yes, exactly, so weird of him.. when I say I don't like damon, people always assume that I don't like him because he kills people and blah blah blah but this is the real reason I'll never respect damon because that's your brother's girl, have some respect for him.

Such a good and underrated episode. Thank you Rob for standing up for Stefan and pointing out Damon's hypocrisy. And I know Elena is conflicted about her feelings but I don't think Damon should be flirting with his brother's girlfriend, even under the circumstances (or should I say, ESPECIALLY under the circumstances since Stefan sacrificed being with Elena for Damon's life). Him throwing Elena in the water was so funny though 🤣 Also, the shirtless Alaric scene wouldn't have been weird if they hadn't made a point to wait like 5 seconds while Elena just stared at him and he looked down & realised he didn't have a shirt on. Poor Ray (RIP) and all the other werewolves.
It’s in Damon’s nature to be flirty. Even with Stefan around, he has flirted with Elena. And he LOVES her. He can’t help his feelings. It’s not his fault Elena’s developing feeling for him. Plus Damon is still trying to bring his brother back
@@ILuvMusic394 Flirting with random women is different than flirting with your brother's girlfriend though. He still shouldn't do it, regardless of his feelings or Elena's for that matter.
@@ILuvMusic394 That doesn't work as an excuse... If you love and respect your brother (or a close friend), even if you are a shameless flirt, you turn that shit off when it comes to that person's partner... And him being in love with her isn't a justification either... We can't control our feelings, but we can control our actions, and Damon crossing boundaries with Elena is 100% on Damon and 100% wrong... Fans love to point out the moments Damon has respected Stefan's relationship with Elena and has "backed" his brother, and while those handful of instances are always cool and awesome and show a positive side of Damon, we have to also acknowledge the other 95% of the time where Damon disrespects Stefan and Elena and their relationship by flirting with Elena and more, a lot more, like showing up naked in front of her or going thru her underwear or literally forcing himself on her... That shows a worse side of Damon and happens far more often, and therefor, have to be consider "the standard" for Damon... If we have to make a generalization (which I'm not usually a fan of) then it would be that Damon doesn't give a shit about Stefan's relationship with Elena... Also, the fact that Damon lost faith in bringing Stefan back and had to be convinced again, it's a bit of a: "really dude?... how many times have you fucked up and even hurt Stefan directly and he still doesn't give up on you?"
@@Alewaxon ehhh i disagree. As @heidos7 has said. damon has been flirty since the very beginning and stefan has been very present for most of it. and if we are being completely honest he hasn't actually done anything but make his feelings known to her. he hasnt kissed her even though he thought he did. (turns out it was Katherine) Saying Stefan sacrificed himself for Damon is funny. mainly because it's what he is supposed to do. just like Damon has done for him in the past.
@@erinjae8395 Saying that Damon has done it from the beginning doesn't make it right and it certainly doesn't mean that Stefan has been ok with it; they have fought several times about it actually... That just reinforces the idea that Damon quite simply doesn't care about Stefan in this regard... Also, the fact that it was Katherine the one he kissed doesn't change the fact that he though that it was Elena and still made a move on her, that's the point, that he though that it was Elena and still did it... And, let's not forget, HE HAS kissed her; or did you forget about that time when he forced himself onto her and, idk if I remember correctly, maybe killed her brother afterwards?... And what's funny is your expectation that Stef's sacrifice for Damon is "what he supposed to do", Like is something fro granted or implying it's something like the bare minimum he has to do, when, first, Damon has never made this kind of sacrifice for him (literally slaved himself to someone FOR HIM) and second, why doesn't this apply to Damon as well then? Why isn't "respecting your brother and his relationship" something that's the bare minimum that Damon is "supposed to do" for Stefan? Why isn't NOT GIVING UP and not having to be convinced to help his brother something that Damon is "supposed to do"? Because it does seems like the bare minimum, you know, if you are half decent person with some common sense
In Damn's defence, he gave up on Stefan because he's seen Stefan fall off the wagon and become Ripper multiple times over the decades and thinks he's switched off his humanity and that only time will bring him back. He was trying his best to bring him back but Stefan wants him to stop and successfully convinces him by killing Andy.
