Season Four should’ve been the ending.

With the big build up of Silas throughout the fourth season, I believe it should’ve been the ending to the show or at-least play a big part in an explosive way next season instead of Silas just being a “doppelgänger” of sorts. The twist in the season finale was a “wtf” but the execution felt like Paul Wesley just wanted to do something fun for once nothing with any impact.

Season Four was the last season that had major impact on anything.
