I have always enjoyed the eps themselves, but the show just keeps moving into a direction that I'm overall not happy with. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense but it works out in my brain, lol. The whole idea of the history given in the backstory is definitely frustrating, but I guess could be hand-waved by the idea that it's a handful of families (with a couple of witches in tow) that made this journey and so it's not necessarily something that would be on the history books? I don't even know, lol.
I still have massive hope for Elijah. All is not yet lost.
I actually didn't mind the compulsion storyline but it's going on way too long. The one thing about it that pleases me about it is the idea that he doesn't have a choice, so it cements the idea that while Damon has used this whole "turn it off excuse" (that I never bought in the first place, and apparently neither did Rose) but that it is very much a choice and not something that can be used as an excuse.
Yes, they're all still pretty. We still have that.
