The whole plot of the visions of alternate lives was interesting but a bit annoying and adding extra drama which we did not need but liked Damon and Enzos humour and there was still a lot of good scenes and interactions here as well.

One of the all time best episodes of the series!

I have been a huge Vampire Diaries fan for years, and every season has been rock on. This season has been great. I had high hopes going into watching last night's episode and the episode itself scored higher than I even thought. It was a great classic episode that brought back viewers to season 1 when Stefan and Elena's relationship was the core ship of the show. A lot of things have changed since then, but Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev still have as amazing chemistry now as they did back in season 1. The whole storyline of the episode about Stefan and Elena having alternate reality dreams of the life they could have had was incredible. It really makes you think deeply about what their lives could have been like if this was just a teeny drama and not a supernatural/fantasy drama. Of course near the end of the episode the twist that ruined Stefan and Elena's visions was that Stefan and Elena were never fated to fall in love with each other. The doppelgänger prophecy did not have to do with them but rather helping the Travelers break a centuries long curse that was placed among themselves. Still one of the ending scenes in the episode taking place in present day did have a real and epic Stefan and Elena moment where Stefan and Elena had a heart to heart conversation discussing their past relationship with each other. It almost made me tear up and cry. It is basically a scene that any Stelena shipper will watch over and over again. Overall, the episode was wonderfully directed by Stefan himself, Paul Wesley. As a first timer Paul kicked ass directing and I hope to see him direct more in the show's future. I give it a 10/10!
