I just don't know what to think now. Ok, I still have the opinion that Stefan and Elena is really boring. I don't know, there is just no "click". Damon is going back to the dark side, right? does that mean that he will go back to NOT being friends with Elena? This love/hate relationship has got to start getting somewhere. C'mon!
No Bonnie or Jeremy. I missed Jeremy, I did not miss Bonnie, she's so boring this season, always ploting and stuff.
Oh sweet Caroline.. I love Matt (apparently so do you) and watching the preview of next weeks episode I guess he really IS the right choice. He is a guy, he can take a rejection.. Tyler - not so much.
In the end I was thankful that there were only 30 seconds of the boring couple, and at least we got to see Paul's abbs. as for the rest, Damon stole the show, once again.
Yeah, this is Damon's show, who else?

Okay, For those that are "reminding" Matt Richenthal that a werewolf/vampire/human thing has been done before....I am thinking he was being sarcastic...like "yeah, we haven't seen THAT before."
Thank you to those who reminded me about the dream-controlling bit...I was actually as confused as the reviewer until I read this and remembered the other instances.
Also funny, is that I didn't realize that Bonnie and Jeremy were missing until way after I watched the episode...I guess they just weren't pertinent to this particular story!
I am adoring this new layer to Damon and it makes sense that he would miss his humanity as Stefan turned him against what he really wanted (though, arguably, he didn't really want to be a vampire because he thought Katherine was dead and there was no point). Ian Superhotter did a great job of making the character believable and I felt the angst.
However, I am starting to feel Stefan's character falling flat. I really loved the character at first a

Damon sucks! I cannot believe people feel sorry for him after everything that he has and continues to do. This show is turning into a Damon show and it's boooooring...
More Elena and Stefan together please. That's the reason I watch this show!

Wow poor damon nothing ! After all that he's done it's so easy to feel sorry for him ? Really ? Everything that happens to him is his fault and karma! Okay so he makes this confession, and what now he's going to prey on that woman ??? That's attractive to you? His treatment towards anyone but elena is deplorable. The guy is a tool. I don't get it at all. I can't even feel sorry for him. I know he's going to be acting out due to rose's death but he doesn't have to revert into the one person elena hated the most.
Wtf is TVD doing -_-

I totally cried my eyes out on this episode! ;( Elena is getting kind of boring together with Stephan, like, I know they are happy and all but, COME ON!! How does she sees Damon suffering and not chooses him instead?! She can't love him the most, I know and feel extremely sorry for him, tough...

Well i loved the episode except that it focused too much on rose which was expected but still....i LOVED The corny but sad scene where Damon cried it was so sad to see him cry...but it was too the first time he shows emotions for someone besides elena....i think nobody saw that coming that Damon wants to be human bcz he never showed it....although i kinda missed the whole Elena/Stefan "action" and werevolve action i still tyhink it was great and cannot wait til next week AND Feb.10 when Stefan and Elena go to her lakeside house:)

What's funny is that I totally forgot about Jeremy and Bonnie until I came here^^ a non-Bonnie hour is always good to take for me xD
I didn't cry for Rose but it was sad to see her and I totally understand that we needed to see her died "slowly" (I mean, not after 5 minutes of the episode=no impact)a lot of people have died in that show (not important one (I am speaking about vampire mostly) but still) but I never cared, because it was way to fast.
As a lot of people here, I hate Jules. I mean ok she has the right to be mad about Mason and wanting to have revenge for him (=kill vampire)but she killed humans and she couldn't care less. For me, she just is a bad person and of course Tyler is gonna be enroled by her and probably be turn against Caroline...aarrrggghh! I know Caroline lied to him but she truly cares about him whereas Jules makes her appear as an evil-planning vampire...But this is drama and I can't be negative about it because VD writers delivered us, once again, a great

I thought that Lauren did an amazing job in this episode, and I think Ian did an amazing job to. I'm gonna miss seeing Lauren on the show (Rose) she's an amazing actress, and one of my favourites.

