This weeks topic is about deadlines.
As in, the deadline I have to deliver this blog entry.
Its been a busy week.
I just returned from directing aTVDepisode, Ive been juggling multiple cuts in progress editorially.
Feeling a bit under the gun, I reached out to Twitter to help me with this weeks column.
Dear Twitter, I asked.
Heres your chance to ask me anything.
I am in deadline panic.
Hit me up and check our if your question made the cut tonight after the show atew.com.
@klaroheart wrote, What can be expected from this crossover?
you’re able to expect some great scenes reminiscent of season 3 Klaus and Stefan moments.
A surprising generosity from one Klaus Mikaelson.
@syliergonz didnt mince words as they asked the question on everyones minds: Season 8?
Well I sure hope so!
@kendravictoria wanted to know Why does Rayna look like Elena?
Well, Kendra, the answer is total blind, and I do mean blind, coincidence.
We threw in a couple jokes about it, but truthfully, there is no mythological reason for it.
@EldestDamon seems upset, asking Why is Damons character development falling?
He takes one step forward and so many steps back.
Yes, thats true.
People dont ever grow up to be perfect, and Im not sure Id like that Damon.
We love exploring his depth, his vulnerabilities, and his deeply heroic core.
You have to take the bad with the good.
@ManuelI84 asks the question I get a hundred times a day about Delenas future??
Dont forget, when we started this season, he was lying desiccated in a coffin next to hers.
@AbbieFortune wants to know When will Steroline reunite in the flash forwards?
The answer is: They will come face to face in episode 719.
@theresa_michele is curious IfVampire Diariesends in Season 7, will that affect theOriginals?
No, it wont.The Originalsare here to stay as long as youll have us.
So I apologize to whoever was next in line.
After about a hundred DELENA IS OUR ENDGAME.
Well, voodoo, Elenas parting words to Damon involved a request for him to live his life.
The subtext in that was not to be a monk and not to retreat into isolation.
Why are you trying to show cheating as something good while your audience is mostly teenagers?
Referring back to the last question, we dont perceive it to be cheating.
We believe it to be of questionable merit and slightly skanky, but not cheating.
Everyone has their own opinions about sex and commitment in adult relationships.
In our mind, Elena gave Damon permission to live his life to the fullest without her in it.
And, finally, @whodatf wants to know, When will you explore Bamon?
Im going very grey waiting.
Bonnie and Damons friendship is about to hit some fairly major hurdles.
Hes making bad decisions left and right, and he will make one that impacts Bonnie in horrible ways.
Thats the best I can tell you for now.
I cant comment on future pairings because my mind changes a lot.
