The Vampire Diaries

  • Season 08
  • Episode 16
  • I Was Feeling Epic

The Vampire Diaries Was a Far Better Show Than It Needed to Be

It was a teen drama, angsty and full of chiseled hunks. It could have floated, but it refused to.

  • S.07
  • Ep.04
  • 'I Carry Your Heart With Me'

Between the Steroline romance, the intriguing flash-forwards, and the return to season-one levels of blood and gore, I’m really loving this season. 

  • S.06
  • Ep.18
  • 'I Never Could Love Like That'

We don’t know how Elena’s story will end, but we do know our lives will not be the same without her.

Julie Plec on Containment, TVD

"You are working in a very tight space, watching this woman basically bleed out and die in front of you again and again and again."
