Entertainment Weekly
It's kinda like CBS showing Will and Alicia in the elevator in the promo for last season's Good Wife finale. Both scenes were still amazing, but they could have been even more jaw-dropping.

It wouldn't be a "Vampire Diaries" season finale without twists aplenty-and several heartbreaking deaths.

The season three premiere took those character beats developed last season and not only executed them perfectly but also built upon that foundation.