God Damon is such a good character but this episode very clearly proved my preference for Stefan & Stelena more 😅 Damon openly flirted and literally proclaimed his love for Elena WHILE she was dating Stefan and often told him to chill out. Not to mention him literally killing Jeremy because she rejected him 🙃 And ONCE AGAIN Damon is out there - knowing his brother did literally everything and basically sold his life away to Klaus to save him - only for him to continue to move onto Elena, slowly chipping away and wiggling his way into her feelings while Stefan is just being Klaus’ minion 😭 Damon is just a terrible relationship for Elena and he’s so selfish sometimes ugh. Can’t wait to see this mess continue to unfold. But I love the boys’ more positive energy towards Stefan! They’re hating on him less and I appreciate that 😅
Rob, Bryce, and Zuff, Bill Forbes, Caroline's Dad/Liz's ex was played by Jack Coleman. Jack was the recast Steven Carrington on "Dynasty" ( 1982 - 1988 ) and Noah Bennet on "Heroes" ( 2006 - 2010 ).
Tbh, Elena's out there because of Stefan lol He shouldn't have called her. Why go to the trouble of killing someone close to Damon and then call your girlfriend that you're trying to keep at a distance? It's an insane risk to be taking, considering she's supposed to be dead. The "I didn't call her." At the end is so childish lol like, "Dude, we all know you did."
What I love about Rob is that he recognizes that everyone just doesn’t care about people dying. That’s one of the things I hated about this show is how much they trivialize death.
i think it’s really weird and just not who elenas to claim she has feelings for damon beyond caring about him as person. he constantly pushes his way into her face or flirts especially when she’s emotional. so ofc elena’s would be a little confused but for 3 seasons she has said she cares about damon but LOVES stefan. and it’s annoying that damon will not leave her alone.
Damon pushing Elena into the lake gets me every time😂. And as usual Damon standing on business with Elena, he said yeah my brother saved me but that’s not gonna stop me from wanting his girl. Also I know that u guys kind of think it’s weird that Alaric kind of is basically Elena’s and Jeremey guardian in a sense, but I think it’s kind of sweet in a way, it’s kind of like his last thing to do for Jenna, with him being able to take care of her family, although I wish I could be part of the towns gossip and see what they think of that situation 😂. One last thing, tbh I be skipping Matt’s and Jeremy scenes, when I say I do not care for them, I mean that, in my opinion it’s like the writers are forcing them to have a plot since they don’t really give anything to the show, it’s like whenever I see them, I think I could be having some Bonnie content but y’all give me this 😒😑.
Yes I wanted their relationship to happen in second season and then I wanted her with Klaus and then I just wish Tyler had a better character arc, sigh
real, I was obsessed with the vampire and werewolf love story but he just got more irritating and I started wanting klaus and care together and it was best of both worlds but I was so upset cause I invested in them so much 😢
@@chi6454 I’m talking about OBSESSED like crying on the floor obsessed lmao 😂 my mom and I watched it so she would just be like “Are you truly okay?” 😂
24:22 also enjoy how happy Zuff, Rob, and Bryce get when they watch the delena moment at the end. damon pushing Elena in the lake sends me every time lmao. It's honestly the highlight of the episode. my delena heart went ballistic during this episode, the chemistry is insane. I also feel so bad for Ray and his pack, all of them turned into hybrids against their will, bled out and died horribly. Klaus is such an asshole for that man. he's such a good villain that I enjoy to loathe.
23:50 damon is an actual villain. stefan would’ve never given up on damon knowing the only reason he left was to save him. that line is creepy and taking advantage of a girl in a very vulnerable position/state. why can’t he just let her care about him as a friend and if it happens it happens. he refuses to let elena live a day on this earth without trying to get in her pants. why does he want to destroy everything stefan has???
i agree with everyone who says that damon shouldn’t have made a move on his brothers girl. but my gosh, i’m still so glad we got to see delena development this season. if this was real life, it would gross me out so much. but i can’t help loving the slow burn & forbidden love that delena is early on compared to what stelena is.
