Yeah this season has felt really lacklustre to me for some reason, making Elena a vampire SHOULD have been awesome, but instead it feels like her character is barely there anymore what the the sire bond and how intent they've been to use it just to push the triangle and let Damon have his turn with her now (sorry, but that's basically what it feels like lol). Even Bonnie turning darker could have been a great storyline, but what with the amnesia and the Silas influence, again her character feels barely there because I'm not sure how much of it is even supposed to be Bonnie. And Caroline hasn't been getting much character development either other than the whole thing with Klaus that they keep pushing for the shipper fans. And yes bringing back Jeremy after making his death such a big deal would be super-lame

It's just very frustrating when a show cares more about plot than characters,because it takes away my reason to care about the show.
