Couldn’t agree more :/  That was no love triangle! We have a saying ‘been led up the garden path’ and it sure feels like it :(

A heart stopping episode nevertheless, though, I didn’t get how Damon couldn’t travel back but Bonnie and Rebekah managed it?

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I should just know it by now …. no matter what he does or goes through to help he gets the short straw.  I’ve been hoping for so long this would change, and feel such a fool for thinking it, and being led to believe there’d be a chance :( I need to resign myself to not only SE being endgame but all the way through really …. no matter what is hinted at!

I can see where your hubby’s coming from, sort of older women being the ones to rescue him and ‘calm’ him.  When I read your last sentence, the word that sprung to my mind was ‘deep’.  Damon has that wit and humour that makes you want to listen to what he has to say and he lets that be seen; underneath that he knows what he wants in his heart (true love) and will strive for it with such determination (that’s what I like); and Damon does this in the face of such adversity from so many sources usually and this never changes, and no one sees (or wants to see) he is good enough – and that’s what I find heartbreaking.

I dunno, since the time I even started to notice boys on TV I’ve been bored with guys like Stefan. He kind of reminds of superman, who is so MORALISTIC and WHOLESOME to the extent that he’s pretty unrelatable (I can’t imagine any real person being so completely selfless that they’d let the person they love die to respect their wishes- I don’t agree with Julie here, it isn’t the same as taking someone off life support). My personal preference is just characters who aren’t so static, who you can see developing. Does anyone remember watching Stefan fall in love with Elena? I don’t, I just remember him showing up and being into Elena.

I guess that’s suppose to be more real and “epic” than cultivating love.
