So, I got a job! (Yay! It's not ideal, but it's a job!) I start tomorrow and I'm thinking that I will probably be getting the rest of these up on Saturday or Sunday from now on with my new schedule. So, yay!

"So, I got a job!" - Congratulations!!! :D How is it going? I hope you're having a good time there so far and that you like what you're doing.

I really do enjoy it. :)

"Nothing we've ever read, seen, heard, etc. has indicated in any way, shape or form that Bonnie's family had that kind of money, or that her father had that kind of money." - You know, it did cross my mind, but I kind of let that one go, because, to be honest, it would be easy to come up with many more similar issues throughout the show, and what would be the point? That's not what the show is about. We've never seen anyone doing laundry, grocery shopping or running any errands either, and yet everyone's house, clothes, hair, etc. always looked perfect, all the bills seemed to be paid on time, and other than Matt insurance problems no one ever referred to facing some daily struggles. Despite Damon's apparent fondness of his carpets and rugs, I highly doubt he was regularly cleaning the entire boarding house (if only for the lack of time) and yet it was never addressed

"After all, everything they know about how the cure works is based on Silas draining Katherine and then the fall-out, but did Silas have to drain Katherine?" - That's something I didn't think of. Valid point. Except that this is precisely why it doesn't make sense for everyone to suddenly know that's not how the cure works.

RIGHT!??!

Why did they think a single vial would do the trick? Just because the original cure was in that form? It really seems like Caroline Dries was the one keeping things logical lol Or maybe wrapping things up is always difficult and final seasons are just very hard to write.

I think it's both, but mostly the former. Like I said, the Julie Plec run seasons alone had consistent/logical issues.

"Taking Elena's blood for the cure from her 'Sleeping Beauty' cursed body without her knowledge, without her permission, and against her already expressed wishes is a violation." - Yes, it just can't feel not wrong.

Yup, how they did not see that is beyond me.
