OH MY GOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy pooppers. I am so so excited. what was that that elena said at the end? “and i”? i am so excited. i wonder if all that is in the 1st episode or whether it goes beyond that. yay

OMFG! My heart is dying. Stelena. Stefan “I love you so much!” My heart still hasn’t recovered. I wonder why Damon punched Stefan, at least it’s 4×02, right? Well, I’m Team Stelena and Defan. Although, this being Damon probably pushed Stefan far over the edge. OMG! My heart! I’m gonna be a wreck when it’s the actual episode, and the ring scene, Elena saying ‘I love you’ back, Stelena tree slamming make-out and SEx the next episode, along with motorcycle riding. I don’t know how I can survive. Totally pumped for the new episode. IDC if Elena is drinking from Damon which is an obvious call-back to the books, which is just fan service, even one journalist or whatever said so. No offence, DErs. Go here and read under ‘Shipper Stuff Galore’ and you’ll see if you haven’t done so already: http://www.ksitetv.com/vampire-diaries/the-vampire-diaries-ten-things-about-season-4s-first-two-episodes/16695

Yay! SE are wonderful and ‘epic’ as always. Can’t wait to see what Becks does once she sees it. She’s going to be converted, and then she can go after Matt/Damon. I would love that triangle tbh. 

You’re a nice fan since you’re not hating on SE/Stefan like quite a lot of DErs (Not all, but quite a lot) just like there are SErs disliking Damon for being horrible to Stefan and blaming him for it. Well, I’m Team Defan, and I love both brothers, and just want them to get along. I can’t hate Damon, unless he for absolute no good reason or little good reason harms a weak human being. That I can not stand. I wouldn’t like it if anyone did it, so it’s not double standards.

Whilst, I really don’t like the idea of DE as a couple, I love them as friends. And if they did happen, I would just feel so terrible for all of them, especially Stefan. He really does love her so much. There is no other woman for him, except for her. She is the love of his life! He’d rather choose to be alone, if Elena did end up leaving him for Damon or whatever reason. 

Whereas, Damon and Katherine clearly belong (I think she really does love him. I loved them since 1×06 and still hoping for a Kat return. I do think Kat has amazing sexual chemistry with Stefan, but that is all. It’s not love. Yes, she cares about him, and he probably cares about her. But it’s similar to DE.):D or even him and Rebekah, or Bonnie (As someone wise said, it depends on how his redemption journey pans out. I still want him to retain some his S1 BA edge since that swagger is a part of who he is, like I want Stefan to be a balanced vamp with moderation, but all of this will take time. I love Defan. Stefan struggling with his vampirism/’ripper’ nature and Damon struggling with his humanity and emotions. Love the journeys they are going on together.)

I agree with you sort of ab stelena, I really miss them together. Whatever happens I’m ready and excited for!!!!!!!

Same here. Out of SE and SD. I will always choose SD! We all love the show, and that is all that matters. Even if DE does happen at some point, I’ll still watch it because there are a lot more things to watch for than the triangle. I actually am not a big fan of it. Too many people hearts end up getting broken, including the fandom. So, I hope they can all be happy together at the end, and so can we. 

LOL. You’re so funny Guest :D Vamp Elena sure is feisty. 

All this teasing must stop.  I have got to see this episode!  LOL  Slowed  down to see who the memorial was for but they blurred it dammit.  Stefan saying he loves Elena, I missed that so much.  Wonder what Damon did to piss Stefan off that he punched him?  Probably has nothing to do with Elena.LOL

Nice teaser for Growing Pains and Memorial.  Just more to get the TVD fans excited….and it worked.  :)

1. Personal Jesus
2. Ain’t No Sunshine (after the scorching sun at 0:41)

Oh my God, I swore over the hiatus that i would never ever ever watch TVD again because it is SERIOUSLY interfering with my school life and grades, but,,,, Oh I’m so weak!!! I’m coming back to the dark side!!!!!!!!!
Stefannnnnnnnn!!! And Defannnnnnnnnnnnn!! *squeals* I just hope wotever the writers do, whoever the writers throw Elena to, the brothers bond is never broken. I hope the one who doesn’t get Elena gets someone even better! XD

