ONE THOUSAND LIKES. Especially this: "Meanwhile, her friends might preach occasionally, but they'll be using her constantly, thus undercutting any moral authority they might be able to temporarily muster. I would love for Bonnie to be forced to confront the amoral chaos of her "my friends, right or wrong" stance…"

Last thoughts on ep:1) OMG, Stefan Salvatore, I freaking love you. You were in all your best forms tonight. Dark!Stefan is the best Stefan…sweet, sensitive, creepy, diabolical…in a pleasant way, lol…I love it all. Carry on.  Oh, I forgot to mention. Not-taking-anymore-of-Damon’s-shit-Stefan. Bravo.

How do you reply to a reply? The button's not there…oh well…replying to your post below.

remembered their names, weird—I…

Yeah, yeah, late and all. I agree w/ all of this. Especially prefering darker Stefan to Ripper Stefan. It's more layered, and gives you more to work with..-Ripper Stefan is just out of control…so not much to analyze. Anyway, I was trying to reply to your post further below, and don't know how so…

I'm not late, I'm early for next time.

One of my biggest frustrations is when people misread
