I don't think there are sufficient words to describe how utterly, and completely in LOVE with this show I am.
ENORMOUS FANGIRL FLAILING!!!!!!
OMFG HOW BLOODY PERFECT WERE DAMON & ELENA TONIGHT??????
THEIR GIVE & TAKE AND PHENOMENAL CHEMISTRY AND ELENA NEARING HER BREAKING POINT AND
FINALLY, FINALLY, AT LONG, LONG LAST ....
THEY KISSED WILLINGLY ON BOTH PARTS!!!!!
THESE TWO TOGETHER JUST FRICKEN KILL ME IN ALL THE BEST WAYS!!!!
The build up to that last scene was wonderful. I could feel Elena wanting to break down but drawing strength from Damon. It was all kinds of awesome that Damon just went, "screw it", if I'm going to feel guilty I might as well have something to feel guilty about! It felt very true to his character.
I cried when Damon compelled Jeremy. I will miss him, and could understand his motivation through the episode. I hope he'll come back at some point.
Stefan really and truly has gone over to the dark side. The scene between him & Elena in the basement of the 100 dead witches house really showed that they are completely done. He really seems to want to sever any and all ties with her.
I loved my dysfunctional brothers Salvatore. Damon's pissed that Stefan, once again, saved him and Stefan, despite his words otherwise, wants to protect Damon. What a complex relationship they have.
I'm sure I'll think of more things tomorrow when I re-watch this at home. Tonight, I will fall asleep with images of Damon & Elena on her porch finally acting on their feelings <3
and, oh
BEST. SHOW. EVER.
