What a canny performer Ian is! Seems like he is now using key scenes as audition pieces for Christian Grey. Tonight, his whole impassioned "I'm the bad guy! I don't do the right thing!" sounds a LOT like Christian warning Ana that he's fifty shades of effed-up and doesn't have a heart
I hope that Damon will set Elena free or else vampire diaries won't even feel like a great show anymore. I wonder what else will happen throughout the season. =P

.....and i was saying come on writers, make it happen, Stefan and Caroline that is. I can't drum up any real interest in Bonnie or Jeremy, sorry. I do have a thing for Matt though.

Is it possible Ian is getting better looking? His close-ups are breathtaking. Nina Dobrev looks like she's in heaven. I love Stefan's intensity but Damon's a whole different ride at the park. The sire thing is a total turn on for me. I was mad at True Blood that Sookie and Erik got it on when he was a total idiot and that ruined it for me. The sire bond is like Damon finally getting his and then some. He has the upper hand over judgey Elena who he knows would sleep with him anyway (and it isn't rape whoever said that, he didn't command her to sleep with him, or dance with him and he didn't know she was sired to him)and Elena can be free of guilt for leaving dull Stefan, sorry he can be dull, in the dust because she's now a vampire with the hottest sire in town. Now that Damon and Elena are properly matched finally geez, Stefan needs someone to shake him up. Does anyone notice Caroline worships him? Wouldn't it be a great storyline for Klaus an Stefan to face-off over her? Come

First of all, I LOVED this episode because neither Salvatore was near Elena! Secondly can I just say that I think Caroline has the right to be mad at Elena for sleeping with Damon. I mean, Damon did totally mess her up big time! Sired or not Elena should not have been so bitchy with the comment about Caroline sleeping with Damon once upon a time! Thirdly I also think that it's a bit awkward that Elena is dating Damon so quickly after she and Stefan broke up, that's just messed up in any society! I don't take any sides because frankly I think Elena could be with both but the way she is acting is not cool! Fourth I really liked Madeline Zima! She is totally awesome and I love her in any show!

Now it's official - TVD seriously sucks and the storyline is agonizing. Can't the writers let Delena happen without the drama for just one episode?! Delena shippers have waited for such a long time and are rewarded with this??? This whole sire nonsense has totally ruined Delena for me. I hope that Damon finds a cooler woman who deserves him and loves him back. I also think that he has suffered enough (good job Julie & co! can't you just give him a break for a while, I mean just a little bit!) - honesly he had to endure so much rejection in his life, no wonder he is pissed and annoyed. Good things just aren't happening for him... In general, I didn't like this episode at all. Even Lexie sucked...

408 was by far the best episode of season 4. I loved everything in it. The last scene was amazing. I am happy for Delena. I waited 3 long seasons for them and finally I am getting what I want with Sire bond but I already knew tat fr bond one needs human feelings so this will make Delena even more stronger. My fav episode frm season 4.

This was such a boring episode. The only thing I liked was the girl hangout thing, which was eventually ruined by Caroline and Elena.
The writing is bland now.
If you're just going to give Delena by means of an excuse (sire bond) then just don't write them together at all. I truly could care less if they end up together anymore. They both suck.
Every character sucks now. All of them have just become plot devices. Many many MANY characters are OOC. The only thing that is remotely interesting is the whole Shane thing. And even that is becoming yaaaawn.

Compelling someone to have sex with you IS rape cause you KNOW she wouldn't be sleeping with him if she is a living blood bad, but OH WAIT he compelled her to forget. Its against your will. Also like someone said, why wasn't Stefan and Damon sired? Heck, why doesn't Katherine have a whole cult of men worshipping her?

I want to add that I want Damon to hold on to Elena and never let go even if every one will see it a selfish act (they always saw him that way ). I want him to be selfish and fight for his chance to be happy with Elana he did everything to deserve that chance and I want him to take it.

I don't like the whole sire bond excuse: it just creates too much useless drama (I'm neither team delena nor stelena). @Mariah: Now I really think about it... you are very very very right!
This episode revealed too much, including weak explanations, and thereby caused a break in the suspense, making me even long more for Prof. Shane's secrets.

