Your Heart Is An Empty Room

Nina Dobrev is so good. She says one line and we know she's Katherine and not Elena. So good.

Also, that dream was fantastic - and totally fanservice for all the Damon/Elena, Katherine/Stefan fans.

Can I just say that the toast that Damon gave to George Lockwood was weird? It felt like they'd forgotten that Damon also fought in the Civil War  (and that it would have been expected and almost beyond comment) or like they couldn't decide if they wanted to do something pointed about Damon deserting (which I would love more details on).

I am loving new, hardcore Stefan.

Ha, ha, Elena's 'awwwkwaaarrrrd' face when Jenna said, "I'll like Damon when he learns to keep his paws off you" was priceless.

Damon is hysterical when he's playing nice guy. I love his unnecessary 'she doesn't like me very much' regarding Jenna.

Oh, Caroline, please don't confuse Edward Cullen with Stefan. Seriously, it's not that hard and you're not that blonde. Oh, wait, nevermind, she'd projecting.

Katherine, sweetie, if you had to compel him after he realized you were a vampire, he didn't really love you, he loved the idea of you in his head. Damon, now, he really loved you, Katherine Petrova, the poor bastard.

Speaking of Damon, I think he's finally getting over Katherine. Which is kind of bad timing, considering that ELENA AND STEFAN ARE SETTING NEW RECORDS OF AWESOME.

THEY FAKED A FIGHT! THEY FIGURED OUT CAROLINE WAS A SPY! STEFAN'S CRAZY JEALOUS EX COULDN'T COME BETWEEN THEM!

(That said, it's looking like they might really go to the 'Katherine loves Stefan and that's why she's doing this' place and that makes me sad).

The seven days between each episode seem to take are really long time to pass, but I kind of love that because it stretches out the enjoyment of this show. Everytime I think about how I have eighteen episode left of this season, I become so happy.

I've decided that I'm going to let the episodes build up for a bit before I watch again. (Individually the rage blocks out the joy.) But I'll sit back and glee over your nicely not-too-specific reviews which highlight the bits that are aimed for every button I have ever had ever.

LJ ate my comment :( But.

I too want more backstory on Damon's desertion and I'm actually trying to write a Damon/Alaric fic around that concept. But I think the George comment was a subtle stab at that and hopefully means we'll get more.

I'm actually very concerned it was Damon's love that was compelled. Which upsets me. I am confused why Katherine even turned Damon though, or told him she was a vampire, if she loved Stefan all along.

I think she turned Damon by accident - she didn't planned to get caught when with Stefen (probably assuming that he'd go all out to defend her and get killed). Damon was probably an unfortunate coincidence.
