‘The Vampire Diaries’ Series Finale: Fans React to the End of the Show
All good things must come to an end. After eight seasons of blood-sucking, curses, resurrections, and epic romances, The Vampire Diaries wrote its final chapter last night.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The supernatural drama concluded in its usual breakneck fashion, with Stefan (Paul Wesley) sacrificing himself to kill Katherine (Nina Dobrev) in hellfire. He vowed eternal love for his new wife, Caroline (Candice King), who ended up starting a boarding school with Alaric (Matt Davis) and some other familiar faces (Steven R. McQueen’s Jeremy!) and received an impressive donation in the mail from Klaus. Stefan also paved the way for his brother, Damon (Ian Somerhalder), to live out his life with Elena (also Dobrev), who ultimately went to med school. Bonnie (Kat Graham), who’d saved the day, was finally ready to live again — she set out to travel the world.

Years later, after their deaths, we saw Elena reunited with all the family members who’d gone before her, and Damon knock on Stefan’s door with a “Hello, brother.”

The legion of Vampire Diaries fans were exhilarated and heartbroken at the same time. And, of course, they had strong opinions about the characters’ fates. Here are some of the best reactions:
