vincat4always & hopefulromantic: You ladies are cracking me up!! However, I totally understand where you're coming from with quoting bits and pieces of different people's posts. I personally find it way easier to either just tag the people who's posts you like and say what you liked about each of them, OR just quote each individual original post. It took me this long just to figure out how to post gifs, (and that's after it was explained in really great detail twice to me); so with that in mind, good luck to all of us in our quest to continue to learn new computer skills here!! So glad I'm able to amuse and entertain. LOL I'll just keep experimenting with stuff and hopefully I won't break anything else (sorry about the LIKE button...). <-- just kidding! how about we work to get you a new picture? LOL

hopefulromantic, ArwenFan & vincat4always: I love, love, love your posts!! You guys are soooo good with your in depth analysis and different points of view!! I sooooo miss the "like" button. I think it's gone into permanent hiding unfortunately. texasscotian Thanks for the kind words. I've enjoyed reading everyone's POVs, too and hopefulromantic's last comment (which I piggybacked onto in someone's response) was genius! Anyway...I'm soooooooooooo glad BATB is back and stirring up this kind of discussion on the board. Thanks, ladies!

AMAZING how one little TV show (the best ever, of course!) can bring people from around the world and be so thought provoking! Did TPTB have any clue that this new version of a classic fairytale would bring up such awesome, intricate analyses from around the globe?! So much fun!

Going back to episode 17. I have to admit my fav scene was when the choppers showed up and V told Cat that they have to leave and Cat said no the way V said "What do you mean no?" I just loved that whole scene. The way he said it like he was sad she wasn't going to go with him. Like that little desperation in his voice at her no. It was a heartbreaking scene to me, the way at first he didn't want her to go but in the end he really didn't want to leave her behind was so heartbreaking... Yes, that got me, too. That whole scene. Handcuffing her, remembering sexier times with the handcuffs and the kiss. KILL. ME. NOW.

And love the scene where he turned around on the rooftop..

Hopefulromantic Of course it would have been awesome if we never had to go through the horror of V&T in that arc, but it had to be extremely extreme to show the total ripping apart of Vincat. It had to seem hopeless in order for it to be truly EPIC when they overcame ALL odds and destiny prevailed, and stronger than it ever was. We needed to see the transformation and journey that their characters went through in order to make them stronger individually and not just because they were together. Vincent had his memory wiped, for goodness sake! And they still made it! Them being even stronger together than they are apart, the new and improved Vincat 3.0, is because their characters evolved.
How I wish too that Gabe remained Cat's Boss /friend and Tori just maybe infatuated with V but that didn't happened. VT/CG are part of the story and I'm ok with that. For me, VC are just like regular folks, not perfect, they made mistakes and will make more mistakes. I'm not gonna beat myself looking for answers why the writers did this or that, it's very hard to please fans these days. I do respect fans opinion as to why they're dissapointed, hurt etc.....but me, I'de like to keep it simple, be happy with the show, support the show, 5 more awesome episodes coming and S3...hopefully S4

Forgive me if this question has already been asked because I haven't had a chance to get through all the comments yet, but how did Vincent get the gem back? He broke his restraints in the ambulance to get the gem off of him so he could "beast out" and escape. The gem fell under the gurney and Vincent blurred away. He wouldn't have been able to have it on him anyway because it takes his beast abilities away. When Gabe went to search the ambulance all he found was Vincent's ripped bandage. Yet when Catherine shows up at her apartment the gem is lying on the table which Vincent had brought back to her? How did he get it? He couldn't have gone back to the ambulance because it was a crime scene swarming with cops. So am I just over thinking everything or did I miss something? I wouldn't have thought much about it except they made a big deal about him having the gem and the effects it has on him. It's been driving me crazy!

Batb happened lol A lot of us are wondering about this or why they chose not show us how he did it. Someone should ask the writers on twitter.

Same in the episode 2x10 in the russian consulate, V opens the safe and attacks the guy while C holding the plastic gun at him. Then he picks up the gem and blures away.

You know I just realised something. Vincent has some abilities even when he is not in Beast mode. Like he can hear or see things mostly when he is tracking someone. Or even when he is kissing Catherine. Anyhow maybe the gem only keeps him from beasting out but does not affect the abilities he has? Like he can run fast without being in beast mode? Just a thought. That can explain this misery around the gem.

That can explain this misery around the gem. That's a very good point. Because he seems to be able to 'blur away' (I love this new phrase btw) even when he has the gem on him, so I agree Nelly. I think it just prevents him from beasting out and his strength but not his abilities that he can use when not in beast mode. Even in Held Hostage, when he had the gem in his hands he couldn't beast out and was getting beat up pretty badly before Catherine shouted for him to let go of the gem.

Hey guys, One of you had once recommended reading this one girl's recaps. She had only done season 1 but recently she said she was gonna do season 2. Just of out curiosity anyone remember who she was? and what website it was? It was TVRepublik shes on twitter. She hasnt done the recap yets. Im assuming shes waiting til S2 finishes? vincat4always u should still go to her website. she was there during the hiatus, when that so called journalist became crazy about beasts tweeting on Star Crossed night, about the "mind-boggling"renewal, battle of the abs (between Arrow and Beast )…all very interesting. IMO she really knows what she's writing about because of her degrees and work experiences...
