My thoughts on common things the show has been hated for:

“The main plots from book have now been replaced with political storylines which no-one asked for”

it’s clear here you did not read the books because Lissas entire plot is her growing into her political power and taking a seat at the table, speaking against injustice and against the crazy policies from extreme royals. Rose consistently explains the political context of what’s going on in the books and especially points about the commodification of dhampir women. This is all in the books AND NOW represented in the show. Don’t know what you mean about main plots because I see a lot of book plots being set up to play out through out the season. Main plot IS Dimitri training Rose to adequately protect Lissa when they graduate. That is EXACTLY what the show is about. if you watch longer than 5 minutes before throwing a fit you would see that. Each episode continues the story in an accurate compelling way, and the developing of characters and relationships begins to show. Most shows have 22 episodes and 10 seasons to see everything. we’ve been given four, of the very beginning, obviously not EVERY SINGLE little thing will be represented yet nor would a word for word adaptation make sense or be interesting because that first book has BEEN done already. But those general elements for the plots and characters are present.

“origins of mythology is gone”

This was NEVER represented in the books, in the sense that everywhere Richelle drew inspiration from wasn’t throughly explained and context for WHY each vampire is who they are. The intro DOES explain the lore for this specific story and weaves bits through dialogue. Don’t know why it was expected to do a deep dive to where certain things come from because that was never the books strigoi were strigoi, moroi were moroi, if you want that it’s interviews and discussions with the author in her inspirations not the show.

“romanian and russian backgrounds of most of the characters”

no one dug their feet in on this until the cast wasn’t fully white, characters were never stated to for sure NOT have these backgrounds. Representation is important and there is still time for this to be seen and represented. Like Dimitri still being from Russia but ppl constantly hated assuming he had no link at all and roza/comrade was gone (it’s not if u haven’t given the show a chance yet). I know this is important to people and don’t want to disregard anyone but using it to hate the show when the movie didn’t explore it that much either let alone the books that mentioned moroi ancestors being from there every once in a while which again could be mentioned in the show.

“Stunts are unrealistic”

they aren’t meant to be it’s a fantasy show with vampire hybrids who are LITERALLY build different to fight vampire monsters

“Outfits are all over the place”

ROYALS wear designer clothing and attend balls and ceremonies.

Non Royals try dressing up for these events but dress “normal”

Dhampirs dress in athletic clothing for training, all black uniforms for various events, and “normal” outfits.

The book discusses Rose dressed more practical as she began taking her training more serious, and the moroi esp royals would be in designer dresses and outfits, non royals wanting to imitate that on a budget which is exactly what’s is represented.

It’s clear the lack of understanding of how television works, we as book readers would LOVE to see every single last word played out EXACTLY how it was in the books but it’s not possible storytelling wise when creating a hit show that lasts and gains viewership. Some things and characters were changed because in the long run it will all come together and make sense both to book plots and the whole story the show is telling. If you weren’t so hellbent on hating this show you would see just how much Sisi, Daniela, and the whole cast play these characters so well, and what is being set up for the season and later seasons. The intention is to have all the books represented across many seasons and to even have bloodlines adapted. but it’s OUR support that will allow that to happen. So tired of the same ridiculous comments most of which stem from racism towards the cast and it’s unacceptable. Having a different/negative opinion is fine but hating and dragging the show down because you can’t open your eyes to what’s on the screen and making comments that are just false or hateful isn’t okay. I’d understand saying that you can’t enjoy this because the books aren’t playing out in the order you expected or wanted, or a character you liked was missing but saying the entire things is the absolute worst because natalie and aaron, the two most important VA characters are gone. natalie is in sonya and mia, a change, but one that connects these characters for many seasons provided direct links to each other to keep them in the show universe, not being gone for a season or two and coming back because a link between one random character to another small character back to another character do you see what I mean? anyways. I’m a virgo mercury and hate seeing things posted that are easily explainable and tear the show down because the cast doesn’t deserve that. Also yes Richelle does love it she doesn’t have to post or be on podcasts talking about how she appreciates the changes, ships victor and robert, loves seeing the show but she does!

"This Romitri scene" meaning there is more than one? What the hell is THAT thing? Who's writing a letter? A goodbye letter? Is Rose writing it to Dimitri or vice versa? What's on Dimitri's neck? So many questions. These last 2 episodes are going to completely wreck me. Also heard there is going to be a shocking death too. Preparing for it.

Update: There was only one (but it was quality), I'm guessing it was Andre, It was supposed to be for Lissa, but she ended up going to see her instead, I knew it was a version of an ankle monitor.

victor marrying robert, adopting sonya and becoming lissa's guardian like he's collecting pokemon

[vasilissadragomir]

something underdiscussed about mia’s storyline is how she’s supposed to be a combo of mia rinaldi and natalie dashkov. she’s victor’s daughter and sonya’s sister, so she has a different understanding of lissa and even rose than book mia did. she was who lissa first used compulsion on, and she saw lissa heal dean in ep 5. she also knows about spirit because of sonya, so she would recognize lissa’s abilities in the way natalie did.

considering her father is dying, her sister is about to/will go over the edge, and her developing relationship with meredith, her priorities of being a royal are going out the window. it’s likely the natalie side of mia will come out when things reach a head with victor and sonya. i doubt they’ll make both karp girls turn strigoi, especially since mia karp is a lot more level-headed (and less desperate for victor’s attention) than natalie. however, i’ll be watching mia and her actions closely throughout the next five episodes. something tells me she’ll be the catalyst for when everything goes wrong leading up to the finale.

It's 2022 and I'm here rooting for Victor Dashkov.

Vampire Academy 1x10 (Finale) Thoughts & Opinions

I have very much enjoyed this season and I'm going to miss doing these reviews.

First off, this cast is so amazing, the performances were absolutely everything

It was a satisfying conclusion to the season for me

Good thing the only characters I'm seriously attached to are Rose and Dimitri, still love pretty much everyone though

This is the exact reason why Moroi should be trained to use their powers for defense, without the Dhampirs they're all just sitting ducks

Romitri bantering in the secret tunnel scene is pure gold, these two idiots are on a stealth mission to seek out any strigoi and they start yelling five minutes into it was absolutely hilarious, I'll do a separate one just for them bc they have officially ruined my sanity

Jesse and Silver getting that much screentime wasn't necessary, just saying...

There wasn't enough Rose in my opinion

Loved how Janine embraced Rose, and as her child as well, not as a Guardian

Mermia lives! The height difference!

Rose's Father?!? Abe?

At least Lissa had one last moment with Andre before THAT happened, Daniela acted her butt off

The Hathozera hug! Besties!

Tatiana isn't even a Moroi (Never even saw her fangs), should've known better, I knew that she was going to weasel her way onto the throne on way or another

The cliffhangers: Strigoi Andre, Tatiana becoming Queen, Mason, Alberta

On the Deaths (some of them, good riddance): Dane Zeklos, members of the council, Queen Marina

I love that all the ships are completely different
