I've stuck it out for 8 episodes on Hulu and it's still vaguely entertaining. I really loved how in last week's episode two of the teen characters stayed in a hotel (gasp!) and when they opened the mini-fridge there was Not American Beer and a lot of Not American Chocolate. So they didn't even try for American product…

For me, Stefan turning out to be another doppleganger was just straight-up jumping the shark.

I think the one thing I hated about that whole speech is just that it's been said about 80 times before and that the words were just words at this point. They sounded like the kind of speeches that people give when they're trying to convince themselves they're doing the right thing when they know they aren't. That…

Katherine has been making her way around the globe, indulging in only the finest genitals, and acquiring the best wardrobe on the show.

Thanks. Yeah, we have digital tv and it froze and pixelated a lot this episode. I missed Stefan telling Damon something touching (I'm guessing it was touching because there was music swellage after) and a bunch of other stuff. Like the throwaway line explicitly stating the bond was broken that someone quotes above. So…

EXACTLY. But then I thought it would suck if they had Bonnie and Jeremy plotting how to return from the other side for a whole season. This solution, Jeremy alive and Bonnie dead, is only moderately better.

Meh. That's weaksauce. As is the assertion that vampire blood passes out of your system. I'd suggest the writers be spanked, but they might enjoy it. :p

[Disclaimer: I'm NOT a huge fan of the books, but I did read them and I do bring them up occasionally. Like I will now.]

TV Gods, please let Tyler and Matt shack up together in bromantic bliss. :p

Pretty sure Klaus cured him. Which is sort of the same thing as magic. As in: *POOF!* Klausreturnsandopensaveinandeverythingisbetter!

It was weird, but maybe on The Other Side you have to prioritize your unfinished business and the thing at the top of his list was kicking Elena and Jeremy's asses for setting him on fire. :/

You're nicer than me, dude, my first thought was "Don't go away mad, just go away." :p

Kat Graham is staying with the show and will be a regular next season. Which means Bonnie might actually DO SOMETHING in season 5. Are you as excited about this as I am? (Yeah, lack of capslock is a clue, there.)

Totally random but I hope that whole reflection thing comes up again. I love how they did that reveal. Even more, though, it would be so cool if maybe every time Silas decided to try and get into someone's head in whatever form he wants to take he showed up in a reflection (window, massive cellphone, rear view mirror,…

Wouldn't that be sweet? They could form a drinking club. Or a band! Or all be substitute teachers. And next time there's a bachelor auction it would be all-Alaric. And if the town had a strip club-

You would, but apparently the writers decided to spare us the thousands of possible storylines and limit themselves to just a handful. I wanted to see Finn and Sage put the hurt on a few people too, but alas [insert Stones quote here].

Ah, but he's apparently Not Enjoying It because he still has feelz about wiping out an entire village in California in the (18?)20s. Whereas Damon and Elena love their steady. eat/something I forget/erase lifestyle.

Damon and Elena's "I'm not sorry" confessional were pretty overdramatic and contrived, like an oversaturated version of the Caroline & Klaus scene.

As it this will either destroy everything that is cool about her or turn her into Jamie Lannister. There is no in between.

No unfinished business? Yes and no (I feel like when Jeremy ghost-whispered her she sort of did her thing and said her goodbyes). And she is, and it's probably a good thing because it might lead to AN ACTUAL PLOT FOR BONNIE, rather than her just walking around being The Bennett Witch.
