the darkness.
Kol(d) corpseWow. We know
Elena (
Nina Dobrev) and the rest don’t particularly like
Klaus (
Joseph Morgan) but leaving him stuck with the rotting corpse of his brother
Kol (
Nathaniel Buzolic) was a rather tacky move. They were on a tight schedule, sure, but they had enough time to wait around for
Jeremy (
Steven R. McQueen) to rip his shirt off and reveal his tattoos. Wouldn’t it have been better spent tidying up a bit?
Share the plan, manYeah, yeah.
Damon (
Ian Somerhalder) and Elena had to talk about their feelings, but sometimes, you just have to take a timeout from relationship conversations to point out that Shane is crazy pants and planning yet another sacrifice. D probably thought he had all night to explain that Shane required three massacres, but really. He should’ve mentioned that their guide got his intel from a ghost witch who may or may not have nefarious plans before storming off into the night.
Worst hiding places everWe straight up applauded when
Stefan (
Paul Wesley) said he wasn’t letting the tombstone out of his sight. (We saw what happened with the moonstone back in Season 2.) But then Jeremy went missing and everyone panicked, lost their heads, and hid their most valuable possessions inside their sleeping bag (Elena and the White Oak stake) or in their left-behind backpacks. Come on, guys. This isn’t your first go-around with irreplaceable magical objects.
