Season 4 Finale

Wow! What a fantastic episode!

I recognize that the Season 4 finale was almost completely biased toward Delena fans, but I can't help but be incredibly happy about the events that took place.  These were the events that I was most excited about.  

1. Sire bond is gone, and Elena confessed her love for Damon.  

2. Jeremy is back!!

3. Klaus let Tyler go.  

I don't think I can even touch on the Silas/Stefan story.  It is just too strange and weird to try and decipher.  I am still not sure I even understand what was happening.  Obviously, season 5 will be Silas running around and posing as Stefan.  Who knows what we are going to see?  I am hoping that Damon is the one to figure out things aren't quite right and save Stefan.  

I couldn't stop thinking about who Elena would pick in the weeks leading up to the finale.  I spent everyday researching all about the triangle between the trio.  I wanted to know more about what Julie Plec, and the actors said about the love triangle.  It was hard to decipher, because no one is ever satisfied.  People take Julie's words to mean different things, so all I could do was wait.  I was nervous that it would be Stefan, like Damon, I was so used to Elena rejecting him.  She continuously picked Stefan... why would this be any different?  

I screamed when she said she loved him, and he moved toward her.  He kissed her in that Damon way (I have never seen any guy kiss the way Ian Somerhalder kisses) that we all love.  There was nothing better than that.  It was almost worth the full four season wait.  

Jeremy is back!  This was exciting, because there were so many rumors going around that neither Steven McQueen, or Michael Trevino would be back for the fifth season - which was disappointing to me on both accounts.  To see Jeremy come back was one of the best decisions of the show.  I understand that a lot of people were upset with this, because they feel the death of Jeremy needed to happen for Elena.  I would argue the opposite, why does Elena need to lose everyone in her life?  The show started out with Jeremy and Elena, and I think it should continue on that path - brother/sister relationships are important.  

The sweep of the show was by far the Delena parts.  For once, I feel like Damon and Elena got their due.  Now the question is, how long will this last?  How far into Season 5 can we get until things start messing up?  

A lackluster season 4 ended brilliantly for Delena fans.  Poor Stefan is laying at the bottom of a watering hole, while everyone else achieved happiness.  I refuse to think about anything else except the elation from the episode that ended with happiness for Damon and Elena - FINALLY!  I hope you get more happy moments between the couple.  Season 5 is sure to be an interesting one.  

How My Obsession Began....

I remember exactly what I was doing.  I was searching through Fifty Shades of Grey videos on youtube.  I came across this video of Damon and Elena. 

It was this video that had me hooked.

After this, I had to check this couple out.  I knew little to nothing about the Vampire Diaries.  I am a huge Twilight fan, and knew it was about Vampires.  I was always intrigued, but the time was never right to actually sit down and spend another hour out of my life to watch a show.  I was already hooked on True Blood.  

I realized that Vampire Diaries was on netflix, and I was in luck.  I was staying with my parents over Christmas Break, and they had netflix.  I turned it on over the break, and I was hooked.  I wasn't sure who I liked, because the show was so plot driven.  I always connect with characters, or fall in love with certain characters.  I knew a lot of the actors from watching other shows.  

I knew Ian Somerhalder from a little known movie, Life As A House and Smallville.  Life As A House is one of my all time favorite movies.  I was excited to see him, because I love that movie.  I didn't know if he was a good actor or not - but Vampire Diaries showed me how great he is.  

I knew Paul Wesley from Smallville, and Everwood.  He had small roles on those shows, and I am really good at remembering faces.  He is also a very good actor.  

Matt Davis was in Blue Crush, and one of my all time favorite movies - Legally Blonde.  He slowly became one of my favorites on the show, and I can see he is a fan favorite for everyone else as well.  

Anyways, back to Vampire Diaries.  Season 1 was fascinating - there were so many twists and turns I could barely keep up with analyzing or falling in love with characters because I was too focused on the plot.  

- Who was this Katherine girl?  

- What is this issue between Damon and Stefan?  

- Why is Damon such an ass? 

- Bonnie, why is she so damn cool?  

- Why is Elena the only person Damon is remotely nice to?  

- What are these rings that protect them from the sun?  

- Katherine didn't die?!

- Elena was adopted?  

- Elena's mother is Ric's former wife?  

- John is Elena's father?  

- And many, many, many, many more!  

It was these twists that had me coming back for more, and I remember watching ten episodes in one day on netflix.  I would stay up all night over Christmas Break, and by the beginning of January I had every episode finished seasons 1 - 3.  I had to find Season 4 on Hulu, buying it on itunes, and watching it on reruns during the hiatuses on the CW.  

After recovering from the after shock of so many plot twists, I was able to go back and truly enjoy the characters, and complex stories that are intricately woven within the show.  I still couldn't decide who I really liked.  I liked different characters for different reasons.  

Elena:  She was refreshing to watch, because she had a strong vulnerability to her.  She was sad, and upset - but tough and kind.  She seemed like someone that girls could really view as a role model.  

Stefan:  He was a nice guy.  

Damon:  He's funny, attractive, charming and mysterious.  Not to forget that he has blue eyes to die for, especially for girls who love eyes. You know what I am talking about ladies!

Caroline: She was much harder to like in the beginning, although it was easy to feel sorry for her when Damon used her as his own personal doll toy.  

Bonnie:  What a complete bad ass!  I think in the beginning she had one of the most interesting story lines.  Her innocence was endearing, and she was extremely like able.  

Jeremy:  I always wanted to hug Jeremy, and make everything better for him.  He had such a hard time dealing with his parents death, but he was such a good guy.  

It was still too early to know what to think of Matt, Tyler, and Vicki.  Tyler was extremely difficult to like.  Vickie died too quickly to really get to know her, and set a mindset for the character.  

It didn't take much longer until the characters started developing, and a clear choice was in order.  In fact it was the moment I heard Damon tell Elena, "I will always choose you," that I was completely hooked.  There are certain moments that I loved before, but was still a little unsure because the plot took me through such a massive whirlwind.  

Watching Damon and Elena's relationship blossom throughout season 2, and season 3 was like watching the beginnings of an epic romance unfold.  These two had incredible chemistry.  

After all the ups and downs of season 2 and 3, and sending us Delena fans on a back and forth spiral that was completely unfair - I knew I could never be a Stelena fan.  From the moment he saved Matt over her in the Season 3 finale, I knew I could never ever be Team Stefan.  Team Delena was solidified for me.  

I am hooked now, an ultimate Delena fan.  I made this blog so that I can bring Delena fans together, and have a more common ground.  The Delena sites seem to be more limited in scope.  I hope to add to the fandom, and give all Delena fans a voice.  

Thank you for visiting Delena's MysticFalls!  I hope you enjoy.
