I really liked this episode, actually. It was fun and well-paced and I enjoyed Damon's nutty trip through ye olden version of hell. There was also no Steroline, which…thank GOD. I needed a break from ships.

It was on the verge of being good and then all the nonsense that has annoyed me all season came back with a vengeance. Again, death means nothing here. We all know that Damon and Stefan aren't staying dead, so what was the point of dragging out this dead horse of a plot and beating it to death for the second or third…

Yeah, I wasn't the biggest Cami fan (to put it very mildly) and even I was a little disturbed at the fridging. The good news (for you, at least) is that I have a hard time believing that she's actually dead. Death means very little in either universe at this point and I just can't see them letting go of this…

I am in love with this comment. Steroline truly is uninspired, insipid, and lazy. The concept was great, but the execution was utterly awful and tone-deaf at every turn. It also stunts Caroline's character development and makes it all about Stefan, and I'm not here for that. I will watch next season, but I'm going to…

I hated the Steroline stuff. The dynamic feels stilted, trite, and unsure of itself and it makes me cringe. I hated the conversation they had while Liz Forbes was just chilling in her casket in the background. I'm 1000% done with this Steroline stuff and I'm ready for them to move on.

I liked some parts of it. Lexi sacrificing herself was amazing, and I'm glad they're exploring the Damon/Bonnie trying to get back from the other side storyline. I thought Elena was a sporadic, overwrought mess and that makes me sad, because I've held out hope that she would become a more stable lead again. I'm not…

I still feel really confused when I try to casually process where on earth this season is going. It's been one convoluted plot after another and while I've appreciated some of the things they've done this season, I also feel like the characters' voices were utterly consumed by spending too much time on said convoluted…

I don't care for Cami, either. I don't get this character narratively. I feel like she's just kind of there and everything about her ties back to her relationship with Klaus. And as a psych major, her vagaries about Klaus' issues drive me up a wall. This was clearly the Google version of psychology at work here and…