I think that Damon could control Rose's dream, because she let him do it. But I think that the dream sequence was corny - I didn't like it.
I didn't like the last scene too. I feel like it was forced.
But... The rest of this episode was AWESOME!

@Everyone Who Reminded Me About the Dream Stuff: 1. Thank you. 2. I did not forget about the (HOT!) example of Katherine doing that, but I was under the impression it could only be done by an older, more powerful vampire.
This one still felt different, didn't it? Because both people were 100% aware they were in a dream, while the others were clear examples of one side manipulating the other.

@ Matt Richenthal
You forget. Remember season one ep 2 when Damon gets into Stefan's head, making him dream that he was attacking Elena? Remember Stefan trying to stake Damon after that and Damon stabbing him back? "This is Jon Vervatos, Dude. Dick. Move."
Remember Katherine getting inside Stefan's head and showing him Damon and Elena playing pool and kissing? UGH, remember the Statherine sex Stefan dreamed about courtesy of Kat just a few eps ago??? C'mon. Don't write of the most painful and heartening scene of Vampire Diaires since Damon's ILY. It showed how unbelievably sensitive Damon is. And made me cry. AGAIN. God, what is with this show? It's reducing me into a mush of saccharin.
Also @ Matt Richenthal - rememeber twilight? Love triangle b/w vampire, werewolf and human? Granted this time the chic's a vampire but in the most basic sense....
Anyway, sad, beautiful, fantastic episode! And left me with tear tracks. Also the last scene w/ Damon and that girl was so FUNNY.

"That was a very strange dream within which Damon and Rose hung out, wasn't it? It was a touching scene and all, but it seemed to be an example of the show making up a supernatural rule. Since when can Damon control another vampire's subconscious in such a manner?"
TVD has shown Damon controlling Stefan's and Elena's dreams in Season 1. In TVD mythology, a vampire can do that over vampires who are (1) younger than they are or (2) weaker than they are because they don't feed on human blood.
The dream scene in this episode was in conflict with that mythology because Rose was far older than Damon by many centuries and she had already fed on three humans and drank bags of blood from Damon's stash in the basement. How was Damon able to control her dream then? I'm going to choose to think it was because Rose was already dying at this point and no amount of human blood could have saved her from the effects of the werewolf bite.

Yes, it was a sad episode yesterday. There were less Stefan and Elena because I like romantic but not lovely dovey. Damon was just so heartbreaking this episode and Jules play a great villian.

Everything is Damon's fault.....
Mason came to mystic falls, he didn't want a problem, so damon stabs him and causes a problem......Damon losing Rose....all leads back to damon being a jerk and stabbing mason and starting a blood war with the werewolves...
Damon lovers are just too blind to see that "But Mason hurt my baby blah blah blah" Cry me a river
oh my Damon...there are no easy times for you! I thought it was a great episode and yet another layer in the wonderful character of Damon...Ian was immense! I felt so bad for him and I so understood why he was freaking out in such a manner...I'm not sure he killed that girl but his torment was palpable and he's come a long way since the beginning of the series.
Oh and the dream manipulation has always been completely do-able on TVD! Anyhoo...so glad my favourite TV show is back!!

I really liked this episode!
I bet Tyler is going to hate Caroline and go full hate for all vamps just cuz Caroline lied to him. I HATE Jules. I want her to go die. I hope Damon kills her lol! And Rose wasnt a super favorite of mine but I must admit it was sad to see her go. Ian did awesome in this episode! Its a lot about him feeling and not wanting to. He played the crazy psycho serial killer bit at the end AMAZING and his crying looked genuine. I think hes going to start being more evil again now. I think thats what that set Damon up for. To go back to being the bad ass killer with no mercy, only this time he will be doing it less for fun and more because he has gone somewhat crazy... Wish they had had more explaining about John and Stephen in this episode tho. Can't wait till next week!
Elena : I just want to kill her. It's that simple.
