The Vampire Diaries says goodbye

Leave a comment

The series finale of The Vampire Diaries was bittersweet. I wish everyone had a happy ending, but they didn’t.

Vicki followed through on Katherine’s order to ring the bell. She released the hellfire that was supposed to destroy Mystic Falls. I say supposed to because it didn’t. Bonnie, as she did so many times during the series, saved the day.

She came up with a plan that would allow her to send the hellfire back to Hell and destroy it. To make sure Katherine was gone once and for all, someone had to ensure Katherine was in Hell at the time Bonnie destroyed it. Damon volunteered to do it and thought he compelled Stefan to leave him in the tunnel with Katherine. But Stefan had vervaine in him and couldn’t be compelled. Instead, Stefan gave Damon a shot of his blood, making Damon human. Stefan then stood in the tunnel and killed Katherine as the hellfire passed through.

I couldn’t believe Stefan died. I thought a miracle would happen and he would survive, but that didn’t happen. Like in many episodes over the years, I watched as everyone said goodbye to Stefan for one last time. I felt bad for Caroline. She ended up becoming a widow after being married for only one day.

In the end, Caroline opened up a new school for gifted children with Alaric and Jeremy came back to help them run it. It was named after Stefan.

Matt was still a cop in Mystic Falls and got a bench with his name on it.

Bonnie figured out how to break the spell on Elena. Once the spell was broken, Bonnie decided she was going to do what Enzo wanted and live life to the fullest. She planned to travel the world.

Elena and Damon were the only ones to get a true happy ending. Elena became a doctor and lived a long human life with Damon until they both died. In death, Elena was reunited with her family and Damon saw Stefan again.

Overall, I thought it was a good ending. It was touching to see the love between Stefan and Damon, and I loved that Bonnie finally got her powers back and saved the town.

The Vampire Diaries: Bonnie needs to get her powers back

2 Comments

I’m a bit upset with the writers of The Vampire Diaries. At the end of last season, Bonnie lost her powers. I thought in the first couple of episodes of this season Bonnie would get her powers back, but she hasn’t and she needs them.

In a show dominated by vampires, Bonnie was refreshing. She’s intelligent and, over the years, they have relied on Bonnie to save the day more times than I can count. Now, the show has introduced a siren for the last season. We’ve been subjected to many episodes of Enzo and Damon doing the siren’s bidding. Because Bonnie hasn’t had powers, she hasn’t been able to take on the siren.

Granted, they caught the siren. But let’s face it, a showdown between the siren and a Bonnie with powers would have been more exciting. Maybe that’s where the story is going. I hope it is because Bonnie has always been my favorite character on the show (besides Damon, of course). But first, the writers have to come up with a creative way for Bonnie to get her powers back.

Bonnie could find a secret potion or she could have a near death experience and Caroline saves Bonnie with her blood, which miraculously brings Bonnie’s powers back. If the writers could bring Damon and Bonnie back from the other side, they can certainly make Bonnie a witch again.

Do you think Bonnie should get her powers back?
