Oh my god, Elena is the most HYPOCRITICAL CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. For serious.

Also, with regards to Damon, the writers need to learn how to do a redemption arc. They clearly have no clue what it's about. Do you know why I don't think (at this point) I'll ever believe and/or care about Damon's arc? Because he has never lost anything because of his behavior. Not really. Not for long. If the writers want to redeem him, they need to break him down, take everything away from him, as a clear result of his own actions, and make him pick himself up from that. (Just ask Faith, Spike, Zuko, Cara, or Boyd Crowder.) Instead, Damon is a smarmy dick. The fact that he couldn't even apologize just shows that Damon is absolutely not on the (rocky) path of redemption.

But it was nice to see my girls Lexie, Pearl, and Anna again. Also, I love that Jeremy is all 'you won't be alone! You'll have me!' and Anna is like, 'I stolen the necklace to see my mother again!' More motivations like that, please.

Word on Elena. Word on Damon, too, I've been bitching for a while now about how inconsistent the writers are with him. One second he's in the early stages of redemption, the next he's an irredeemable monster and then all of a sudden he don't need no redemption because he's just MISUNDERSTOOD. Throw in the whole Stefan-bullshit and how he's appearantly hunkydory no matter what he does, and it's like Angel/Spike all over again, except worse, because atleast the writers TRIED with that.

I love Anna and loved her with Jeremy, I'm glad they got some closure at least. Just wish she'd never died at all. :/

Yeah, they're really made some GRAVE missteps with Damon. And the worst thing about the Stefan plotline, imho, is it just makes no sense to me whatsoever, on both a story and a character level. Frankly, a lot of what they've tried to do with Klaus has seemed totally nonsensical.