Yes,Elena,you’re better off dead.I would feel a lot better if you were dead.B/c you’re selfish and pathetic and  ungrateful.
Stefan ‘s ‘I love you’ broke my heart again!Not b/c I’m a stelena fan but b/c I am a  Stefan fan. :(

I don’t think it’s fair to say that Elena’s not allowed to struggle just because she has friends. She’s been on the receiving end of vampire attacks more time times than I can count, can you really blame her for freaking out now that she is one of them? She knows how dangerous vamps can be and I doubt she’d forgive herself if she hurt, or killed, someone. Don’t be so unfair.

Ya your probably right its Rics memorial.  I don’t want anything to happen to Bonnie.

Not that I would not be happy if Elena will drink Damon’s blood but isn’t it necessary to drink from a real human and not from a vampire in order to complete the transition?

I’m not put off by it at all. Elena’s the main character of the show. Like it or not, the story is mainly about her. This young girl  didn’t choose to be a vampire, she died with vampire blood in her system due to a controversial twist of fate. If it was her choice, she would have happily declined. Although, I do find that rather odd considering she’s currently “involved” with one, if not two, vampire men. But that’s the way the story is written, so there’s that. 

When Caro transitioned, no one knew exactly what was going on and by the time they found out, it was to late. Tyler’s werewolf thing is genetic….nothing anyone could do to stop it. Damon & Stefan have been vampires for 160+ years…..one of them has accepted his fate, the other can’t seem to find his way to doing that.

Going by the who the character of Elena is, for me, saying she is “better off dead” isn’t outside the realm of possibility for her. Considering she never wanted to be one, I’m sure any 18 year old girl would think their life is currently over…..you can’t compare Caroline Forbes (the eternal optimist) to Elena Gilbert (the girl who feels like she bears the weight of the world on her 18 year old shoulders)…two different characters, two different viewpoints. 

You’re right in one regard though, Elena has a hell of a support system. Hopefully she’ll come out of the doldrums soon and accept her fate…no sense in railing against it, because it’s not going to change. That’s one of the reasons that her boyfriend (Stefan) should never let her think that there’s a possibility of  stopping the transition…..it’s kind of cruel to give her hope when there is none:( Not to mention that trying to stop the transition is most likely going to alter her in some way…….which really isn’t fair to her either. Que bloody vomit and all:(

I’m not going to lie, Elena does tend to get on my nerves when she does stupid things…but in this, she’s not at fault. No one knew she had vampire blood in her system when she died (other than Meredith Fell), so it’s not like she made the choice to deliberately turn:(

Or maybe, because Stefan & Bonnie are trying to stop the transition, Elena finds herself altered in some way and has to feed on the dead?

Hmmmmmm….well, maybe Stefan can’t feed her due to his own issues? But that doesn’t make sense….surely he would get over it for her sake…….OMG…I just had a thought….what if she can only feed from the person who’s blood was used to turn her?

After you mentioned the possibility of her only being able to drink vampire blood the thought had crossed my mind that it had to be Damon’s. Maybe Bonnie knows it but Stefan doesn’t.

 You are so right. And it’s not like Caroline didn’t freak out but Caroline didn’t know anything about vampires. It was all new to her so she could be optimistic about it. Elena knows about vampires and has seen their struggles. The heightened emotions, the blood lust, the desire to rip people apart. She knows she’ll have all this to deal with.

It would be so unrealistic if she were happy and gushing gratitude about her support system. Especially since her so called support system is not united. Stefan and Caroline are on one side, Damon is on the other, and Jeremy is just upset about the whole thing. Its a lot to deal with.

well said!!! what an insane and awesome twist would that be?!!! 

Elena: “Maybe I’m better off dead.” 
Me: “Yes.  Yes, you are.  But yet–here we are…”
