This is the only TVD episode I've ever felt cheated enough to award a rating this low. I've honestly no clue how it managed earn an 81% approval rating.
Not only was it random and all over the place for the most part, but they somehow managed to utterly destroy a perfectly well thought-out, well executed redemption arc for Katherine.
This is
After 1x7 Bloodletting and 1x8 The River in Reverse
Before 1x12 Dance Back from the Grave
(The Originals)
This is the 100th episode special, and there are things that I like, but it always makes me so mad.
Something I just found mildly annoying but makes no difference When Nadia buries Matt, they worry that he's without the ring, but it wouldn't make any difference since it wasn't a direct kill, like the hunter on the island.
Then with a guest appearance Klaus tells Caroline that he is there only to gloat, but it's hard to believe that after everything, (especially after I started watching The Originals) he just doesn't care about doing anymore hybrids, seeing as Katherine is a human doppelganger now. This could of easily fixed it just by mentioning that he figured out that the blood with the cure wouldn't work, or just him telling Care that he would even give that up for her, actually sacrificing more that just gloating.
More importantly, I refuse to believe that after everything everyone has been through with katherine, knowing how conniving, dangerous and jealous of elena she is, and how protective they are, they would ALL just leave elena alone with her, not even listening from afar to make sure. Also, that Elena knowing everyone close is downstairs, would just pick up the phone with out looking at who's calling, but that at least you can think it's because she's desoriented
And finally, the thing that really makes me angry is that Bonnie is the anchor to the other side, how the hell would she not notice that Katherine didn't die, especially since she saw her moments before. And I don't know if this counts as a spoiler for the next ep, cause it's from the same thing and you find out in the beggining but at first after thinking it a bit, I was like hey, maybe next ep she brings it up or something, but NO! nothing is said about that
Anyway, rant over hahaha

Still don’t get why they didn’t just let Katherine actually die and let the show end here. Everyone showed up at the end, klaroline finally got together, and not too many loose ends or anything too cliffhanger-y to be annoying/left unanswered. I digress tho more drama in the end, especially when you know what happens to katherine in the later seasons lol
