But Damon doesn't know what will happen in the future. of course he can say that know because he LOVEEESSS!!!! Elena...he does not have any kind of feelings like that towards Bonnie. So I didn't see that as a big moment because isn't that something we already knew??? now if he said that about Katherine to Elena then we can actually be talking about something major.

I do believe he will choose her cause of his love for her which I am not denying but he can't really speak for lets say three years down the line when feelings can be involved. Right now Bonnie would gladly let Damon die for Elena as well so they actually agree on that one...

hell to pay

That's what I love about Stefan. He not only cares about Elena and her safety, but he cares about the people she cares about and he's shown us that with Bonnie, Jeremy, Caroline

Preach. Because Stefan knows it would devastate Elena to lose any one of those three.

He didn't let her best friend die.

We all know if it came down to it stefan would do the same. He killed Vicky to save Elena once upon a time. Damon's just not gonna lie to her and tell her "Yes, Bonnie won't die Elena, i promise" No.. she told him Bonnie wouldn't die for her, and he said if push came to shove, she just might.. it's not like he wants Elena to suffer and lose her BFF. It's a possibility though.

I think the always was directed at everyone.. And again, he was just replying to Elena telling him Bonnie wouldn't die for her.

I really didn't see that directed to everyone on the show. I just saw it directed to Elena and Bonnie....

^ I saw him choosing Elena always.. as him choosing Elena always

but yeah.. i just wanted to come say i missed DE and i loved what we got

No, not tonight but he said he would have no qualms about letting it happen. How in the heck is Elena supposed to view him with stars in her eyes?

I don't think you can compare Elena's relationship with Vicki to her relationship with Bonnie. Bonnie is Elena's bff while Vicki was some girl she saw at school.

If he didn't mention Bonnie I might have saw it that way....but I just saw it as if it came down to Bonnie and Elena he will choose Elena and not a big surprise. Bonnie will do the same BUT if he meant he will choose her always, over everyone then I guess we'll see as time goes on...

You can't kill me!

Abso-freaking-lutley and that is why Stefan will always be my fave I love Stefan sooo much. He cares about everybody that Elena loves and has proven that many times

in a daydream

Yep. Me too

Pretty sure it was implied at least to me that he meant above anyone. Its not really surprising tbh. I think the only other person he might hesitate in choosing over her would be Stefan.

Damon doesn't want Bonnie to die.. He agreed with ELena that he hopes there is another way, but if push comes to shove.. Bonnie has to go.. And I feel there is no difference between Elena sacrificng herself for her family and friends.. Which way it goes.. there is not a great answer for the outcome of Bonnie's or anyone life.. and it is not like Bonnie didn't want to sacrifice herself..

that's why I love my boy.

Damon is not letting Elena's loved ones die either. He is the one who helped SAVE them tonight .He is saying, if it came down to choosing between one of them or her, his choice would always be her. As would Stefan's. Stefan is NOT going to allow Elena to die just so Bonnie can go on living happily. And I have not seen Stefan have a real personal investment on Elena's friends where he can't give up on any of them over Elena (maybe in time Caroline will become equally important for him, though). They are Elena's friends and loved ones so he'll protect them, for her sake. Which is not different than what Damon is doing. It doesn't mean Stefan will stand aside and see Elena die instead of one of her friends. There is a reason BOTH brothers refuse to let Elena sacrifice herself for the greater good of all. Stefan couldn't even stand breaking up with Elena for real for the sake of her family before when Katherine was threatening and even after Jenna was hurt it was up to Elena to call it quits as he just could NOT bring himself to do it. He is not likely to allow Elena die instead of one of her friends when he can't even break up with her despite one of her family member's being hurt. It is as simple as: Would Stefan go to rescue Elena or Bonnie if a vampire was about to snap their necks each? I'm pretty sure he'd be going to save Elena, not Bonnie.

Damon totally rocked this episode. I how selfless he is. He is willing to be the bad guy, he is willing to be hated, to be blamed for everything. As long as it gets the job done, and keeps Elena and everyone else safe, he'll take it. He is not just talk. He has the guts to make important life and death decisions, and get his hands dirty. He IS a true leader. And I think this episode made it more obvious than ever... There is a reason Klaus' casting sides described him as someone who can "out-Damon" Damon. And in their first battle of wits, Damon won.

I love his "Klaus is NOT winning tonight" line. He was NOT going to let Klaus kill Bonnie or Alaric. Thus the ruse. Damon knows thinking Bonnie is dead and there is no one who can harm him, Klaus will show up in person now, and so maybe leave Alaric be (thus Alaric will be saved as that seems to be the only possibly way to get Alaric back). And when he least expects it, Bonnie will be there to strike at Klaus. So he didn't keep just Bonnie alive this episode, he kept both Alaric and Bonnie alive.

His selfless love, his courage, his cunning, his leadership, his ability to make important decision on the spot at the worst times, his ability to party while keeping an eye on EVERYTHING and outsmarting the oldest, evilest, wisest vampire there is. It is why he is the best character in TVD for me. And of course, I love his ability to make Elena forget about her worried for just a moment and genuinely have fun and laugh even at the direst of situations.

Matt Davis finally got to show his talent. He is great as Klaus. I do hope Klaus will leave Alaric's body without killing him. Damon's "we need to kill the REAL Klaus" line made me happy. I don't think he was very much into trying to kill "Klaus" now but would rather have the man show up in person so they can kill him. His plan was meant to save BOTH Alaric and Bonnie tonight and he did outsmart Klaus and seeing him back in form was great. The casting sides for Klaus described him as someone who can "out-Damon Damon", in this round, Damon wins. Klaus getting a bit offended when Damon told Alaric he was not impressed with Klaus so far was priceless. Both Klaus and Damon had some great lines this episode, can't wait for those two meet one another in person...

“What are we twelve?”- You tell them Damon dear, seriously this whole fake “ohhhh, I totally forgot you guys were vampires and need invitations. Hehehehe” bit of Elena is getting boring. It does show the “Katherine/Petrona” in her though, how the moment she has some power over them she is loving it. “Obey the owner of the house”? SERIOUSLY? They gave you the house as a means of protection Elena, it IS still very much THEIR home...

I don't understand why Stefan needed Damon's nudging to decide he'd accompany Elena to school. He IS enrolled at it, and there is an evil vampire out looking for her. It should be kind of a given that he'd be going to school if she is. Guess he really hates highschool...

Ohh, Elena, correcting Alaric in class calling him Ric. He is partly to blame, though... Glad to see her revive Elijah!!! Gutsy call! Just like Damon will do anything to protect her, she'll do anything to protect her loved ones and both will take action before they explain stuff to others just so they can't ruin their plans, and I can't really fault them too much about that.

I feel sad for Caroline and Liz. Liz is so used to hating all vampires that finding out her "baby" became one is killing her. I really hope she comes around soon, just like she did before.

Bonnie and Jeremy are starting to really grow on me.

Klaus calling Elijah "buzzkill" was great. I was reminded of Damon calling Stefan "buzzkill Bob". And I think he called Alaric "Safari Sam". Heh. Klaus does seem to be crazy and it is quite the contrast to Elijah's "calm" cruelty and kick-assness. Katherine begging to be killed was sad. Looks like Elijah will be saving her.
