The Vampire Diaries Season 6

I am not reviewing the content except to say that I love The Vampire Diaries.

A friend wanted the series on Blu-ray and was missing certain sets so I went about getting it for her, and got a set for myself as well. With Season Six, there is a case issue. Not all cases will be broken but I ended up buying four of this, three from sellers here and one at Best Buy in person, all four cases were broken. The plastic was noticeably thinner than the plastic for the mega-sets on Seasons Three, Four and Five but also different from the plastic on One and Two, so that may be the reason. A weaker, thinner case for only a few discs, as compared to the odd sets they made for the sets of Blu-rays combined with DVDs, would explain such breakage and eco measures to thin out the plastic, thereby using less of it to make each case, would appear to explain the difference from the early sets. Seasons Seven and Eight were fine, thicker plastic. I ended up returning all but the used one I bought for myself and then got her a gift card to get herself this season, so she could decide how to handle it.

As for how to deal with it, they sell individual cases for these sets all over the place so, I’ll get to the point finally, if you are buying this and get a broken case that is not too terrible, just keep it as many are broken and some are just terribly cracked and chipped and basically falling apart. What you exchange it for will likely be worse, on Season Six only. If you get a really bad one, you can exchange or return for a slightly damaged case or the elusive intact case, you can opt to buy a replacement case for five dollars or so, from a random vendor, or of course you have the option to just deal with that case.

Essentially, this review is a warning that if you are purchasing this particular season as a gift, on the clock as it were, then you should leave enough time to exchange it or to purchase a replacement case before you need to to pass it on to the recipient. Again, this is an isolated issue with the Season Six set of The Vampire Diaries on Blu-ray. All other seasons appear to be made of slightly thicker plastic. Good luck finding what is right for you and, in case you are just reading reviews to decide on whether to get this, like all of The Vampire Diaries, it is a wild, fun and dramatic ride that is absolutely worth taking, if you love vampire stories and lots of beautiful men kissing lots of beautiful women. Enjoy.

I love the vampire diaries.since I love the series so much, I’d watch every second no matter how good or bad it may be. While I have enjoyed this season there were things I didn’t like and stuff I immensely enjoyed. I own every season the vampire diaries. I watched the entire first season on tv and I will continue watching it. I have always enjoyed Ninas portrayal of Elena so very much and was crushed when it was first announced she would be leaving. I don’t think the series will be what it was before but the cast is so amazing I have great hopes for the season.

At this moment, I have not gotten to watch all the special features but what I have seen are great. I always enjoy the gag reel. Get to see them mess up lines when they are always spot on in the show. Being a fan of the vampire diaries, this is quite must have. Certainly if you have the other seasons as well.

This is my favorite season by far and my favorite girl Caroline’s whole story this season is epic. I’ve always hated Tyler but he actually had an interesting part this season. Love all the new characters and how the witches have bigger rolls now. I don’t want to ruin anything or write a huge long review but trust me, this season won’t disappoint.
