TVD 4x15: Who's bringing the marshmallows?
Whoa, guys. Honestly, I don't even really know what to say. This episode was a tricky one. I'm feeling a little speechless.
( But then I found some speech, and no one was surprised. )

But that still doesn't do anything for my towering rage about Damon (and Stefan) making the ~magnanimous decision ~for her~ that SHE'S TOO EMOTIONAL AND THEREFORE MUST HAVE HER FEELINGS REMOVED.
See, I actually don't entirely agree with this. I'm with you in that it is an abuse of power of a sort, but I don't really think it's the boys trying to control their hysterical woman. I think it's more akin to a family trying to decide whether or not to institutionalize a loved one they fear may hurt herself somehow. It's always an ambiguous situation, because the issue of consent is a serious thing to consider, but ultimately, you have to choose whether the risk is too great. I think the Salvatores were genuinely concerned that Elena wouldn't survive. And it's a hard decision, acting FOR her, but it's also a surprisingly realistic one.
OK ENOUGH WITH THE SERIOUS STUFF. We'll have our fair share of misery come Thursday. Let's not dwell now.
I figured Stefan was going to declare his undying gay love for Damon.
This would have made it my favourite scene ever. And then they could have sex on the porch. That porch deserved one last hurrah.
