RE: Katherine over Elena - What do you think was the reason for this? I mean, at least one of Katherine's scenes was disposable. The Katherine/Damon conversation in the forest. As fun as the lines and the delivery were, there was no new information there of any kind. We knew Katherine liked Stefan better, duh. We knew Damon was totally secure in his relationship with Elena since a VERY long time. So what was the point of that particular scene? Give us the DE proposal instead, show! *shakes fist* lol
I have NO clue. I really, really don't. I mean, they knew that the wig looked less obvious on Katherine than Elena? I don't know. I really, really don't. I have no clue. The only thing that could come to mind would be that the ridiculous rumors were true and that Ian and Nina just could not stand working together.... but Nina plays Katherine and 99.9% of her scenes were with Damon, so I do not know.
“Speaking of Damon and Caroline… they may have had only one scene, but it was amazing.” - Yes, it was, and it was definitely one of those moments we've been waiting for through ALL the seasons, so I'm so glad that we got that scene.
So, so happy we got that.
“That whole goodbye in the high school was just the very definition of heartbreak.” - Yes, this scene was heartbreaking, and very beautiful. And it took me a while to realize that it happened at the very place where Caroline first saw Stefan, right? I love that.
Yes, it is. She was leaning against her locker (and you can see lockers behind them) when he walked by. I have the gifs in the 2nd part. *sigh*
As much as I'd happily see Caroline in New Orleans (because this show's certainly lacking in the female casting department, no offense lol No, but really, other than Rebekah who by now broke Tyler's record of “leaving town”, only Freya is interesting to watch), the idea of a school-centered spin-off sounds really cool and fun. Not to mention that if they went with this idea, we could potentially see Damon & Elena's kids (!) there! Yay! ^^
Well, TO was renewed--so I don't know if we'll see the spin-off of this now. Maybe we still will. Alaric did just mention the school to Klaus in the last episode about Hope, so maybe. (Hopefully, Keelin will become a regular next season, since she and Freya--and Klaus, I do love Klaus on TO--are the only truly interesting things on that show.)
“Caroline's pain was real and all that Damon and Elena went through (literally killing themselves in the process) was to bring Stefan back to life.” - Random note here: I found it a little amusing that the explosion ignited by Damon & Elena driving into the Grill was WAY bigger than the hellfire flames we saw in the clocktower in the finale. Our OTP is officially hotter than hell ;)
Well, to be fair, the Hellfire was being contained and constrained by Bonnie's magic.
“Another reason is because Stefan went out so completely on his terms and in a truly selfless way.” - That's a wonderful point and yes, I totally agree. It wasn't just a heartbreaking moment like in S5. It was a beautiful moment that felt so in sync with the character and the narrative.
*sigh* Yeah.
After all the grief, angst and sadness we've been through in the course of 8 seasons, the finale was filled with seemingly disproportionate amount of hope. I don't think I ever thought it'd be quite like this and so I was double-happy that it was done the way it was. Including the final title card - a white one, unlike all the black ones that we had before. It gave me chills. Happy chills.
You know, the season 05 finale also went out on a white title card.... which should have told us something. Of course, Damon and Bonnie weren't really dead. There was hope.
“In fact, their scene was all about Elena and Damon, Damon and Stefan, and Stefan and Caroline.” - Exactly! And personally, the more I think about it, the more I understand why Damon & Elena didn't get any lines.
Yeah, I thought of that too. Although, I do think that two words would have been PERFECT. "Hey." "Hey." Because we've had more than few things with them opening scenes like that. It would be so them. But, yeah, nothing else does need to be said with them because we already know where things stand with them.
