The New Plan
I'll get my complaint or two out of the way and save my praise for the longer review. Because it was a good episode, but I'm easily distracted.
Case in point, I'd like to congratulate the show for once again distracting me with its art direction. Kind of like wondering why Damon has a massive urn full of decorative soaps in his bathroom, I'm now concerned about why all of Klaus' family is in matching coffins.
So did Klaus always have a matched set? Did he bring Rebekah's from Chicago just in case? I suppose if he had, then there would be five coffins and one would be empty. The one coffin is sealed with a spell. Does Klaus pop it open every now and then and move whoever is in it to a new coffin and seal it again so that they all match? Or does he constantly have to search around to find new coffins that match the original one?
Damn. That must be worse than having a rare china pattern and breaking a plate.
And even more annoying is the fact that we are still using "dagger" as a verb. We already have a perfectly good verb in "stabbed." You "stabbed someone with a dagger." You don't "dagger" them.
People don't get "daggered" just like they don't get "sworded."
Or maybe they do. I don't know. Maybe "swording" is what happens on Highlander when they pause tape so that someone can run into frame and hand the actor the sword that he supposedly keeps tucked into his trench coat pocket but doesn't really because if he did, he'd never be able to sit down.
Anyways.
I'll be over here marveling at Damon's growing level of self-awareness: "You know me - never miss a chance to plan an epic failure."
Indeed.And that's what we love about you, sweetie.
