Caroline and Tyler were badass. :3 I loved their relationship, and I was a bit disappointed/peed off that he just randomly went off with Jules when she didn't tell him about killing Elena. It's so urgh!
I think that L.J.Smith must have been fired because of something to do with the plot. She wouldn't of done anything else wrong, unless she completely b*tched about the company behind their backs or something...I don't know. But apparently she wrote a reply to one of her fanmails and now it's just spreading like fire...
