What to do:

1.) First of all, don't watch the tape. Hello, if people say that it's a tape that kills you if you watch it and and you're pretty certain that it's the tape that will kill you, don't freaking watch it!

2.) If you're just an idiot and you do want to watch the tape, then cover your eyes every once in a while or just cover them the whole time, then do it. You shouldn't die from that then.

3.) If you do watch the whole tape, then just make copies and send them to Red Box or something for an easy person to show the tape to.

4.) NEVER feel bad for Samara, no matter how innocent she may have seemed and that her death was unfair. She is evil and she wants to kill you.

5.) Why do you even have a VCR?

How to fight off:

1.) When Samara starts coming out of the T.V., have your Death Machine at the ready. If you don't have a Death Machine, then at least have a baseball bat or something.

2.) Smash the T.V. or something when she's walking towards the screen - how can she get out if the T.V. is broken?

3.) Before it's your seventh day, grab your T.V. and go to a nearby well, and when she starts to come out, throw the T.V. in there and seal it up. Deja vu, huh?

4.) Since Samara is drenched, it wouldn't hurt to throw some gasoline on her and then set her on fire. XD (idk if that will work)

5.) Call the ghostbusters or something, c'mon!

How to at least survive:

1.) Go ahead and be her mother, if she takes you back in time at least she won't be all dead and decayed.

2.) Let her drag you into the well and then climb out and shut the well again.

3.) Has at least ONE person in the world tried to go up to the little prick and snap her neck?

4.) Go with number 3 on "What to do"

5.) Go back in time and stop Anna from suffocating Samara and throwing her into that well and just treat the little girl right. Or at least take her back to the orphanage or wherever she came from I haven't seen The Ring Two since forever. But still try and be resilient and not feel bad for Samara.
