Part Two of the creative non-fiction piece I made earlier this week! More remembered moments from the same shows! Hope you enjoy this half as much as the first.
I remember the episode of "The Walking Dead" when Glen gets his head bashed in by Negan. I clawed at my boyfriend who sensed the change in my mood while we both watched the scene I wasn’t ready for.
I remember the episode earlier on when Carl, who is but a child at this point, kills Rick’s best friend because he turned after Rick killed him first. I remember thinking that a kid killing an adult was way more badass than a kid getting killed by an adult.
I remember the episode of "The Vampire Diaries" when Tyler got mislead in plans (this happens a lot). He looks like such a lost puppy when he realized just what the plan is every time. He just tries to do the right thing with the wrong people.
I remember the episode of "Supernatural" when Dean huddles around a dying Sam who tried to close the gates to hell. Instead, heaven died and the very heavens cried for the brothers by sending angels hurtling towards Earth.
I remember the Episode of "The Walking Dead" when Merle reveals to the audience the truth behind Daryl’s past with a quick flash of his back. The very different brotherly dynamic was shown in a mapping of winged tattoos and mottled scars on Daryl’s back.
I remember the episode when Daryl then has to kill his brother who had become a zombie. I cried with him as I realized it took him killing the final part of his past to be free from it. Then I realized, that I was being callous and that he was crying because he actually loved the asshole.
I remember the episode of "The Vampire Diaries" when Matt, the only human from the show that was connected to the supernatural through coincidence, was revealed to be a part of everything. I wondered if he would have told Tyler, but then opened up a fresh wound to bleed with the anger of using characters as plot devices.
I remember the episode when Matt’s dead mother and sister worked with the new ruler of Hell to open the gates to it. I just wanted the writers to leave the poor boy be and let the plot be more natural. If he was kept alive only for this, what was the point?
I remember the episode of "Supernatural" when Dean finally got the younger sister he wanted in Charlie. Felecia Day has that effect on people, and she provided both a proper LGBT and general female representation for the first time since Jo died.
I remember the episode when Charlie then got killed by the Steins for knowing too much. This then showed the audience just what Dean could do with the mark of Cain and the first blade. How typical that something has to happen to a woman to further a man’s story.
I remember the episode of "The 100" when Bellamy led the young delinquents out of convenience. They were a shield to help him hide from the Ark and his own guilt on what he would have done for his sister (gee sounds familiar).
I remember the episode when Bellamy co-leads the team because he cared. I remember thinking it was about damn time that the other characters saw what the views got to see ‘behind closed doors.'
I remember the episode of "The Vampire Diaries" when everything had to be tied in a pretty bow to end the series. Instead I was confused on if everyone died and went to Heaven and if so how some characters that were canonically in or meant to go to Hell made it there instead. Then again, what happens when you destroy one half of the afterlife?
