Olga Fonda

[RavenGlamDVDCollector · 8/10 · 29 February 2020]

I've just come off Nadia's death scene and it was so well filmed it brought to mind the absolute-worst experience in this genre, Winifred in ANGEL. I'm still kinda weepy. I've always liked Olga Fonda, and while I'm glad to see the producers cleaning up house as the season draws towards the two-thirds mark - good riddance to failed character Wes, the cardboard evil mad scientist - it is a shame that Nadia goes the same way. I do not check up ahead, even now Ive still got five minutes to go, and in this kind of story death isn't final, recently #100 brought a string of deceased characters as guest-stars, so who knows? But Olga Fonda was the only good addition to the cast during Season 5. During which I've frequently yelled at the screen "You know what you can do with the crappy Augustine vampire story arc!" (not my exact words, kinda unprintable here) Only one person kept Season Five afloat... Katherine Pierce.

Anyway, if you haven't watched this yet, Fonda fans, bring a handkerchief...

Katherine's end

[jackDee-56565 · 9/10 · 23 August 2021]

Katherine's "Final" episode is a memorable and emotional episode filled with great moments, the drama was a bit annoying but needed for the characters development.

The best the season had to offer.

Let's just get this out of the way, shall we? The show became trash since Kevin Williamson stopped supervising the writing. Wether it was good or bad trash, it was still trash anyway. As much as I hate season 4, for its lack of rigor, season 5 is a close second, because I just can't stand Elena with Damon. On the other hand, the show got so bad, it isn't good enough to have Elena with Stefan in it anymore. So whichever way you put it, viewers like me will be let down and feel cheated by the « social medias talk » dialogues, messy mythology and disrespect to rules established since the beginning of the series. « Gone Girl » is obviously of the exception. It is a well-crafted episode, that gave the Katherine character her memorable exit. I'm not talking about other things, like Damon whining and Caroline not seeing the wrong in sleeping with the man who murdered her ex boyfriend's mother, because it would ruin the fun. But this last minute twist, was a very crafty way to both give Katherine one last chance at torturing Elena, and viewers a reason to tune in next week. And the song they picked during her farewells to the band, was very fitting to the situation... So even though I still give it the average rating, because it's nevertheless part of one of the worst seasons of TVD, you know the thought was there.

Goodbye Katherine - For Real

[vivianla · 27 November 2022]

Stefan and Caroline tell the others about their suspicions that Katherine is a Passenger in Elena's body. Damon is shocked and regrets what he did in reaction to Katherine. He killed Aaron, almost killed Jeremy, and wanted to kill Wes.

Katherine and Nadia sit for some dinner when Nadia shows Katherine the hybrid bite she got. She will die soon. Katherine takes her to a church and gets Wes to help make an antidote.

Damon gets Tyler angry and gets him into the cell where he bites him. With the extra energy from the blood he escapes from the cell to kill Wes. At the lab Damon plays doctor on Wes and Katherine finds him on the table later, dead.

Stefan calls and tells Katherine he has Nadia at his place. She can come back to say bye for the last time or keep running. Katherine comes back and Nadia passes. She passes through Bonnie who is the anchor. Katherine says her last words to everyone and then Stefan stabs her with the traveller's knife.

Katherine appears dead in front of Bonnie at church where she tells Bonnie she found out through the recordings that Wes was never going to help. She laughs at the place they are in - a church where Bonnie is praying to her dad - saying for the last hundreds of years she hasn't found evidence of a higher power. She finds the drug that Wes created which makes a vampire crave other supernaturals and injects herself with it. She says if she cannot have Stefan, no one can. She tries to pass through Bonnie but cannot. Katherine is windswept down the church.
