I can believe Elena's over it now too, but honestly, that's kind of a big step and a big change in her character and I wish the show addressed it. In Season 4 she did want it but only if it was the best use for it. So if it made more sense to give it to Silas and then kill him, that's what she wanted. That seemed like…

As far as the Nina/Ian breakup and its onscreen effect—I wonder about that too. I think they're both professionals, and I expect Damon to be back with Elena soon, and probably with Katherine at some point in the future (she's NOT dying, dangit!). But I have noticed that Damon and Elena's actual scenes together this…

Seriously though, there is no reason Jeremy isn't living with Matt instead of Damon. Unless Jeremy is in some imminent danger I'm not aware of. And even if he were, it would probably be from vampires, and if he were living in the Lockwood house, they could probably keep them out with that whole threshold thing.

Well, either Klaus doesn't care about making hybrids anymore, or he isn't aware that Katherine took the cure, or the cure does something to the doppelganger blood that renders it useless. I think it's the latter? Anyone remember?

This made me laugh, but now I also realize that ol' Hamilton The Babe Porter looks like a classic internet troll! Might be time for a change.

Aw, I don't mind Nadia's motivation being nothing more than a relationship with Katherine. This show has a lot of parent issues, and I think they could actually explore those a little more. Spend a little more time on the familial bonds and less time on love triangles.

I think he was turned in WW2, but we have no reason to believe that he had a daylight ring. He either had a daylight [other piece of jewelry] that for some reason Augustine let him keep, or they figured out a scientific way to make him immune to sunlight.

That Damon/Elena breakup went down in about the worst possible way. IF we have to deal with this awful retcon, then at least we could have had Elena snap out of this horrible boring selfish soulless funk she's been in. Her anger and horror at something Damon did could have lasted for longer than five minutes, and she…

I loved that Moira just knew. She is such a great character.

"So Damon never had any flashes of his torture time while hanging out with Elena at Whitmore? Never any subconscious inkling he should urge her to consider another institution of higher learning? This is bothersome."
Yeah, the whole thing makes no sense. If he really did kill Aunt Sara and all the other Whitmores over…

"We get it writers, Klaus is not pure evil b/c abandonment issues & loneliness."

Sure - it's midway through this interview: http://www.buzzfeed.com/don…

I guess the characters who died last week were all from Ancient Greece, (still laughing about that, now and forever), whatever that means, but since Qetsiyah was played by a woman of Indian descent, I would count it as 2 white characters and 1 POC.

I was getting that vibe for all of last season (aside from Humanity-Off Elena), and this season. That the writers are still behind Elena, and think that this is growth, and that viewers should accept and love this version of Elena. Up until the last two episodes. First she was so over-the-top selfish in that scene…

Damon claimed that Jesse was going to take his head off (Ripper style, I guess?) so that was the danger. Elena should have injured, but not killed him and they could have figured something out.

The thesis that The CW is going to become *even sorrier* with the loss of Nikita—which I've never watched, but I'm sure I'd enjoy—is so dismissive and snooty, I don't really know what to do with it. I watch more shows on The CW than I do all other networks combined. Arrow is probably my favorite show on TV right now;…

I think this is why I'm glad Klaus and Caroline are on different shows. Obviously the characters have chemistry, and I do find Klaus's interactions with Caroline very interesting. But having her accept him as he is now would only weaken her character, the way I feel Elena has been weakened. (I'm sorry, people who love…

Tessa was going to be on the other side too—that's where she was, before Bonnie dropped the veil last season. Why she was OK with Amara and Silas being able to have contact with each other, I don't know.

Yeah, it was weird. He threw the knife into Silas, and then as he was going into his death throes, first Stefan and then Amara seemed to be hit with some pain. That's why he was sort of MIA while Amara was killing herself.

Ohhhhhhhhhh. That's what that was. I still don't get why Stefan went down with the cramps before Amara died though.
