Sometimes I like Stefan, (dance scene was adorable, y/n?) sometimes I'm indifferent to him -- I find him most charming with Elena, because they're so obviously happy together. I do feel that they do a decent job of having a 'vampire goes to high school' narrative that actually portrays the vampire in question as logically more mature than a lot those around him.

I have trouble with Damon, because while he's a decent antagonist I find myself kind of icked by the prioritization of him versus his victims, and his manpain over their suffering. Sometimes I feel like the show is practically doing the 'tee-hee, isn't he such a rascal!' thing they did with Dean Winchester.

If you think it's finished, it's probably finished. I don't recall a significant feint.
