The best of 2011: We're thankful for...

Okay, we'll admit it: Stefan Salvatore was getting kind of boring last season. He was loyal and kind and his hair never moved. Zzzzz. We've seen that whole high school vampire with a conscience shtick before. New Stefan is still a high school vampire, but now his favorite extracurricular activity is murder. And it's sexy. (We have issues.)
