Nina Dobrev has never failed to make me feel Elena emotions and I was almost crying with her in the premiere. Her inability to cope and the lengths that she would go to keep Damon alive even subconsciously was heart-breaking. Stefan on the other hand isn't coping. He seems to have let go but despite their differences, Stefan does love his brother and I feel like he's trying to cope in his own way.Stefan not keeping contact with any of them except Alaric makes me think he's not really dealing with what happened, he just ran away from it.
I feel like taking back Mystic Falls might be a highlight in this season. Because even I never considered that the spell would stick and they all couldn't return.
I loved the fact that Alaric is their teacher again. I don't know why, I just do. 😆
The Delena scenes were really the highlight for me but in some small way they showed how every character has been dealing since everything that happened in the finale.
I am really excited to see where this season goes! Last season wasn't stellar so I'm hoping for way better this time around.
The last scene with Elena and Alaric, poor thing, the only way she thinks she can forget Damon is if in her mind he never existed for her. That's lifetime love right there...
The end scene with Damon and Bonnie threw me for a loop because I got so freakin confused and had so many questions and then it was over. I may be wrong but I feel Damon and Bonnie still exist on some other plane but the other side is gone. It was so out of character to see Damon cooking and wearing color 😆 Guess as time goes along, we'll understand what's been going on with the two of them.
Damon and Bonnie's connection in the books was something I loved and I am hoping they might explore that this season as in the show Damon ad Bonnie don't like each other. In the books, Damon had died saving Bonnie at one point. I don't want any romance type stuff between them but I want to see how their dynamic comes across on screen.
It was a strong start to the new season, can't wait for next week!
Good post Jot!
