I love Ian Somerhalder.  Wow, I can't believe Damon said that! Wait... that was Ian. My bad.  This just tells you that he's definitely not his character; Ian actually has a heart and thinks of others, whereas Damon mainly thinks of himself. I wish these writers could infuse more of Ian's personality into Damon. It would make a big difference with the character. Sort of the anti-hero that does the right thing even if he doesn't have to. I'm thinking of someone like "Riddick." Badass guys that you don't want to cross, but also don't kill indiscriminately. If Damon was that character, I would actually cheer for him, cause I love the Riddick character. |

He's not the villain. He was the protagonist in the beginning, but grew out of that role into what appeared to be the road to the anti-hero. "Do bad things for a good purpose" or whatever Damon's phrase used to be when he did things like kill the tomb vampires to save Stefan. Unfortunately he took a wrong turn in S5. |

I love Ian Somerhalder. Ian has been one of Bamon's biggest cheerleaders. I think it has been difficult for ian and nina to work together. Doesnt it seem like they show alot of them on the phone etc. I mean bamon would separate him from that . Also even the scenes of them seem to be from the back or the front. Another reaon I think they might go in diff direction. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using proboards |

Did we catch the song reference when Damon is on the other side of the door from Elena and the line is literally something like "she's standing in the rain." Oh you, TVD. Delenas, did you plotz?!
I don't see an inconsistency about Ric's return to humanity and Elena's compulsion. He didn't die -- Jo saved him. One of the things we seem to have forgotten is that Elena did cross the boundary after Sarah, and only stopped when her ring failed and she started frying in the sun. The time element as to death seems to vary by how someone originally died? Of course, all that is moot, because Ric hadn't compelled her.
If Jo lives, I like the way both Alaric and Jo actually seem like grown ups. It would be nice for Elena and Jeremy to have some stability.
I think the sire bond thing is still out there as a possibility. The only way for Elena's love for Damon to be proven is if she chooses him while human. Of course, then I'll be going out of my mind. Because I still hope -- tho it is fading -- that were Elena human, she might still choose Stefan.
Because I don't believe it can be shown that the sire bond isn't kicking in all over again when Damon is wooing her with language.

I'm a sucker for parent/child relationships on TV. Edit: Speaking of grown ups; I'm kind of glad they cast someone Matt Davis' age (she was actually born the same year as him.) |

Because I don't believe it can be shown that the sire bond isn't kicking in all over again when Damon is wooing her with language. That's true demetra, although I thought Alaric 'died' for a moment in the sense his heart stopped and that's why Jo did the strenuous CPR. When Elijah was daggered and Kat's compulsion ended, he wasn't truly dead; the dagger stopped his heart. If Ric's heart didn't stop, he still lost all his magic. Logically, I think his compulsion should end if he has no magic, but we don't have any scenes to prove that. So if Ric was only in cardiac arrest, with his heartbeat weak and giving out, then the compulsion remaining intact works for me.  With only Sheriff Forbes to represent the adults, I'm liking Alaric & Jo too, particularly for Jeremy. It seems like the set-up is Damon will have to earn Elena's love. I don't believe Elena will accept a serial killer this time. Damon tried changing his behavior in S3-4 but that didn't work when he was pressured by memories of Augustine, Enzo, and 'Elena' breaking up. It will mean Damon changing core beliefs about himself, then behavior change coming more naturally. I think he wants to change parts of himself, doesn't want to be alone and hated like Katherine. I'm not sure Damon will want to change completely, even for Elena. |

I'm not sure Damon will want to change completely, even for Elena. I'm with ya on the compulsion thing, jennifer. Should have ended as he briefly died, but then again how the hell did Jo do anything that would save a guy bleeding out from being staked in the heart. Jo: *here I am going to put compression on your heart and just sit here even though heart is severally damaged, bleeding internally and would need to have emergency open heart surgery* Alaric: *minutes later...oh hey, I am better, k thx...I am going to be totally coherent/awake at hospital and able to transfer out quickly* I mean there is suspending disbelief and then there is having to be braindead to accept the logic. |

I dunno. Technically, there was no reason Stefan couldn't have saved both Matt and Elena at the end of Season Three. He just couldn't. Technically I guess Jo saves Ric under the same rubric. It's what happened, people! |

It's what happened, people! Matt is a whole lot of sexy man to save. But realistically, yes it is much harder to save 2 drowning people in a car at the same time due to logistics, even with super human strength. Saving someone with a hole in their heart and losing a massive amount of blood, takes far more than a hand compression. Like I said there is suspending disbelief (the drowning you mention) and there is just ludicrousness (Jo Alaric scenario that played out). Hey writers...I love make believe, but lets not insult my intelligence in the process. Not saying Jo couldn't have saved Alaric with her skills in the long, but that needed to be played out far differently than it was. |

Or on massive doses of laughing gas, where everything -- no matter how ridiculous -- is funny. Where's the idiots out there? They're seriously missing out on something special. |
