Maybe Victoria's goon from the cabin did the lifting.

Aiden propped up in the chair dead-eyed and open-mouthed as Emily shook and shook him just made me laugh like a drain - I felt so bad about it!

Excuse me, Joshua John Miller was Homer in Near Dark. He could do nothing again ever in his life, and this was still make me awesome.

Well, Helena is not exactly low-key, so even not covered in blood she probably would have been noticed.

The blood was Daniel's, so it wasn't bloody when she entered the building.

Hugh Dancy in his winter coats and scarfs - oh my.

Does he really get paid six figures per show? Or did that include the decimal places. Because I would think even the biggest touring artists in the world don't manage that every night.

I'm curious how you feel about Michael's return - does who he is and why he's back make sense? Obviously a lot of the back-story here is on TVD, and I'm wondering how it plays to those who don't watch both shows.

Nathaniel Buzolic (Kol) was in the Supernatural spin-off pilot so he may not be available.

I thought for a moment she might be writing for them, which would be cool. Although that vampire book she wrote was pretty awful.

I took it as Dean disguising his bloodlust - he wanted to grab the blade and go in swinging, and knew Sam would react badly to that.

SE Hinton?! How is she involved?

Even though we didn't see much of Jennifer, she did still feel like a completely different character to me. Just more proof of Tatiana Maslany's brilliance.

I've wondered about this with Alison and Donnie. Alison said that they'd been together years - since their teens possibly, or maybe from college, I don't remember. If it was since their teens, Donnie couldn't possibly have 'targeted' Alison, he must have been recruited by Dyad at some later point. That does fit in…

"A better use of this exceptional character would have been to have her sit Stefan down, get the recount of events out of him and then beat it into his pretty hero hair that he has nothing to feel guilty over. Also, please give her the opportunity to rake Enzo over the coals. It needs to happen."

Too much in this episode annoyed me.

The writers could so easily turn that line into something more palatable:
"Everything we've been through … if we can handle that, we can handle this."
"Everything we've been through … all of is has been the perfect preparation for this."

I found the final 'revelation' that Momma had also lost someone really didn't have the impact it was supposed to. Finding out this is enough for Alex to go from uncertainty, to willing to let Jody kill Momma. That doesn't read true to me.

I meant out of the things you eat.

What have we always said is the most important thing?
