Weird TVD Project-Episode Titles!  
So I've been working on a weird TVD-project that is totally for my own OCD self. A lot of episode titles I'm pretty meh on and for some reason I've always been partial to really good titles. So............ I've gone through every TVD title and for quite a few of them renamed the episodes (LOL! Hey, I said it was weird!). Some are actually titles of other episodes and I did keep a few, but most are ones I came up with myself. The thing is that I don't toally OMG!Love all of the ones I have, so I'm putting this out there if anyone else has any different title suggestions!

This is the kind of weird thing I do, what fun!

I don't have time to analyse them now, I'll be back.

But I will say now: no, no, no! You can't change 'Because the Night'! It's perfect as it is, Patti Smith connection and everything!

Sorry, it doesn't work for me. But if you do it yourself, feel free to keep that title! It just doesn't fit the theme of the episode at all for me. If you can make it work for me, maybe.....

Brutal honesty follows!

S01.01 - Back to Life (Pilot) - good
S01.02 - My Brother's Keeper (The Night of the Comet) - good
S01.04 - Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (Family Ties) – I don’t like either particularly. I don’t think the Buffy title fully fits. I don’t know what I would call it though. Doubt?
S01.06 - Death Becomes Her (Lost Girls) - good
S01.07 - Costume Drama (Haunted) - good
S01.09 - Promises, Promises (History Repeating) – I’m not sure I get your new one.
S01.10 - Photograph (The Turning Point) – I think you could develop this idea into something a little more snappy (puns intended),
S01.11 - Bloodline (Bloodlines) ???
S01.12 - The Great Pretender (Unpleasantville) – Maybe
S01.13 - What I Did For Love (Children of the Damned) – not bad
S01.15 - Q & A (A Few Good Men) – I like both
S01.16 - Caught In The Act (There Goes the Neighborhood) – unless, I’m missing something, doesn’t this refer to something a bit too minor?
S01.17 - When It Rains, It Pours (Let the Right One In) – Hee. I prefer the original title (I didn’t like the film much though)
S01.19 - The Good Brother (Miss Mystic Falls) - okay
S01.21 - Mommie Dearest (Isobel) - meh
S01.22 - Playing The Part (Founder's Day) - good

S02.01 - The Breaking Point (The Return) – good, but I wouldn’t have the ‘The’
S02.02 - Carnival Ride (Brave New World) – I prefer the original
S02.03 - Do The Right Thing (Bad Moon Rising) – I like both
S02.04 - Moonstruck (Memory Lane) – I really like this one
S02.05 - Covering Your Tracks (Kill or Be Killed) – I prefer the original
S02.08 - Death To Elijah (Rose) – does this allude to something?
S02.10 - Someone To Watch Over Me (The Sacrifice) - good
S02.12 - Once Bitten (The Descent) - good
S02.13 - What Doesn't Kill You (Daddy Issues) – I like both
S02.14 - Pack Mentality (Crying Wolf) – I like both, but prefer the original
S02.15 - Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? (Dinner Party) - good
S02.17 - Partners In Crime (Know Thy Enemy) – Not keen on either
S02.18 - Substitute Teacher (The Last Dance) – The Substitute? (adding ‘Teacher’ seems to lack poetry imo)
S02.19 - The Sun And Moon Curse (Klaus) – I’d tweak it to The Sun and the Moon and emphasise the dualities at play with the two sets of brothers.
S02.21 - The Sacrifice (The Sun Also Rises) – My problem with this is that it takes away the hope inherent in the original

This is exactly the kind of weird thing I do too, except I don't have a creative bone in my body, so yours are way better than mine would be! :) These are so cute and clever and better than the real ones! I especially like "My Shadow Self," "Strike a Match," "The Game of Seduction," and "Two in a Million," but they're all fantastic! Very cool :)

Florencia: DE (4x23)florencia7 on July 11th, 2013 02:15 am (UTC)
Weird?!? Not at all. This is an AWESOME project and I'm already in love with your choices ♥

[Just to clarify, my comments refer to your titles, unless specified otherwise ;]

S01.01 - Back to Life (Pilot)
I love this one! How sad that the 1st episode didn't even have a title of any sort. Although now that I think about it... Isn't it interesting that it didn't? As if the ~actual beginning was 1.02 ;)

S01.02 - My Brother's Keeper (The Night of the Comet)
OMG This is perfect!!! I absolutely adore this choice to pieces.


