No, they showed her and she doesn't look like Qetsiyah.

And Nina Dobrev will play 10 roles in 3 shows!

Her speech was kind of meta, in a blatant, TVD kind of way.

Plec WISHES Degrasse Tyson would tweet her.

I'm rooting for Elena to have some alone time. She can study and solve murder mysteries with Caroline while Bonnie lurks in the background all creepy-like.

Sorry.

No, they made no mention of babies. I hope we'll find out at some point.

And then the Rippah will return, knowing Elena will totally forgive him once his humanity is restored!

Seriously, if industry professionals can watch Stand by Me without realizing what a revelation she is, they have no business working in Hollywood.

Oh, that was a good one. Nice intro to Bex, too.

Yeah, Elena and Stefan never really talked about their love all that much, which is why they worked as a couple. Damon and Elena were hot because they fought constantly and had insane chemistry, but now they're getting along and making obnoxious speeches. Last season's, "Or that, in death, you were the one who made me…

That sounds so healthy! I'm still worried I'll get completely wasted if I find out Jesse was a witch THE WHOLE TIME.

Come to think of it, what was the BEST flashback? I'd go with Ordinary People or Katerina.

NO INCEST!

Her blood was calcified THE WHOLE TIME!

Yes.

There's a lot off poverty, but it's also a very liberal state with a lot of social services in place. Most of the homeless people there were actually sent over from California. Local homeless tend to live with their families, on the beach, in tents.

I never watched True Blood, so I don't know what happened there. I do know that I like the prospect of a character who doesn't know anyone and can therefore see everything they do more-or-less objectively. Considering how morally depraved everyone on TVD is, I think this is a much-needed shift. Imagine the dialogue.

She's on a roaring rampage of revenge! I'm thinking of calling her Bizarro Beatrix Kiddo.

Yeah, I want to find out what's happening with their dead roommate, since she might tie into Elena's backstory in a way that isn't completely predictable. That and the Traveler stuff is a lot more interesting to me than our tale of epic doppelganger love.
