Bill I completely agree with you about everything u said about Damon this is why Elena cannot be with damon he killed Jeremy granted he didn't die bc of the ring but that doesn't matter!!! N when Elena got all bitchy with Tyler saying he couldn't be trusted and blah blah blah because of something he couldn't control I was just thinking u stupid hypocritical bitch! I honestly can't stand elena anymore she started out very strong and independent and wasn't going to wait around for a guy and now she's a self centered hypocrit who doesn't do anything but complain and whine and everyone just bends over backwards for her... One of the reasons I love Tyler so much is he's not in love with Elena! Caroline should be the main character of this show!

Forgot to add: the kissing scene is fantastic - beautifully acted, illuminated and cut. Perfectly done, and the music is 100% right.

I really liked the last episode, unlike those before... finally some real development, plot-like and character. I feel the triangle Damon/Elena/Stefan is really well handled and now openly burning for the first time in 3 seasons. For me it just feels right that Elena can`t make a decision yet - she is right to be concerned over Damon`s tendency to act out (even though he has himself much better under control now), and I get that there are still a lot of feelings for Stefan.
Rose`s speech in the car to Jeremy was cheesy, but felt organic for her - she was really close to Damon and got to see a lot of his good side in a short time. He did a lot for her while she was dying. I totally get why she has a sweet spot for him and by talking to Jeremy she really had a chance to help him. I get why she is rooting for him!

Damon the bad boy. He "kills" Elena's brother just to scare the crap out of her. He kills Stefan's best friend and mentor just to appear to the sheriff that he is a vampire hunter. He sleeps with women left and right, including Rebekah as he longs for Elena, and enjoys the fact that Elena finds out about it. He has killed about a dozen or so people, mostly women since he has been in Mystic Falls and not because anyone compelled him or anything an Original did to him. He was just hungry and liked making humans suffer. Now he is once again screwing his brother over by getting with Elena, after Stefan went through holy hell to save his life (bet he's about to regret doing that, big time). Yes, female Delena shippers,you really know how to pick'em. Damon may be a complete scumbag, but he looks great with his shirt off and has that killer smirk. Now if he just slapped Elena around now and then just to keep her in line, he would be the perfect boyfriend, right?
she'll choose no one just like every loser does.
How is that "loser thing to do"?
EVERY competent and independent female should and WILL place herself above the male romances or submission. Thats something ELENA failed to do REPEATEDLY for 66 episodes. She is defined by her relationship she does not have her own personality she is not independent, nor interesting.

I keep seeing these comments about how older looking Stefan is compared to Damon. I find that kind of strange, given that Ian Somrhalder is 33 and Paul Wesley is only 29. Nina Dobrev is the "baby" of the love triangle. She turned 23 last January.

First of all let me say how much I love reading your reviews...they crack me up! I loved the episode however and I think I have rewound the Damon and Elena scenes about 20xs so far. I'm sure us Delena fans won't get what we've waited for for so long now....she'll choose no one just like every loser does. But the twist w/Esther now taking over Rebekka's body..that was awesome! And I'd still love to see a Caroline and Klaus hook up...it always takes a woman to soften even the baddest of boys!

I personally did get aggravated by both couples' problems last night as well! Give me a break! Especially where Christine & Taylor are concerned. Couldn't they just be happy for once? As for Elena, I can understand her inner-struggle, but I think as soon as Damon spotted her watching him and he laid down in bed by her, and he reached for her hand, that should have been it!

April 20th, 2012 4:27 PM
OH! And in regards to your obvious comment. NO ONE IN THE SHOW HAS EVER POINTED THIS OUT! They always praise Stefan, blah blah blah. No character ever rooted nor enlightened the others on Delena and though we ALREADY KNEW ALL OF IT. It needed to be said and Rose was the perfect one to say it!

I LOVED the episode. I liked Rose coming back and the Damonx Elena action was incredible. Damon has made mistakes, but he atones for them, and takes the hate the ensues. And what about all the crap he has done for Stefan? Damon has constantly take the fall for Stefan, saved him from himself with his bloodlust and gave up Elena. He has been Letting her hate him, she MADE THE MOVE!
And know it isn't Damon's fault Stefan went to Klaus. How can you fault someone for dying? Stefan made a choice, one Damon would ave made if the roles were reversed, not fault should be placed anywhere. And Damon didn't move on her, he tried everything to get Stefan back, offered himself as a replacement for Stefan, had Andie until Stefan killed her etc etc. EVERYONE knew Damon loved her, and used it when it was advantageous for them. Especially Stefan. Damon loved her, and now he has earned her love in return. It's a love triangle people!Get over it! For 2 years Damon watched the girl he loved love someone
I am not sure why both brothers keep fighting over Elena. Not much to her. Tall, slim, pretty, no money, no job, air head, too many problems/issues, high school student, no fun, and lusting after them both.
Let's not forget: ignorant, hypocritical, weak-willed, personality-less, bland, dull, clingy and most likely won't ever enter college with her considerably low IQ. Also, prety much no fashion sense at all.

