Vampire Diaries Katherine Dies

‘The Vampire Diaries’: Getting Rid Of Katherine Was A Necessary Evil

After centuries of causing unthinkable pain all over the world — from Mystic Falls to the Ukraine and back — Katherine Pierce is dead. Buried. Gone. And while we’ll miss her as she rots away in Hell, her death was a necessary move for the show.
I hate to say it, but The Vampire Diaries has been… shaky… this season. It’s understandable since they’re pretty far along at Season 5, but the same ol’ Damon (Ian Somerhalder)/Elena (Nina Dobrev)/Katherine (also Nina Dobrev)/Stefan (Paul Wesley) love quadrangle drama was beginning to feel repetitive. Therefore, getting rid of a quarter of that quadrangle was an excellent idea.