S01.06 - Death Becomes Her (Lost Girls)
This one is fantastic!

S01.07 - Costume Drama (Haunted)
Ha! Much better idea too!

S01.10 - Photograph (The Turning Point)
I actually rather like The Turning Point, because I always kind of linked this title to what happens after this episode... if that makes sense lol In other words, I'd like to believe it's not specifically about Elena finding out about Katherine, but rather about Stefan failing Elena in some way for the first time (in this case not telling her about Katherine before their relationship reached another level, so to speak).

S01.13 - What I Did For Love (Children of the Damned)
Wonderful title!

S01.17 - When It Rains, It Pours (Let the Right One In)
Another wonderful one!

S01.19 - The Good Brother (Miss Mystic Falls)
AHHH This one is AWESOME ♥

S01.21 - Mommie Dearest (Isobel)
lol Yours is so much more fun.

S01.22 - Playing The Part (Founder's Day)
I like this one! Clever. (So many of these original titles are kind of blah, I don't really know why. Maybe the writers just don't feel like committing too much thought to the titles, since they don't even appear on screen? lol)

S02.01 - The Breaking Point (The Return)
I like yours MUCH better. For some reason The Return always bothered me as a title for this episode.

S02.02 - Carnival Ride (Brave New World)
Flawless title is flawless ♥

S02.08 - Death To Elijah (Rose)
I usually don't like titles consisting solely of characters names (it just seems kind of... lame, regardless of who it is, sorry Klaus lol), however in case of Rose I think it's kind of fun how they hid a spoiler in such an unassuming title. And they even did a foreshadowing scene with Damon, Elena and the red rose in 1x18 ;)

S02.12 - Once Bitten (The Descent)
Ohhhhh Great!

S02.18 - Substitute Teacher (The Last Dance)
Good one! :D

S02.20 - The Last Day
I can't possibly dislike the title alluding to the last day of actual SE ever ;) Nonetheless, I wish we could find something that also encompassed Damon's incessant and hopeless pro-activeness throughout this episode.

Sadly not really. 99.9% of TV shows don't have a first episode title. They're almost all Pilot. Annoys me. Always will, LOL!

I'd like to believe it's not specifically about Elena finding out about Katherine, but rather about Stefan failing Elena in some way for the first time

Exactly. That's what the Photograph signifies. It works literally, but also for what that photograph represents. That's how I see it anyway.

So many of these original titles are kind of blah, I don't really know why.

I think it's because they're afraid of giving stuff away.

Carnival Ride (Brave New World)
Flawless title is flawless ♥

I LOVE this one! One of my faves.

Florencia: Damon (Stardust to Remember You By)florencia7 on July 11th, 2013 02:20 am (UTC)
S03.01 - The Ripper Returns (The Birthday)
I actually like both. The Birthday is probably the only lame title that I like lol It's just very appropriate, a clear sign that Elena begins a new chapter of her life (and she walks into her Birthday party with Damon by her side AND she's wearing a white dress, like in 4x23 ;)

S03.02 - An Army Of One (The Hybrid)
YES, such a good episode deserves a better title than the original one lol I definitely like yours better.

S03.04 - Take Me As I Am (Disturbing Behavior)
I like yours! I never liked the original one.

S03.07 - Night of Illumination (Ghost World)
Wonderful idea!

S03.09 - A Question Of Trust (Homecoming)
I love yours.

S03.10 - Guilty Conscience (The New Deal)
Aw Let's not put guilt in there! Lol I like how The New Deal suggests that after this episode things will never be the same (and I just realized I interpret all of these with DE in mind. Oh well ^^)

S03.14 - The Original Family Tree (Dangerous Liaisons)
I LOVE this one! ♥

S04.01 - Do Not Go Gentle (Growing Pains)
I love love love this title here! (Growing Pains may be one of my least favorites ever.)

