Will Bonnie go Bad or Bad-Ass?

Throughout the six seasons of The Vampire Diaries we have seen a lot of our beloved characters go through some really terrible traumatic events, but of all the victims in Mystic Falls Bonnie Bennett had to be the most afflicted. Somehow, Bonnie always seems to be coming of the worst and it usually ends in her death... Again.

From offering as a bargaining chip for another life, to having it took from her by the laws of the universe, Bonnie Bennet's stream of bad luck didn't end there. At the end of season five we thought we were saying a tearful goodbye to the witch as she was claimed by an over powering light. But oh no. Bonnie, actually die? No, of course not. Instead she was subject to torture and became the play thing of a psychopathic witchy-wanna be from the Gemini coven. Although born a witch Kai the psycho guy, could not wield his own magic and had to harvest magic from another source- and who else was better than good old Bonnie.

Hoever more recently we seen her return to Mystic Falls, and good old loving Bonnie just doesn't seem the same. And her calm collective personality has been shown to crack! The psychological scars of her time in the 1994 prison world has shown to have caused serious damage to her. Bonnie was always known for her moral attitudes, actions and beliefs and as much as I hate to admit often a little bit of a martyr. But that isn't the case anymore. As we seen recently Bonnie stabbed Kai Parker, her tormenter and torturer, several times and left him to bleed out in 1904 and second prison world created by the Gemini Coven. Although many may believe that Kai deserved this betrayal, we recently seen him gain human empathy and emotions and actually seek out penance for his actions prior to absorbing elements of Luke's personality- again I do not want to talk about that, I wasn't okay with how that went down...

Wit Kai trying always for forgiveness since gaining these emotions Bonnie was not phased by this change in him and sought only revenge. She could not give him her forgiveness and left him to die in 1904. Little does Bonnie know that Kai found his way to the vampiric family of Lily Salvatore left behind in the 1904 prison world, whom we have just found are VAMPIRE WITCHES.

Like Kai, unable to use magic without a source, now as vampires they have an unlimited source of power by channeling themselves. And as we last saw Kai was being, for lack of a better word, 'eaten' by them. I'm presuming, as the seasons almost big bad, that Kai will become vampiric and seek revenge on the morally ambiguous Bonnie Bennet. But hey, if not, she's still going to have to deal with a group of super-vampires.

Having seen this darker part of Bonnie it is possible that if her psychologic issues are not established and treat her mental state may decline and her actions may cascade from this point on. And using stabbing someone to death as a starting point, it could get pretty nasty, pretty quickly. Leaving Kai showed us the moral battle raging within Bonnie and that ultimately the darker part of her psyche won. Seasons ago we seen bonnie using dark magic and slowly becoming a dark character- could this be coming full circle?

Putting herself at ease believing that Kai is forever imprisoned in the 1904 prison world Bonnie has murdered a potentially innocent being- now that Kai has emotions he may not have done such actions if he had them to begin with. However now Bonnie will either become a one track mind in regards to what is right and what is wrong or snowball into a revenge seeking Uber-Witch. With the season focusing on just how psychologically tormenting her experience has been I firmly believe that Bonnie Bennet will no longer be the girl we've known and loved for six seasons but a violent and powerful being fuelled from her pain.

I just hope she gets through it.

But if Kai does come back, or at least when the outcasts of the Gemini coven do, I think this new Bonnie could defiantly give them a run for their money. I suppose we will just have to wait and find out!

Goodbye Elena: Nina Dobrev officially leaving The Vampire Diaries

It's official! And from the horses mouth too! Nina Dobrev has announced that season six, the current running season, of The CW hit television show, The Vampire Diaries will continue without her. The show was given the green light for season seven earlier in the season and it seems the series is going all steam ahed without the beautiful Dobrev.

Mere hours ago Dobrev posted a picture of herself along with executive producer, Julie Plec, on Instagram stating:

"I've just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell you it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party. I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be a human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger, I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and theres still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family."

Rumours have spread like wildfire through the internet this morning with different interpretations at to what this news means to The Vampire Diaries, however the only facts that we have at the moment is that Dobrev is leaving, Micheal Trevino, who plays Mystic Falls' beloved and hottest werewolf Tyler Lockwood, will be leaving with his co-star. Finally, that Plec will change the focus of the show from Elena, to the Salvatore siblings.

It feels like that moment when Sarah Michelle Gellar wouldn't renew Buffy for an eighth season all over again. Delena fans certainly won't be happy to hear this news.

Yet, now Julie Plec, the series' writer and executive producer can steer the show in any direction she feels necessary. This could potentially open up thousands of potential storylines, that may have been otherwise dismissed. It's really quite exciting!

