I don't think it really matters in situations such as the life of your loved one being at stake. Even if you can't swim but you see someone dear to you drowning, the first instinct is to jump into the water. Same here. I'm not saying Bonnie should've (or would've been able to) carried through with the idea, but she should've at least thought of it. And there was zero indication she did. Just saying ;)

I don't think this applies at all. That's a life or death situation. This is talking about Bonnie even thinking about becoming a vampire. She would never do that. She would never even think about that beyond a second. It's just completely ingrained not only in her but ANY witch that it's just NO, you don't do that. Witches are literally, instinctively against vampires. Bonnie isn't because she had to learn to not feel that way, but to become one? No, no, no............ that her second reaction (after literally one or two seconds of thinking it) wouldn't be, no, I can't do that is completely and utterly against EVERYTHING that Bonnie Bennett is. It just is.

I get that, but the thing is... Bonnie didn't appear to have ANY hesitation at all at any point, at all, there was nothing about her being a witch and how being a witch is an inherent part of who she is and how being a witch goes against vampires intrinsically. THAT should have come up canonically. That it did not was out of character for Bonnie and, frankly, for the show. Of course the fact that we never saw an actual love story with any type of discussion of any kind that dealt with real issues (such as a witch and vampire falling in love) play out between these two makes this just par for the course.

I disagree; it could have been addressed had they used the 12 or so episodes between the shocking Bonnie/Enzo kiss to the 3 years jump and shown their love story developing and not relegated it to one episode. Or it could have been done in place of the pointless scenes regurgitating information we already knew (he could fight Sybil because of his past--that was a reminder ONLY if it was going to be used to explain to the others why Damon couldn't) or during some of their 'I love you. No, I love you. No, no, I love you!' scenes. It COULD have been done. Just a couple of scenes with that dialogue would have been enough at least this season for that discussion, but they chose to ignore it.
