[@carryknox2013]

I forgot how insane tvd got after Elena left

[@alfiebull1468]

I enjoyed this video it’s was cool seeing the evolution of these characters, it would also be cool to do a timeline of the events that happen before the vampire diaries, the flashbacks and references that happened in the past from the three shows, it would be a long video so it might be split up into parts, am I the only one that things this would be cool. A prologue to this video , to the start of the first episode of the vampire diaries, to see how everything came to be from a fan of these shows. Comment yes or no to this idea

[@jaysha8553]

The amount of times characters seem to think memory wipes are great problem solvers only for it to backfire down the line is astounding.

[@megamega2646]

Season 1,2,3,4,5 Are so good. I always can just rewatch them over and over But the rest I get bored and hella confused and I still haven’t finished watching the show. I’ve only gotten up to season 9 before going back to rewatch season 1.

[@nicoleszukalowski5137]

There was only eight seasons of the show

[@smclean5504]

When Damon’s emotions are off he gets terrible but when STEFAN is emotionless… he gets personal…. Killing Elena???

My Fav Characters: Jenna Anna Tyler Matt Stefan Mikael Esther Tessa Bonnie Jeremy Alaric Camille Davina Josh Aiden Gia Jackson Finn Keelin Declan Ivy Sebastian Chad Emma Ben

[@foxsquad6992]

The only thing is that Elena didn’t sacrifice herself when she was tethered to evil rick. Rebecca tried to off her to put an end to Rick after he stabbed Klaus

[@frankmorris4603]

Tesa made the cure for immortality (Silas) it was never meant for the rest of them but could be used for vampirism.

[@edgaraguache5160]

It's a shame the Salvatores didn't have children. in the future series spin off

[@jaysha8553]

They were vampires. They couldn’t

[@benjamintriplett3]

Technically Damon and Elena did have kids they mentioned it in Legacies.

[@edgaraguache5160]

She should appear in the 5th season of legacies and they should not have canceled

[@lucariomew365]

Yeah, sadly all Stephanie got was multiple off-hand mentions, first in a temporary alternate universe/timeline, but then again in the proper universe.

[@lucariomew365]

Well, technically, Rebekah is responsible for killing Elena. Rebekah vamped sped into the road, ready wanting to kill Elena after Klaus seemingly died; Matt swerved on reflex, and the car went off the bridge. Elena was trapped in her seat belt underwater, and Matt was unconscious. Stefan wanted to save Elena, but Elena wanted him to save Matt first. He refused and went towards her; she insisted that Matt be saved first. He relented and saved Matt, but Elena accidentally drowned without freeing herself before Stefan returned. Sacrificing her safety and eventually her life to protect her friend first. Alaric dying is more like a bonus which would have happened anyway if Rebekah and Elijah had actually got their hands on her. Also, for the people who still don't know why Stefan couldn't save both Elena and Matt with his super strength, its because Vampires are weaker in water. The show has actually made casual, offhand references to this, mostly Damon being snarky-like how he dissed Twilight in early season 1. This concept originates from actual Eastern European vampire lore, which was further popularized by Dracula. Damon even references it again in season 4, after Vampire Elena tried to burn herself in the sun due to the hunter curse. He mentioned that hard it was to carry both herself and him after he threw Elena into the river, and that dragging her through the river exhausted him.

[@asant90]

This is the universe that goes back and forth with bs the most😅

[@infernalkyrex3144]

TO season 2 Finn doesn’t try to kill Klaus because he wants to rule the French quarter he wants to kill Klaus because he hates that his family are vampires

[@suthernstars]

I'm pretty sure Jo was a doctor, not a professor. I could be wrong, it's been a long time since I watched TVD.

[@y2kchristy]

can you do a "scandal" recap, a lot of ppl love that show and i love you and your acc that does recaps so i dont have to watch the showwww

[@RecapAndChill]

It's on my list! Plan on covering it eventually!

[@ghostlyguard7301]

Me remembering that I watched the Originals with my parents and we all just hated Camille

[@jeffescanto]

I was expecting better... i thought this was going to show the entire timeline all the way from 2 thousand years ago when silas and amara first created immortality and when the warewolf curse was born. Then up to the originals birth..1000 years later... you know . A true history of the lore in ascending order... not some bullshit season by season recap.. weve seen this kind of recap 100s of times at this point😂. I tot this video was going to be something more special

[@maniatzanetakou7286]

This video was an incredible idea, however having watched all of the TVD seasons and the Originals, I think the narration along with the scenes depicted don't actually match up. Some details or info was left out, for example the fact that Damon was captured in the past by the Augustines as a test subject. Extremely impressive execution however!