Nina Dobrev has given the successful supernatural show six strong years, having played an abundance of characters, died several times, become a vampire, lost her humanity, found it again, burnt down her house, and seen far too many people she cared about die. Elena clearly deserves a break from Mystic Falls' run of supernatural bad luck and I'm sure Dobrev could do with a few weeks off after all that!

In less than twenty four hours we've lost two of the hottest stars and characters from The Vampire Diaries. So with that we wait for the season six finale to hit in May, and wish both Nina Dobrev and Micheal Trevino farewell. 

Who will come to Starling City? - Arrow Season 3 Spoilers

Having the fast paced, storyline of season 2 finally come to an end we saw Oliver Queen and Starling City's other heroes (and villains) rise up to take down Deathstroke and his army of super-powered troops. After such a climatic season we can only imagine what will come next to be able to match the hype that was built around season 2 of Arrow.

Yet with only a matter of weeks before the third season of Arrow kicks off it seems that we have been given so much information on whats in store for the season, who will come into the show and which iconic DC heroes and villains we are likely to encounter fans are thrilled and overwhelmed with juicy gossip and information. Therefore this post allows us to look at all of the information we have been given from  the powers that be at The CW and allow fans to gain a further insight into some of the characters, themes and ideas that will be apparent through season 3 of Arrow.

The Flash Extended trailer has 'zoomed' to our screens - and its awesome!

The arrow spinoff show The Flash, (portrayed by the painfully attractive Grant Gustin) has been teased at us for months now, with characters from The Flash appearing in Arrow over the course of the last two months of the second season , and having the marketing materials slowly drip fed to us. The powers that be at The CW have gave us an extended trailer. Portraying what is to come in the pilot episode and the overall season, and showing us what to expect from Barry Allen: The Flash.

The trailer implies that the night Barry Allen got his powers, he may not have been the only one. The teaser shows us his team and a mysterious man whom seeks to  recruit Barry and his team from, Star Lab, in order to search for other 'Meta-Humans' like himself. We see the death of his mother and the a first glimpse at The Flash's arch nemesis Zoom aka 'The Reverse Flash', who just happened to be the one who murdered Barry's mother. Honestly, theres just so much in this trailer (probably due to the five minute length)- but seriously, if you didn't want Arrow give this a watch and you'll be right up to 'speed'. And if you did, give it a watch anyway! It's worth it!

Oh and he casually woke up with a six pack... Now that's just not fair.

The Flash is set to air this fall on The CW.

The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Finale

For five years we have seen extraordinary characters live, suffer and die in Mystic Falls however never before had we seem so many popular characters really meet the end. The town of mystic falls is famous for the dead being- well not so dead. For five years within the Vampire Diaries universe death never truly meant the end, however after the season 5 finale that all ended. Along with the other side and some of our favourite characters from The Vampire Diaries. Below I will deconstruct the main events of the apocalyptic finale.

Romance, Death & Rising Heroes - Arrow Season 2 Finale

With the entire second season of Arrow leading up to the climatic finale tonight, I think it's fair to wonder what is actually going to go down in Starling City.

The Arrow's once ally, turned super powered enemy due to a mysterious empowering serum; The Mirikuru, Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) now has an army of similarly empowered beings ravaging Starling City, along with a twisted (and again super powered) Isabel Rochev. With all of his moves leading to this Starling City has become his chess board with all of our beloved heroes simply playing the role of pawns.

With Amanda Waller (Head of A.R.G.U.S) now involved and threatening to level the city, for the sake of innocent civillians all over the globe, it seems that the Arrow and his allies really can't win this one, can they?

With that in mind I will address the main things we're expecting- or hoping for (Olicity fans) in tonights finale.

New Promo Images released for CW's 'The Flash'

Having been verified and picked up by The CW the DC comics spinoff show The Flash is coming to us this autumn. Having build quite the buzz around the show through Arrow excitement and popularity keep increasing for the new show. And The CW have released this new image to continue creating that 'buzz' around the show.

Arrow has already given us glimpses into what to expect from the show from Barry Allen's awakening from his coma, to the Star Labs employees who are destined for great things on either side of the law; Justice League's Vibe and the seemingly innocent woman who is to become 'Ice Queen' herself...Killer Frost.

Personally I'm truly excited for the show due to two main reasons; The amazingly talented Grant Gustin and the second being Killer Frost. It's about time she had the screen time she's worth.

What do you guys think? Excited for the new show? Do you think any another heroes or villains are likely to crop up? We do know the Revers Flash is going to pop up and he is linked to Barry's mothers death, but will he be alone? Surely not! Feel free to comment, I would love to hear your thoughts on The Flash. And don't forget to subscribe!

