Yea he says it's like an arranged marriage. While this episode was promoted as SE heavy, I actually think it'll end on a hopeful note for DE.

This newest interview with Paul leads me to believe Damon is definitely one of the ones that's taken by an unusual fate in season finale. He flat out says it isn't Stefan.

I definitely don't plan on watching this episode until I come here and see if it was as bad as I'm anticipating. Not for ratings or to make some statement, I just don't feel like wasting an hour watching something that is just going to annoy me. I had no problem watching SE for the first three seasons because the major arcs of those seasons were actually good and well written, but this season has been absolute garbage. I've honestly never cared about the doppleganger nonsense, the Augustine society, and this current stuff we're getting into.

Hopefully someone as cynical (when it comes to this show and its treatment of Damon) as me can give the thumbs up to watch the episode if it ends up being okay.

Paul's words are strange in that interview b/c he says there are 12 more guesses makes me wonder if it has something to do w/the dopplegangers.

Caroline Dries also thought that 5x11 was a spectacular episode, when it turned out to be one of the worst hours of television I've ever witnessed. I trust her as much as I trust Stefan around my pets.

Thanks for the link, tragedy.

I think he was talking about the leads. Cuz he says "one of the leads ends up in a place thats quite dismal looking for future hope" and in the actual radio interview he basically points out that its not Stefan so that leaves 12 other guesses. There's like 12 other leads in the show that the fate could take. If it was another doppelganger, the fans wouldn't care. Especially as a cliffhanger.

[Maxmeli]

I'm basically convinced that Damon will be the one that gets screwed over in the finale, which is refreshing since that's never happened in any of the other finales.

[LuvinJames23]

The way I see it, if Damon legit "dies" in this season finale then most likely it won't happen in the series finale which I definitely do NOT want happening. Plus it seems Ian filmed more than usual for the S5 finale so it looks like this might be promising for Damon/ian in the long run.

I really have good feelings about the finale this year ! fingers crossed we wont get disappointed

new:

How many episodes does this season have?

[LuvinJames23]

I love how SE have simply become good friends. There's really no romance still there and Stefan knows the realness of DE'S love.

Things are about to get intense!!!

TFP!!

AlwaysCB There's 22 episodes this season.

Yep. seems like it

[Litmusy]

Personally, I am over this season. DE has been a disaster, a huge disappointment. I'm not sure it's because of the writing, real-life breakup or who knows what, but I have been incredibly disappointed in the development of both of them and their storyline.

I haven't watched the last few episodes, but is there actually anything to look forward to in regards to DE growth (besides sex?). Will they be talking and will the triangle be ending (for once in our favor)?

[vessy]

This episode broke my heart, i mean the ending. i hope thing will go better.....or i will not watch.

[prodigious28]

Well nothing was really accomplished in this episode. I feel like we've been going on and on about this breakup for DE for the past four episodes. it's time to either move on from the topic or put them back together.

Wasn't really all that happy with Elena jumping on the "let's be friends" bandwagon as if it's a brand new pair of boots that she couldn't resist. It really does seem like she has no intention of getting back together w/him which is understandable but at least a little more sadness about such decisions.

The SE stuff was nice...but again it felt like we were doing the breakup all over again. We really don't need to see that at all...AGAIN!. it was done last season...let's not rehash it again.

[LuvinJames23]

I didn't see it that way. That last SE scene was the final nail in the SE coffin. They're done. Finished. And having Marcos confess the whole prophecy is B.S. and is only a spell he put on the doppelgangers himself. .it really put a damper on SE's entire relationship. Yes they do love each other but tonight proved that DE are the true love story. I think Elena just sees their break up as time apart. Nothing official. Which is why she's not that upset or worried about it. But now I think she will be after what Damon said.

I personally enjoyed it! And I think Damon's part in the upcoming episodes is gonna be BIG!!! can't wait!
