Erm yeah this is gross



Damon was the one that turned Elena's humanity off in the first place, and NOW he and Stefan are torturing Elena to try and force her to turn it back on again wtf??! But it's totally okay because it hurts them way more than it hurts Elena!

And since when does Damon believe in this kind of stuff anyway? I buy it more from Stefan wanting to follow the ~Lexi method~, but Damon was the one who disapproved of Lexi and broke Stefan out in season 3 because he couldn't leave his little brother in there to rot. His idea of getting Stefan back in touch with his feelings was to take him out drinking, so surely it would be more in character for Damon to try and get through to Elena through bonding in New York or something?


This is a show with some very...odd views. With Caroline and her father in season 3 it seemed to be presented as a bad thing that he wanted to torture his daughter out of being a vampire, but then that came in the same season as Elena and Lexi were trying out torture and starvation on Stefan as a form of conditioning that supposedly works, and even Caroline's father was sort of shown to be right as he was apparently strong enough to resist mind-control and his tactics could help Tayler overcome the sirebond.

Really though what a bizarre message for any halfway normal show to push

Hmm... yeah, that's definitely odd.

Too angry over probably season finale to manage any concern over other storylines right now.

Who even knows with this show anymore. IMO, they can't be consistent with anything.

Yeah this whole show has gone off the stupidity bridge - Julie needs to go away, I swear she's a Troll.

I've got to be honest -- I'm not feeling this season much at ALL. It's like, even though The Originals pilot had its issues and things that annoyed me (I'm sure you know which), Vampire Elena and "the triangle" annoy the HELL out of me. As soon as they were back on screen, I got bored. Can Nina just play Katherine full-time?

I might be okay with some of this if Bonnie uses her magic to bring Jeremy and maybe Alaric back at season's end. Sadly, that's what the show has become, though... Jeremy dies and I don't care because I figure he'll be back soon anyway. McQueen not getting another pilot makes me think that's the case even more.

Then again, we also know the drill: Bonnie will use her powers for something big, she'll then lose them again, get them back, rinse, repeat. Sigh.
