I did too much eye-rolling while watching this episode. Too many wrong turns made. I am glad that Caroline won't be standing behind big purses and potted plants all season, but I'd like a real explanation on how exactly those babies were transferred

I don't get what you're talking about honestly. I didn't have any issues here.
I am glad that Caroline won't be standing behind big purses and potted plants all season, but I'd like a real explanation on how exactly those babies were transferred.The witches did a spell to transfer the twins into a viable body that could carry the babies to term in order to keep the Gemini coven line going and Caroline's was the only one available. All of the female members of the coven were about to die thanks to Kai. Jo was dying. Damon whisked Elena away right away, I don't remember where Bonnie was bUt I think she was gone already, so Caroline was the only one still there. We were told in season 01 (thank you, Damon) that as long as a vampire gets a steady supply of blood, the vampire body functions just like a human one. So what other explanation do we need? It's supernatural witchcraft. They bring people back from the dead, lock people in alternate universes

Loved your review as always. I'm getting the same feeling as you do: Without DE the show is somehow off. It's not bad, but before it was stunning, extraordinary, the best series I've ever watched. Now it somehow just feels mediocre like any other series I would watch, but not religiously (if you know what I mean?).
Welllll, I don't think it's mediocre at all. I still think it's a great show, just missing that oomph that you look forward to watch EVERY SINGLE WEEK! If they can get another lead couple, they can recapture that, which is why I think they are trying to mix things up.
I, too, liked the Defan in this ep and the Bonenzo (slowly becoming my favourite couple as of now - if you don't count DE, who really don't count as they've been temporarily put on ice).
There is potential.
And I also had to cringe when I found out about the Alaric/Caroline, though I think it's not really a romantic thing between them. More like her having his kids which is why they'll be living together
( ... )
Yes, Damon and Elena remain the lead couple, despite Elena being comatose and locked in a coffin right now. I love it, but I do feel her absence. I'm hoping that Nina will be able to return before the season is over - she makes everything better. :)
I will be distraught (DISTRAUGHT! I TELL YA!!) if she doesn't show up at season's end. But I totes expect Elena back and for her and Damon to leave together (since I do think Ian is done after this season).
I don't think Caroline is with Alaric because she's in love with him, even though I joked about him having some game. I think it's for the sake of giving the girls a mother figure, since Jo can't be there - nor can Florence, alas.I just said above to someone else, I don't think so. You don't marry just for kids in this day age. Alaric can be a single father fine and Caroline is a relationship-girl. I can see that they did just bond and fall during the pregnancy. It's been a few years since high school, they've barely had any scenes since then (or during then) and I'll see how it
( ... )
I really cannot wait to watch. Though I'm pretty sure I will miss DE and Elena.
You will; I can not lie.
I'm so happy they are going strong even in Elena's absence. At least I gather that from your reviews. I hope that will remain so.
Oh, totes!
Since I haven't watch I cannot really form any opinions on the new characters and story lines. However - what??? Caroline and Ric? That is awkward? I wonder if there is more behind that. I'm certainly happy I do not go crazy over them like I do over DE.
We haven't seen anything yet. We just found out that she IS carrying the twins. The Gemini Coven put the twins in her when Jo died in order to preserve the Gemini line. And we found out that three years from now, Alaric and Caroline are engaged. We've seen no present-day interaction between them since they found out about the babies though.
Seems Stefan had more important love interests in his life than we anticipated? We always thought it was Katherine and then Elena. Looking back it is so clear that SE were never It and never meant to

I liked the episode, as I enjoy the season so far, but you're right, the heat/buzz whatever you call it is missing.
Maybe you're right with your suspicion about Julian and Damon, but I really don't want Julian to be Damon's father. He doesn't deserve such a son. Giuseppe didn't either. But still...
Ha - Florence Nightingale! Great idea. I really hope Alaric can find closure now and go on with his life.
I never thought I'd say that, but I wouldn't mind Stefan and Valerie to come closer again. I kinda like her. Question is: is she now one of the "good" ones? Or is she playing Stefan?
Geez, Stefan... I was shaking my head when he tried to attack Julian. Julian is about 400 years older than him and thus waaaaaaay stronger.
Nice parallel to 3x14, when Stefan took out Damon to carry out Elena's plan.
Bonnie and Enzo? Could work for me.
Agreed: Damon shaking Lily's unmentionables in his own bedroom was hysterical. Loved it.
And I loved the two brothers talking it out.
Thanks for the great write-up, as always. Take care.

Apparently Julian's a lot older than I thought so I must be wrong. Hmmmm.

Me too. Yeah, I thought the idea was funny, hee.

See, that much older, he can't be Damon's dad.
