Cami’s death was meaningless and avoidable
We were told to hang in there and see how the story played out, because Cami’s death would have purpose…yet the season is over and it’s even more idiotic than it was before.
If Cami’s death was to showcase that the bite is deadly and there’s no cure, it was literally overkill. We already had (the episode before) Finn dying from the very same thing. The family already lost someone they loved, and the bite killing an original is much more terrifying than killing a newbie vamp. Adding Cami’s death in was just excessive and there for shock value. Nothing more.
I have not watched the finale, but I did see a clip of the end, and it made me even more irritated. Freya suddenly remembers she can put them all in a sleep until they find a cure, but conveniently forgot it when they had hours sitting around brainstorming on how to save Cami’s life.
And now as they’re all sleeping, finding the cure is now in Hayley’s hands.Can someone explain to me why Cami couldn’t be with Hayley? They had been establishing a dynamic between the two where Hayley was mentoring Cami, meanwhile Cami was using her intelligence and dark objects to protect herself. Hayley was brawns, Cami was brains. This was a perfect team, and this would have developed a strong female friendship that this show so clearly lacks.
It’s just so frustrating to see Cami’s character discarded when everything she was fit so perfectly into the search for a cure storyline. She had the brains, she the means, she had the motive, and she had the friendship with Hayley. The story practically writes itself but the writers said, “fuck it, we need to kill a chick so people will be surprised. Even better if Klaus can have one single tear running down his cheek!”
It’s lazy, unimaginative storytelling, and the forced shock value makes me feel like they have no idea what they’re doing.
