This is long and rambling. But these are my thought about the finale.
I was so busy crying. lolz. the amount of people angry about the finale. What do you expect this show went to shit years ago. Like 4 seasons ago. Iโm a huge delena shipper but once the sire bond and cure thing happened this show just went downhill.
So, yes, Iโm pretty content with the ending. (Because I honestly I didnโt expect much.)
Stefan came to Mystic Falls looking for atonement for all heโs done. And that issue is deeply rooted in his history with Katherine and then forcing Damon to become a vampire. And no, Iโm not just saying that because I donโt like Stefan or anything. I cried like a baby okay. But thatโs why it made sense that he was the one to sacrifice himself. In his mind he is finally making up for all his sins. I didnโt approve of it because he just got married to Caroline. kay. But i made sense.
Damon on the other hand came into town to free the woman he loves only to find out that she was never in the tomb at all. And from then on he went on a long and hard journey to redemption.It just so happens that he found it in Elena. So yeah that made sense too.
Elena was lost when this series started and even before when she met Damon for the first time. She didnโt know who she was. What she wanted. Where she was headed blah blah. And then she lost her parents and fell in love with vampires you know the drill. And it just so happens that she found everything she was missing in Damon. And they found happiness in each other. Kay. Period.
Honestly, I would have been happy with Ian and Paulโs idea of a happy ending. You know the brothers compelling her to forget everything and leaving her safe and happy for good. But this ending made sense in my mind.
It made sense that Caroline was the only one left who was a vampire, Because she was good at it. The whole hogwartsy thing was weird. but. eh. But I was glad that she didnโt end up with anyone. In season ,1 and maybe even after that, she has always in one way or another based her importance on what guys think about her. So yeah. I am glad that she ended up single and happy.
Bonnie too. My heart jumped when she said itโs not my time. LIke omg. Sheโs finally fighting for her life. She was finally fighting to live. For her. Even if she wasnโt reunited with Enzo Iโm still glad thatshe finally started living her life for herself.
Iโm happy for Matt and Alaric too. Matt the boy who thought heโd be left behind has finally found purpose for his life. I mean he thought he was going to be bussboy forever and now heโs think about running for mayor?ย
Alaric too. He finally has the family that I think he has always wanted. Since he married Isobel. I think that was one of the reasons why he took care of Jer and Elena.
So yeah the episode was bit rushed. I wish there was more Delena. And I donโt know whatโs up with Ian. christ. That kiss was awkward. Theย โheaven sceneโ was awkward if you just watch his face. Would it have killed him to actually smile. Like cโmon. Nina is adorable but that wig though. God.
I think Kevin and Julie did a hail mary on this one and it barely passed. But in my mind right now I am happy with this ending. If only they could have had 22 episodes instead of just 16. Or maybe if Nina had been able to return a bit earlier. Or maybe it theyโd have just made a 2 hr episode instead of just 1. Maybe it would have been better. A lot of maybes. But we get what we get. ย It wasnโt bad. It wasnโt great. It could have been good. But it wasnโt the worst either. So yeah I liked it.ย
ugh. So anyway. Goodbye to the very first series Iโve ever really loved. The first one Iโve really payed this much attention too. I started watching when I was 16. Lord almighty. I feel old. So much has happened in my life between then and now, and this show has been my one constant. (Which is really depressing.)
I will really miss this show. It could have been the best. But it still has been one hell of a ride. So thank you to the creators and everyone involved in this show.
(What am I going to do with my life now??? lol ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ญ ๐๐๐)
