TVD Ratings - 1.57 million. Wow!!!!!! I never thought it would be that bad. And for a finale! They need to remedy this asap, cause the show might not last the sixth season if the ratings keep droping like this. That's just awful! I wonder if they can even fix this.

In the final ratings it was adjusted up, but only to 1.61. They might be able to fix it if they got Kevin to come back.

Sadly, Kevin won't be back. He has "other" things to do! It would've been great though, cause they sorely miss him. The show has never been the same since he left. I would say I hope the ratings go up, but after what happened in the finale, I doubt whether they will. Unfortunately, this might be the show's new reality. I doubt whether they'll get a season 7.

First they lost most of the stelena fans by forcing delena on them and now they will lose delena fans because they killed him. There will only be a few diehard stean and damon fans left now. I guess the nonshippers left long ago when the plotholes got too much

KW was the show's one hope that it would end with a bang. But it looks like it won't.
CD has brought this show down and will continue to do so unless she fixes things. But it probably is too late.

You all know I expected everything that happened.....too predictable. Stefan, Damon, and Elena all died, but I thought they would bring Elena back as a ghost or human.(it seems she's stagnate as a vamp) Three things seemed totally out of character. 1. Elena's response to seeing Stefan dead on the couch (totally devoid of emotion, but I realize they wanted to focus her grief on losing Damon) 2. Elena's response to Alaric when he told her to go find Bonnie on the other side......No fighting about finding Damon. 3. Damon's response to Elena when she got in the car. This was the first time I can remember Damon respecting any of Elena's decisions. She had no part in the plan.... so the only thing I come up with is Damon was selfish enough to risk Elena dying and something going wrong...just to be together. One thing Damon always did was be overprotective of Elena.....That seemed to disappear with no logical reason. I would have written the car scene with Elena dying of the traveler's spell before they crashed the car . (also something Damon risk....why?) That is still a twist the writers could explore, even with JP's statement. I was disappointed that Lexi didn't come back, but she stayed a true friend to Stefan, and gave her life saving a spot for Damon. I'm probably the only one who isn't absolutely thrilled about Alaric's return. I lost respect for him when he became BFF and Drinking Buddies with the guy that bedded his wife. I love Caroline's ruthless attitude and devotion to being a friend to Stefan......please don't take it to the bed unless it's the end-game.

Damon will never be redeemed in my opinion.

I liked the season 5 finale, but it was all so rushed...my oh my...have to rewatch and post my thoughts then. Here are my first impressions. I am pondering about who died and who not e.g. Liz Forbes Sheriff Forbes needs some vamp blood to heal all those bad burns. My Beremy heart was bleeding, i howled when Jer spoke to Bon on mobile and cried "don't you dare ..." and when he ran to find her I was shredded to pieces. My poor Jer Damon&Elena were so Thelma&Louise, that was cool. And then at the end Damon pulled a Sidney Carton. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh when Silas was sucked into the black hole. So glad that Markos got sucked away, ROFL hehehe I am very happy that Ty survived, very happy that Matt, Caro and Jer made it out without a scratch. Happy Stef and Ric made it out. But as Silas appeared I was a bit confused whether it was Stef or Silas. R.I.P. Sheila and Lexi. So disappointed that those useless wonder twin witches survived. ...to be continued Cheers The end scene was awesome imo, so sci fi. Bon and Damon holding hands and waiting for Idk, we will see next season.

