he's not suicidal as such, but he doesn't care about the outcome of his actions. which is one or two levels above suicidal, but depressing nonetheless.

[tragedy]

I too see it as him being reckless w/no regard for his own safety. It's certainly not very smart to taunt a werewolf

I know it's not a big surprise, but it's nice to know that TVD has been renewed for a 6th season.

[SiredToDamon]

I once heard TVD will only last for 6 seasons. Is that still the plan?

[imane]

we dont really know ...

[Litmusy]

I hope it ends after 6 seasons personally. They've drawn it out too much and as much has I believe DE deserves a lot more than they got, I'm really curious how they'll wrap stuff (my other word got edited and blocked) up.

[daydreamer88]

I personally hope TVD lasts forever

I'm obsessed with this show (even though I hated it last episode). I've never ever felt this way before

Quoting this post, but I've read all the others about that topic and I'm kinda responding to all of them

Now, there are also people who don't particularly care if they die or not and then act reckless. Even if Stefan or Damon himself were to admit to this theory, I still wouldn't think it made any sense. Even so, being suicidal is no excuse. Being infected with the syringe, however, is a good excuse. The suicidal theory is really unappealing, though. If this is what the writers had in mind for "badass Damon", then they really failed. I have no interest in seeing Damon and Elena back together if she's the one thing keeping him from seeking out death. It's one thing to proclaim that she's his life, which is sweet, but it's another to be so literal as to try to get killed after she left.

Mh, I think I wrote 2 or 3 sentences and was completely misunderstood. Nowhere did I state that him only living or being good for Elena would be healthy or anything. It isn't.
But I admit that I worded myself wrong too. I don't think Damon was suicidal, but he did not care anymore what happens to him which was stated several times during that episode.

Now if he could just stake himself on this show... sure... but this show is all about drama. Damon didn't want to complete the transition once he thought Katherine's dead. So even if Stefan turned him, why not staking himself? Instead he waited long enough to learn the truth from Emily. Or Stefan in s1 who wanted to starve himself to death? Doesn't work, only there for drama purpose, but you get what I mean. We can argue that Stefan only wanted to cause some drama fit. But I think we were meant to see that he wanted to die.
Now Damon could want to stake himself since he became a ripper (which is in character, as we've seen in 2x22). But as Damon stated himself 'karma' is happening to him. So I wouldn't rule it out that he'd go for the slow painful death to punish himself.

However, I do think Damon is at that part of journey right now where he has to learn that he isn't just capable of good because of Elena.
So I do agree with you that he shouldn't just keep himself in place bc of her. It's not how it works, it's not how it's supposed to be, it's not healthy.
I think he will learn that he doesn't want to harm certain people, even though 'Elena' rejected him.

I hope so. I'd like to see Ian go on to do other things

Second part of my post was about the general theory online that hypothesizes that Damon is suicidal purely because of Elena. The first part was in response to you. Either way, I maintain what I previously said; I don't see him being suicidal unless, like tragedy suggested, it was because of complications that would arise from being injected.

Alrighty, I got the feeling that I was misunderstood and it would be my theory and that I would love it, so I wanted to defend myself So it was a misunderstanding, but on my part. Never mind then

No new spoilers yet?

[LuvinJames23]

There's rumors going around that in 517 there will be flashbacks to the Pilot and what actually happened with the accident may be revealed. I hope not. I really don't want them to change anything.

Julie Plec already said in S3 that Damon nor Stefan had anything to do with it. She better stick to that.

[daydreamer88]

In season 4, Julie Plec tweeted something about the writing for the final episode of season 5 (I Think) was done. Anyone remember that tweet, who might can dig it up?

I've seen the speculation that the crash was caused because of the Doppleganger prophecy so they can be together, which I think is a pretty good bet.

Maybe someone stood in the road (a witch or something) and Elena's father swerved to miss that being or something like that. That way it can still be a non-supernatural related accident. But the reasoning behind it was more supernaturally driven.

Maybe it was Katherine that stood in the road...that's a throwback to the books I believe.

Don't have the actual tweet handy but I believe she said it was a total mindf&*%.

I am thinking it will probably be about not knowing Katherine from Elena or something like that. Like one of them is dead and the cliffhanger is we don't know who.
