My Review
The one thing you can always count on with Damon and the originals is that they are going to double cross each other. I kind of felt really bad for Sage for 900 years she waited for Fin and even when he came back he didn't want her. Alaric going crazy and trying to kill council members was okay I felt like the plot could have been better but he is saved by Bonnie for now. Bonnie's mother is just horrible. Her daughter needed her but she only cared about herself. I loved that Caroline got to try to help it really resolved some of her own parent issues that she didn't get to have when her father was turned. I enjoyed the whole Meredith story line I really liked the character from the books. I don't see much of point for the character in the show now that this is over. I thought this plot of Alaric going mad from the ring would make them have to bring Jeremy back but evidently not. It was so sad whe Elena called him and he moved on with his life.
I want Tyler and Jeremy to come back and for there to be some greater plot line than the Originals I am getting bored now!
I talk to you guys next week. The preview showed Damon and Stefan talking to Elena and Caroline about killing some originals let's see how that goes.
This week’s episode was pretty good. For awhile there they were getting boring. But since Damon and Stefan made stakes of the white oak I was so expecting an original to die and surely one did. Fin was staked but he really wasn’t the one who I wanted to see die, he wanted to die anyway. It was sad though because he finally got reunited with Sage and he is dead. Killing one should have killed all originals but Klaus got Bonnie to undo the spell, with a lot of threats on her mother and Jeremy though. Rebekah captured Damon and drained him of blood so he was no longer under the influence of vervain. She was able to find out how many stakes they actually had. 
For me the show had to great parts to it. First there was finding a redeemable quality to Rebekah she really isn’t that bad. I feel sorry for her she just wants to be loved and have a family. Klaus doesn’t really care about her and would let any of them die to save him and she knows that now. And after Damon tricked her into sleeping with her and had no feelings for her you just feel horrible for her. The second is that Stefan asked Elena is she had no feelings for Damon and she wasn’t sure. Delena is slowly coming true she just needs to realize that Damon is the better guy because he is.
Also the few cliff hangers that always happen. If you kill an original everyone from their blood line dies, every vampire they turned and they turned and so on. Thing is Damon and Stefan aren’t sure whose they are from. Katherine was turned by Rose but who turned her. And that means if you kill Klaus Tyler dies. Also Alaric crazy alter ego stole his stake so if he kills the original that turned Rose then Stefan, Damon, Katherine, Caroline, and Bonnie’s mom will be dead.
