Very much a filler episode.

But I do love that the show is acknowledging Elena's depression and suicidal thoughts. AND they seem to be laying an actual foundational arc to deal with that?! And I like that the show is acknowledging that Elena cannot be like Stefan OR Damon, that she must figure out how to be her version; not that she can't have help.

YESSSSSS.

I just am actually excited for this and probably building up my expectations, but I want it.

[upupa_epops]

Yep, looks like we're actually going to talk about Elena's depression! I anticipate it.

They always tease us with Elijah and he is in it for all of 2 seconds.

They also put all the D/E scenes in the trailers, and then it turns out there's no more. Cocktease ;).

[cranmers]

Yes, buuuuut, this is show actually is written for the D/E shippers atm. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.

Well, I mean you have some right to complain because the show has gone down the pan, but... you know what I mean ;P

Why does everyone always dagger Rebecca? I have to admit I enjoyed Klaus and Stefan.

Yay for Elena realizing she has to be her own vampire. Too bad she doesn't really want to be one at all.

[upupa_epops]

IKR? Just how many times can they dagger Rebekah?

Here's to hoping Elena will find a way to be her own vampire :).

I think it's a filler episode but I kinda hate that show AGAIN went and made Elena feel like having fun is wrong and that she will be punished for it. Man, I would be suicidal too if every time I'm on the verge of having some fun someone comes and judges me for it....

I watch it with some perverse pleasure tbh, because it's just so true to what's going on in the real world. Many women work like that. I just hope the show does something interesting with it, deconstructs the hell out of it.

[kilodalton]

Yeeeah that's what it felt like to me too.

Since when does TVD do filler episodes? :(
