The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Finale / Season 4 Predictions

 I watched Damon's moment of agony when he realized Elena died like 100 times. I have never seen a face more pained and tortured than that one. Ian Somerhalder is so much more than a pretty face. I can't say the same for Paul Wesley.

You did meet her first, darling Damon.

1. Fact: Dalena is ENDGAME.

Is it possible to have 2 soulmates? I believe so. No matter how much Elena struggled with her feelings for Damon, I knew she would always choose Stephan. Her love for Stephan is pure and unconditional. No matter what awful things he did in the past, Elena will always see the man who saved her when she almost drowned. She will always love Stephan. It's always going to be Stephan. However, the page of her story has now turned. She is dead. The Elena who will always love Stephan is now gone. 

Back then, when Stephan saved her from the car accident, Stephan and Elena formed a connection. He will always be the person who saved her, which is why Elena could never let him go, even if he was going apeshit with Klaus along the East Coast. Stephan saved Elena. That was something she could never get over.

But at the end of season 3, the second time around, it was Damon's blood which saved Elena from eternal death. And what is truly poetic about it all, was that it was Elena who saved Damon too from almost certain death from Alaric. They saved each other. I don't know how clear it can possibly be. TVD writers are paving the way for a Dalena endgame ending. Sure, Elena rejected Damon. Sure, she picked Stephan over Damon. But this is all for the sake of story-telling. Because in the end, she will most certainly pick Damon. The writers have made it very clear that as much as Stephan and Elena are meant for each other in her human life, so is Damon and Elena are for each other in her undead life. 

So as her feelings for Damon grows in S4, I believe this will cause Katherine and Stephan to draw closer together.

2. Bonnie is on her way to becoming a dark witch.

Bonnie has come a long way from back in the days when simply opening/closing the tomb put her in a life/death situation. Now, she does whatever the fuck she wants and it happens. I call her the "unicorn" character of a show. These characters will always be safe from death because they make the random shit necessary for story-line continuation happen because the main characters don't have the capability. Such "unicorn" characters include: Bonnie, any hacker of a crime-solving show, Hermoine, Nolan (from Revenge),  the Pokedex. Anyway, the point is, Bonnie has done so much dark magic in the past season that I believe we will be seeing the repercussions in season 4. 

3. Matt, die.

This is not a prediction, but my greatest wish for this show. Let him be sacrificed, like many others before him, at the altar of Elena. He's so boring and useless and non-magical to be part of the Mystic Falls gang. He's a jerk. He broke up with Caroline because she became a vampire, and now all he does he hang out with vampires. Hypocrite much? 

4. Tyler will die.

Happy couples never last. Although Klaus has already taken over Tyler's body, I believe OEM Klaus will return. And when he does, I believe Tyler will die. Klaus simply isn't the type to let his romantic rival roam around. And he certainly doesn't have the decency to allow for fair competition of Caroline's heart. 

5. Everyone dies.

I'm sure I can predict the death of every character on the show, and even if it doesn't happen soon, I'm sure by the end of the series, I will eventually be right.
