Episode Report Card Cindy McLennan: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Writing's On The Wall
By Cindy McLennan | Season 3 | Episode 7 | Aired on 10.27.2011
Cave: Damon stands at the entrance to the inner chamber and asks if Mason was screwing with him, or if there's really something in there. Alaric's mouth is hanging open as he trains his flashlight around the space. Finally, he says, "I found something." The camera pans to show us cave paintings. There's a sketch of ship that looks vaguely Viking and some Runic script on the walls. There are pictures of warriors, some carrying shields. There's a picture of a tree, that I can't help but think is the fabled White Oak -- the ashes of which are used when temporarily killing an Original with those handy-dandy daggers. Damon wants to know what he's found. Alaric's voice is a whisper. "I have no idea." Title card.
Well, that's it for this week. I'll see you Friday morning with my recaplet of "Ordinary People." In the meantime, please grade the episode up top and join us in the forum, where you can read the writing on the wall.
