Oh but the way she keeps going back to Stefan— it's felt much less triangulated in these past few episodes than last season.

re: C: I don't understand why Elena's character flaw would be that she is so compassionate and loving that she can't be practical. She's been practical in the past… and now she hasn't killed anyone, and probably won't because the writers wouldn't do that to her character. Was she vegetarian/vegan before? Because…

Professor FratParty was a massive red flag. The second they saw him at the party, my first thought was— how unprofessional! There's no way he's got tenure yet. He's so fired. Unless he gets killed first, since this is Vampire Diaries.

I know! That seems a huge narrative oversight. Dude needs to take that thing off. Or did everyone decide that he is at a bigger risk of dying from a random supernatural death than becoming a serial killer? OR do the Gilbert rings not have consequences for the Gilberts, and since Alaric wasn't a Gilbert, that's why his…

Oh no, then it would just be a broody drama about feelings and death.

As soon as Klaus said he had an interest in Elena again last week, I had a sinking feeling in my gut that this is the way they might go. And that's TERRIBLE. If Elena can't enjoy being a vampire, then just end this love triangle now and give Damon a separate love interest who likes to have fun (and preferably cause…

I notice that there are no comments on why Elena is suddenly important to Klaus again. I'm guessing it has something to do with Connor being one of "the five"… and I'm really hoping it doesn't turn into a way to make Elena human again (which is the only reason I can figure Klaus is interested, so he can make more…

I don't know how I am still surprised! Every time, though, every time, I am surprised. And then that surprise is followed by surprise at being surprised.

I got the sense that Esther was from the Original family and also a witch, rather than being the Original witch.
