I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Exactly. But he seems very deliberate, somehow, with the flirting and turning on Sophie-Anne (how in hell did she get to be Queen of Louisiana when everyone holds her in such contempt, anyway?). It could just be staying close and being ready to strike, but after centuries of wanting his revenge I suspect some sort of plan for the end game.

Now tagless for your comfort.

In the books, Sophie-Anne was less flighty and much more formidable.

That is not a change I like, then.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

she was also about 15 years old.

i'm also annoyed with how willy nilly they're treating the whole "dead during the day" thing from the books.

Well, seriously. When Franklin and Tara were at that motel - sun was streaming in through the windows. He should have been a cinder.

Compassionately intolerant

Book!Sophie Anne is waaaay more ruthless, strong and strategic.

She is the least well-realized book-based character on the entire show. For real.

Yeah, plus - no Andre. Which is too bad - nothing like a pair of Super Scary teenagers, is there.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, I'm disappointed in Evan Rachel Wood's performance. It's so histrionic. She was a pretty decent actress in 13, as a young woman. I thought she had way more potential than this, but she is AWFUL in this role.

Quick video interview with Joe Manganiello who plays Alcide and here is that little Alexander Skarsgard-Denis O'Hare chat from prior to the season opener.

Am I wrong, or did the writers totally plagiarize that "wear your ribcage as a hat" line straight from Buffy in "Becoming Part II?"

ETA: Yep: with Whistler, "If you're gonna crack jokes, I am going to pull out your ribcage and wear it as a hat."

BAD WRITERS, NO COOKIE.
