TVD THE MURDER OF ONE:Can I have TEAM!STEFAN/DAMON/KLAUS always and forever?

[x5vale]

-Boys at work..me likes.

-DALARIC all the time!

-Or Damon, Elena....Damon didn't ask for becoming a vampire. He did not. Stefan turned him, even if at the very end he would have done for Katherine....I wonder if Elena is willingly deflecting everything about Damon on purpose or if there is some plan to keep her own feelings at bay.

-Klaus is not going to change, not in this lifetime...he is still willing to do anything to get what he wants.

-Sage/Finn...it's ok, Finn changed his mind quickly.

-If they force me to pick up sides, I will always be on TEAM SALVATORE!!!

-Is Ric starting to care about Damon again?...

-Bear with me...I have a thing for hurt!guy...Damon specifically.

-Of course Klaus is taking Bonnie under arrest and Kol has Jeremy under his radar

-Oh come on Elena, do you really think Stefan is going to let Damon die? But she is right, Damon would do anything to save Stefan if the role was reversal. Point is that Damon thinks about everything that can go wrong, Stefan doesn't.

-Damn Damon, Rebekah is tricking you...it's a hallucination. So not fair. So not fair. Emotional torture is way worse than physical one. This is what Damon wanted the most and sadly it's not happening...

-Rebekah really thought Damon had a thing for her...I feel sorry for her. She is really fucked up.

-People say that Damon is mean (and he is sometimes), but Klaus is 10000 worse than him. He doesn't have mercy and as much as I like him and Caroline, right now Caroline can't be with him. Klaus needs to start a healing process if he wants to have a chance with her. He needs to do what Damon has done and despite everything good Damon has done lately, he is still condidered the bad guy. So for Klaus it might take a while.

-Oh Stefan...Stefan you screwed up...

-Finn is dead, I won't miss him. Sorry. The spell is broken.

-Oh yes Bonnie, it's Damon...can you do something? Of course not because you are revengful and not better than Damon.

-Now instead of being all happy because they thought to have killed all of them....why they just don't run to save Damon? How could you look at him in the face when he saves you and you are not moving a finger to save him? How can he trust anyone? How can he? I am so disappointed...

-Sage is dead too....killing an Original means that everyone linked to the their bloodline would be dead?

-How is that I don't care about Tyler?

-Stefan is not only saving Damon, he is saving all of them. I think Sage died because she was turned by Finn, so we have to hope that Rose wasn't turned by Klaus.

-Klaus you mean son of the bitch....don't compel Damon, don't you dare. He did...as much as I try, I can't hate Klaus. Can I have him, Damon and Stefan roadtripping?

-Stefan you stupid boy....every time Damon is not around in a plan, the plan screws up big time. How could you be so naive to think that Klaus wouldn't have compelled Damon?

-Klaus doesn't give a damn about his siblings...Rebekah is right. Stefan and Damon would die for each other. Klaus is not able to forgive his parents for what they did to him. He wants a family, but a family who obeys and doesn't question him. This is not being mature....I would have slapped him hard for the things he told to Rebekah.

-SO MUCH LOVE FOR STEFAN IN THAT SCENE WITH ELENA!

-Crazy Ric has a stake...can I tell you that Ian’s delivery of “possibly mine” was all kind of hot????


Characters
-Ric
I liked him better in this episode. The banter with Damon and the fact that they showed a little of that old complicity they used to share before Disturbing Behaviour. Ric was genuinely concerned about Damon during the episode, in his own manly detached way and I was happy to have this feeling back.
Now since looks like his crazy alter ego has the stake, he is actually a menace for all the vampires. And then the real possibility of him dying hit me hard. It was like a punch in my face. I don’t want Ric to die, but right now I see it as the most likely thing that might happen in the finale. What if he goes crazy and Damon/Stefan have to team up with Klaus and then kill him? What if Damon has to kill him?
Scary thought….

-Caroline
I used to love her endlessy in S2. In this season I still love her a lot, but I don’t know, something has changed and I see her flaws as more annoying. Anyway I loved her scene with Alaric and what she told him about her killing people when she turned. Let’s see what happens with her.

-Klaus
He is so screwed up and not less pathetic than Rebekah. Elijah is pathetic himself for being so naive when it comes down to Elena. I have to say I feel sorry for all of them btw. Their parents screwed up big time with them and they grew up in a hostile world which was afraid of them...but they had choices and they simply chose not to adjust but to live according to their instincts. They probably didn't even try to behave. Especially Klaus. He doesn't want to connect with people. He doesn't want to live a normal life. If Caroline is the trigger to push him to look inside himself and not be scared to deal with what he sees, then it's welcome. I do really enjoy Caroline/Klaus interaction...but if Caroline has just to be a girl he fancies over, then it's wasted. Caroline deserves better than this. I love Klaus because he's fucked up, ecause he has been rejected and betrayed by his own mother...but Klaus did have a choice. He knows people who chose differently, like Stefan. I loved what he told him ““Do you really have no appreciation for me? I have given you someone to hate, to loathe; a target for all of your anger so you don’t have to turn it on yourself. I have given your life purpose as your friend… I really think you should be thanking me.”… Klaus just didn’t have any reason to try to get to Stefan. He knew Stefan would have not killed him, so why did he say those things? Because I believe Klaus thought to have a friend in Stefan, who, like him, was not able to accept himself and who went for the easy “killing without remorse” way…but then Stefan changed, lived in denial for decades and now he is learning to accept himself…Klaus has lost the only person he thought could get him. So the whole point with Klaus is that the worse he behaves, the more he is hiding.
Klaus path to recovery is long and he is not even close to accept the idea that he needs to heal. For now Klaus is “I want this, I take this. None can question me”. Let’s see if he is going to evolve. Stuck characters are not for me and Klaus has GREAT potential.