S04.03 - Truth Be Told (The Rager)
Great one :D

S04.07 - The Red Dress (My Brother's Keeper)
I like this one!

S04.08 - Two In A Million (We'll Always Have Bourbon Street)
Fantastic! ♥

S04.14 - Goodbye Cruel World (Down The Rabbit Hole)
I like both, but I like yours better.

S04.15 - Strike A Match (Stand By Me)
Ohhhh I really like this one!

S04.17 - Play Me (Because The Night)
I like the original title as a title, but I don't like it as a title for this particular episode. It just seems to be making some weird connection between Damon/Lexi and Damon/Elena scenes and it just feels... *wrong* lol I like yours MUCH better!

S04.22 - Hooked On A Feeling (The Walking Dead)
I LOVE this one!

Guilty Conscience (The New Deal)
Aw Let's not put guilt in there! Lol I like how The New Deal suggests that after this episode things will never be the same (and I just realized I interpret all of these with DE in mind. Oh well ^^)

This is one that is more than D/E. Yes, it refers to Damon's guilt... but Stefan was also guilty about betraying Damon (and Elena to a degree). Tyler was guilty about what was going on with Klaus and what he made him do to Jeremy. Elena was guilty about what she did to Jeremy. It really fit the episode all-around.

The Original Family Tree (Dangerous Liaisons)
I LOVE this one! ♥

Probably my favorite, LOL!

Do Not Go Gentle (Growing Pains)
I love love love this title here! (Growing Pains may be one of my least favorites ever.)

Yup! And that title fits SO MUCH BETTER here.

like the original title as a title, but I don't like it as a title for this particular episode. It just seems to be making some weird connection between Damon/Lexi and Damon/Elena scenes and it just feels... *wrong* lol

EXACTLY! You put into words my exact problem with it. Thank you!

Hooked On A Feeling (The Walking Dead)
I LOVE this one!

This is another favorite. :D

ETA: As I said I'm not 100% with all of the ones I did, so I made a few changes so far --

1.11 - Who I Am (referring to Elena and her adoption, relation to Katherine as well as the fun Elena she used to be, the reveal of what Damon is to Alaric--killing Isobel--and also who Damon is in regards to him killing Bree for betraying him.)

1.13 - Promise Not To Tell (refers to Elena/Stefan keeping their betrayal a secret from Damon, Stefan promising Damon to not tell their father about Katherine, Damon promising Katherine/Pearl that he wouldn't tell their secret, and of course Anna not telling Jeremy the truth at all about who she is.)

4.19 - A Step Too Far (Damon/Stefan backing off from Elena until she goes too far, trying to kill April and Bonnie, Silas losing his uber-control on Bonnie because he goes too far using Jeremy)

As I think up, possibly change more, do you want me to respond in this thread letting you know the changes?

I actually tried to do something a bit similar once, only that I was just trying to match existing book titles with particular episodes. Sometimes the focus is on the contents of the book, sometimes just on the title ;)

1x01: Something Wicked This Way Comes
1x10: Journey to the End of the Night
2x04: The Age of Innocence
2x01: Paradise Lost
2x12: Crime and Punishment
2x20: The Trial
3x01: Waiting for Godot
3x04: All Quiet on the Western Front
3x05: Requiem for a Dream
3x06: Where the Heart Is
3x09: Hopscotch
3x11: All's Well That Ends Well
3x14: Pride & Prejudice
3x18: V for Vendetta
3x22: White Noise
4x01: Being and Nothingness
4x06: Never Let Me Go
4x07: Red Storm Rising
4x08: Gone with the Wind
4x09: One Hundred Years of Solitude
4x10: Revolutionary Road
4x15: And Then There Were None

Oh, that's cool. I'm gonna go through my titles and look at the ones I'm not in love with and see what you have here to see if any fit better! :D

ETA: Hah! Starting a new chain of comments here --

How about "No More Tears" for 4.15?
