Episode 4×11, “Catch Me If You Can.” Yet another episode title that makes me think of Leonardo DiCaprio’s resume. I dearly hope that the show fits “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” into a title by year’s end. “The Basketball Diaries” would also be suitable.

Cold Open
- Aw, I like when Klaus’s villainy is so logical.
- Oh Damon, the one thing worse than making all those baby vamps sitting ducks so that Jeremy can get his mark is making all those baby vamps sitting ducks and then killing them yourself so no mark grows. Also, shouldn’t Elena be showing up any moment?
- Oh, there she is. Is that officially the first time she’s killed a vamp?

Everything up until the first commercial break.
- See, the fact that Elena argues with Damon right here, on plans and ethics and the value of the cure, demonstrates how much the Sire bond is not affecting her judgement. So this is either very sloppy writing or the bond is something that only works when Damon deliberately gives orders, which means just about all of Elena’s feelings her own.
- ….Yes, an order just like that. And there she goes.
- Oh Stefan, if you’re still poring down all your feelings and emotions into a journal after a century of supposed badassery I think it’s about time you admit that it’s a diary. You also might want to invest in the kind with a lock since, from the top of my memory, at least two of your nemeses have snuck in and read it.
- Heh, Bonnie saying “I’m in complete control” in that hypnotized voice is all kinds of messed up.
- I never noticed this before, but is Kol’s English accent quite different from his siblings’ English accents? Like more clipped and very vaguely Irish-ish?
