Aww, I'm glad I could do that for you. It's crazy when I pulled up my notes, I only had one thing jotted down for Damon and Elena. I thought WTF?! So, I went back and rewatched all of their scenes. I'm glad I did that because it gave me so much more to work with.

absolutely adore is the quiet "m-hmmm" Damon makes at the bar after Elena asks him whether any of this is real. We have often talked about Ian Somerhalder's fantastic delivery of lines, this little moment was one of them.

It didn't particularly strike me (thus my not mentioning it), but as soon as I read what you wrote, I certainly heard it in my head! So, yeah, memorable enough.

Yes, the key-word of the episode is "real". Actually it might apply to the whole series.

I don't think the whole series, but rather the Damon/Elena relationship. I know that I reference this 'real' quite a bit in later write-ups. I also know it comes up in 1.14 and just continues to hit with these two, particularly in 5.18 when it was made explicitly clear that Stefan and Elena are a fantasy, but Damon and Elena are reality.

Thanks for putting up your posts so quickly. I'm having a blast reading them. Season 1 is coming to life again.

Thank you! There's some discussion going on in the other posts, so feel free to chime in!
