Seriously Plec?

Basically as the title says, my reaction to her recent interview with EW. I’ll start with this:

I literally have no words since she wrote one of the worst and laziest series finales in television history. I have no idea what she thinks she wrote, but that isn’t it.

Again I don’t know what she thinks she wrote but that wasn’t it. If they didn’t care about shippers or fans Damon would have died, hell, maybe even Elena, but that finale was basically geared to please no one. And what overall story? That episode is one of the most disjointed episodes of the series, the fact that it’s the series finale is just the icing on the cake.

I know somebody already touched on it but in what universe is that a satisfying ending for Bonnie. It’s basically ship bating with an added side of degradation of her character. That was literally my greatest fear for Bonnie’s ending, her basically pushed aside for Delena. This actually makes me happy about her ending because now I know exactly how much worse it could have been.

I really find that rich coming from her since she’s really never been all that great with character development or keeping up with characterization, but at what point has she ever worked off actor chemistry. If she did there’s a half-a-dozen Bonnie ships that would have come to fruition and Delena would have died with the triangle in season 3.

And speaking of Delena where was that attitude (highlighted in blue) with them in season 5. Seriously, you don’t know how much the show would have improved that season and the rest of the series if they had cut their losses with them. Delena had been explored to it’s fullest at that point and everyone realized that they’re boring and the only thing that could give them any semblance of interest was breaking up and getting back together, but even that just added to their mind numbing boringness and just added a nice brand new layer of annoying. I mean seriously, you didn’t like them pre S4 and found them annoying then well welcome to season 5 where they became unbearable.

Alright, now this drives me insane because how was Stefan dying more interesting? How? Now personally I wasn’t mad that he dies just the how because I was perfectly fine with any of the main trio dying if not all of them. But Stefan dying was definitely the more boring route because with Damon alive, all that basically there was to do with him was Delena AKA character regression for everyone. Damon dying was literally the best way for every character to move on and conclude the series. I guess KW is to blame there which means all the TVD writers are bad at they’re jobs. 

Take away: How the fuck does Julie Plec still get writing jobs? And they wasted 8 years of my life all for a character they put no effort in and were never going to.
