TVD 4x19: Pictures of You

[linsell_farm]

Things I liked:

• Stefan dancing with Caroline.  Their easy friendship and chemistry is nice and refreshing.
• Seeing Jeremy, even if it was Silas!Jeremy.  It was nice to see him & Bonnie have a moment.
• Bonnie standing up to Silas and having the control to not kill Elena.  Bonnie was just all together awesome.   
• Having Elijah back.  He remains my favorite Original by far.  He's such an interesting, complex character and Daniel Gillies is awesome at bringing him to life.
• Damon in a tux.
• The photo yearbook in the forest.  A lovely stroll down memory lane.
• The Salvatore brothers working together
• The parallel to Stefan being locked up but Elena & Damon stayed with him.  It spoke volumes that Stefan's attachment to Elena is not as strong as he thinks.  

Things I could live without:

• Pretty much everything Elena said and did
• Silas giving a voice to Damon's deepest insecurities

Overall, I enjoyed this episode but have to say the trio is doing nothing for my fangirl heart at the moment.  I don't want this to turn into a rant, so suffice to say that I'm over switch-flipped vamp Elena and her mean-girl attitude.  I still love this show and have faith that things will be in a better place by the finale.

On a shallow note, none of the prom dresses were all that extraordinary.  They didn't hold a candle to Elena's & Caroline's gowns for the Mikaelson's ball.  Damon, on the other hand, looked as wonderful and sexy in his tux as he ever has. *sigh*
