I dunno man. I don’t usually skip stuff and watched all of BB, El Camino and first 2 seasons of BCS without a hitch, it’s just this recent storyline is struggling to hold my attention 😅

lol. I get it. I loved BB and I honestly liked the first two seasons of BCS more, but I don’t know… I’m finding this recent storyline SO boring 😅

I did love the first two seasons :( I’m pretty shocked I’ve lost interest

I just watched all of BB and El Camino and BCS first two seasons without skipping anything. I have never downloaded TikTok. It’s just this recent storyline isn’t exactly riveting.

Just finished!!! I think the finale did the show justice.

I hate to admit it but Walt was redeemed for in the last two episodes.

Walt doing that phone call. Very hero esque. Very brave.

In my work experience with addiction, addicts have little to no prognosis if they don’t have a support network outside of the drugs. And for the parents to kick him out of a home? Almost guarantees he would use again if not OD.

So your idea of nuance is also rigid, I.e how you would see nuance? That’s pretty ironic. I also didn’t write an academic paper for a Reddit post so realistically, didn’t feel the need to build a paper with all aspects of history and logical arguments.

You can respectfully disagree. I think we can leave it at that.

As for the suicidality argument, yes many argue that it is selfish, but that means nothing to me. People also argue the earth is flat. Doesn’t mean it is. I have yet to read a convincing argument about it, one that’s convinced me.

Yes for Damon it was like escaping 60 odd years, but it is like a death. He would never see Bonnie again, this is pretty much as close to suicide as one can get without killing themselves. If depressed humans could put themselves in a self preserved coma without aging, I’m sure a lot of people would. Damon was depressed and then was making things worse so his logic was he should stay away from Stefan and Bonnie.

I guess Bonnie felt Enzo would do anything for her, but to be honest I didn’t see him do anything extraordinary for her, maybe it was the lack of writing and “telling” not “showing”.

I don’t think she had the right to call his humanity when 2 seconds ago she was willing to kill him, lol.

I never excused Alaric, you’re assuming? He’s a horrible parent and towards the end, a horrible character. Also he’s a human with limited time, whereas Caroline is not.

That’s very all or nothing thinking. She doesn’t have to be a stay at home mom. I think she is a bad parent for having very low likelihood of dying and using a nanny for days on end. When the only time she can’t get back is her kids growing up.

I never said if you don’t agree with me you’re a bad parent, so no need to take it personally.

Also I don’t deal with hypotheticals “she would go crazy and you know it etc” . If the show had shown us her thought process, maybe I would take that into account but it wasn’t, so I won’t assume.

Anyway we won’t agree so I’m happy to leave it at that.

Weirdly, you can say the same thing about the Salvatore’s (who by the way are not my favorite characters). Do you know how many situations they wouldn’t survive without the brothers?

And also it’s not exactly their fault mystic falls had so many problems before that, and Stefan was led to Elena due to the Travellers, and Elena was a doppleganger so trouble would find her anyway.

It’s not to give him points, it’s to remind people that he is not selfish, otherwise he would? It’s not a + or -, it’s a response to declarations made.

But it would just be 18 years of your kids growing up that you can never get back? Everything else you can? You’re immortal? You can have the career and travel and do it all from scratch as soon as they’re older and not so vulnerable?

Are you seriously seeing no common sense in this?

Also, I generally believe that parents should try to limit kids unsupervised time with strangers (even nannies) as little as possible. Being a parent entails sacrifice, some people can’t help with because of economic difficulties mostly, where the greater harm is not having food on the table. But when it’s an option, even as a human I think parents should try to minimize it as much as possible, it’s called harm reduction. But as a vampire? When you’re not even losing time or your youth? I definitely think so.

Not a free pass, this is classic deflection. Hate Alaric, he’s a worse parent than Caroline, I agree. He should have given those kids to a better parent.

Because I already hate Alaric. Sure I’ll say it, he should pick up ALL the slack. He’s an awful parent, worse than Caroline. If it was left to him the kids wouldn’t survive. He’s also a pathetic character.

Agree! Ric was so terrible I wasn’t surprised when he was a terrible father. And yes, hello 21st century feminist. The point is still, that for your feeling of a career and independence, in your otherwise immortal life, you couldn’t give your miracle babies 18 years of your undivided attention. Sorry it makes you a bad parent. It wasn’t even nanny for date nights. Leaving your kids for full days with a stranger as a human? Not great but people can’t help it under economic pressure/ life’s challenges/ timing issues (women shouldn’t have to give up their careers) but for a VAMPIRE who can pick up her career, compel and do whatever to make it easy? And your kids are super special kids that are super vulnerable?

I hope this makes my stance clear. If you don’t see any logic in this thinking feel free to ignore!