I think this season was a filler season. Why? Well, Julie said next season will be a "reset" which I'm really glad about after such a mediocre season. The storyline on this season made little to no sense. What were The Travellers' agenda? Other than wanting to find a home to live in. That was lame. I thought this was going to be a great season until episode 11. This brings up Katherine. She was my favorite character, and when she jumped inside Elena I knew exactly what the writers were up to. They wanted to remind us, fans, that she wasn't a "good" person and that she does horrible things. They knew Katherine was a very liked character and one of the most important fan favorites. So they tried to make us hate her, so we wouldn't care much that she died. In fact this was working, on twitter many Katherine fans were pleading the writers to kill her off and saying what a b*** she was etc etc. I think this was a horrible way to end Katherine's story. Because she's a hurt soul at her deepest core, and they ended her like she came onto the show, a ruthless 500 year old vampire. I would have preferred that she died on 5x11, it was a beautiful goodbye episode and all for nothing. This is where I started disliking TVD and losing interest. And it wasn't just because of Katherine's death.
Many fans didn't like Season 4 either but I have nothing as bad to say about it, sure it was less interesting than Season 3. It was just a tad(ok, sometimes a LOT) boring because of the whole cure thing. I enjoyed this season a lot from 4x01 to 4x12, episodes 13 and 14 were the ones I disliked the most. From 15 onward, I loved it, specially 15,16 and 18.
Anyway, most people blame everything on Julie for this season but truth is, she's the most innocent. She had 2 other shows to run, and something tells me she likes to work on TO better. (You can see that with the amount of scripts she wrote for it, and the amount of scripts (1) she wrote for this TVD season.) She was still involved but a lot less. I blame Julie for leaving Caroline Dries on charge, up until this season I loved the episodes she wrote. But whenever I see her explaining something to fans (Like Katherine being dragged to 'hell') I'm sitting there like, did you really just say that? I mean, come on, let's be honest this season is nothing like TVD at its best, with Kevin and Julie. The first 10 episodes still looked like the show I love, but onward from that... I didn't like it much.
This season really hurt ratings too, but the entire plot line for this season was to fill the number "5". The Augustine plot line from 1 to 10 episodes, Katherine's agenda from 11 to 15. And from 15 to 22, the traveller crap. And look at other seasons, Season 1's main plot was centered around Damon getting Katherine back, the tomb vampires, etc. Things that affected the show. Season 2, Klaus and his curse 1 plot line. Season 3, The Originals' back story and how to kill Klaus 1 big plot line. Season 4, Elena adjusting to being a vampire and the search for the cure, 1 big plot line. Then you get to season 5 and you see a big mess from episode 11 to 22. I honestly believed the Augustine thing was going to be the main plot for the entire season, Oh and I almost forgot! The Silas and Tessa story... yes it was so short I completely forgot about it. But getting to my original point, this was a filler season which I hope pays off with an awesome season 6. I don't want to get my hopes up yet, but I really hope and think season 6 is going to be awesome. I hope Julie takes some more charge over TVD, I wouldn't mind if Michael Narducci took over The Originals fully or a bigger role like Caroline has on TVD, Michael is a really good writer that doesn't come up with stupid storylines. Anyway, this is getting too long, but this is what I thought of TVD Season 5.

Welcome Bruno, great post, but I singled this out because I'm such a Katherine fan too. Her redemption arc was the highlight of the season for me, and it was fitting the Stefan (who actually liked her) took her out in the end. Hope they bring her back, but probably not. She's just a much stronger character than Elena as a vamp. For me they regressed Elena's character rather than enhanced it in S4 & 5. If you have any questions about the site ... tap me with a PM (personal message) Glad to help if I can...the page needs more guy blood infused.

ok so I rewatched finally. I did it different and watched episode 21 and 22, bec it felt good as a two parter. An I must say I really really liked the finale. It made up for a weak season 5. At least for me it did. And I loved the clifffhanger and also Damon plan, his sacrifice and pulling Sidney Carton. He got his brother back. He saved his friend Sheriff Forbes. That meant alot to me, as I had just finished watching season 1 and 2 a few days ago. I also understand the SL of season 5 better now. I didn't like the Augustine and Traveller SL either, but Augustine was important to set up Enzo etc and the Traveller SL Idk...maybe just to blow up the other side I don't care about Katharina, her storyline was so crappy in the end... and I still don't forgive her for what she did to Jer on Silas island. It was done in cold blood. Anyways I hope these chanters do NOT come back, but I guess they are gone. Same applies for those stupid twins. Hopefully their coven deals with them and kills them ... I want to share this video again, bec I am so impressed by the ending. I really am a sucker for those TVD cliffhangers, but this one was epic. Cheers

It's nice to have one living and I would hate Caroline to lose her mom...the sherrif has been such a good influence, I'm so happy she had a hero moment in s5 finale.
