TVD Season 3 Finale Thoughts
I had to leave for a friend’s birthday plans right after I watched the episode, so I’m sure I’m forgetting some things, but this is what I remember at the moment.
- Elena becoming a vampire...CALLED IT!
The possibility of past/present bridge flashbacks, the solution to the evil!Alaric problems, someone dying, her recent injuries (so vampire blood was in her system)…just too perfect not to happen. Someone else mentioned the emphasis on characters deciding if they would complete the transition this season, setting up Elena’s future decision, and that also made a lot of sense to me. Also, when Meredith’s blood collection was destroyed had a feeling it would play a part in the accident. Which brings me to…yay, Damon sired her! And the blood was taken from him unwillingly (and given to her without his knowledge) so Elena can’t place any blame on Damon for actually turning her. Also…Damon’s face when he realized Elena (via evil!Alaric) was dying…so sad.
- The Damon/Stefan decision…UGH. Not totally surprised, but UGH. I respect Elena for trying to let one of the brothers go, but IMHO she picked the wrong one. When she and her mom (or was it Bonnie? I can’t remember) had the conversation about letting someone go I had a sinking feeling it would be Damon but hoped I would be wrong.
- LOVE the reveal that Damon actually met Elena first (I saw someone predict that somewhere - good job person!). Aw, and their banter…so perfect. Given her reasoning for picking Stefan, this (plus that fact that she’ll probably be a vampire now) should make for a very interesting next season! I also liked the parallels between past!Damon’s advice, and Elena’s present description of Damon.
- Poor Caroline. Having the (evil) guy who had feelings for you in the body of your boyfriend…that’s going to be confusing. IDK how they’ll work that…it seems like the reason people liked Klaus/Caroline was because of the chemistry, but now that Klaus is in Tyler’s body…
- Poor Ric. I just the fact that he’ll appear as a ghost from time to time is how Matthew will have a small part once in a while.
That’s all for now I guess…ugh how will I wait until the next season? I’ll need lots of fanfic and fanvids to get me though, lol.
