More thoughts: The Salvatore Brothers and Elena
After reading my f-list's posts and re-watching The Murder of One several times, I am back with more thoughts about the Salvatore brothers and Elena.
While I enjoyed seeing Stefan and Damon working together (with Ric and power tools, as well :), overall I was left saddened by the idea that the reciprocity of the level of brotherly love seemed to ( Read more... )

She doesn't show as much as Damon does, but she's not where Damon is about the whole thing ... yet. Damon's had nearly three seasons of falling for, dealing with and accepting his love for her. Elena's basically working on a handful of episodes at this point. But she's getting there. She didn't officially let go of Stefan until episode 9 of this season, less than ten ago. It's just going to take time.
As for showing Damon's desires which we all know, well -- Damon REALLY pulled away from her and what we see shippers see is different from what the non-shippers do. Damon said he loved her in AMC, and in the same scene basically washed his hands of her. Everything after that scene was Damon screwing other girls, flirting and playing with other girls, being snarky and somewhat mean to Elena as if he didn't care about her feelings, her situation, her loss. He's acted like he is moving on, like he's done with her. Period. We know that's not the case. However, if they are going into some heavy Damon/Elena stuff -- and I do believe they are -- then the non-shippers, and those who likely believe that Damon is moving on were let in that, nope, he still loves her just as intensely. And ...
They were showing shippers a bone to hold onto, and it was needed. There's been NOTHING lovey-dovey for shippers really (if you don't count the look when Elena arrived at the ball and the 30 seconds or so of light flirting before/during their dance in "Dangerous Liaisons") since "Our Town." In episode 11. This was episode 18. Again, if they are heading into heavy Damon/Elena stuff, this to me was them setting it in motion with the hallucination scene (yes, Damon still loves her!) and the Stefan/Elena scene (yes, Elena loves him!).
And it's all coming to a head, I have faith.
