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

CW did basically the same thing last year, but it's still funny to see the entire lineup renewed - especially shows like crazy ex-girlfriend and reign that do absolutely terrible in the ratings.

I think it would be a good decision to end TVD next year, I'm only mildly enjoying this season - I very much prefer and am way more invested in The Originals ( S3 has been awesome). I kept hearing all these rumors that Ian wanted to leave TVD after this season too, but either they worked something out or he's still leaving and they are keeping it quiet.

Not sure if this show could stay interesting if they lose the Damon character along with already losing Elena bc while I did like the build up to the Stefan/Caroline relationship - they aren't working for me as a main couple. In fact, since they've gotten together it's like all their chemistry disappeared, I haven't the faintest idea what happened there. ( I get that once a couple gets together, it's natural that chemistry tones down a bit, but these two went from interesting to dullsville fairly quickly :/ )

edit: ok for some reason my comment originally posted to another comment on this post, no idea what happened there. lol

Interesting, I haven't heard those rumours, but Ian and Paul both always seem very over it in conventions, so I remember being surprised that Nina was ultimately the cast-member revealed to be leaving. Paul did say something about getting the chance to direct being an added incentive though, and presumedly Ian feels the same way? I can't see the show continuing without Damon, he's always been the show's main draw

And I know exactly what you mean, it's disappointing because the build-up to Steroline was beautifully done and I loved their first kiss, but they really have fallen flat this year. Maybe it's partly because of Caroline being pregnant for so much of the year, so it's hard to portray them as particularly passionate together? It's disappointing though because I was defending them from all the claims last year of them lacking romantic chemistry, but this year eh I have to admit that there's something missing
