I like seeing Freya partying it up. I don't know what to make of that creepy brother and sister in (Tibet? Bhutan), but I will keep watching.

I thought they would do a better job, but the combination of lame villains and no Elena is doing the show no favors.

Technically, I think Jeremy should own the house now, not that Elena was smart enough to leave a will, despite living in Mystic Fucking Falls.

Nope. Humans can't revoke invitations. They can die or transfer the deed. If they could revoke invitations, vamps like Kol and Damon would have been stuck outside the Gilbert house.

It was such a boring way to kill him. It made me wonder why on earth nobody decapitated him, like, the entire season.

I don't believe that they established that invitations can be revoked. Matt died and the ownership was transferred. He did not "revoke" the invitation. What happened to Caroline and Stefan is what happened to Elijah after Elena took the dagger out of him in S2. Matt no longer owns the house, so his invitation is no…

IIRC, there was a first season ep with that title.

SPOILER ALERT: NEXT SEASON IS JUST A 22-EPISODE CROSSOVER WITH RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE!

Misinterpreted due to the combination of your and Carrie's comments. Sorry!

Right? She's been a presence on the show from day 1. Though maybe they knew Dobrev was leaving after the end of the next season and decided to get rid of all the characters she played. It was, at the very least, a very dramatic way to get rid of her character.

It's time for him to go hunter and kill all the actual evil people, i.e., his friends.

Ugh, I know. I love Joseph Morgan as an actor, but they just ruined that character. Every fucking episode— "I am terrified of love, so I betray people all the time! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME?!?!?!?"

I'd say watch it just to see how much you like it. No references to last season (I agree the end was a total cop-out), but they seem to have something neat cooking for this season. I enjoyed it more than the TVD premiere.

They were in the same cell during that weird annual party. I like to think the Augustine demonstrations included a lot of kissing and a tasteful amount of oral.

Hahaha. Plot Twist: JEREMY HAD A SEX CHANGE TO BECOME JENNY, VAMPIRE HUNTER OF THE FUTURE.

Oh, yeah, Caroline. But he banged Rose and Andie and Bex after Katherine returnned, not while she was hiding.

Also, everyone survives explosions on this show, so it's stupid to try to kill anyone via explosion. Or fire in general. Vampires heal quickly, so unless the fire is super prolonged, it's unlikely to cause lasting damage.

I did, too, but considering how young the cast tilts . . . I guess it makes sense? Lily likes to mother all young people except for her own sons, after all.

YUP. And if this dumbness continues, I am out. It sucks. I actually joined The A.V. Club specifically so I could talk about TVD, because none of my IRL friends watch it and I was so impressed with the commenting community here. And it's not like it's a super popular show here, so I don't need to search for my comments…

Nah, he's black, so he must be a Bennett witch.
