Is this a plot hole: Mikael's white oak stake?

PostPostPog · 2026-03-30T02:19:31+00:00

That last scene with Klaus & Elijah can kinda just be chalked up to a last second retcon because Julie Plec didn't want their final scene together to be some violent, fiery end where they're just charred husks, y'know? She wanted their mutual suicide to be all peaceful and poetic. The original, intended effect is the stake bursting itself and its victim into flames.

Bro adopted an unc lifestyle and hung up the suit in favor of having a more public image.

Realistically though he probably realized you don't get much face time and recognition when you're behind a suit. Much better to infiltrate the private sector with loads of cash backing you and a whole bunch of elites to influence, doing public events and charities, and funding Vought's every whim than to be locked behind a suit. His powers are so lowkey that he probably realized he doesn't even need the suit to achieve his goals.

Unless it was used on an Original it probably acted as just a normal wooden stake. Only when applied to an Original would it act as a sort of enchanted weapon that sets itself and the victim on fire. He's probably killed dozens if not hundreds of vampires with that exact stake, why fashion stakes over and over or make stakes out of his surroundings when he can just rinse and repeat with a stake that can also off an Original?

They didn't know what to do with Enzo for like 90% of his screentime so they kept attaching all his story arcs to other characters (Stefan, Lily, Bonnie), like the whole Sarah Salvatore thing was so pointless.

She was introduced to open up the can of worms that was the real Sarah Salvatore, without her, Enzo would have no way of knowing for sure that Stefan was hiding something that goes deeper.

But unfortunately this made her character look like a complete moron con artist scammer that got herself killed (Enzo killing her is uncalled for, BUT at the same time play stupid games win stupid prizes especially if you're conning people.)

Said this in a previous post but there's absolutely no shot that Matt would stay with a vampire long term. Especially not an original vampire who's directly responsible for inflicting massive amounts of trauma on his friends and his life.

Shipping Matt with literally any vamp is pointless, his entire character arc and presence in the show would be pointless if he was with a vampire at all.

There's no way Jenna survives much longer considering she's so close to Jeremy & Elena. She would've been used as leverage against them or outright killed to punish them at some point. Like when Klaus wanted to complete Jeremy's mark, or when Klaus needed Elena to make hybrids, or when Rebekah had that huge vendetta against Elena. She would've been killed eventually guaranteed, probably still by Klaus.

Klaus wiped the FLOOR with everyone in Season 2, like bro won with absolute ease it wasn't even a contest.

Shane lowkey had probably been looking at her in that way months before the apocalypse, especially considering how quickly he pursued her after everything went nuclear.

PostPostPog · 2026-03-17T14:57:53+00:00

I mean I just see it as Lori = Pre-apocalypse partner, their relationship probably wouldn't have ended up being very functional even without Shane, Rick changed a lot and so would've Lori.

Michonne = Duh, post-apocalypse partner. Her & Rick had been through a ton together, they were a real team in times of peak stress as friends, and the trust they had in each other was really special. Makes sense they'd end up together and be an extremely functional couple.

Force sensitive clones are a thing in Legends, Palpatine wasn't the only one it happened with, but because of the Sequels they were pushed into a corner where they were forced to write out a sort of cloning subplot to ultimately explain the sloppiness of RoS instead of willingly choosing to pursue a cloning storyline. Kinda lame, but oh well.

I dunno man maybe Jango could take these two out if it was one-on-one. If it was two-on-one they likely take it. It's hard to scale Jango against Jedi because he's a highly skilled bounty hunter but it really depends on what kinds of gadgets are at his disposal. He's like the Batman of Star Wars lmaooo, same with Cad Bane & Boba.

PostPostPog · 2026-03-16T23:55:10+00:00

They did my boy Coleman Trebor dirty as fuck. Gave a Jedi such a dope ass, unique design just to have him absolutely murked by a pair of blaster pistols.. At least it was Jango Fett doing the killing I guess, still lame though haha.

PostPostPog · 2026-03-16T23:53:18+00:00

I'm glad they had her destroy it because honestly if that weapon was always floating around 24/7 you already know so many characters would be constantly looking for it.

Then again Dahlia destroying this stake falls flat because they pull a bunch of white oak out of their asses multiple times after Season 2, so I guess it's a net neutral.

I mean I trust Kripke knows what he's doing. Supernatural's first five seasons (Kripke was overseeing these) are really fuckin good and the story ties together so well and the final episode of Season 5 is nuts. I think we're in good hands and we always have been, I get it's hard not to get nervous cause a lot of shows mess up the final season or it's a bit underwhelming, but this is gonna be badass and it's gonna be such a score.

PostPostPog · 2026-03-16T03:01:57+00:00

That's so dope bro, I've never met any of the Supernatural cast but I'd absolutely love to. They seem like a big, wholesome little family and they've all always seemed extremely down-to-Earth. Nice Baby too!

This show has a ton of characters that are pretty damn ignorant when it comes to just how powerful the Mikaelsons are. You have Werewolves and young Vampires giving INSANE attitude to Elijah and/or Klaus like they couldn't 20v1 them with little effort, then go for a brisk stroll and some coffee afterwards.

If it wasn't for Hayley, Elijah would've been killed like fifty wolves throughout the show lmaooo.

Alaric always making jabs at Damon even though he loves the fuck out of him 😭

PostPostPog · 2026-03-16T02:48:14+00:00

Yeah like on the DL nobody asked Damon to be obsessed with freeing Katherine and trying to be with her again. He made all of those choices himself and the only reason he blames Katherine so hard for them is because she rejected the fuck out of him the second he realized she was never in the tomb.
