I've only seen her on True Blood before, but yes, she truly seems to bring it every time she appears on my screen. This was not as great as earnestly saying "Thank you, Jesus!" right after assaulting someone's skull with her high heels, but the intensity was there.

I will be very disappointed if "What the damn hell?" are not the words Lily opens the phone call the next night

Yes. I wonder if Jeremy still being a Hunter is a thing that will matter further along in the season.

I think the show suggested that travelers are supernatural by definition, like a special kind of witches. Silas was one of the travelers and that was ancient Greece two thousand years ago, far before the first gypsies arrived in Europe. It's a little confusing on just how supernatural they were and if Q was just the…

The white oak stake can kill Klaus. They're just not going to do it because everyone else on the show would die.

I think that at this point it's impossible for Damon and Elena not to break up. There will always be this insecurity about universe working against them and it will eventually drive them apart. Self-fulling prophecy.

Him being with Q in the afterlife was never the intention, she just wanted to send his soul to limbo/the other side so he wouldn't get to enjoy actual afterlife.

Maybe Imara had a kid before she met Silas. And the doppelganger line might continue with Katherine.

When I started with this show, I was hatewatching it. It got better, of course, but most of my friends have only seen the first episode or two and didn't give it another chance.

I hope all three of them (if Imara's coming back, which seems likely) are gone for good by the end of the season, the storyline is not bad, but shouldn't expand more than it absolutely needs to.

Katherine had Stefan and still has feelings for him, just less feelings than she has for herself.

Grooming his hero hair throughout the centuries

The best part of this episode: Katherine's "oh shit" face when Silas told her her blood is the new cure.

I didn't think it was that bad. Then again, I really, really hate the usual Stefan hairstyle.

Oh. Well, fuck.

And now you might get her back.

Was the original Ruby badly received? I only started watching the eight seasons last year and liked her. Maybe because of the contrast with Ruby2, who was terrible.

About Klaroline - wasn't shipping that either, their scenes together were very cute, but Caroline would never be okay with that relationship.

Does anyone remember if any hybrid's blood cures the werewolf bites or if that's just Klaus?

Oh yeah, devil's traps, forgot about those. I thought they got another version of the colt or something.
