Good to have Bonnie back and the Silas stuff wrapped up since it cut into this season. It also appears most shows know NOT to have people lose their memory for too long since that is rather overused.

Except for the never ending love triangle, no one could really accuse this show of not keeping things moving at a brisk pace.

You would think after 2000 years you'll just get over it and find someone new. I thought they would carry the storyline longer but I'm glad they moved on. College life seems more interesting.

Agreed - after only 7 eps they quickly moved through a lot of plot. After several full season plot lines I'm surprised it wrapped so soon.
Julie Plec needs to check her words - she thought Dobrev was beyond great ahead of this ep and talked her up. Sure she was good, but since Plec name checked Malsany she doesn't have any room to be talking up Dorbrev in comparison!

Dobrev was okay playing the three roles but agree it wasn't an award-winning performance like Maslany's job. I thought at least Amara would hang around longer. Silas wore out his welcome, the character had become a bad villain parody by the end.

I actually thought Silas this year was better than the professor walking around last year giving signs and portents. Plus I was laughing so hard during the intro segment at the bus stop!
