Actually getting to watch it was a bit of an adventure. Our Town became available for download on iTunes at 11 am yesterday (that was when I got my notify e-mail), unfortunately the iTunes Store was not working until about 12:30 pm. I get the downloads started.  A couple of hours later, I think I should check on it, and find out there have been

That scene on the porch was just so perfect it's at the top of my Best DE Moments list (for now). Her longing for him was so sweet right there, I just felt like she knew if he kissed her it, it would make her feel so much better after such an AWFUL evening, but at the same time she had to try to do the right thing. This could tie into her reveal that she knows it's wrong to have compelled Jeremy, so here was the place where she was trying to do what's right, but what made it so much more was Damon being all I know and not forcing anything. So tender, so sweet, it's like I seriously cannot handle how amazing they continue to be. *flails*

As for Stefan: he is, hands down, more scary to me than Damon ever was. He is creepy, and he is so self-destructive right now, I, like Damon, cannot tell how far he's willing to take it, which makes it EVEN SCARIER. Man oh man.

I don't feel that much chemistry between Meredith and Alaric either, but I'm still interested in her, especially after Jenn reminded me that Alaric killed Logan, and I want to know how closely related she is to him, and if she has any clue what happened to her brother/cousin/whatever relation he is.

That's a very interesting insight that her determination to do the right thing is in full force in reaction to her belief that she was wrong to compel Jeremy. Damon's response for the most part would have made it easier for Elena, and was so sweet & tender, as you said. I have so much respect and admiration for Elena for letting her desire to do the right thing win out over the desire to have the pain of Stefan taken away for just one night. When Elena said, "I can't. It's not right", I found myself adding, "but you could come up to my bedroom and just be with me, please ...". I know that's wrong of me to think that, but crikey, doesn't the girl deserve a moment of selfishness?

Stefan is definitely more scary to me than Damon ever was!!

I am still interested in Meredith, too and curious to see where this storyline goes.
