I guess Damon being such a bastard in this ep served to illustrate his point from the previous ep: that he's a baaaad person. Like we don't know that already O_o On the one hand, this is definitely not OOC for him, so I can make peace with him torturing Katherine (whoever says he has to be rational? he's mad at her, he blames her for everything, it doesn't have to logically be true), but ugh, that was such a low blow anyway. It made me want to snap his neck (which luckily did happen to him anyway XD). Rebekah also constantly had it held over her head that she caused Elena's car accident and is therefore a bad and unforgiveable person, yet Damon's past deeds are almost forgotten and he gets to join in funeral rituals in 402 without the characters even acknowledging that he killed half of the people that they are mourning! This is sooo true, but apparently Damon gets a free pass now b/c Elena loves him. As much as I've always shipped D/E (originally b/c I just liked Damon more than Stefan, but now also b/c I found out I happen to like Stefan on his own but he turns into smth unbearable when he's having Elena-related drama), I feel that their ship is getting more and more unhealthy with each new ep. I understand that she can forgive the shit he did in the past. I don't even have a problem with that b/c well, love is a weird thing, etc. BUT he keeps doing shit! He's just told her he secretly killed some people while they were together! And her reaction was: ...that's ok, I love you? After that, it's really not all that strange that he gets pardoned for the type of things Rebekah or anyone else will never be forgiven for. *sigh* maybe Elijah owed it to Katherine to give her that cure right back so that she could finally protect herself from his sadistic brother I have serious issues with Elijah in general. I want to like him because he often comes off as the sanest one of the Mikalesons, but GOD, his fixation on Klaus and family kills me! Yes, dude, we get it, family means a lot to you, but your brother is a major murderous selfish dickhead! Klaus is one of my top favourite TVD/The Originals characters, but I still don't understand where the hell Elijah's iron-clad faith in his redemption comes from. He's a douche, he doesn't want to change, so stop sacrificing everything for him. I feel like the show is going out of its way to set Elijah up as this noble, moral character but there is nothing noble about letting countless people die by Klaus's hand and then going all: Noooo, brother, this was baaaad, don't doooo that again. LOL, sorry for the rant. >_< Anyhow, your post is great, the authors of this stupid show should see it and LEARN! :))
