damn, such a good point re Lexi.  Plus, Bonnie, from the other side, should (I would think) be able to tell that's not really Stefan pretty quickly.  We shall see!

@avclub-7cbdf9bce9a6ebda0988f7c45702c176:disqus ditto.  his disappearance was so heart-breaking all over again.  wish Bonnie had been like "Elena needs her brother back AND her guardian.  Since I am so powerful I can trade my life for 2 lives, here we go!"  Makes almost as much sense as what we got, so, why not??

@avclub-011d0b4fe6835bb3d37ef4e0ea713de6:disqus I think you're on to something that I do not want to see either.

oh man, well done.

HA.  It was Carol though, wasn't it?  We never got a close up but I think it was.

I hear ya.  I get why his scenes at the wedding were absolutely perfect, but him popping in to the party back at the Office after the warehouse party with PBS would have been a really nice postmortem after the documentary aired.  maybe make a couple of comments about how far they've come, including himself?  It…

I feel exactly the same: a 13-episode order with this concept could produce some amazing television.  This, I worry about.

I sobbed for like an hour in their SPOILERS death episode so :P

seconded, on both.  never mind not locking it up, why keep the paternity test, period?

really thought it was the season finale and kind of wish it was, especially based on next week's previews, which might just send everything too over the top

you're right, could just be that.

then do itttt!

THIS.

true, 7 royal families, right?  7 kings over different territories, I'm assuming.  Guess they could be going the Game of Thrones route and trying to eliminate bastard claims to the throne

hahaha nooooooo

very much agree.

I like Mindy-Danny end game, but am not ready for it yet, so I am grateful there was no big kiss, especially as there is no way it could rival Nick-Jess's first kiss, and though the shows aren't at all the same, they draw comparisons by being right after each other on the same network and both having female leads, so…

Grading is not something I spend a whole lot of time thinking about, but a B-/C+ sounds about right.

loved that call-out too.  Especially Jeremy, "him, sometimes" since they really haven't gone back to the Bridget Jones-ish relationship those 2 kinda sorta had since the beginning of the season

agreed - she has had at least a few weeks, if not a few months, since Nick took that potion to get her and Renard out from under their spell, plus her visions as her memory came back, so that has all been leading to this moment of acceptance.
