The cure was presented in earlier seasons, Katherine took it, and it made her age so quickly and die within weeks. (As far as I remember). It wasn’t just a cure for vampirism but it also caused her to age quickly and die, showing her true age of basically 500+ years.

In season 6, Bonnie brings back the cure from the prison world- for Damon to give to Elena. When Elena finally finds out Damon had the cure, Damon said they would take it together so they could grow old as human. But wouldn’t this just age and kill Damon early the same way it did with Katherine???!

I just finished the episode so it might explain in the future but it just doesn’t make sense

I’m trying to find well written fanfics. It’s hard because some of these fanfics will get good reviews but then they end up not being that good. So I’m at a loss

It’s not really by a big margin, I like most of the season almost equally. But I really like the darker aspect it had, due to that I like reaching it the most by a slim margin.

i’m rewatching the series for the first time in a bit but i’m noticing SO many at&t ads and phone ads, i think it’s so funny because it’s not smooth at all.. it’s just a very obvious sponsor LOL

Julie Plec you will pay for your crimes. She really messed up the ending. And I’m not even a hater of the last few seasons. I don’t think they’re the best but I enjoyed them nonetheless. But they really screwed up the ending with Katherine. You can’t sell Katherine as this selfish, manipulative femme fatale, who at the end of the day is just trying to save herself and escape, not necessarily hurt anyone for the fun of it, and then at the end make her the devil with no redeeming qualities. The way Kai talked about her towards the end, “think of the only person worse than Cade.” Really? Katherine? The woman who was running from Klaus for 500 years, faked her own death, would shiver at the thought of Klaus, that’s the woman that’s worse than Cade the freaking devil??? Okay… like where did this all come from. Sure Katherine wasn’t rainbows and sunshine, but come on the woman was far from the worst or the scariest. She was predictably selfish, but she loved Stefan, loved her daughter, suffered her parents’ slaughter even 500 years later. Why oh why would you make her the devil Julie? She completely missed the mark towards the end. Just seems like lazy writing. Some may argue she was vengeful when she was dragged to hell but that doesn’t mean Katherine who, once again, would pee herself at the thought of Klaus, would be more evil, dangerous, and manipulative than Cade. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to try to convince the audience that she was running the show at the end 🥱 and if that was the case, then Cade was a weak ass villain and the writers shouldn’t have bothered with him at all.

Say there was a TVDU/MCU crossover, would vampire blood be able to help Bucky (Winter Soldier) with his brain? And if so, would it also help remove the trigger words?

damon has tried to kill bonnie in season 1 assaulted caroline while she was compeled killed zach killing zach's pregnant girlfriend killing vicki killed lexi killed arron killed elenas brother after being rejected killed tyler and that news reporter andy he compeled her to love him like what,so why do people forgive him but when stefan killed enzo people wont forgive him like wtf. just wanna know what you guys think of this.

I’m rewatching TVD for the 953rd time and I literally hate how they dealt with Elena being Sired to Damon🥲 he deserved better and her and Stephan were literally only together because they’re doppelgängers idk how did y’all feel about it😫

Sooo I didn't watch the show during it's og run it was only wayyy later that I did then I took a break and came back for the final season at that point I hadn't watched S6 yet even so when I saw this particular promotional poster I was thinking oh! Elena is dead??? And I didn't want to believe it. Looking back I think it would have been if she did stay dead. Maybe it would have all come full circle everything started with her and ends with herand the poster too looked dope af Caroline with Stefan, Bonnie with Enzo, idk who invited matt but he's there ig 🚶🏾‍♀️and Damon alone it could have worked! 🤔🤔

Final shot would be everyone finding peace and Elena's ghost finally leaving mystic falls.

60s or 70s era. Young Sheila Bennett. Being a total badass. Anti war sit ins. Witch stuff. Even a small nod to TVD with her casually mentioning meeting a young handsome man at an anti war sit in who seemed strange. Imagine the costumes and casting potential!

Less crazy supernatural adds like legacies. 95% witches. A touch of vampires maybe for some baddies.

Hi! 1st time watching TVD after the hype pretty much died so i'm really late to this :D

But I have a question.

So it was the prom episode and Tyler came and danced with Caroline, being all like "ohh I gotta leave asap" but an episode earlier, Klaus told Caroline that "I'm not exactly scouring the earth for him, am I?", basically saying he won't hurt him if he's coming back in town but Caroline didn't tell that to Tyler when they danced and then after they danced Klaus threatened Tyler again?! Obviously Klaus threw a jealousy tantrum but I'm still wondering why Caroline didn't tell Tyler about the discussion she had with Klaus. Sorry if all this sounds confusing, did I miss something?

I was talking to a friend who just started The Vampire Diaries and recently finished Season 1. I mentioned that Damon, Bonnie, Caroline were two of my favorite characters, and she was surprised. She questioned why I liked Damon, calling him a horrible person, but she’s only seen him in Season 1 so far. That got me reflecting on Damon as a character, and I realized how different he is in later seasons compared to the first.

In Season 1, Damon was written as the primary antagonist—he did a lot of awful things: attempting to kill Bonnie, actually killing other people for no damn reason, assaulting and compelling Caroline, killing Jeremy, essentially unleashing centuries old vampires on the town. He was manipulative, cruel, and violent it made me think that Damon was probably intended to be the “one of the big bad” originally, but by the end of Season 1, it feels like the writers decided to shift him more toward being a deuteragonist or anti-hero, keeping him as a main character but giving him a more complex arc.

This reminded me of Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl, though I never liked Chuck the way I like Damon. (I’ve always been more of a Nate fan, and I’m neutral about Dan—sometimes he’s more annoying than anyone else in the show). Chuck, like Damon, starts off as an antagonist in the first season. Chuck tries to assault both Serena and Jenny in the first season, and he’s generally awful to everyone. There are a lot of other similarities between Chuck and Damon: both characters have serious family issues, and both get a redemption arc of sorts. Chuck ends up dating one of the main female characters (Blair), while Damon eventually dates Elena. Both relationships end up being toxic, and the female characters' arcs are arguably worsened by their involvement with these men. When Chuck and Blair break up, they each become better characters, but the show eventually forces them back together. Similarly, Damon and Elena’s relationship feels problematic, but the show pushes them as endgame regardless.

It’s frustrating because there was better chemistry and potential in different pairings: Dan and Blair in Gossip Girl, and Damon and Bonnie in The Vampire Diaries. At least Gossip Girl explored Dan and Blair’s relationship, even though it ended badly. The Vampire Diaries, however, never gave Damon and Bonnie a chance, which I find disappointing—possibly due to Julie Plec’s writing decisions. But overall, the parallels between Damon and Chuck are pretty striking...🤔🤔

I was just thinking how the dopplegangers are apparently drawn to each other and then I wondered would that not mean that each generation a pair of dooplegangers would be born? For Elena’s generation would that not be Tom? Super nice guy paramedic that Elena was fates to be with not Stefan?

I just don't know why ppl hate john gilbert. I feel that john was the most wonderful character in the entire series he even sacrificed his own life for elena.

I’m on a TVDU rewatch and I always hear how Bonnie was really just the plot solver of the show and I knew this but i never noticed how bad it was from S2-4 she’s either absent for a few episodes or half of an episode and only appears when a problem arises and they need a witch other than that she plays a silent role and makes faces at other characters choices. I cant really name a big significant character development she had thats comparable to Elena turning into a vampire (plus the sire bond with Damon) or Caroline’s character development
