The Vampire Diaries. Season 2, Episode 8: Rose

I'm Rose. Trevor's hot but he's a cute head short now.

"And the elephant in the room lets out a mighty roar.”

At first, Damon is the bad-ass vampire. Then came psychotic bitch Katherine. And now, the Originals (who don't die when staked through the heart)—a whole new ball game. But the Originals sound like Volturri, okay, but I'm delaying judgment until further episodes. I trust the writers are aware that comparisons can still seep in between raves on its "quick-paced, we-can-kill-anyone-anytime" storytelling, and know what they're doing. I'm loving the English accent, though. It gives vampires a dignified somewhat regal rep.

Bonnie-Jeremy seems off and Tyler clearly destroys Caroline's new vampire image! And I don't really want the show to end up with everyone trading partners—eww. And to the stylist, never put Tyler's or any other guy's collar up again, please.

And this one reminded me of Caroline and Mama Sheriff's scene, only honestly romantic and Damon-ic:

"I just have to say it once. You just have to hear it. I love you, Elena.
 And it's because I love you that I can't be selfish with you."—Damon

I think Damon was inspired and moved by Stefan's 145- years-overdue but heartfelt apology for making him turn. Not surprised he's in love with her. Glad he finally confessed. But then he made her forget. Pffft.