6/ The most heartbreaking moment other than when Damon find out that Elena is sired to him was the moment when he came home and wanted to free Elena like he did with Charlotte. It was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same level, I loved how Damon has pointed that he can't be selfish with her no matter how bad he can be (how people see him) and that he need to be sure if she loves him for real or it has something to do with the sire bond and how Elena was for the 1st time sure and confident that her feelings toward him are real and asked him to believe in her/it Damon and not to let go. It was a magnificent scene.
Sunshine Rise
December 8th, 2012 4:56 PM
5/ It felt awkward and funny to see Damon stepping away from Charlotte it felt like he was all :" I have a girlfriend and I love her so please..." but it was so sad to see her having no life for 70 years waiting for him literally as he told her so and how guilty he felt to be the reason even that he didn't knew that the sire bond didn't broke. And I loved how he tried to free her even that I don't think that it would work cause you can expect someone to obey you when you tell him to do or not to do something and but you can't expect him to obey you when you tell him to love or to stop loving someone, he won't do it even if he wants to.

3/ I loved this Elena: the fun, strong and confident Elena. She enjoyed herself with her friend until Caroline started with her judgemental attitude and I loved how Elena stood up for Damon and defended him against her friend not by portraying him as a perfect guy but as the men who always stood by her whenever she needed him and who she's aware of his bad track record with them still falling in love with him as she said and who she trust.
4/I loved watching Damon & Elena it was so beautiful and it was the 1st time to see these two so happy unfortunately for us viewers we got distracted by Caroline and Stefan's conversation for the 2nd time and for them that they couldn't stay happy for longer than a day (couple of hours for Damon) 'cause of the sire bond news. I hope that she would keep her promise and stop judging.
Sunshine Rise
December 8th, 2012 4:55 PM
2/ It felt good to see Stefan regretting and apologizing to Damon for being rude to him and loved their flashback when they get along with each other and I couldn't stop my self from crying at the moment when Damon let go of his little brother that he needed so he will have a better chance being a functional vampire and not turn into a ripper all over again. 1st it's not the first time that I witness a selfless act by Damon still it made me love him more and more that I thought I reached the peak of loving him ( I adore him!!!). 2nd I don't see Lexi's plan working out greatly for 2 reasons: reason 1, she's sending Stefan into a war where he will see dozens of wounded and dead people when he panicked the moment he saw a wounded woman ? reason 2: we all saw how her bunnie diet didn't cause anything but imprisoning the ripper inside Stefan that snaps out every couple of decades.

December 8th, 2012 4:55 PM
That was a brilliant episode. I loved how the writers made it clear that the sire bond does affect acts and not feelings and that the sire bond won't take place unless the sired had human feelings toward his sire befor turning into a vampire.
1/ I love the scene where Tylor took the leadership of the unsired werewolves wich is a natural matter for them as werewolves (they travel in a pack and they need a leader) and I don't see see him doing what Klaus used to do to his hybrids that we saw how far can Klaus go with the use of the sire bond. This Shaine guy is getting creepier every episode and I hope that Bonnie realise that before getting too deep into the dark magic without noticing.

This show sucks now. Elena is such a selfish little b.... How can she do all this with Damon in Stefan's house? What a slut, sired or no sired. Damon is an ass and he said it himself, I steel my brother's girl. What a joke. He better release Elena from the sire bond and let her go. I actually love Caroline standing up for what she believes in and telling her best friend exactly what she thinks, as she doesn't want Elena to get hurt. She should continue to do exactly that to make Elena see what the hell she's doing is just completely wrong.
@Leviniah :I know what Katherine said but Stephan was not in love with her anymore after he changed, or at least that's what he said. And we all know how Katherine's truth is flexible...

@Lily07,
Katherine had compelled Stefan to not be afraid of her, to drink her blood and had also compelled Stefan to keep her secret of being a vampire.
But Katherine said (to Stefan): "I never compelled your love ... it was real and so was mine."

Okay so since the writers already fucked Elena up completely and successfully made her one of the most annoying and universally disliked protagonist ever they decided to do the same to Caroline too???
For real now Her and Klaus were the only reason, I still watched this crap but she has been acting like a mini-elena for weeks now, hell whenever she opens her mouth I feel like cringing .... SO, THANKS WRITERS!!! By TVD.... i guess this show had way to much potential and too big of a following to actually not fuck it up with horrible writing....
@Mariah : Stephan was not sired to Katherine because she compelled his feelings. You learn it in season 2. However, maybe damon was indeed sired and that is why he kept looking for her for 140 years. And when he fell in love with Elena, those feelings got stronger than the bond.
Damon: She's strong and crafty and you'll die. Elena: At least I'll die trying.

im sorry i lost the memo where the actors write their lines, i thought that was Plec's job?? grey is based on Edward cullen, a vampire so technically grey copied these ideas.... anyways moving on. its the writers developing our favourite salvadore brothers to be incarnates of other ideas, not the actors fault take it up with plec next time aye =]