Jojo, you hit the nail right on the head. After what Stefan to save the life of his brother, that scumbag ending up with the woman he loves is nothing less than disgusting. And that's even disregarding all the major crap that Damon has pulled over the life of the series. Fiction or not, it takes a really shallow person to want Stefan to get dumped now because why? Oh yeah that's right, because Damon is sooooo hot. This show has become a real disappointment. I won't be around next season - and maybe not to the end of this one.

Avery, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? The first time in the whole series it hasn't gone in Stefan's and Elena's direction? Have you even watched TVD this season? Stefan and Elena have been estranged since it began.There has been one heartbreaking moment after another between them for the past several episodes. There has been virtually nothing romantic that has happened between them. The only thing that has happened to really give us Stelena shippers any real hope is when they said they stilled loved each other, but then that was quickly squashed by Elena not being able to tell Stefan that she didn't have feelings for his brother. So that pretty much ruined that moment. And now in last night's episode Stefan and Elena have a heavy make-out session which was definitly headed for the bed when Jeremy showed up. But that was merely the knockout punch by Julie Plec to culminate an absolutely lousy season so far for Stelena shippers. It's been so long now since those two were a couple that it's almost

Anyone else feel that the writers arw now doing a little people pleasing, that's why things have been kinda dry lately. No hating but the Delena kiss was a little too forced for me, i felt like they had to intensify it for it to have the desired fan reaction. Tyler and Caroline are now lacking romance, when they don't argue about sirehood they're having sex, we need tender moments! Im beginning to think Matt and Caroline were better at this romance thing. If Klaus wasn't psychotic they would make a good match too. The old Damon was fun, full of punchlines and kickass, you'd want him on your side, this tender Damon they're tryna make isn't working. The writers failed to show the story and had Rose explain it to us, (another people pleasing move) hope season 4 will be better and fresher and not needing a witch to fix every little problem.

At this point, I'm pretty sure that I don't care who Elena ends up with now. My strongest reaction to Damon and Elena making out at the motel was to think "Buffy and Spike had to wait like, five and a half seasons for this," LOL.

I hate how when there's one episode, ONE episode where there was like no stefan/Elena and instead Delena an all of the SE-ers freak out like it the worst thing in the world. Seriously, chill out. Just because things arent going in your direction for the first time in like the WHOLE series, doesn't mean you have to start talking bad about damon and Elena's relationship. As far as I'm concerned, Rose had it spot on in this episode, and spoke what we all know deep down.

Tall, slim, pretty, no money, no job, air head, too many problems/issues, high school student, no fun, and lusting after them both. The one that walks away is the better man. The one who stays and claims victory better collect another prize.
Perhaps an older, wiser Elena who apologizes for stringing them both along would make a better mate.
Elena does not seem to know how to recognize love from lust. I do believe she loves Stefan, but she is lusting after Damon. Bad boys are always ones to lust after, but try to love one - women end up feeling empty and alone. They cry, they are confused and unsure of their feelings. they go back and forth = Elena. How much confusion did she feel with Stefan? She knew. There was no question and by episode 2 there was a kiss with no regrets. They had their ups and down and no third party was hurt. It was a relationship that developed and the audience cheered on. The tr

Really annoyed at everyone hating on Tyler... Imagine if Caroline did that to Tyler.. She got annoyed in ep. 6 bc rebekah gave him a blood bag and now he comes back after going through excruciating pain for her and finds out the guy who is the reason they broke up in the first place is putting moves on his girl and he's suppose to just take that? I love Caroline she's my fav. Character but y didnt she tell Tyler the truth from the get go? Elena and damon were soo hot together but I won't ever be able to see them together bc Elena how she is could nvr be with Damon.. Unless they r planning on making her change drastically in the next 3 episodes I can't see it... Love Matt davis' performance and loved him and Stefan together! Cannot believe ester took over rebekahs body!!! Is she dead or will it be the same as when klaus was in alarics??

Normal is not going back and forth between two brothers. Loving and sleeping with one, kissing and lusting after the other - normal NO. Jerry Springer material - yes.
It is one thing to innocently flirt with your man's brother, but telling him that you don't know if you feelings for him and then kissing him - tramp in any decade.

People Julie plec says she will decided by the end of the season so settle down and just enjoy the amazing moment between elena and damon!!!
nice to see katherine got some action last night..... i mean elena!.... seriosuly? this guy, althought is the best part of most episodes, killed ur brother, slept with ur mom, raped your best friend and charmed you while his brother paid the ultimate price to save him. How can Elena (who is irrecognizable from the elena we met on season 1 and part of season 2) choose a guy like that?

April 20th, 2012 1:42 PM
Delena shippers who continue to be all "Damon was there for her when Stefan left" need to cut the crap. Have you people seriously only started watching the show? Because then your love for Delena would make sense. Stefan left to save Damon's life and he repays him by stealing his one true love. How is that okay? And if Jeremy wasn't wearing that ring when Damon killed him, Elena would have lost her brother at the hands of Damon. I would like to see how much love would have then stirred between the two. At least Stefan only ripped randoms, that too because an original was behind it.

Elena is Katherine i cant stress that enough what she doing to Stefan is wrong that's his brother that's wrong on so many levels it make me sick to my stomach if Elena would fall for any body else i understand but his brother that's just ratchet my hope for season 4 is that Stefan little by little remove himself from Elena and Damon
Damon: She's strong and crafty and you'll die. Elena: At least I'll die trying.
