While we're on the subject of music, does anyone remember how "Say Something" by A Great Big World was playing when Katherine was trying to seduce Stefan the night of the Bitter Ball? That almost ruined one of my favorite songs. I love the music on TVD, but sometimes the right song plays at the wrong moment. I haven't had that experience yet, glad it didn't ruin your song @seiwriter. My fave old song experience was hearing the cover of INXS "Never tear us apart" at the Monster ball. Reminded me how much I loved INXS, so I downloaded both the original & Cary Brothers cover to add to my TVD playlist, which is pretty extensive now.

Day 3.Who was your favorite Character of TVD and why?
I love anything Paul so my favorite character's were Stefan, Silas and Tom.
aaahhhhhhhhhh....Silas!!! the bus stop scene topped it all, didn't it ? I will just say this: Hilarious !!!! I've re watched this scene at least 5 times, probably embarrassingly more! It's funny even while it's awful. Paul has good timing, and that casual Silas attitude....

Day 6.What were the most shocking things for you in season 5?
When Jeremy was almost killed in the car accident once AGAIN, this time by Katharina. I really thought "b*** I hope you drop dead soon enough" and I thought "OH NO YOU WRITERS ARE NOT GOING THERE AGAIN!!!!!"
When Jeremy was kidnapped by Damon and Enzo and was suffocated with a plastic bag, I nearly vomited on the keypad. I was so shocked and furious that I wanted to reach inside to the screen and kill them both.
When Jesse was killed in cold blood by Dr. MacCreepenstein Wes and then killed again by our heroine Elena. He was just another innocent boy.
When Silas killed the mayor and father of Bonnie.
And I really don't dig all this arm and wrist cutting we had this season, it gets to my most inner core...disgusting. It is one thing with the neck bites , but these slashings of arms and wrists are so gross. Bah!!!

Yes it was horrible but not quite as bad as a certain pairing whining about being apart and fawningvall over each other.

Day 5.Who in your opinion got the most character growth?
This is a really tough one. I would say Caroline but that really was in S2 after she became a vampire.
I will say Matt. Through every season he has beat the odds of becoming a vampire and every season he has grown up a bit. I also can't forget the hot summer he had with Rebecca and Nadia. So Matt is my guy.

Actually, I have been nursing hard feelings towards Elena for her lack of expression of feeling over Stefan's death in 5x21 since that show aired a few weeks ago. But seen from her perspective, the day after she loses Jenna, she also loses Stefan, who makes a desperate choice to leave her. He had good reasons for so doing -- to save Damon at the end of Season Two, and then to keep her hidden from Klaus. But she must have felt left. Then she loses Ric. Now she loves Damon, and, possibly from her perspective, he chooses to risk losing her to save Stefan. So she goes with him. Then, circumstance of fate, she finds herself left -- again. Maybe I have been a bit too hard on her. I honestly don't think Elena's lack of expression after losing Stefan was all that shocking. In her mind, there was no doubt he wasnt dead dead, that he would be back to earth shortly. She was on a mission to bring Stefan back no matter what it took...it showed me optimism and strength he hasn't seen from her all season. In my mind, he choosing to blow herself up wasn't just for Damon, it was to show that she was willing to sacrifice herself for Stefan alongside Damon. Elena showing emotion for Damon, not for Stefan, wasn't a matter of choosing 1 vs the other, it was because she already accepted Damon was dead dead and not coming back-if roles were reversed and Stefan was the one dead dead, no doubt in my mind she would have acted the same way.

Day 6 - most shocking parts of s6. 1) hands down killing off Damon..not because it wasn't teased prior to the finale, but because they actually went through with it. I'm mostly shocked because of the huge impact it'll have on s6, and I'm not 199% sure the impact will be for the better. Bold move. 2) I'll copy jennifer response, Damon was tortured in Augustine for 5 years, how much that experience must have shaped the character he is today 3)..just how badly the writers handled certain storylines. What's so shocking is the storylines I was most excited about couldn't have been more disappointing. I didn't know tvd could let me down so much, they always came through for me in the past. My top 3: -Tessa finding Stefan in the safe just so she can fry his brain, and not Damon or Elena. That could have been a fantastic reunion moment filled with huge emotion (positive and negative) and impact for the rest of the season for our top characters. instead, it was just an intro to a storyline and mythology that I didn't much care for. It also set up too negative of a tone for the rest of the season...that as much as we want are characters to be the big heroes, quite often they let us down. -Damon taking such a bold move by telling Enzo to kill Jeremy. Fine, bring Damon's character down to bring him back up again, I get that. And i get this is a vamp show, not everything is always nice. But don't kill off one of the most promising ships for me-bromance between damon and Jeremy. And it wasnt even followed up on-if it was used as one of the ways to kill off delena, it didnt really work...Elena never even found out about it, and if she did, she didn't seem to care much. Both are out of this world unbelievable. -delena-like it or not they are an important part of tvd and a fan favorite. When they were finally explored as a real couple, all that was brought out was the bad parts and none of the positives-to the point where even the romantic stuff (was there anything nice and romantic) seemed cheap and out of place. Or should I say bad point, singular-at least if they wanted to only bring out the bad, bring out more than just 1 aspect over and over again...because the way they did it, delena was not only sad, it was also boring and an eye roller.

