yeah, my thoughts were like that Jenna,too. Was it a trap, was it for real? I even thought that Beth wouldn't stay in the car in this case too, especially in this case, and could follow him. That 2nd season would have so much potential...So, are you up to it already?

I wish.

There were so many details left to be explored, some not directly addressed in what we saw. Ones that fall into the, how would vampires react to this... or how would vampirism play into that...

The writers on this show would have a lot of room to play had that second, third, fourth and fifth seasons come about, as they should have.

One of the stupidest decisions of all time...

Just my opinion, of course.

Well, I was sort of suggesting...Jenna... you might...

It's my plan to continue with attempting to write fanfic.

Hopefully, some improvement will occur in the process, but I still have a long way to go before I can equal some of the wonderful writers around here.

I, too, favor Mick and Beth together.

Coraline made a lot of really terrible decisions about Mick. I can't think of much that she did that worked out well, except maybe kidnap Beth. That worked out well for Mick and Beth, and for us--as otherwise we wouldn't have had a show. Also, if she hadn't Turned Mick, he would never have met Beth. Didn't work out very well for Coraline, though.

In the brief story arc before Coraline's departure prior to the final four episodes, the brief look we got at her could be interpreted as someone who had learned from her mistakes and changed. Then again, it could have been an elaborate ruse. There is evidence on both sides.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Coraline is trying so hard to figure out how to help Mick here. It's such a hard adjustment for both of them. I actually like the idea that bottled blood first came from Coraline out of desperation but it is a sire's job to make sure the fledgling survives.

Thank you so much for reading this old piece!

Coraline never was my favorite character. Heck, she wasn't in the top five but fifteen of the sixteen episodes we saw on screen painted her very negatively and when they didn't, events were very much open to interpretation.

She still made a lot of mistakes with Mick, but in her own way she did love him and he did stay married to her for thirty three years. Manipulative? Sure. Selfish? Absolutely. But even given that, she didn't entirely botch the job. Mick stayed alive and he became a really great guy and an asset to the vampire community, to boot!

In the second or third season, we may have been shown that Beth isn't the crusader for truth and justice that we saw her to be in the first season and Coraline was not the devil incarnate.
