My reaction to the dreaded parts of the finale was about the same as my reaction to the end of ep 2.8: torn between being grossed out both at what was going on and the idea that it was supposed to be romantic, and laughing at the absurdity of the dialogue and emo.

I think the writing of the last two episodes was absolutely atrocious. I pretty much hated everything to do with the Klaus plot. The sacrifice scene was disgusting. I was very disappointed.

Not only do I fear the probably season 3 romanticising of Damon, but of Klaus as well.

Then there's also the trashing of Elena in order that she can lower her standards and have feelings for Damon.

If I watch next year it will be entirely for Caroline, Tyler, Katherine, Bonnie, Jeremy & his ghosts.

Let me just mention also, regarding the finale, suddenly finding a resurrection spell to save Jeremy - when an episode before they suddenly found a different resurrection spell that saved Elena. Yeesh.

Finally regarding the death of Jenna - she was just killed off because she was the lowest hanging cast member and they wanted to kill off someone in the credits. Dramatically, it wasn't really necessary to kill off every single parental figure for Elena. The other thing I don't like is that it makes the Salvatore Brothers, essentially even more focal to Elena's life. Oh, and now Alaric can be the father figure.

Most of the last 2 episodes was disgusting. The sacrifice just a bit more so.

The last episode made a LOT of deaths even more unnecessary than they already were. Particularly even further reducing rose's existence to nothing but a thing for Damon to angst over.
