Okay I tried to post a link to the article "The CW Renews ALL 11 Series For Next Season, Including Veterans ‘Supernatural’ & ‘The Vampire Diaries’", but I kept being told that deadline is 'banned for spam' for some reason?

But anyway, awesome news! I was starting to worry about iZombie as so many people seemed convinced that the ratings were pretty terrible and it was at risk, so I'm pleasantly surprised that we're getting a third season. And I'm still here for The Vampire Diaries of course! Although I do hope that we will get confirmation on whether the 8th season is going to be the last or not, I'm not sure that it needs a 9th or 10th season, but I definitely wouldn't have been ready to let it go after this season when there's been no real build-up to it being the end

It feels strange that I only watch two CW shows these days actually, I used to watch four or five of their shows, but I'm not as into the superhero shows that they've been focusing on lately I suppose. Lol I know I'm too old for them these days, but I can't help wishing that they would bring back at least one high school focused teen show to their schedule, the WB and CW used to be known for those shows after all! Still I suppose that you can't really blame them for sticking with the male demo instead, those shows do seem to do a lot better for them ratings-wise

My only problem with TVD is that I really miss it being focused on women now that Elena's no longer on the show. Though I always wanted it to be more about Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie's friendship than I think it ever was.

The Originals continues to do well at having the women having relationships outside of the men, like with Cami and Hayley lately.

I know what you mean, I am really invested in the Stefan/Damon brotherly relationship and am happy that it's getting focus, but there's definitely something missing now that Elena is gone. It feels like the show has shifted, that Stefan and Damon are very much the emotional focus now and the centre of the show, whereas before Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, Tyler, Jeremy as the core group of high school friends from Mystic Falls were also something that the show was centred around. And now the human connection isn't really there as much, Bonnie and Caroline's characters are more about how they connect with the lives of Damon and Stefan
