Google Drive Tip: It takes time for Google Drive to process videos. If it says "still processing" or is only allowing you to view at 360p, then you can always come back later or download the video in full

Dropbox Tip: The quality of the video is lower while streaming so I recommend downloading or using google drive if thats an issue

This episode is so dense with information, foreshadowing, resolution of the story that almost every scene is telling you something very important, in TVD style, but more concentrated than usual. I guess it is because season 8 is only 16 episodes and if I think all the storylines they are going to pack there I get dizzy. Season 8 is as could be imagined, the closing of all loose ends, closing the circle with season one in a perfect and poetic manner, so enjoy the depth you are going to encounter. First of all, I want to underline how incredibly gorgeous Ian Somerhalder looks this season. He is reading 50 Shades of Gray, because he was supposed to play the part of Julian Gray but the stupid author of the book didn’t wanted him , preferred that “cold fish bad actor” that ended up playing that part. I, like many, though that it has been a huge missed opportunity because Ian would have bring to the film, another level of sensuality and row passion that is not a matter of acting a sex scene is a matter of being naturally sensual and effortlessly just share it with the audience. There, I have done my rant about it. Anyway, let’s get into the episode. The connection with season one is obvious, it starts as season one, with a couple driving in the fog and Damon on the street, killing people, this time he is teaching Enzo this trick. The siren has hold on them, and she is controlling their mind. Damon to protect his loved ones, switched his humanity off, so she cannot use them to control their emotions and their thoughts. Enzo has more practice in resistance having been tortured for almost 90 years, but Damon has conquered his dark side so he doesn’t feel what he doesn’t want to feel, but he kept his feeling for Elena hidden and let them surface when he is asleep, as an escape, to the terrible life he is force to live in. So both of them have a form of resistance to the siren, they hold on to. It is very interesting the exploration of hell, outside the religious realm. The show has a worldwide audience with different religions, so it was clever of them to explore this but to stay away from any religion. So what is hell in the TVD universe? If there is place where some supernatural being find peace, there must be a place where troublesome supernatural being are because they haven’t find peace. And the wreaked nature of this place is taking shape in this episode, when Damon describes it to Stefan, a place where you life actions and mistake condemn you, without hope for redemption and absolution, no matter how much you atoned for your wrong doings the is no hope to escape it. So if you take hope out of the equation, what is the point for “sinners” of being good? Still, Damon and Enzo are resisting, they are still deeply good, even if their actions are terrible. That is very different from the Dante hell we know. And why Damon said that it doesn’t want Stefan “yet”? Another important part is that Damon told him that he is doomed, because Stefan turned him into a vampire, that is his fault if he is in the situation. That is the first time Stefan actually listen and had a serious impact on him. Stefan is the most unaware character of TVD, but he is changing he is not anymore the self righteous Stefan we got to know in past seasons, the one that never had to work for forgiveness, it was just hand it over to him. Stefan has changed, he is more mature, and for the first time he gets his brother correctly. Another reference to the first season, when he was writing on his diary that Damon was a monster, or when he was badmouthing him to Elena, here is the opposite, he realise that his brother is a victim and he acknowledge that where he is right now is not his fault and take responsibility for the past without playing victim, as he did in season one. To be noted some of the iconic scene that became meme in this episode, the Damon and Enzo walking in sync,https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Kwk9sh_76PI and the smirk and the iconic “Hello Brother” sentence told to Stefan this episode, that was also the very first thing that Damon said in season one episode one, making the best character first introduction in TV history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdOImY6-l0s So, to recup, the season 8 theme so far is: is there a chance for redemption, or hope for our beloved characters? What is the deal? What redemption means? Or what finding peace means? As well, what is hell and what is NOT hell? How much the mistake you made in life and the actions you made or not made impact your afterlife outcome? But what they are really exploring is what does it means to be bad or to be good, where is the line between good and bad? How circumstances, motivations, and awareness play a part in establishing the measure based on how an individual can be consider bad or not and can be forgiven or understood or look with clemency outside the religious believes that condition how we perceive the matter. A very ambitious subject.

By the way the adventure doesn't have to end. You could do a rewatch, that is what peple do when they finish season 8, they rush to rewatch it from season 1 and the show looks very different from when you watch it the first time, you see all the forshadowing, all the motivations, all the hidden information that where there, but you couldn't see them becuse you didn't know what to look at, all the connections to other seasons the writers implant, etc. Now that you know the charcters, their motivations, their past, their background story, you will realise how incredibly well planned the entire thing is. And if you though it was a great show the first time around, the second time around you'll realise how mind blowingly fantastic really is. You will miss it, and as anybody you will want to rewatch it, one time or another, that you do it as a reaction or privatelly, it's up to you. Surely it would be nice to continue the journey together.

Harry, I agree with Patpet about not ending the adventure with TVD because if I'd the second rewatch, that would blow your mind. I love how dark the first episode of season 8 is.

Yes season 1 had fog, the whole opening scene of this episode is almost identical the opening scene of the first episode of season 1. The fog and Damon controlling the bird were both taken from the books, but they dropped those powers from the show after just a few episodes

Harry, I rewind about four times your reaction when the young lady said she slept with her friend's boyfriend eight times. It was funny. Love it.
