Still here, reading and enjoying your reviews, I just didn´t get to watch the episode until yesterday.
I feel probably better than you did about the episode but it is still my least favourite. Definitely no enthusiasm about this one but I did enjoy (and would gladly take it over any TVD episode these days). It was not that compact and built up as the episodes before. I had not been happy with Tyler coming to NO and I certainly didn´t enjoy his new self. For me, the more space between the two shows stays for now the better.
Really hope it won´t start spiralling down!
