Season 7 is bothering the heck out of me. I don't agree with what Julian did to Valarie. I hate even more that Mary Louise sided with Julian even after learning the truth. I hate how Stephan wasn't there for Caroline and I hate how Alaric was just sooo absent and selfish. Having a real hard time watching right now. I nearly abandoned the series altogether but I had chose to see it through and keep watching to see what happens with the core.
