The Vampire Diaries PilotRevisited

Between her appearances on TVD and The Originals, Dobrevhas assumed four (very) different roles, ranging fromTatia the ancient, exotic village lady trapped in a hopeless triangle with two brothers to Elena, a human-turned-vampire-turned-human also trapped in a hopeless love triangle with two brothers. (OK, I guess someaspectsof her characters remained consistent.)

In celebration/denial of the shows upcoming series finale airing Friday at 9/8c on The CW were playing favorites, ranking Dobrevs doppelgngers from Amarato best:

4. AMARA|It might seem a little unfair dumping Amara in the No. 4 slot, considering our time with her was so limited and when we did see her, she was either screaming, back-stabbingor begging for her life but Im sticking by it. Did Qetsiyahgo a little too far by faking Amaras death, then anchoring her immortal body to the Other Side, forcing her to experience literally every death for the next 2,000 years? Of course she did but not enough to bump Amara up to No. 3. (Sorry, girl. Thanks for giving us all the doppelgngers, though!)

3. TATIA | You want to talk about building hype for a character? Try hinting atherexistence in Season 2ofThe Vampire Diaries(2011), then waiting until Season 2 ofThe Originals (2014)to finally introduce her. By the time we met Tatia, she was dripping with rich, familiar history. A cautionary tale for all undeadbrothers, Klaus and Elijahs love for Tatia whose blood was used in the spell that turned themintovampires is what led to their initial estrangement. (Too bad they cant blame her on all of theirsubsequentestrangements.)

2.ELENA | Elena might be the most basic person onthis list if she had an Instagram, it would be all inspirational quotes and hot dog legs but shes also the most invaluable. Despite Stefan taking ownership of the story in the pilot, itwas through Elenaseyes that we entered this crazy world of vampires, witches, werewolves and, of course, doppelgngers. She also got to live out every viewers fantasies, first by bagging bothStefan and Damon (and Matt), then by getting to see what life would be like as a vampire before quickly curing herself and returning to normal.Like Hanna Montana before her, Elena got to experience the best of both worlds. If you hate her, its only cause you aint her.

1. KATHERINE |Seriously, who elsedid you think Id put on top of this list?Like the worlds sexiest cockroach, Katherine Pierce has proven herself to be equal partsdevious and indestructible. When Klaus planned to sacrifice her in the 15th century, she had Rose turn her into a vampire; when she was turned back into a human and her body began deteriorating, she had her spirit secretly transferred into Elena; and when shewas finally defeated and sent to hell, she took over as its damnqueen. Frankly, Im curious to see how shes dealt with in Fridays series finale because youknowshes not going (back) down without a fight.
