The Vampire Diaries - Season Five Review

by iwantmycookies | created - 03 Oct 2014 | updated - 06 Oct 2014 | Public

Season Rating - 8-great Highlight episode - Gone Girl

Not the best season, not the worst either. Dragged to begin with and picked up halfway through, the Katherine storyline very good. I liked Enzo a lot too, cross between Klaus and Damon which is never bad. The finale was good but nothing special nor original, I'm just glad Alaric's back. As for Damon 'dying'? Eh...the fact he'll be back next season detracts from any emotional-worthiness there.
