I think you’re right about Jeremy’s need for a male figure in his life, but he also just seems to roll with the punches pretty well and I think that’s at the core of his acceptance of Damon. There is far less outrage from him than say from Elena at Damon’s actions because I think Jeremy’s more open minded about accepting Damon’s reasons behind his actions.

As for writing a fic about what’s in Elena’s diary… I’m not sure I’d know where to start about what might be in there! But I was actually thinking of incorporating this a little into Tabula Rasa… we’ll see what happens.

I have to say that though I am a die-hard Delena fan, I have definitely started to like Stefan more this season. not that I think he should end up with Elena or anything, but he’s turned into a much more complex character and I love it when they make him all Grrr and sexy.

Yeah they wrapped up a whole lot more than I thought they would. And yeah Elijah is definitely growing on me, I hope we see a lot more of him in the future.

I really love the Jeremy/Damon quasi-fraternal relationship. I mean, here’s the two characters with the WORST luck with their love lives: Jeremy, with a) Vicki, b) Anna, and c) Bonnie (who seems to be choosing an ostensibly evil “warlock” instead); and Damon, with a) Katherine, and b) Elena (who keeps choosing his brother over him). Both have fathers who hate vampires and siblings they just can’t trust 100% but love dearly anyway. They both willingly entered relationships with ladies they knew were vampires, and shifted their lives around that lifestyle. Really, I’d bet that if Damon tried to appeal to Jeremy, he could totally get Jeremy’s support in his pursuit of Elena.

But here’s what I’ve wondered a bit. Jeremy seemed to like Damon fine before he knew what he was (think back to the videogames and family night). Then he read Elena’s diary and yet he never seemed really upset with Damon. (Except that time at the Grill when Damon browbeats Jeremy for making Elena feel guilty about keeping secrets). Is Jeremy so desperate for a brother/father figure now that his dad is dead, that he won’t ever really disown Damon? I mean, Stefan’s never really stepped up and tried to be Jeremy’s friend or role model, but Damon has multiple times.

But when Jeremy read Elena’s diary, what do you think it said about Damon? Clearly it didn’t paint him as a total villain or Jeremy wouldn’t treat him the way he does. I’m thinking that diary gave Jeremy a unique understanding of Damon, because he could read what Elena observed but actually interpret it through his own experiences. I’ll bet he knew Damon loved Elena and that’s why he excused the whole compulsion thing relatively quickly on Damon’s part. I keep waiting for someone to write a fanfiction about what Jeremy might have read in Elena’s diary, but alas there are none –hint, hint Mystewitch

Rose can go die, and thankfully it looks like she will! Poor Damon, though; this would have been his perfect girl if only he weren’t already in love. Elijah’s my new favorite character, but I like Caroline more every episode. I also love Matt, and am therefore quite excited for 2.12 “Descent”–interesting title, isn’t it?

Even though I am definitely leaning toward an Elena/Damon pairing, I still love me a little Stefan/Elena too. At least we have a week-long marathon this week to revisit season 2′s first ten episodes.

I don’t know about everyone else, but this episode disappointed me a little. I was expecting more of a cliffhanger. I guess I’m not that attached to Rose, which is why I’m not dying to find out what happens to her. I’m also sad that the steamy cave scene was a dream, and I’m sad the writers let Stefan out of the tomb so quickly. I’ve been dying for some Stefan/Katherine and Elena/Damon bonding time. So much for that. I guess I just like the triangle and Jeremy and Alaric better than the wolves and the witches.
Elijah seemed pretty cool in this episode, I might just change my mind about him.
I also hope they don’t keep little Katerina locked up in the tomb forever, she’s much too interesting.
One last thing: did you see the extended promo? Oh Lordy. I wonder how Damon would react if Elena staked Rose in self-defense. Can you say complicated? Now for us to painfully wait for over a month for episode 12. Damned winter hiatus.
