And Kat Graham is so underrated. Dobrev gets all the hype with how she's able to portray multiple characters, but I don't think she portrays any of them as well as Graham does Bonnie.

They were sort of unique but the problem was that they weren't unique enough, I think.

How involved is Plec with the show nowadays? I'd expect The Originals to take up a lot of her time and all.

It has been established that Jenna either never was on the other side or moved on very quickly. Vicki is one of the people who got sucked out earlier this season.

I know I should agree with you on Alaric, but… nope. Doesn't count. I like him more now than I did when he was alive the first time. More Alaric at all costs.

They seriously need to do some character work on her next season. I thought that's where they were going when they revealed that her adoptive father used to be a member of Augustine, but nope.

It's pretty much why I wouldn't want them to write her off completely. She's still the center of the story and she deserves leaving on a better note than "barely a character anymore".

It involves Esther's spellbook which isn't available to witches on TVD as far as I know, so probably yes.

Mikael got back without Bonnie's actual presence. Maybe he passed through her, but it happened offscreen and he returned in New Orleans.

I should be studying right now, but going to the vampire diaries tag on tumblr and drinking the shipper tears is just so satisfying.

And Elena had personality and did things! They were pretty auxiliary, but they were things.

I think this season mainly suffered from poor long-term planning (they closed the Silas arc pretty early and the rest of the season seemed sort of random until Travellers took over). Last season was pretty scattered too, but it had the unifying theme of Elena's transformation and there was nothing like that here.

Good point! I'd prefer if both stayed dead, but this makes sense.

They can just feed her vampire blood.

I think Tyler is the only one (he was stripped of the magic while still alive).

She could only do that because of the Other Side related hijinks on TVD and the finale seemed to pretty much close those off. The timeline of the two shows is a bit wonky and I wouldn't mind a Kol resurrection (he's actually the only one not alive right now, I think), so I'm up for any excuse, though.

I doubt they'd like each other.

Where did that lead on Lost? I never watched it past the first two seasons (nothing against the show, it just somehow dropped out of my rotation)

I don't think Davina can do that anymore.

…you're right, I somehow missed that.
