We need to keep in mind that according to Julie Plec the sire business has nothing to do with Damon or Elena's feelings for each other; it just means they have to navigate a bit to figure it out. And I know we Delena fans have been waiting A VERY LONG TIME FOR THIS, but it wasn't smooth sailing for Stelena, so we shouldn't really expect anything different for Delena. But it did spoil the moment a little bit, but Julie Plec's words after the show give us hope that they'll sort it in the end and we'll see that relationship being explored further, and Stefan and Caroline's eventual admittance that they were flat out wrong about Delena and apologies will have to be forthcoming...


pure RAGE. i was enjoying the episode up until those last few minutes about some nonesense sire-bond between vampires. it gave matt and jeremy more purpose in the show, the link between shane and hayley, the klaus-caroline tandem, and of course delena. then totally shut down by caroline. so random how she put the idea of vampire-sire bond together over drinks with stefan. those two blondes need to stop being so selfish and let elena figure out what she wants. they ruined the whole maturity of the break up as Matt had mentioned from his past review. tsk, tsk TVD writers.


I don't think this demonizes Damon. I don't think he even knows what's going on. He'll be more upset than anyone to find out. When it's said and done, Elena does love him. The bond just makes her less herself and I assume that's why she jumped into bed with him. Haven't read the books, not a â€� shipperâ€�. I am getting over poor tortured Stephen though. I want to see him be his own man.


Just watched the episode, My Brother's Keeper, and loved it. Finally Jeremy gets a decent storyline, instead of the male Gilbert damsel in distress. I thought this episode was going to obssess over Damon and Elena but wisely it focuses on Elena and Jeremy instead, something that's been missing since the beginning of Season Three. Is Jeremy acting out his own wishes when he tries to kill Elena, or is that just his hunter side?
Caroline is back to being her usual control freak self calling Elena out on Stefan and Damon, and as usual Elena gets the last laugh when Klaus shows up, making Caroline a bit of a hypocrite.
Loved the turning point, and I hadn't expected it to come so quickly. As usual any 'cure' to a curse, like the hybrid curse, usually involves the death of a major character, and in this case in order to 'cure' Elena, Jeremy will have to become a hunter, and probably die in the process. Great acting from Steve McQueen. Is Stefan so obssessed with turning Elena back to human that he'll use anyone he needs to, including the only family Elena has left. Of course Elena isn't going to want to destroy her brother just to turn human again, maybe she can start getting used to life as a vampire now.
Just a thought, with Jeremy a hunter, shouldn't Kol be watching his back from now on.


Matt, you have taken the exact words out of my mouth! I didn't feel like screaming when they slept together, even though I'm a major Delena shipper! I was really upset because Damon has been portrayed yet again as a womanizer and Delena is not actually 'real' anymore. It's not the Delena we knew. And that's the Delena I fell in love with.....




As I predicted, this love triangle is not going to end any time soon. I hated how Elena just jumps straight into bed with Damon after breaking up with Stefan, especially cause she admitted she still loves Stefan, it should've been given some time. Delena definitely has passion but I think it's mainly physical, I don't see them having that love and connection Stelena has.
I LOVED Klaroline in this ep, definitely a potential couple. Also loving Caroline and Stefan's new friendship.

Turns out "My Brother's Keeper" Turned out to be the WORST EPISODE EVER!!!!!!!! This had a very disappointing Delena scene(which got them all happy and crazy)that shattered the Stelena fans and Stefan's heart into millions of tiny pieces which then turn to ash. This episode has made "The Turning Point" feel like it never happened or existed and it's very depressing. I hope that things will get better later on in the season,have Stelena fans rise again(even though this memory will be left as a scar for them)and just have vampire diaries retelling the wonderful love story since season 1(and they better be right of this episode Delena scene feeling wrong). No matter how tough things get,true love(one that doesn't lie like Elena)will conquer them all(I blame Damon for messing up Elena's mind when deep down she's still a human with a loving heart even if she's a vampire. X(


@DiMyLovely, There is no need to be disappointed. 1st it has been clarified that Damon had no idea about this sire bond when he made love with Elena (and like you said Damon always wanted to be real since season ), 2nd this sire bond twist has been planned since season 3 when Damon mentioned the sire bond as an explination for Tylers obedience to Klaus and when they intentionally made Elena turne by Damon's blood and I'm sure they knew how to make things work out. Plus don't you remember how much things Damon and Elena faced but they always survive it and this one won't be any difference and the beauty of this twist for me is that it will erase any doubt and it will prouve that Elena's love for Damon is 100% real.


Sorry got cut off! Damon is usually quick to pick up on things, so I can't believe he wouldn't figure it out then that whole hot sex scene was really a disgusting rape scene. I don't like it! Damon wanted to keep things real with Elena since season one (remember Georgia, anyone?) I don't believe that Damon would do such a thing. Also, this is really something that cannot be fixed or undone. The writers have to tread carefully now. I have always like how true to character they keep everyone in this series, but this episode ruined that for me. I just hope it doesn't ruin the whole season.
