5 Just About Everybody On The Vampire Diaries
For a show that’s essentially a teen relationships drama filled with pretty youngsters pouting prettily and falling in love in pretty ways, there’s a whole lot of distinctly un-pretty maiming and killing on The Vampire Diaries .
The problem is, while some characters do indeed die and don’t come back (although after the latest season finale we’re not sure about that…), far too many others meet their maker and then sit up again without so much as a headache.
The reason? Magic rings. Kill anyone human on this show and chances are the ring on their finger will heal them before you can say “deus ex machina”. Which means a death on VD isn’t really that moving at all – it’s been done so many times it’s about as emotional as watching the character wander off to make a peanut butter sandwich.
Here’s an example if you fancy a look (opens in new tab) , complete with compulsory Elena/Damon angsting and whiny emo track playing in the background.
As annoying as they are on the show, though, we do wish we had one of those rings. Although as they only work when you die a supernaturally-influenced death, maybe they’d be a waste of time. Also? They’re pig-ugly.
