I'm actually loving this snarky no-humanity Stefan. Personally, the highlight of the episode is when he called Elena and Damon's relationship "vomit-inducing"

I hate to see Quinn so broken, but Rupert Friend did a great job and I hope he gets a lot of screen time even if his storyline is uncomfortable at times.

C'mon it's not just a bell, it's a "super-bell". I actually laughed out loud when that Armory guy called it that.

At least Bonnie gets a romantic trip to Paris with Enzo. She deserves a break from this bunch.
I actually like No-Humanity Stefan. At least Paul Wesley attempts to act engaged and doesn't phone it in for once.

The way Shameless handled Ian's mental illness in the earlier seasons was very enlightening, but as soon as Mickey was written out of the show, Ian's bipolar storyline was put on the back burner. Since then, his character hasn't had much to do.

The Last Kingdom's theme song sucked, although nothing compares to Fever Rays "If I had a Heart".

Yeah, I'm not an Aslaug fan but how is she unfit to be queen? Kattegat has flourished while Ragnar took off for a decade. All Lagertha has done is brought upheaval.

I've finished season two a few days ago and I enjoyed it much more than the first season. Faster pacing, and less meandering episodes.

Luke Kleintank is easy on the eyes, but he's just not up to the task.

Especially when he's dressed in head-to-toe leather, I just wish it wasn't a Nazi uniform.

Interesting ideas. I just finished season two, and all I will say is that I found Joe Bland's storyline the weakest.

She was played by Tiio Horn, so it was actually a mini cast reunion because she was on Hemlock Grove with Joel de la Fuente.

Honestly Ian isn't that interesting without Mickey. I didn't even care about him until they started hooking up.
I would love for Mickey to be written back into the show, but I just feel like that ship has sailed.

Alexa Davalos had a small part playing a bad-ass on Angel years ago, so I was expecting more pluck, but Juliana has turned out to be very disappointing as the girl you're supposed to be rooting for.

When your favorite character is a Nazi, you know you made a casting mistake.

I'm really liking the Ragnar/Ivar dynamic, and would totally watch the spin-off series The Adventures of the Old Man and the Cripple.

I think Noel Fisher abruptly leaving the show did not help in the slightest. They built this thoughtful, amazing storyline over the course of 5 seasons, and had to abandon it indefinitely. The writers could have handled it better, but I'm sure they never if or when the actor would agree to come back.
btw-does anyone…

I'm actually satisfied with the conclusion of the Mickey/Ian storyline. I was so worried that they were going to be involved in a shoot-out and that Mickey would be killed off.
I liked that Mickey got to get some things off his chest, and he was noticeably hurt that Ian abandoned him in prison. His reason for not…

Geena Davis was seriously creepy in this episode. Great performance!
I wonder if Maria is gonna switch sides soon, considering she was humiliated by Angela/Pazuzu. She's got something up her sleeve.

I actually didn't think Amelia was a great agent. She should have picked someone who actually knows something about baseball. For one, it was her terrible idea to demand Ginny's BF/ teammate not to get traded, and got shit on by Oscar (rightfully so)
I think part of Ginny's anxiety attacks and that one time she went…
