I'm with your review. I want to pull Elana's hair out too. She's gotten on my last nerve. There's a saying where I come from "Want all; get none." Well I hope Elana doesn't end up with either of the brothers because she is ridiculous. I find her little goody act to be pretentious on so many levels. It's also controlling because once Damon and Stephan do what she wants, she is totally oblivious to the people they have killed. If you are so moral, stuff like that will always be an issue.
I also think if they pair Elana with Damon it will damage the show unless she changes because her personality doesn't match his. She's a Damon killer and Damon with her just makes him come off as an obsessive stalker, which is also annoying. And the whole thing about brothers fighting over the same woman is just nasty. Like its bad enough that she's doing it with the undead...eww nasty.

Those who want Damon And Elena to be together will rationalize anything and come up with the most bizarre reasons foer Elena to choose Damon. Stefan chose to leave her? You have got to be kidding! He didn't "choose' anything. He sacrificed everything to become Klaus' slave to save his brother's life - the same brother he may now lose the woman he loves to forever. And yes, I know it's only a work of fiction, but the fact that so many don't care that Stefan's supreme act of self-sacrifice should ultimately result in him losing what he values most is incredibly cruel and heartless, fiction or not.
Julie Plec has told the Stelena shippers to take a flying leap this whole season. Last night was the knockout punch. And if Jeremy hadn't interrupted, Delena fans would be really thrilled right now. So Elena's falling for a guy who murdered countlss women (and a few men) in her home town (and not because an original compelled him), killed his brother's best friend and mentor, "killed" her br

absolutely loved it! ... I think it wouldnt be so great without Stelena and Delena plot, so if you dont like it the help is really easy here - dont watch it :D .. and to those who keep saying Elena should just decide - come on, she is just 17, too young to know what or who she wants .. moreover with all the danger around her and what she has come through ..
I cant believe there are only three episodes left before long break :(

@Amie thank you for bringing up Rose speech that didn't make sense at all this is not Dawson & Pacey
That was a great episode! Forwood were so cute and I've missed Tyler too. Caroline was awesome as always, I enjoyed her scene with Rebekah. OMG the Delena makeout session was so hot and it was definitely worth the wait. I love Florence and the Machine and "Never let me go" is a great song. I was annoyed at Elena, she has already made her choice, she just has to say it out loud. I didn't like Rose so much when she was alive, but now I really like her and I love that she is a Delena shipper. I'm glad that Jeremy is back and the twist with Esther was surprising. Stefan and Alaric were great in this episode, I enjoy watching evil Alaric. I really like the scene with Stefan and Klaus at the end of the episode.
Can't wait for the next episode and the 20s decade dance, I'm looking forward to this!

@extra you are in the majority conisdering that 8 out of 10 comments are from bored now
I really liked this episode. So much great stuff!
I am glad we have Jeremy and Tyler back!
Plus we got to see Matt too! No Bonnie but that was okay.
I am a huge Stelena fan BUT OMG the makeout session with Damon and Elena was hot! I am sure them being a couple in real life helps make those scenes look extra steamy! Plus shirtless Damon!
Once again he had his funny moments, talking about Scary Mary and when Elena asked how he knew her and then she new that it was because Damon had a fling with her and then Damon saying she was not ugly! Typical Damon.
However Kol beat them to the house and for now they are no closer to answering who turned Mary. One thing I found funny was how in the world did they get to her house so fast the hotel they were in was in a different State.
The Esther/Rebekah thing was a shock, but I when they held hands right before Esther died that was when she took over her body! So this will be interesting to see how that all plays out the rest of the seas
It seems I am in the minority, but I loved this episode. I wouldn’t call myself a shipper of any sorts (team Salvatore), but I do understand that the premise is about a human girl being in love with two vampire brothers. Honestly-I like the different paths that each relationship has gone done and am not annoyed at how long it has taken her to decide. I am annoyed that she states she doesn’t know how she feels about Damon. You don’t kiss someone like that and not know. SPOILER-unfortunately I think Damon will be the brother to leave at the end of the season; Stefan did last year and it would seem too repetitive. Matt Davis once again was able to show off what he can really do and I love when he gets to play creepy. Last note-I think it is very selfish that people are going to stop watching just because your “ship” isn’t the main focus. The writers CANNOT please everyone and expecting that is just ridiculous.

Why did Damon say that this time he's not gonna make it that easy for Elena?
Didn't understand what he meant exactly.
I think this was my favorite episode of the whole series!!! Big time lover of redemption stories (i.e. Spike & Buffy). I think the best line of the show was Rose telling Jeremy that Elena makes Damon a better person and he challenges her. And that is everything and a bag of chips!!!!!!! LOVELOVELOVELOVED this episode!! Thank you Julie!!!!!!

Why wouldn't Bonnie just do the spell she did with Luca last season!?? And take the information from Alaric's head! PoOr writting miss Plec! :P
Anyone who is a fan of the books knows that the love triangle is the basis of the story. I know it can be annoying, but there it is. This girl just cannot make up her mind.
TV Show is not the books.
People are not ANGRY at love triangle BECAUSE its a love triange. They are angry because IT DOES NOT WORK. The show fails at characterization of all three parts of that triangle and fails at making the DE and SE relationships work and feel real, tangible, understandable.
It also triple fails at making Elena interesting, because she really really is not....

I think the show was great last night, its about time for her to make the first move but she needs to tell him that she has feelings for him. She is alot stronger with damon. She needs to pick him.
Can i just say that.... i really liked this episode!!!! I understand why people would be tired of the triangle and Elena's luck of decisiveness. But this episode's Delena scenes were by far the best of the whole season. I nearly fainted of joy when the kiss happened!
I was also glad to see Jeremy and Rose again! I was really sad when she passed away and i was glad we found out she's still looking over Damon. Although i do wish the blood line SL had moved a bit further.
I'm also happy Forwood shippers finally got the reunion they'd been waiting for so eagerly. Of course, i'm rooting for Klaroline, but i was still very touched by their scenes together.

I laugh when people say delena should be explored because Damon will bring out her wild side(LOL). Book Elena was worth the love of both brothers because she was light and dark. This Elena has none of that. Rose's speech was just stupid, Damon is not the best thing that has happened to Elena...especially when it comes to Jeremy.
As for the other stuff, all I can say is at least now it is nice know this season FINALLY has some direction. Interested to see how all this stuff with Alaric works out.

I think they should have called this episode "Heart of Dorkness" because that's who Elena is, a total dork! I am not saying this because I do not ship delena, but simply because I think she is not really worth it to be so obsessed and in love with. Look the sad fact is they have FAILED miserably at transferring the books'love triangle onto the screen, mainly because if Damon and Stefan were complete opposites in s1, and Damon was enjoyable...now its a very sleezy cheesefest and I don't even know who is more pathetic right now out of the two of them. Right now there is NOTHING that excites me about this so-called love triangle. Look, I prefer a fair fight between two guys, both of them staying true to themselves, however Damon's character has become such a love sick puppy over the past 2 seasons, and last night felt sooo unnatural, so forced, like, here we give this moment to you before all the 13yearold Ian Somerholder fans start crying. I laugh when people say delena should be explore
Elena : I just want to kill her. It's that simple.