I didn't think they would kill off Damon ...YET!!! I sometimes suspect they do follow the books as a rough skeleton. Since a few years I have been predicting that Damon will die in the series finale, but not the season 5 finale. Now being a modest humble middle of the roader as shoe20 already put it, even I admit that I was tearful over his death, but having pulled the Sidney Carton, saving his friend Liz Forbes (because he could have made it out if it hadn't been for this), getting rid of all the travelers etc etc) it gave him a full redemption arc within a few episodes. It meant alot to me that he saved Liz Forbes. But as I very much am in love with Jeremy and Bonnie as a couple his death was overshadowed for me by the seperation of this young couple. Personally I don't see much of bromance between Jer and Damon, Damon did it over and over again. There was a couple of times when he tretaed Jer really badly, not only killing him I am talking about. This season he topped it, the consequence was a serious one this time --> Jer moved out. What irritates the hell out of me is that Elena didn't get a thing, she hadn't a clue or didn't care or the writers forgot to take it up. They (the EP) said in the very beginning that Damon and Elena and Stefan and Elena are a triangle that the story is based on. The problem is either the writing was bad or the acting was miserable. Up til that moment somewhere in season 4 Damon and Elena HAD chemistry, but what followed was a big constipation. I have to rewatch to write sth about AUGUSTINE because at that time there were a few episodes that I didn't really dig. Last not least "that as much as we want are characters to be the big heroes, quite often they let us down"
I really like this statement, it is quite an epiphany

Day 6.What were the most shocking things for you in season 5?I have to say Damon's and Elena's choices in the finale, they seemed OOC related to the series. One of two options has to be true regarding Damon's choice to let Elena on the mission.Damon felt there was no risk in completing the plan and getting back, or he realized it was a possible "Suicide Mission" and didn't have a problem risking Elena's life too. Elena's choice that was out of character.Elena told us before she got in the car, she thought it was a Suicide Mission.....That shows her co-dependance and selfishness with her consuming love, by not caring how it affected Jeremy and friends if the plan went bad. She's learned the "not sorry" lesson well this season, but this was totally OOC for series Elena. The true heroine of the finale was Lexi, who was willing to give her life for the man who killed her, so Stefan could get his brother back.....that's selfless!

True heroine was also Bonnie, who didn't blink with an eyelid and saved as many friends as possible. And I don't understand the rest of your comment tbh. The stuff about Elena and damon

I havent been upto date with these and once I get time.I will.definitely answer them but I think the one that had the most growth was stefan. He went through so much this season and he kept it together. I was also going to day Katherine bc she really did until she proved she is silk queen b and wants to eff everything up lol

Well said debbie I remember when elena lost Jeremy she wasn't emotional at first she was convinced Bonnie could bring him back.

Tbh...I really think she was shocked...BUT I think they had a real survival problem ...similar to the titanic has struck an iceberg, we have 2 hours maximum, then she will founder. Get the lifeboats ready.

Day 6: What were the most shocking things for you in season 5?
A lot of things fell short for me last season. I even saw it coming that Amara was the anchor.
If anything shocked me, it was Katherine putting herself in Elena's body and succeeding in having Elena's spirit sealed in Katherine's corpse. I remember how upsetting that moment was, and trying to figure out how Elena might have somehow escaped that fate. For a while I thought the Travelers felt sorry for Elena or something, and Sloan was Elena. Of course that wasn't the case. Then I was disappointed to see that all it took was a dagger to Elena's chest to bring her back to her body after everything that was done to make sure she was "gone forever," as Nadia put it. I get that Katherine had to be shown to be a true villain so that less people would complain when she got killed off permanently, but this particular arc didn't make much sense to me. I especially didn't like the part where Bonnie was in the church in the end, and she acted like Katherine was some kind of friend to her. That told me that Katherine nearly pulled off a body switch because Elena has been drifting apart from her friends for a while. I'm not surprised that the EPs decided to start Season 6 with the characters separated. It actually makes sense.

Day 7. What made you the happiest in season 5 ?
The fact that Bonnie was corporated again and that she and Jer got to spend the time together, which Bon described as a present/gift in her last words to him.
Matt making out with Bex made me freezegrin like an idiot.
That Caro and Ty hugged when he came back from the Other Side.
That Ty came back to Mystic Falls after his crossover to NO.
That Katharina was killed off after her SL got very very cheap and crappy. Loved it that Nadia exited as well.
I simply applauded with a mental standing ovation when Caro snapped Luke's neck.
It made me very happy that Damon saved Sheriff Liz.
