What did you like? In the humour department, Damon can still make a grown woman skip. Great to see Bonnie and Damon back in action together again. Ian Somerhalder gave another good performance. Also there was a beautiful shot of Damon in the shadows last night where he actually looked liked the fictional magical post-human creature that was Damon in the books.
Laughed when Bonnie wisecracked about being trapped in the L Word last week with Nora and Mary Louise. [On a meta-level, Elena's birth mother (Alaric's wife killed and turned by Damon) also played the main role of Jennie on the L Word for multiple seasons.]
Matthew Davis also gave a nuanced performance as Ric as a new Dad. Two thumbs up to see Alaric actually have something good happen in his life.
Even Enzo was solid. Liked the direction. Rayna's back story -- though not fresh -- was handled in the classic TVD style. Stefan's good byes were sweet. And I liked his big vamp zip out of there. Liked the flash forward, too.
What you did not like? Beau's fate -- seriously? The Heretics were rather a pathetic mess. These were supposed to be the big bad, supernaturals so awful the Gemini created an alternative prison world to contain them? Or was that just for Lily? Steroline this season is pretty pale in comparison to the last two seasons -- even Stefan was given a kind of one-dimensional role tonight.
What was your favorite scene/quote? "Elizabeth -- in honour of your mother." BAWL!!!

This show has gotten to the point where I ain't even mad because the plot has gotten so stupid. Rayna, who pretty worthless vampire huntress she is, why not just kill Damon and Enzo? But no we have to this whole convoluted process of stabbing them and hunting them. Its ridiculous. She did not strike fear in me whatsoever.
The heretics are problematic with their mythology because it lacks logic. How do coven members even carry a baby if its a heretic, would it not siphon em dry? I have a million questions about how screwed up the mythology. Caroline Dries you are terrible at your job.
oh There you are Beau....good bye Beau. WHAT THE !!!! Seriously, no seriously, There is an epic rant in my head that I can't publish here because the curse words are many.
The Flashfowards are an awful device that negates anything that happens during the show because it takes away from any tension or conflict their current plots have. in the beginning it was slightly effective and now it is just tiresome.
What to like....the upcoming crossover, in which I hope Stefan stays in NO with the Mikaelsons and leaves Mystic Falls behind forever.

Arghh!!! I'm so annoyed - not at the show but in the fact that we were neck and neck with the states in episodes but now since the mid season break and return we are behind in episodes so I'm only up to this one and am finding it terribly hard not to jump ahead and read more episodes! Also I'm going to be behind in commenting on all the episodes thanks to this I'm actually not minding this season though I do totally understand and agree with what crimmyj is saying.... Stefan and Damon weren't being haunted in this episode? Which leads me to the point that wouldn't Damon have looked into the fact that he apparently burnt Elenas body more? Like he knew he was unstable and seeing things after the Phoenix Stone yet he just automatically believed he'd done it. Didn't question it at all. Though I suppose if he had of then we wouldn't have seen him drunk and hanging with the scantily clad Krystal with a K.....(how many Delena fans cried and bood at that ) So far there hasn't been a big return to season 1 Damon - I mean he's being selfish, but isn't he always? He's being mopey and drinking, nothing original there. And as usual Stefan has to step in and save his brother from him self which earns him the stupid X. I mean because obviously we can't just have Caroline popping the babies out (ok ok there wasn't exactly much popping going on) and her and Stefan actually have a proper relationship, Stefan has some happiness while his selfish, feeling sorry for himself brother who has no life until his GF wakes up could've got stabbed and been on the run instead. But no. Alas once again it is Stefan who has to give up everything and go on the run.... I wish Damon had of had the balls to tell Bonnie what he thought he'd done to Elena. I liked crimmyj's comment on the pregnancy - all I was thinking with the c section scene was Caroline's a vampire, wouldn't they cut her open and she'd close up again? The scene with Ric and naming one of the twins Elizabeth was lovely, I must admit I had a little tear and yes it was very nice to see Alaric have something nice in his life for once! Stefans flashes of Caroline before he vamp sprinted away was a bit sad as well. Seriously he's had to give up two wonen he loved dearly because of Damon - brother of the century! I'm guessing the whole "you look like my girlfriend" or whatever it was Damon said at the hospital means there is a Petrova connection like we all discussed pre season?
