Yeah, the show has been increasingly bad on the messages it endorses. And like, I don't even know how to properly explain it? The characters do bad things, but the show also seems to be on their side? Like last season, with the no morality questioned decision to kill the Originals (and every other vampire they're connected to). And like, I don't have a *problem* with characters who are like "genocide, cool", but there's just almost no acknowledgment that this is a problematic things. Contrast that to say, Breaking Bad or Hannibal, where you have the protagonists doing horrible things, but the show just presents it, as well as the fallout from it.
But TVD has long annoyed me with characters judging other characters or rooting for other characters, because it's not skillfully done as huge character flaws, it's like I can hear the writers talking out of their mouths.
And Katherine has been dying of old age all season, but at the end of last episode she swapped bodies with Elena. So technically her body is dead, but for now she's still around
I hate to ask, but, how does that work? Where is Elena then?
