It hasn't been a century... it's just the next year! Anyhoo, here is the next section of my Vampire Diaries wrap-up. This is a two-parter: What I consider the best episodes of the series. You'll find the first 25 here listed in chronological order. In the second post, I will list my absolute favorites (no specific number, just the ones that I put

Obviously, I will do a much more in-depth response, but I noticed something throughout all of these comments. You kept saying "favorite" episode and why you wouldn't pick so and so episode no matter how good it was which made me realize you didn't quite get my choosing of these episodes. This isn't a list of my favorite episodes or my rewatch episodes. I have no idea what my favorite episodes would be. I rewatched episodes only after they aired or rewatch whole seasons (or specific scenes). I'm sure I will rewatch and figured out my favorite episodes when I'm done with my last two specific series rewatches. But as of now? I'm not sure.

This list was specifically about picking the BEST episodes (in my opinion, of course) and trying to be as objective as possible. I picked episodes that I genuinely thought were the best-written, best-acted, best-directed episodes of the series, not just ones that were my favorites because of how they made me feel or favorite arcs, etc. If there was an A, B or C storyline that didn't work out i the episode or any glaring plotholes, it was off the list. There are episodes that I would have totally put on here because I loved things about them so much, but because there were flaws in them I didn't include them because there were aspects that just were not of the best quality overall compared to other episodes.

Well, let's be real, most types of these things done by fans are generally subjective and don't attempt any kind of objectivity, LOL! It's absolutely understandable.
