This is SUCH a petty thing to care about, but lately it's been bothering me how many people talk about what the cure did to Katherine in The Vampire Diaries, and why would Damon want to take it when that would surely mean him ageing rapidly the way that Katherine did. Katherine didn't die because of the cure, she started ageing rapidly because Silas sucked the cure out of her blood. It wasn't in a blink and you'll miss it moment even, there was a whole cliffhanger build up around Damon feeding Katherine to Silas, yet even critics reviews for the last episode are talking about how it's the cure itself that will cause rapid ageing with older vampires?!

I just don't get why do so many viewers seem convinced that the cure was what somehow killed Katherine, Silas forcibly draining Katherine of the cure was a fairly important plot point?

I have always thought like you, that Katherine started aging rapidly due to Silas draining her. So, really, Elena should be fine. But given how the last episode went - I don't think Damon is going to become human anyway. I just don't see how a human!Damon would stay and not leave town with her, makes zero sense.

Yeah I was puzzled as to why so many people skipped over Silas draining Katherine, and thought the cure itself killed her. At least this last episode made it clearer with Damon's plan to keep the cure in his system to avoid what happened with Katherine's ageing

And yeah Damon isn't going to turn human, judging by the promo, I get the feeling that Stefan is going to be trying his hardest to talk him out of it
