Found my favorite uber angst-y scene from the other night between Elijah and Hayley. Damn, but Daniel Gillies can act. The look on his face when Hayley tells him she loves him; his body language in that scene. The crack in his voice when he says, "didn't work" - all perfection. The actress that plays Hayley is certainly better than she used to be. Maybe working with Gillies and Joseph Morgan has upped her game. Both Morgan and Gillies are way better actors than I'd expect to see on a CW show, and the show is all the more enjoyable for it.

Amen to that, sardonictart!
Gillies is my fave all around and his accent is heaven. The girl that plays Hayley is dating Stefan Salvatore in real life, so I really hope that her acting skills have been improved for being on The Originals vs. TVD.
Now these rumors are coming about that Ian Somerholder/Damon will be leaving the show? Apparently he's not extending his contract to the next season, so I have to wonder if he'll go through with what they're plotting from the last episode that he'll take his life in place of Stefan's? I prefer Damon a lot more than Stefan, but this show is shattering into so many shards that they better come up with a way to tighten up the storylines or just end the series. I mean, they've been doing a lot of this future back and forth (and a little snippet of the future cross-over into the Originals) that I worry they may be making next season its last. I'd feel better if they just move some of the more beloved characters to the Originals if they're really going to put the final stake in the proverbial coffin.

I'm with you on all of it, Spinderella, (cut it up one time). I'm sorry; I just couldn't resist. I loved Salt-N-Pepa and think of them every time I see your name. I also prefer Damon to Stefan, but doesn't everyone? Stefan is sooooooo whiny and manorexic. Blah. I think that they should just end the show either this year or next and move the best characters over to The Originals. The best characters, IMO, being Caroline (Cami watch out - THE girl is back in town), Bonnie (who is finally blossoming as a character - she could be the new witch liaison to the vampire/wolf communities), and Enzo (who is witty, murderous, loyal and so hot that he scorches my laptop in his scenes). Speaking of Bonnie and Enzo, I demand more screentime for their scorching hotness. I seriously love their relationship dynamic; I mean the eye f*cking in that scene is pure fire. They are both fiercely loyal people with no family ties who have been burned by Damon's friendship. Plus, they absolutely smolder together. Boy, if you wanna go I would not mind. But, I'm not the kinda drum you play one time...I would say bring over our favorite boozy history teacher, but he's only fun when Damon is around.

I actually guessed Lucian's treachery during The Originals last episode. I'm sorry that I was right about it; I kind of liked his brand of smart ass. Damn, Kol is in trouble if he already is completely out of control. I actually felt sorry for Finn too. He was just so broken at the idea of having to live life in 'that body'. It sort of feels like maybe they're making an allegory to being transgendered, but I'm probably reading too much into it.
On TVD, that Nora and Mary Louise scene was really sad. I wonder what happened to all the souls in the Phoenix stone? Did they just all get released? If so, in which bodies? And poor Bonnie! Her devoted boyfriend has accidentally been poisoning her all this time and killing her in his attempt to save her. Enzo must be feeling an impossible level of guilt right now.
From what I've been reading, the next episode should explain more about what is happening to Bonnie, and then in a couple more episodes we will get to see how Bonnie and Enzo got together. I'm shipping them so hard right now, it's not even funny. Ha.

Nora and Mary Louise were much better in this episode, but what happens to Stefan now? I hope the upcoming episodes cover Bonnie a bit more. I missed her and want to know more about her and Enzo together. I'm sailing with you on that ship, sardonictart!

I think that another vampire comes back in Stefan’s body – should be fun. Not sure where Stefan himself actually is though. The next episode is Bonnie and Enzo free, I think, but after that they are both in each episode through the finale. *sigh* For my fellow Bonnie and Enzo shipper, biondetta – enjoy! The flash forward kiss that started it all.Snippet of the scorching hot tie scene at Lilly’s party.Funny take on the scorching hot tie scene at Lilly’s party.I think that the writers of this show forget that it's essentially a soap opera. It's an entertaining, well-acted, Gothic soap opera, but nonetheless a soap opera. If Bonnie and Enzo hadn't come out of the woodwork as a couple, I would not have bothered watching this season or next. This show needs couples to root for in addition to the brotherly love theme. The Originals has a little more leeway with this since the story centers around an entire family of characters, but it still needs its sailing ships too.

"You were my first friend." *sniff sniff* That line was just beautiful.

Hah. I only catch every third episode of this show these days. Also, news: {The 8th season will probably be the last.
I have no idea what that means for The Originals.
And Kat (Bonnie) wants out of the 8th season completely.} Here's a link to the spoiler I posted...

With the spoilers, I'm happy about it and not surprised.
And I loved Bonnie slamming that door in Damon's face. But dammit! I liked Stefan and whats-her-butt! So much so, that her name is escaping me. LOL
I wonder how long Caroline is on maternity leave with the season almost wrapped up? And can my favorite cast members just go over to The Originals to stay? It would make for a better Friday nigh show, IMO.
Lucian, I figured was up to no good, too. He had too many back-up toys to protect himself and he was far too devoted to Nik beyond him being his sire. He obvs hated the guy and wanted him to burn. But he can just back the hell up with my Cami, BITCH! SMH
