Hi! sorry to intervene.. I’m just curious with your conversation with Kiki.. just a thought though, I think Silas is an original werewolf (this is just a theory)..I think he’s the opposite of Klaus for that matter..  It just occurred to me when I/ we found out that Haley (wolf girl) and Shane are working together. And they don’t really mention the original werewolves. But since his werewolf “friends/ species” became hybrid, he needed them back to be his alliance that’s why Haley is helping Ty (w/c is innocent) to break the SB..

As connection with the cure, Silas wants all the hybrids to be with his side because he knows that Klaus would kill just to get it. Although we don’t know what the cure really is, I’m pretty sure it also has something to do with Silas’ girl. I also agreed with you when you said that Bonnie may be from Kepsia’s bloodline.. That’s why Shane wants her to regain her power so he could use her to achieve his plan.  

There was a lot more “blood bonding” in the books.  It wasn’t like being sired and both Delena and Stelena did it…I know that’s not exactly what you’re referring to, but I think that’s where the writers got the basic idea…at least that scene from 4×02, if not this “sired” thing :)

If Elena is sired to Damon, why did she attack him at the end of 4×01? Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure if you’re mentally enslaved to someone, you would never throw them to the ground while displaying you’re newly sharpened teeth…

I don’t think Klaus is really a bad guy. Of course he has done some terrible selfish things but, I think he’s really misunderstood and looking for love and acceptance in which I believe he can find with Caroline… Klaus entire purpose has been to build and create a family that will love him unconditionally, I kind of feel sorry for him at times bc nobody really loves him anymore. Question whenis Elijah and Rebekkah coming back?? Does anyone know?

So it’s been 5 days, and I’m still thinking about last week’s episode.  I am a die-hard Stefan/Elena fan, but I also adore Damon and want him to be happy (not that what we all want really matters).  A couple things I keep coming back to:
1. Delena fans keep complaining that the love triangle has been one-sided for 3 seasons, and it’s Damon’s turn at love and happiness.  But the way I see it, Stefan and Elena have not had true happiness for a long time, pretty much since Stefan sacrificed himself to Klaus to save Damon.  Since then, anytime they have been together has been strained by her known feelings for Damon and Stefan’s past conduct, and the anticipation of a break up was palpable.  Momentum has all been Damon for quite a while in my opinion.
2. Damon and Elena obviously love each other regardless of any sire bond.  But I think there are different types of very intense, important love – not all romantic.  I think the love between Damon and Elena is and should in the end be more of a best friend or brother-sister type.  As Elena explained to Damon when making her human choice before running off the bridge – she fell for Stefan instantly.  I don’t think that kind of love disappears, and in the end, I think her heart belongs romantically to Stefan.
3. There is a lot of debate on here about the plausibility of a sire bond given the fact that Elena has not always outright obeyed Damon and that Damon has not ordered her to love him, choose one way, etc., as well as comparing it to the lack of romanticism in the hybrids’ siring.  But I think that’s being superficial on the sire bond.  Perhaps it operates differently with different types of beings or even different individuals.  Maybe it’s more of a connection, subconscious desire to please, agree, coming together.  I think it totally makes sense in the broader perspective.  And I think Elena – even in her vampire state – would not jump into bed with Damon quite so quickly without some other force pulling on her, even though I totally agree that she had serious feelings for him before turning and certainly after.
4. I have been waiting for Damon and Rebekkah to get together ever since they first slept together.  They are quite alike in their impulsiveness and both so desperate to be loved.  I think they’d be a great couple.
Just my two cents for anyone out there who cares.

I love both Salvatore Brothers, but it’s definitely Damon’s turn for happiness! Stefan will survive a little “alone’ time!
  

Thank you :)
