Spin-off! Having resisted for some time, Sandile has recently watched "13 Going on 30", so your hosts chat coming-of-age, early 00's romcoms, the typecasting of Judy Greer, and the loss of fun in movies (Fadzai also dishes on some actor drama from the early days of Grey's Anatomy). Additionally - Glee conflicts, reality television, and various Spider-Man fails.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of homophobia and racism.

Small victories! Sandile and Fadzai smile in the face of adversity as they return to form with Caroline Forbes.

A main character of The Vampire Diaries, Caroline is introduced as one of Elena Gilbert's best friends, though slightly removed from her as compared to Bonnie Bennett. Her time in the show's first season largely deals with her insecurity around Elena, and with others' opinions of her, as well as her pursuit of romance while ignorant of the supernatural goings-on in Mystic Falls.

The second season begins with her transition into a vampire, which transforms Caroline both as a person and as a character becoming more involved in the main plot. She quickly becomes the most well-adjusted of the vampires in the Mystic Falls Gang, shedding a lot of her past issues and growing into a stronger, self-asserted, and caring woman - rivaling few as the best character on the show.

(This episode focuses on Caroline in seasons 3 and 4.)

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of conversion therapy, emotional abuse, grief and loss, homophobia, mental coercion and manipulation, physical abuse, racism, sexual abuse, assault and related victim blaming, stalking, suicide and suicidal ideation, and torture.

In the seventeenth episode of the podcast, Sandile and Fadzai shine bright with their first choice - Caroline Forbes.

A main character of The Vampire Diaries, Caroline is introduced as one of Elena Gilbert's best friends, though slightly removed from her as compared to Bonnie Bennett. Her time in the show's first season largely deals with her insecurity around Elena, and with others' opinions of her, as well as her pursuit of romance while ignorant of the supernatural goings-on in Mystic Falls.

The second season begins with her transition into a vampire, which transforms Caroline both as a person and as a character becoming more involved in the main plot. She quickly becomes the most well-adjusted of the vampires in the Mystic Falls Gang, shedding a lot of her past issues and growing into a stronger, self-asserted, and caring woman - rivaling few as the best character on the show.

(This episode focuses on Caroline in seasons 1 and 2.)

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of emotional abuse, mental coercion and manipulation, physical abuse, racism, sexual abuse and assault, stalking, suicidal ideation, and torture.

More specifically, Caroline's story in the first arc of Season 1 includes her sexual abuse and assault at the hands of Damon Salvatore; the assault is discussed in specific detail from (00:21:45) to (00:27:08), and more generally throughout the episode.
