Ha! True re Oxfordians. And I do like watching Jacobi, but his stance on the authorship question is just tedious. As an aside, Ben Whishaw was a phenomenal Richard II.

Which, when you think about it, is rather appropriate for Piz.

Argh.

You've hit upon a great ending, which, of course naturally segues into a spinoff, which, of course, should be called Just a Girl. (Just a Lass?)

He definitely gives learning to cook an egg a certain je ne sais quoi.

agree completely on the future Caroline I-told-you-so

"Welcome Michael Malarkey as the mysterious Enzo. Your voice is incredible, sir. I am glad you are still alive, whatever you are."
This, exactly.
I agree with Carrie's assessment of Damon's arc; but jeez louise Michael Malarkey has a voice.

I'm going against the prevailing winds here, but even as an anchor, and with the much-lauded hairdo, Bonnie remains a painfully boring character to watch. I find myself looking forward to her pain as supernatural beings die, but then want her to just_stop_yelling once it happens. She and Jeremy have never had…

Fucking exactly.

testing, testing.
Almost naked Shadow Lass, check. At least I figured out how to log in.

I just wish SHIELD wasn't boring me to death. The casting outside of Coulson is just poor, which is part of why the writing feels so flat.

Exactly this.

Derek Jacobi for the win. I loved his Richard II (not that we have many film versions to compare, as mentioned).

My Shakespeare prof also insisted that Bolingbroke was most definitely conveniently predisposed to condemning Richard.

I hate Bonnie. Hate her. Her death means nothing to me - except in the context of no more Jasmine Guy cameos, which would of course be the saddest thing ever.

I fully support Elijah as the main Original. Bring Rebekah along for the ride. Let Klaus be a guest star, say, once a month.

ELIJAH.

what you said. what JJ Abrams said.

Agreed. Who the hell is styling her this season?