The Penultimate Episode S5 TVD - Death of a Hero and Hope in a Psycho...

If you haven't seen the penultimate episode yet, I would advise you to look away or discontinue reading. This post includes the biggest spoiler in The Vampire Diaries history.

The penultimate episode that aired in the states last night was crazy! And I mean crazy! After a whole season based on the Doppelgangers and the people who want to kill them, never in the world did we expect to actually see one of them die. Until last night... Stefan Salvatore, the original love of Elena Gilbert's life was murdered at the end of last night's episode. Julian, the traveller inhabiting Tyler Lockwood's body ripped Stefan's heart out in front of the (just as shocked as us) Caroline Forbes.

With Stefan then shown to move on to the other side through the Anchor- Bonnie, Stefan truly died. But surely The Vampire Diaries can't kill Stefan off?! Is there a way for him to come back from the other side before its impending collapse. Or was this the only way to throw fans off the track and achieve that shock factor they were looking for-  having the rumours of Damon Salvatore's death in the final episodes of the season, already been read by thousands of fans across the globe. Was Stefan's death a change of plan to get the ratings up? Will this truly be the end for the 'good brother' Stefan. As much as I hate to admit it, the feeling I got from his 'moving on' scene was that it is the end of Stefan. Unfortunately this is reinforced by Paul Wesley's (Stefan Salvatore) tweet.

Hope can still be found within Mystic Falls, as if we've learnt anything over the past five years, it's that no one truly leaves Mystic Falls and its very rare that a character really dies. We've seen an abundance of characters come back from the dead so why not Stefan? If anyone deserves another go at life it's Stefan. Could this be the pathway for Stefan to come back as a human and be truly happy. After all resisting the urges of being 'a ripper' must get tiresome from time to time.

My last comment is that I believe Bonnie is the key to Stefan's resurrection. Not due to being the Anchor, but due to being a descendant of Qetsiyah- originally a traveller. Does this mean that some how Bonnie could access the archaic forms of 'Pure Magic'? We have yet to see the limits of traveller magic, and Bonnie's magic. She just needs to find away to get out of the sticky situation that is being the Anchor to the other side. Or could Qetsiyah herself somehow return to help the charming Salvatore brother? Ahhhh this show makes my brain hurt! Either way we all have our fingers crossed for Stefan's return, be that next week or next season.

Damon Salvatore Destined to Die?

With season five almost at a close rumours have began to spread about a certain vampire from Mystic Falls. The guy everyone loves to hate and hates to love: Damon Salvatore.

In a recent interview with E! Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) himself stated...

"When Damon dies, it is the dopest scene."

“The ending, I think, is really gonna throw people. It definitely involves Damon in a very cool way. There is some very very cool stuff with Damon, Elena, Bonnie…stuff you just didn’t see…It is definitely a cliffhanger."

Would The CW really kill off Damon Salvatore? Did Somerholder just give us the biggest spoiler in The Vampire Diaries history? Are we really ready to let the destructive Byronic Salvatore brother go? 

I have a feeling that this 'death' won't be what we expect. After all, if vampirism can be cured by the blood of the doppelgänger's maybe this is only the death of his vampiric Damon. Or maybe if Bonnie is involved- she loses the burden of being anchor and regains her magic, bringing Damon back from the dead? With Caroline Dries (the series' executive producer) and the team, we never can be sure what's actually going on and it's implications for Mystic Falls.

With only a few episodes left we'll find out soon enough...

All Hail 'The Queen'

Throughout this season of Arrow we have been shown the beautiful Isabel Rochev. Strong, independent and educated Isabel has now taken over the company Queen Consolodated much to our shock! The villainess ironically aims to raise the company from it's failing state by becoming its latest CEO, not only for the pay-rise but for the reputation of the deceased Robert Queen. The supposed love of her life. 

But this should not have been such a surprise as the Isabel Rochev, has been shown before in exactly the same way. Born in Serbia and catching the eye of CEO Robert Queen (Queen Consolodated), Isabel wanted more from life. Falling in love with our beloved heros father, she believed they were each others 'soul-mates' and destined to be together. The validity of this statement is unknown, however in the DC comics universe 'The Queen', as she is known  believes herself to be the true air of Queen Consolodated, having dedicated her life to breaking away from the class system to which she was enslaved, to rise from rags to riches educating herself to deserve the role and title of 'The Queen' of not only Robert Queen's life but his corporation too. 

In the comics we cannot be sure as to which motives and claims are true, but within the 'Arrow' universe we can presume there is more to this story than we know as of yet. Why? Because the go-getting, rank-rising business women's name was written in the book Robert Queen left his son in season 1. The book used as 'The Hood's hit list'.
