I agree that it's important to take responsibility, but she took all the blame. That wasn't merited. Beyond that, Stefan has done far worse to Elena than she has to him, so I'm not sure that she "owes" him anything. All she did was develop a crush on his brother (mostly when he was out of the picture or being a

No, you're appearing as "Brax." NuDisqus does weird shit all the time, so get used to it!

Ha! No, I just make my boyfriend watch shows sometimes because we're super-codependent. I assume you're familiar with the AVC significant other portmanteaus.

@3366f2c1f436dfb4c69a321ceb26ca28:disqus What was your reaction, as a guy, while you were watching the Amnesia!Stefan/Elena scenes? I just showed SatHim the episode and he got pretty angry/annoyed with Elena, as was I. I think the show was trying to make it look like they can't help the chemistry, but as far as I was

It was certainly nicer not to tell him he was being a jerk, but think of how he must have heard lines like, "You were the perfect boyfriend." He thought she was taking him on a romantic journey through memory lane that would end in a kiss. Explaining why they didn't work, along with explaining that she was with Damon,

Silas was infected with a toga virus last episode! Because of the toga! Get it?

Oh, I hope you don't think I believe girls are required to kiss every guy they flirt with. Not at all. Just that guys don't like rejection.

That's such a good earworm that I don't even need to listen to the song!

Yeah, a lot of the sexual jokes flew right over my head. I watched it on The Disney Channel again when I was in high school and I couldn't BELIEVE how raunchy it was. I call that a win.

Yes! Dodgeball is basically Heavyweights for grownups. They're both loads of fun.

As much as I love these songs, I really can't see myself enjoying them that much out of context. Especially stuff like "Big Yellow Joint"— completely reliant on visual humor.

Obama has no white dogs.

Yeah, assuming they can FIND the mall. Men be all reluctant to ask for directions, yo.

That would be great, especially if we get a nice Gollum-esque scene of Matt talking to Gregor in a mirror. It'll never happen, of course, but it would still be great.

I'm not sure that it's deliberate, but it's definitely conspicuous in its absence.

To be fair, Elena was flirting with him the whole time. I hated those scenes, but I can definitely see where he'd be pissed. Human guys get mad when they don't get to kiss girls; I can only imagine it must be a zillion times worse for vampire guys.

Also, note that it starts getting good by episode 5. The first few episodes are a bit of a slog, but the payoff makes them well-worth the effort.

I also didn't like her taking sole responsibility for the breakup. It wasn't JUST that she turned into a vampire; it was that he was being a judgmental asshole, even after all the work she did to help deRippahfy him. He had ridiculously high expectations for her. And there was the whole sire bond thing, but I prefer
