There's been a whole 'everyone can come back from the dead if they click their heels together really hard' thing going on for some time in TVD, but the storyline around this finale was designed to undermine that. It will certainly be irritating if they bring them back after *that* episode.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

I am with -t. I thought Bonnie was dead already! But I can't imagine they would actually get rid of Damon, because he is so popular (unless the actors couldn't work together because they broke up).

They did the deaths in such a way that a lot of people will be deeply pissed off at the emotional manipulation if they bring them back. They've also written themselves into a corner where it will be very hard to do. But they've been renewed, so we'll see what they do!

Jesus - I just re-watched the last Orphan Black and that scene in Rachel's apartment just keeps putting me through the wringer. It goes from bad, to worst, to I didn't-expect-that-touching in such a short period of time that I still reel watching it.
I reran it a few times from the start of Daniel coming at Sarah in the shower on and it just WORKS. SO. WELL. The fact that they made both me and (I get the impression) Sarah sympathetic to Helena just astonishes me.

Dang, Grimm. That is a lot of stuff happening.
At least Monroe and Rosalee managed to get wed before all broke loose (or the hell breaking loose got to the wedding, anyway).

Orphan Black - Sarah really should have left Helena with Felix instead of having Felix leave her with Art because it would have solved a myriad of problems.
OMG this show!!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was not prepared to see the actor who plays Felix talking in his own voice.

Isn't that weird? Especially in the middle of an episode like that.

IDK, I think that would have created different problems, mostly.
I'm getting a little suspicious of Cal, although I don't know have any idea what I suspect. Just, something is off with him. Although Keira would probably know, so maybe he's actually okay.

Yeah, but idea of Paul unexpectedly having to deal with Helena just gives me the tinglies. NOTHING he's about would get through to her.
