yeah, I'm Czech… not sure if that deserves a high five, though :)

yes, i also need examples of this wonderful "hate men" genre so I can watch them all

She *told him* he inherits the advantage if she's gone. That was the move she made, not actually giving it to him. Wouldn't make sense for any other player because she'd basically be saying "hey, you will benefit from voting me out", but Ken's… different.

Jess actually gave her reasoning for why she gave the legacy advantage to Ken over David. David saved her but Ken voted for her that tribal and she needed to do something to convince him he made the wrong choice

Well they did make Boston Rob happen! And everybody loved that season, right?

No, she didn't. I was hoping for an Aubry win last season as well, but Michele absolutely deserved her win and it's not her fault the edit didn't quite convey that.

There are two sides to Hannah's play this season, I think - one is that she was absolutely integral to keeping the foursome with her, Ken, David and Adam together until the end and I don't think she gets enough credit for that. The other is that she would make moves that were pretty much random just so that her game…

Man, are we really halfway through this season already? That really brings down the hope they will manage to wrap things up in any kind of satisfying way.

Jeff just had to get that one last theme insert in. I went from being straight up insulted that was seriously the theme this season to loving how bizarre Jeff's musings about the generational divide are pretty fast.

yeah why would you keep Bonnie powerless all this time? this should happen immediately

Is TVD ending in March or is it just midseason? Because they can't really explain the Originals suddenly appearing on TVD given how the season 3 finale of TO ended.

"A social gathering goes horribly wrong" is one of my favorite dramatic tropes and I think TVD benefitted from it this episode. Caroline as the hostess is also the perfect person to center this around.

They've gotten self-aware about it, it's been a minor plot point in the past three seasons (like they introduced Sarah by "doesn't she remind you of Elena, hmm", Rayna by "look how much she looks like Elena" and with Seline we were meant to be unsure if the other Siren is her or Alaric's intern (whom I liked but don't…

yeahhh if somebody told us four seasons ago that Stefan/Caroline would be endgame with her kids with Alaric complicating things we'd laugh it off so hard… they had a great friendship and I was trying not to be too sceptical about them getting paired off, but it hasn't worked at all and let's just be glad they've…

Took a little time to get used to her, but honestly Sybil is one of my favorite villains right now. The actress has the right mix of charm/gravitas to pull this role off. Out of the three random pretty skinny brunette actresses cast into the new roles this year the one playing Seline is my absolute least favorite and…

Isn't it kind of sad when we collectively shrug off the death of somebody who's been a main character on the show for a couple of seasons and even had a pretty great storyline once upon a time? Tyler needed to die like three seasons ago, honestly. His stuff with Liz in season 6 was decent but that's about it.

He's always been good on the show, it's just that he got two season's worth of inane storylines clearly made up as an excuse to keep him around

Was that also when he drew her the pony? Man, the Klaus/Caroline relationship was crazy but I really wanted it to happen

I thought that too with the fire! Like, at no point it was mentioned that the mystical fire properties only apply to the candle itself and I thought that she wouldn't be able to put out the fire in the end. And yeah, the hucking happened offscreen.

The review mentions how fast Matt revealed Seline, but that was still the most frustrating part of this episode for me. Like, if Matt immediately phoned Ric or Caroline to tell them about how he knows what the siren looks like (which seems only logical to me), they would still have their daughters.
