Well, the season 3 finale of The Vampire Diaries aired in the UK last tuesday and to be honest the whole season
up-down-left-right all round totally crazy. I cried when Alaric said his
goodbyes to Jeremy, laughed at all Damon’s snide remarks and Klaus’s evil ways,
smiled at the Stelena, Delena moments, and was on the edge of my seat after
every single episode. I really cannot express my love for this show. It’s
just...wow, in every way. Season 3 was phenomenal and was topped off nicely with
one whopper of a finale!
Right at the beginning we all saw flashbacks of Elena’s life before vampires. This idea was really great, finally getting to see what Elena’s parents looked like and what she was like as well. Lately all we’ve seen is scared, sad, or angry Elena, this was a nice change. She was so ‘peppy’ before, being a cheerleader with a jock boyfriend, it was very stereotypical. It was also really good to see when the Salvatore brothers first came into her life. Those flashbacks were awesome; I will never forget well Damon said to Elena “You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger... I want you to get everything you're looking for. But for right now, I want you to forget that this happened. Can't have people knowing I'm in town yet. Goodnight, Elena.” And when Elena and her parents drove of Wickery Bridge and Stefan saved her. All of it was such a huge revelation really. We’ve known the basics of her past from season1, but this really cleared things up. I think it was genius to put those scenes in.
Next,
something EVERY TVD fan has been talking about. That Stelena kiss! After a
whole season of waiting patiently for our gorgeous couple to reunite, we got
it! Though it probably angered all those Delena fans who were rooting for Elena
to choose Damon. Personally I don’t know who I wanted her to chose, first I
thought her and Stefan were perfect for each other. Then I remembered
perfection doesn’t exist, does it? And Damon is so much fun; he could show her
things she’d never see with Stefan. It’s a decision I don’t think I’ll ever
make properly. Though that kiss was pure utter bliss. When Stefan whispered
“Just in case there is no later.” I wanted to jump in the house and lock the
door so neither of them could leave each other!Right at the beginning we all saw flashbacks of Elena’s life before vampires.

But um, what the heck is going on with Bonnie? How could she help Klaus like that?! Though I’m all for Klaus, I love him to bits and want him to stay in the show forevermore, but Bonnie helped him? The good little witch girl who decided to stay out of vampires business once, it was a bit of a shock. I liked it though. Despite the sadness of Tyler dying, the fact that Klaus remains alive in Tyler’s body excites me deeply. Frankly, Bonnie is sick of being pushed around by everyone else and made her own decision for once; I think her slightly off-character choice was due to all the dark magic she had to tap into the week before. I kind of like Bonnies independent side, I hope to see more of it next season.
Alaric, Alaric, Alaric...what happened to my favourite vampire hunter?! I literally DESPISE Esther for turning him into a vampire. It broke my heart to see the lovely guy as some evil psychopath. I think during the whole episode the part that made me cry the most was when Alaric said bye to Jeremy as a ghost. I bawled like baby! I felt like I’d been punched in the chest. I’m so sad that he died and if I could change anything about the episode, I’d just keep Alaric alive. Not just because he’s amazing and sweet and has a little bro-mance going with Damon but there’s no adults left. Elena’s parents died, Jenna died, John and Isobel died and now Alaric? Who’s going to take care of them all in season4?!
Finally the ending, Elena is a vampire! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. Stefan couldn’t save her from the one thing she never wanted. I can’t wait for season4! It’s riveting!
There’s so much else I want to write about, Klaus and Caroline, Rebekah and Elijah, Meredith, the Delena phonecall and what I expect in season4 etc. But I’ll leave you with an intriguing thought, will Elena chose to complete the transition in Season 4?
For now my lovelies, I bid you good day ;)
