Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I actually never got that far in the show but I knew about what they did.

Yep, I did. It was the season when the little brother was turned into a vampire. I got distracted by Supernatural and NCIS: Los Angeles and never went back to it sadly.

Whoops, was that the season it was in? I thought it was season 4? I guess I missed a lot of the show. I was hoping to see more of Elijah in it.

Hmmm so I’m on season 5 now and Jeremy has been… Different for at least two so…

How many times has Elena fallen off Wickory bridge? -that’s the one where her parents died

Oof I think she only fell once when she drowned then became a vampire. I think.

Oh. That was season 3/4

I think she had been a vampire for a good bit before the brother got turned, I definitely remember Bonnie dying too as a result of a spell she cast.

Bonnie does a lot. More specific please :expressionless:

She closed the rift in the veil between the world of the living and world of the dead. Maybe, I was farther than I realized?

Lol your almost exactly where I am. That happens start of season 5/ end of 4

Bump?

When is a story too tragic?

When it’s a bad tragedy that’s written wrong.

Killing every single character off (if written well) can be absolutely perfect.

But when not done well it’s just sad

I agree. Tragedy isn’t about the death of the characters, it’s more than that.

You’ve got amazing questions!

If there’s no point behind the tragedy. It doesn’t have to teach a lesson per se but if it feels just arbitrary and unnecessary, it dulls the impact (unless of the message is about life being arbitrary, that could be an exception).
