Bonnie is back! That hug was the best. I'm tired of Alaric and Jo. I wish he'd have stayed dead if this is all the show has got for him.

I really hope they don't screw up her return. And I'd better get lots of scenes with just Bon Bon and Damon! Not interested in having their relationship (friendship or whatever) be mediated by Elena.

That was boring. Best part was the colonial version of Sympathy for the Devil.

I wonder how they're going to play Bonnie/Jeremy when Bonnie comes back seeing as Jeremy is headed off to, uh, art school. I really hope they don't do the long distance thing where Bonnie pretends to talk to Jeremy on the phone for the 1 or 2 seconds of screen time she'll likely get upon her return.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Ausiello is taking time off to be with his terminally ill husband so that's probably why he's been quiet.

From E!:

Not a single mention of Bonnie? And of course it's all hands on deck to save Elena! Ridiculous.

Ouch -- preliminary ratings for last night are not good. It only received a 1.7 in the target demo.

This whole savior/happy ending thing is really starting to get on my nerves. Is Emma going door-to-door asking all of the residents of Storybrooke how she can give them a happy ending? Actually, I'd like to see that: "Hello, my name is Emma Swan and I would like to share with you the most amazing book!" (hat tip to The Book of Mormon). I think it mostly grates that Regina and Rumple think they're entitled to happy endings while those who actually "deserve" them aren't sitting around moping or being evil because they don't have one yet. And because my mind is pretty firmly in the gutter at this point -- happy endings for all!

The queens of darkness look rather inept so far. Not really looking forward to the second half of the season at this point.

Sneak peak with Damon and Elena: http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/12/the-vampire-diaries-episode-610_36.html Elena's "thank you" was obnoxious because it doesn't seem like she got the message that Damon is not doing it for Elena's sake. I liked how Damon just brought it back around to Bonnie. Just keep doing that, Damon.

Not overly spoilery interview with one of the producers about the finale: http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/12/the-vampire-diaries-season-6-fall.html . And a sneak peak featuring Caroline and Liz: http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/12/the-vampire-diaries-episode-610_10.html One bit: Given how many people have died on this freaking show, shouldn't Elena have had this realization a little earlier? I will laugh myself to tears if Caroline's mother does die and Elena somehow takes that as a sign that she should hook up with Damon again.

From TVGuide: Looking more and more like Liz is done for and who/how is the big question. At least we're getting a good Stefan/Damon scene. Bonus points if Elena's name is not mentioned during it.

Latest from E!: These people need to get with the program and give more spoilery spoilers -- I'm so impatient! The only deaths that I'd find heartbreaking at this point would be Sheriff Forbes and Matt.

In addition to hoping Liz keeps her life, I'm also hoping that Delena's mistletoe moment is a flashback. I'd like to think that Damon is too broken up about Bonnie to be worrying about how to get into Elena's pants.

A little more about the next episode is available here. Please don't kill Liz, show!

Finally got around to watching. Elena is the worst. I loved it that Damon corrected her about why he was trying so hard to get Bonnie back. I especially liked when he interrupted her mope session about her parents being dead to remind her that they were there to get Bonnie.

I wonder where Roland is going to end up. It'll make Robin look even more terrible if he abandons Marian and Roland in the EF to come back to Storybrooke for Regina. He'll still look terrible if he leaves Marian in the EF and brings Roland to Storybrooke with him. The best option is for Regina to go to the EF with the Hood family never to be seen again. Given how this show goes, though, they'll find a way to shuttle Roland back and forth between Storybrooke and the EF every other weekend so that Robin gets his parenting time.

Although I'm hopeful he'll get the heck off of my screen "forever," I would not be at all surprised if he decides to stay with Regina.

Latest from TV Line: They just need to stop with the Delena torture. Either let them be together or split them up once and for all. I think they're terrible together, but I'd take that over this constant back and forth crap.

Yeah, it's me again... Producers' preview is up. So Damon and Elena do take a trip to 1994. That explains the call to Bonnie because she's likely still stuck on the west coast. Also, skinny jeans are so perfect for Kai.

I'm going off of spoilers that indicate Jeremy will have a surprising reaction to news about Bonnie being alive and that there's some more pain in Bonnie's future.

I'm so annoyed that it seems like Robin won't be in the next episode. I know the writers don't seem to realize how much of a douchebag Robin comes off as, but how they heck are they going to wrap this up in a way that doesn't mean poor Marian is frozen for the remainder of show? Having Robin see her for what she was and still kinda is would have been an easy out for the time being. I just want him gone.

Sneak peek from the next episode combined with what little else we know is making it seem way more likely that Jeremy is going to give no shits about Bonnie still being alive.

Sneak peek for tonight's episode. Not terribly spoilery, but it does show how they end up on that motorcycle.