-Rebekah
I think she was meant to be a witch…and then she was turned into a vampire. I feel like she has been rejected even more than Klaus himself, because she’s young and desperate. She craves for love and attention. She did really hope Damon was feeling something for her and when she realized she was used, she reacted as a young woman would. She wanted revenge, but she was still looking for attention. The way Klaus treated her was horrible. If one of his siblings is a menace for him, he is ready to kill them off. He wasn’t sorry for Finn. He wasn’t kind to Rebekah. Klaus is filled with hate, Rebekah with the fear to be left alone. I just hope she can realize that family means everything, but that family has to change to fit the world where they live in.

-Elena
Not much to say on her. I just think she is not so good as everyone seems to believe in the show. The Elena is good and caring. She is compassionate, but she is also selfish, manipulative, a liar. She is all of this and yet she is just a 18 years old, who is terrified to be abandoned (hence her way to connect to people who worship her) and who's trying to deal with her crappy life.
The letter Elijah wrote her annoyed me to no end, while it was mostly welcome by the fandom, because it was not believable for me that an old vampire like him would be so fascinated by a 18 years old who sold him out. While it's more acceptable that Bonnie forgives her, it's less obvious for me that other, more mature characters (as Ric and Elijah should be) can accept whatever she does without considering her accountable for it.
I was honestly disappointed by the lack of interaction with Damon after he was rescued and I did not like that her rescuing Damon was just a hallucination. But I am patient and I can wait, so I am keen to consider this one of those episodes which sets things in motion and don’t be bother too much by the things that actually annoyed me.
It’s pretty clear to everyone that Elena loves Damon too. Stefan is aware of it. Caroline and Bonnie too. Matt pretty much stated it out loud. The only two persons who seem to ignore it are Damon and Elena…but she is less in denial than Damon is. She can be scared to admit her feelings, but she knows she has some. It’s Damon who really thinks she has not.
One more thing: the scene between her and Stefan was beautiful, but it wasn’t heartbreaking imo.

Anyway, I think the writers are trying to slowly develop the complexity of her character and I am enjoying this.

-Bonnie
She always gets the short stick, doesn’t she? She is like Damon…if a character has to be hurt, it’s either Bonnie or Damon. If it’s not Abby, it’s Jeremy…I don’t really think she had any other chance that breaking the spell.
Immediately after the episode, I was pissed at her because she refused to help Damon but then after some re-thinking I changed my mind. When she saw him tortured, she was horrified. I fully believe she would have helped him if she wasn’t sure that Klaus and Rebekah would stop her. If she wanted to have revenge, she could have not called Elena and tell her about Damon, but she did. She did want to save him. I am not a Bamon shipper, but I do like their interaction and I do really want a scene with the two of them together because they do have chemistry and potential.

-Stefan
Awwww this boy. I heart him. I do. I loved him bitching about whittling the wood. Loved the complicity with his brothers when Ric told them he wanted to go to the sheriff. How for both of them, murder is a nonissues. How they know they are different from the humans. Yet so alike.
I totally enjoyed when he told Elena not do anything because he knows that if there is ever a hatched plan, Elena will screw up with it somehow. He was not ignoring the fact that Damon needed to be rescued, he was just trying to keep her out of it. Stefan was right, Damon told him to stop saving him, especially if this means to save an Original, but I also loved that Elena response’s was practically “screw what your brother wants, we must save him”. See, love?
Stefan really couldn’t deal with seeing his brother tortured, could he? Botherly love FTW!
But the scene he shared with Elena? Made of win! Because it’s the first time they have been so open and honest to each other. Stefan knows he can’t ignore Damon’s role in Elena’s life and he is not living in denial. Such a progress for him. I love my Stefan.

-Damon
Missed him around more in this episode. I loved everything he did, everything he said. I love how vulnerable he is, behind his façade. Everything he wants it’s to be loved by the woman he loves, but he is willing to give up to make Stefan and Elena happy. I want him to realize that Elena feels something for him.
I want him not be scared again. I want him to fight for what he wants. To stand up for himself and his feelings.
I was sorry he didn’t get some tender loving care after the torture. I wished so hard that the hallucination scene was true, because Damon needed it. But mostly because, me, as a viewer and a Damon fan, felt like he deserved some recognition for who he is and for what he does.
When Elena didn’t mention him in the list of the people who did not ask to become a vampire, I felt sorry because he really did not ask for it. Stefan did more than him. He wanted to die, because without Katherine his life was meaningless (and here we could start another chapter)..so Damon did not deserve the indifference I felt around him in this episode.
I know it’s not like that, I know both Stefan and Elena, even Bonnie, wanted to save him but it was like they were all pretty sure Damon was not going to die and save himself somehow… they were waiting, they were not frantically try to save him..I don't know how to explain this...I just know he is not the worst person in MF. He deserves love and respect. If he left, they would be all dead.

I feel like Damon and Bonnie have in common a lot more than meets the eyes….


ETA
On the whole Damon wanted/did not asked to become a vampire, this is what I think:
re Arabian comment below: You know I was thinking the same thing. When he told Elena none forced him to love Katherine, he was exactly saying that it was not Stefan's fault if he turned.

That's why I said that at the very end, Damon did want to die because he thought Katherine was dead and he did not want to live the eternity without her.

I tried to explain it in the second part of my post. Damon didn't want to turn when he did because Katherine was dead. Stefan, who needed to be compelled, wanted to turn and chose to turn because his dark side was stronger..so at the very end, imho, they both chose to become vampires.



All in all a good episode, which set things up for a lot of possible choices...can't wait!!!
