wtf Caroline!!!?? (regarding Violet)


One thing that really bothered me a couple episodes back was how Violet's (the girl who wins Miss Mystic Falls) transformation into a vampire was dealt with. First of all Caroline basically convinces her to make the transition into a vampire, 'It's not all bad, if I can do it you can, I WILL HELP YOU', blah etc. So naturally I thought this would be a little side arc of her teaching this girl the ways of vampirism (controlling urges, feeding etc) because obviously leaving a newbie vampire to their own devices would be dangerous and basically stupid, especially seen as though the reason why this girl turned in the first place was because Caroline made a strong argument to do so.

Then, literally the next episode opens with Caroline moping about not wanting to get out of bed with a woe is me etc attitude, I straight away thought hasn't she got a newbie vampire to train, look after?? where is this Violet girl as clearly no one is worried as no one has mentioned her in the slightest. When Caroline was in bed on the phone to Bonnie I was expecting at least a quick 'well after a night of bunny hunting Violet is sleeping it off'...etc.

Then we have a scene with Violet, having just killed some randomers, clearly not doing well in her newbie vampire state, now staked and offered up to Cade most likely for easy pickings due to her killing. Where was everyone!? Even when she was told Caroline barely batted an eye. Obviously writers didn't have time for another training montage of hunting etc but at least throw in a few comments so it doesn't look like Caroline convinced this girl to turn then just washed her hands of her.
Don't get me wrong, Caroline is hands down one of my favourite characters and still is, just thought this was a slight downer in terms of rushed writing etc, Did anyone else think this??

I wondered the same thing aswell. The girl was just canon fodder

If you think about it, Caroline had made the same promised to Stefan ex girlfriend right before she snuck out to get a bite to eat,and was caught and kill by the Hunter.

It was a shame since the scene between Caroline and Violet in "The simple intimacy of the near touch" was reminiscent of the good writing in the earlier seasons. The follow up with Caroline just made her look bad. She should have just staked the girl herself just like she asked.

Never argue with stupid people,they will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Agree. I liked that she was going to help her. They could have thrown in a couple of lines about how busy Caroline has been helping Violet get acclimated, we don't need to see it on screen but referencing it would have been good.

reply

This is exactly what I mean. All that was needed was a few references then if they wanted to end that arc there and then they could have, the viewers then knowing that it was just dealt with off screen. As Bluesysax said it just makes her look really bad and for no reason. Why bother writing that situation to only kill that vampire off with barely any screen time the very next episode?

reply

This is it. With what every character knows about brand new vampires, this just wouldn't happen. Just really sloppy.

reply

Agreed. If you're going to convince someone to sell their soul, then at least make sure you help them stay sane and stable. Caroline basically abandoned her and the whole thing was an attempt to show that Caroline loves being a vamp and doesn't see it as a death sentence/doesnt regret the choice. So she pushed it onto someone else? Someone who was saying, explicitly no, i don't want it. I get that consent has no meaning on a vampire show but it's really frustrating to watch.

Not to mention, once Caroline found out that she died...it took her all of 5 seconds to get over it? Yet she is still offended as hell that Matt called her out and said vampirism=darkness and all the bad things in MF = because of vamps. Um, he's f-cking right Caroline. You're part of the problem.

A rose is just a rose.

It's just the writers honestly, no one gave two *beep* about Bonnie in last nights episode, it made me so angry

She lost the man she loved, Caroline gave up pretty fast and went back to whining about Stefan, Damon only cared about Stefan, Matt and Alaric had their own issues so I guess that's not really their fault, but atleast Matt actually went to Bonnie afterwards

I mean it just pisses me off how the writers treat Bonnie.
