I haven't posted in FOREVER because real life is kicking my ass (stage managing two plays at the same time will do that to a gal), but after last night's TVD and all the reactions I've been reading to the episode online, I had to weigh in with a brief thought.
(
Spoilers for TVD 3x20 Do Not Go Gentle... )
I'm slowly losing faith that that blow up is ever going to happen, though. I don't understand why, because it would be such a good pay off and so cathartic! And I say this as a Stefan fan! It doesn't even have to be a blow up, it could be a frank, sympathetic speech from Elena to Stefan that his actions have consequences, and they can't just go back.
All I'm asking for is equal treatment of both brothers. And also for Elena to stand up for her right to feel whatever the hell she wants to feel.
But as far as the triangle, there were other things, small touches, that in my opinion, showed where the writers are going, and that's either Damon/Elena or Elena/Elena (although I guess Matt/Elena could sneak in there like a ninja).
Yeah, I love my mom, she cracks me up, and we have amazing TV analysis convos all the time. She's the actual best :)

I really feel like the last two episodes are going to focus on the brothership, and for that to happen, Stefan has to acknowledge that there is no good brother/bad brother, that they're the same, and that Damon is an ok choice for Elena, as much as he might hate it. And he has to acknowledge that his journey back to himself can't be dependent on Elena choosing him, otherwise he'll throw out all his growth when she doesn't choose him, and if he's learned anything this season, he has to know that isn't an option.
I feel like the whole season has been building towards this, and last episode was no different, with Damon asserting his brotherhood with Stefan to Klaus, and with Klaus taunting them about their bond being shaken. As Rebekah asserted a couple episodes ago, Stefan and Damon aren't the originals, they love each other and will subvert all these dire warnings from the villains about their relationship being broken forever.
In short, I have faith!
