Honestly I don't understand why the majority of fandom seem so down on The Vampire Diaries still, yes it's obviously had its rough spots, but this season has been really strong so far IMHO!
I can't help it, I adore everything about Kai, his line delivery is so on point every time that I just want to keep rewinding scenes with him, the actor has an insane amount of charisma on-screen. I can't wait to see what they do with Kai now that he's started feeling empathy and other emotions for the first time. How great was the scene of Damon and Elena kind of eye-rolling over him describing how he felt his eyes water up, and then Elena realises how his newfound empathy could actually prove to be useful/trying to hide her smile when Damon plays on it being Bonnie's birthday! And the scene where he can't bring himself to kill Liv! (Although I wasn't really feeling it when Tyler was so adamant about not wanting to see her again for choosing that suicidal attack over him. C'mon, she was grief-stricken and had just lost her twin brother, she clearly wasn't thinking straight!)
Bonnie is still breaking my heart trapped in that dimension, the Jeremy and Bonnie moments really worked for me for once, and I also appreciated how concerned Damon was for Bon-Bon (aww at the video's of them). I can't believe that it's episode 13 and they still haven't let her find her way back though, she'll be stuck there until the season finale at this rate!
And I can't quite settle on how I feel about Steroline. They do really sparkle in scenes together, and I have *kind of* started to ship them romantically and get excited for them finally kissing, but then sometimes in scenes where they are such best buddies (the adorable moment of them falling to the ground together giggling for example), I just find it really weird to view them romantically :( I do really love them in scenes together though, heh all of their discussions on digging up the teddy were too cute. I felt a lot of RL Paul coming across actually in those moments of Stefan just observing with the snarky commentary :P
The only part of the episode that I really disliked was Enzo unsurprisingly, frankly he is repulsive and I still don't understand what the point of him is, it's reaching self-parody almost with how terribly the writers are handling his random Stefan spite. And ffs it's not like Damon shouldn't have been feeling guilty for slaughtering all of those people, hello! Yeah it's great that Sarah Salvatore unexpectedly survived, but he still attacked her pregnant mother and intended to kill her, so I'm not really sure why Stefan owed it to Damon to lesson his guilt, Enzo!
And random observation, but lately they are styling Elena exactly like Katherine with the curls. She's started to act more overtly like her too, i.e the moment last episode when she fakes out Damon with still being injured, and then laughs and reveals that it was a gotcha. That moment really reminded me of Katherine's mannerisms, I assume that they're doing it on purpose?
