Interesting theory with Bonnie/Enzo. You're absolutely right, the cure-thing is so not gonna work and if then I'd still be really pissed, because I don't want that to happen. But I'm confident as you are that the others will never allow that. I still hope though that Bonnie and Enzo will stay together because I love both characters and want them to get a happy end and I just can't see new love interests/soulmates coming along in the last couple of episodes. So I want those two to be together and happy ever after (though I'd appreciate it if they could finally leave their honeymoon-bubble behind and get a grip on reality, which is I think what Bonnie started doing in this ep ( ... )

It's the only thing I can think of to explain Bonnie's offer.

You're absolutely right, the cure-thing is so not gonna work and if then I'd still be really pissed, because I don't want that to happen.

Right on both counts. There is no way it is going to happen, and if it somehow crazily did.. NO TO THE HELL!

But I'm confident as you are that the others will never allow that.

Yeah, not only Damon, but Elena... and if Alaric pulls his head out of his ass to acknowledge that these people before his children were born were his family too, would also. And if/when (let's be real, it's got to be when!) Jeremy comes back, he so beyond WILL NOT stand for anything that could risk his sister's life, or go against her wishes without her having any say at all.

I still hope though that Bonnie and Enzo will stay together because I love both characters and want them to get a happy end and I just can't see new love interests/soulmates coming along in the last couple of episodes.I just wish I could buy their ( ... )

Another thing I didn't like was how Caroline is supposed to have forgiven Damon for years now, but we never felt or reen or otherwise got that from her actions and words.

I think you missed the point which was actually that. She DID forgive him during what happened with her mother's death, but she never realized or admitted that to herself UNTIL THAT MOMENT when it was basically forced out of her by her dead mother.

This revelation came out of the blue and I would have just liked to see the development/change in feelings since Liz's funeral on screen.There have been signs--her being cool and trying to get him on her side to help her mom when she first found out about the cancer, her letting Damon do Liz's eulogy without complaint. Season 07 she just didn't interact with Damon all that much, but in the finale she commented that it wasn't his fault for what happened. And she was fine with him being Stefan's best man, yes, she would have accepted it period for Stefan, but she didn't put up a fuss really. In the Christmas episode, she ( ... )

In the Christmas episode, she was clearly NOT happy with Alaric and Matt killing Damon, and she gave him Elena's locket to help him remember. Finally, in the last episode she was trying to help him get from under Sybil's control. The lack of seeing it in our face and/or developed is because Caroline (nor Damon) realized it.Ah, ok I see. I really have to rewatch more because I was of the impression that Caroline was still hating on Damon for the better part of s7 and s8. But her not even realizing her changed feelings/forgiving does make sense of course ( ... )

Yeah, there weren't that many scenes or signs that Caroline had forgiven him because it wasn't big things that would make it obvious because she didn't realize it herself.

And not just D/B. For this ep I actually read some S/E, who obviously still have hope and saw some romance between Stefan and Elena in this ep? I just don't understand some people. So much delusion.

Seriously? HOW EVEN! Delusional is right.

But the bell was magic, so who spelled it?We don't know what witch exactly did it, but there have been witches in Mystic Falls forever. Basically, the witches created it to destroy the Sirens. It wasn't about opening hell, it was about destroying the Sirens, but the Armory caught the Siren instead (I'm figuring that's ( ... )
