Silas (Paul Wesley) is running around as is if he’s Stefan. Katherine (Nina Dobrev) is human. Elena (also played by Dobrev) and Caroline (Candice Accola) are off to college. There’s quite a bit to look forward to when the gang from Mystic Falls returns. Here’s my wish list for Season 5 of “The Vampire Diaries”:

No. 1—Super Silas

We know that Silas is supposed to be the beast of the series, but besides making people see what he wants them to see what exactly has he done? Hopefully this season we get to see more of Silas’ powers. Obviously we want Damon (Ian Somerhalder)—and maybe Stefan?—to beat him. But can we see what cool things he can do first?

No. 2—Enough of Tyler and Caroline

In an interview with WetPaint.com, Caroline Dries and Julie Plec said Tyler (Michael Trevino) would make a dramatic entrance back to the show. While I like Tyler and am glad he’s coming back, It would be very nice to see him and Caroline come to an end. The best possible outcome would be a Caroline and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) reunion. However, if that doesn’t happen, it would still be much appreciated to see her with someone else.

No. 3—Matt Chips in

Matt (Zach Roerig) is still human—and it should stay that way—but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to see him take down a supernatural being or two in the fifth season. He’s gotten some training in vampire hunting. Why not use it? And I know you usually only get three wishes so I’ll call this one 3B—it would be cool to see Matt get another vampire girlfriend. It suits him.

 Season 5 of the Vampire Diaries premieres Oct. 3, 8/7c on The CW.
