Stelena fandom complaining about the Delena confession and how Stefan isn’t treated right and how the episode sucked.
Delena fandom complaining about the Stelena fandom complaining and how Delena has waited four season for this moments and how the episode was amazing.
Me sitting over here complaining about both fandoms and how nobody is seeing how the episode sucked no matter which fandom you root for.
The sire bond is gone. That was mentioned twice in the episode, once by Damon and once by Stefan. The sire bond has nothing to do with Elena's choice tonight and a good part of S5 will be Elena and Damon in a happy relationship. This was all confirmed by Julie Plec in her post show interview. Also it could not be Silas who confessed to Damon as at this point he was still a stone body since Bonnie had not crossed over yet. Silas confirms this with Stefan.
I know the sire bond is gone. I am saying the finale was the time where the fans find out if the sire bond was the reason behind her feelings, whether they were amplifying them or making them in general. Whether what she felt for Damon was real or all because of the sire bond during the beginning of the season. WE found out that her feelings for him were not brought upon because of the sire bond, just amplified from previous feelings.
I did not even trace the fact that he was stone until Bonnie crossed over with my theory of it being Silas confessing. That was my mistake. I did not even put those two together.
However, I feel there has to be something more behind the confession. I do need to rewatch it and I know I am sounding like a Stelena fan, but nothing in this episode seems to back up her choice. And this is from a reviewer stand point, not a team/ fan.
Elena making her choice pisses me off. Not one thing in this episode led me to believe she was going to choose Damon, or Stefan for that matter. Listening to her lines and how to acted, I was led to believe that Elena was not going to make her choice in this episode.
In episode 20, yes, Damon was the one to make the plan to kill Matt to bring Elena’s humanity back. But when it did, she pushed Damon away, she wanted nothing to do with him and would listen to nothing he said. It was Stefan to make her focus on an emotion, the one she listened to as the emotions ran through her. Not Damon.
In episode 21, all Damon did for Elena was “keep her away from Katherine”, which he didn’t even do. After that, he ran around town with ghosty Alaric. Stefan, on the other hand, stopped her from killing Katherine and telling her that killing Katherine will not bring back Jeremy or make her happy again. He was, again, the one to help her with ranging her emotions. Not Damon.
And like every other finale, season 4 must end with Elena making a choice. In season 1, it was “Elena” kissing Damon. Season 2, Elena staying with the dying Damon while Stefan gambles for the cure to save his brother, with Elena giving the dying Damon a farewell kiss. Season 3, Elena choosing to see Stefan, who may be dying due to Klaus being killed, over Damon, who also may be dying due to Klaus being killed. So, ultimately, season 4 must have a choice between which brother.
Now, looking back at previous episodes, especially the recent ones, any fan would believe she was choosing Stefan, just by who is helping her with her vampirism more. Yet, there is still the sire bond dilemma, “Were her feelings just heighten from the sire bond? Or were they placed because that is what Damon wanted?” This question must be answered during the finale.
She chooses Damon. After telling him he is the worst choice she will make, he is her choice. But according to what has happen in more recent episodes, Stefan should’ve been her decision. Even JP is quoted to say that “Damon and Elena is not long lasting” and “Stefan and Elena are the end, they just have to get there.” So, does this mean the Stelena fandom must wait until season 5?
But here comes Silas, disguised as Elena. Hmmm, where does that lead us? Should the Delena fandom continue cheering or is it Stelena’s return?
The Stelena fan in me is betting everything she owns on that it was Silas who confessed to Damon.
The Stefan fan in me is wishing Stefan to get out of the box in the river and run far away from Mystic Falls and be happy, leaving this Silas shit to Damon and Elena.
The neutral watcher in me is believing that JP doesn’t know how to write a finale episode and just sent an entire fandom in a rampage, most likely losing many watchers for the bullshit this episode is made of.
The neutral watcher in me also wants to watch the last couple episodes again and analyze every line to figure out if anything in this season lead up to what this finale became.
The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Finale Rant
I honestly do not get anything from this episode. I literally think Julie Pec pulled everything in this episode out of somewhere. I don’t know if it was out of a hat, a drawer, her ass, no idea.
I am late on the game for TVD. Well, not really. I was dedicated watcher, in front of the TV in time, during season 1. Then season 2 came and my family switched cable providers and I started doing things late at night and ended up missing episodes. Halfway season 2, I gave up.
My friend at college is an avid watcher and convinced me to watch TVD on Netflix and catch up. I got to episode five of season four and gave up when I saw Stelena dying. I watched the last three episodes so I know next to nothing about Silas and Jeremy’s death. And I honestly feel that me going and watching all of season 4 is not going to help me figure out this finale one bit.
As I talked to my friend, I was telling her how seamless Seasons 1-3 were. How each episode led to the next and every episode was hinted with the next plot twist and sure, there were surprises, but going back a couple episodes will lead to answers and finales had some ending to things and beginning to others. The joys of Kevin Williams (I think that is his last name?).
But then season 4 starts with Julie Plec and I am immediately upset within the first episode because I am being blown to the side with each detail. Then these past three episodes, which should all blend together and answer questions, lead us nowhere.
Katherine turning human? Where did that come from? They make this huge detail about the cure from the get go of season 4 and going around trying to make us figure out who will get the cure and it’s Katherine in a fight with Elena? If that isn’t pulled out of someone’s ass I don’t know what is.
And Alaric. Now, he is one of my favorites. I literally cried when he died. He is the father figure every person should have in life and I just, GAH! I want Ric in my life. He’s back and helping Elena and telling Damon to “get the girl”?
Maybe this is my feminist/ women’s studies classes influence on this but what the fuck? He “got the girl”??! Why do we not have to prove who is worthy of Elena? Why does it seem that we now have to convince Elena who she should choose when she is perfectly capable of choosing? Yes, Damon, you won. You “got the girl.” She told you that you are the worst choice she will make and you “got” her. Congratulations, from me, from JP, from the Delena fandom, and from Stefan and the Stelena fandom. Because at least Stefan can tell you that he is happy for your happiness, even if that means he didn’t “get” the girl.
And you know what? I’m not even going to start on the Silas/Stefan doppleganger issue or Bonnie dying for Jeremy’s life. Because you know what? This episode is UTTER. BULLSHIT. Not one thing made sense and nothing lead to anything that happened.
Elena too quickly lost her anger towards Katherine. Stefan spent how long hunting Klaus for turning off his humanity? Bringing up Rebekah’s ex and his kidnapping and threatening of Matt’s life lasted for five minutes just so Rebekah and Matt to kiss. Everyone is rooting for Klaroline and now all of a sudden Tyler is allowed to come back. Jeremy was really only brought back because the fandom freaked out, and it wasn’t even properly done.
This episode just sucked. I hated it. This is definitely the worst finale of TVD.
