I wish they hadn't written Elena as a "mean girl sidekick" with the sass and the bitchiness, my favourite period was immediately after Jeremy died when you see Elena looking half-dead in the opening teaser when she goes and lies on the road to attack someone, says "I don't feel anything", and afterwards tells Damon that "I thought this was supposed to be fun" as she walks off still looking like an emotionless zombie. Nina did a fabulous job with that emotionally dead inside Elena who I could really believe in having all the emotion drained right out of her, but ever since it just feels like all the writers know what to do with switched off Elena is write her as a second-rate Katherine. I was really excited for the possibilites at first, but when they brought Katherine back into town at around the same time as well, eh I just didn't find myself enjoying the period of switched-off Elena as much as I thought I would
