TRY AS IT MIGHT, NOT WHAT IT WAS
With Elena now gone, vampire brothers Stefan and Damon strive to adapt - Damon particularly, for she had brought out the good in him. Will he now revert to norm? Complicating matters this seventh season are new arrivals and the Phoenix Stone.Enter now the siblings' mother Lily and her tiresome entourage of Heretics - only Valerie of interest, because of her past relationship with Stefan. Once this storyline has run its course, Rayna appears and the season perks up. A ruthless Hunter determined to destroy all vampires, she indeed proves a force to reckon with. Stefan and Damon are high on her list.Devoted fans no doubt will find much to please. Others may feel the show seems increasingly desperate for worthy storylines. Action this time covers three years, with much flashing forward then back again. This can become very confusing, especially with plots complicated enough in the first place. (Despite being a "Groundhog Day" rip-off, Episode 10 proves one of the best.)22 episodes. Helpful box set notes. Interesting bonuses include Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder describing their experience as a director (Paul Ep.21, Ian Ep 16). The Comic-Con feature is better than many: presenter less intrusive, panel smaller, the audience's question segment more smoothly handled.The series remains cult viewing, largely because of its charismatic two leads. Some, though, may feel it increasingly lacks the impact of early seasons - time overdue either for far stronger scripts or to call a halt.

Great Series!
I just love the brothers Damon and Stefan but the rest of the cast are great too. Their mother Lily and her friends add an interesting new twist to the story line for this series. Overall very enjoyable for all episodes, never a dull moment to be had when you do not know what is going to happen next and who is going to be killed off or come back after being killed off!
