I must really be a masochist. OK, here’s a stream of consciousness (I apologize in advance):
Well, let’s be honest: that wasn’t a bad episode of The Vampire Diaries. But, then again, as I’ve been reiterating for this entire season, this season is just a reiteration of the show. Even Caroline is tired of having the same talk with Tyler about him leaving and having to do things elsewhere. Tyler should take the word “hi” out of his lexicon, because he’s more prone to goodbyes, anyhow.
By the same token, Damon is still keeping Elena out of the loop — just like everyone usually does with Elena. And even Jeremy has resorted to not caring what Bonnie thinks, re: her own death. Though, at least in that case, I’m erring on Jeremy’s side since Bonnie has been one notch above pathetic this season, hovering around everyone whilst telling them how great they are. But when it comes to Bonnie, not even her afterlife is much about her anymore (not that it ever was). Damon just wants to bring her back from the dead because it will satisfy Elena. Also, I love that Bonnie is dead and everyone’s just like, “Let’s go to a ball!”

To be frank, this show has been reiterative ever since it reached its second year. It was always about the exact same problems of exact same people, just the plot device used differed. Why TVD got away with that at first was because people wanted to find out what characters will do and how they will react to what they find out.
First season was pretty much driven by viewers wanting to KNOW about Elena's past and her mother and why she looks like Katherine. How will Bonnie deal with the witchy-stuff? How will Damon react to Katherine being alive? How will Matt deal without his sister? And then the show just breezed past it as if it was not even important, nothing changed and we moved on to the next shiny bit.
So okay, second season the whole doppelganger mystery, caroline having to deal with being a vampire, etc and...oh wait, the show forgot about it too and moved on to the next copy of exact same shit.
No matter what would happen in the said "PLOT", Elena will still be pining around two brothers while doing absolutely nothing, Bonnie would still be saving the day with out-of-nowhere spells, plotlines would still deal with how SPECIAL and WONDERFUL Elena is, someone would still be trying to kill the villain and the villain would still be forgotten midway through the show for new and shiny one.
Now shows quite often have reiterative plots in themselves, but usually characters change and grow from them - what character decides now might not be what he/she decided three seasons ago. TVD does not have that. That's the problem I always said TVD has - its characters are lifeless and stale. Which in turn makes the show feel like a weird comedy sketch that loops onto itself again and again, with benny hill themesong playing in background.
Yes, I agree... I cant understand how a show that used to be sooo good is now sooo bad!!!
