the vampire diaries - How was Rebekah able to enter the Salvatore home?


The question addresses an event in the third season of the TV show The Vampire Diaries.


In the universe of The Vampire Diaries, a vampire cannot enter a house without being invited as long as it is owned/occupied by a living person. Towards the end of season two of The Vampire Diaries, Elena got the deed to the Salvatore home to provide her with a safe place. However, in season three episode six, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Rebekah, one of the original vampires, walked into the house without an invitation from Elena. How was Rebekah able to do this?



  • Did I miss when Elena invited her in? I do not think this is true since from the dialogue in the scene, Rebekah indicated this was her first time inside the house.

  • Are original vampires not limited in this way? This cannot be true because I remember in season two when Elena woke up Elijah, another original vampire, he had to go outside the house very quickly because he was not invited in.

  • Does Elena not own the house anymore?


  • Is this an error on the show writer's part?



Answer



The Salvatore house is no longer owned by Elena because if you remember, Elena died in Season 2 and thus now no longer owns the house.



  • Rebekah was not invited in by anyone.

  • Even original vampires still need an invite. Remember that no vampire could enter the secret cave in season 3.

  • No, Elena no longer owns the house because she died during the sacrifice.

  • Nope, not a writer error.



The episode when Elena died is the end of Season 2



when she was sacrificed (murdered) by Klaus, who needed to perform the ritual of her death and one vampire and one werewolf, so as to break the curse keeping him from becoming a hybrid. However, remember that her father did a spell to sacrifice his own life so that Elena would be brought back to life, which is the reason Elena didn't die permanently, since she is not immortal and does not have one of the immortal rings.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