11:19 This scene when Damon pushes Elena into water. I recall my sister and I, just couldn't stop laughing hysterically so much that our mom came to ask what happened. Then, we watched its re-run just so that we could record it and laugh again. Ah, good times ! 😂
Elena admitted she was worried for Damon, didn't pull away when he got close and was kinda giving him the eyes... all which Alaric saw. I think that's what he meant when he asked if she knew what she was doing... kinda allowing herself to start feeling for Damon.
I just love the Delena scenes in this episode! Their chemistry in the lake scene is undeniable, this is the season where everything changes for them and its just amazing to watch
Yessss I was waiting for you guys to see one of the beeesssst Delena scenes everrr. And you did not disappoint!! I think that ending scene is one of the top 5 Delena senes in the entire show!!
I think the name of this episode is called “the hybrid” and the first episode of the season was called “the birthday” but this was an amazing reaction lol love you guys!💜💜
"I want you to remember the things you felt while he was gone," still gives me goosebumps to this day. the way Elena looks at Damon's lips like she wanted so badly to kiss him makes me go insane. the chemistry between damon and Elena is incredible. the journey of seeing damon and Elena's feelings starting to develop is so satisfying to watch. I also loved it when damon said "even in my darkest days, my brother won't let me die, so ill do the same in return." it shows how much damon cares for his brother and wants to save him. Damon's growth and development in these episodes are phenomenal to watch.
Lol Damon cares so much for his brother who gave himself up to save his life by making moves on his girl. Delena is just wrong by all means. Damon gets away with it because fans find him hot. That's it. Any justification is just them lying o themselves. He's a horrible brother.
@@samnabawy2731 he’s not a terrible brother at all. He loves his brother and that’s not gonna change because he has feelings for Elena. This a show about a love triangle and of course, it’s going to show both sides of it. This is a fictional show and love triangles happen in media all of the time. Cry about it, delena was always going to be apart of this show. It’s been there from the beginning, and we love damon because he’s funny, selfless, and cares for others even when he doesn’t admit it.
@@amberaugustine9948 I know what the show is about. Doesn't mean I can't critique when characters do something horrible or the writing is flawed. I can give you a whole list of why Damon is a had brother, easily. Doesn't mean I hate Damon, I liked him a lot in the first two seasons. However, redemption and growth would have been him realizing he can't steal his younger brother's girlfriend and be selfless. I'm not surprised you had no arguments other than its fictional and telling me to cry about it lol, Delena fans are too blind for objectivity. Ps, I'm not a stelena fan either, but stealing your brother's girl is just gross.
@@samnabawy2731 stop acting like elena is an object who can’t think, feel and act for herself. She is more than just the girl in the middle, she is an actually person with real feelings. Damon has done a lot of good things on the show, so you painting him as just the bad brother is just wrong. Stop saying stealing, they both have feelings for each other. You’re being misogynistic by calling Elena as nothing but a possession. You are clearly the one that’s delusional and blind here. There is a reason why majority of the fandom likes to ship delena so your comments don’t make a difference tbh.
@@amberaugustine9948 lol never said she was an object. She's also wrong. However, Damon opened that door by constantly making moves on her, including, forcing two kisses on her. Damon is a great villain who had a chance at redemption and the writers fumbled it. Its not misogynistic to say that he is trying to steal her from his brother lol he is, he admitted it. Gross. Damon's chemistry with Elena is overrated, he had a better chemistry with both Rose and Bonnie. You're too aggressive as a fan which shows your blindness, not mine. Damon is awesome, Elena is a good person. Delena is gross. My opinion. You give Delena fans a bad rap by going on the attack over difference of opinion lol.
This episode was really good. Klaus had such an epic fail with his hybrid creation and it was hilarious to see him frustrated. Now I am sure stefan knows who he is dealing with. Damon has found his way into Elena's heart without even putting much effort. who could've seen that coming lol. Poor Ric. his girlfriend is dead and now he is stuck babysitting sixth sense and an emotional cheater lol. I wonder who jeremy aka sixth sense is going to try and save. Ana or Vicky and how is he goingto break this to bonnie? Speaking of Bonnie, where the hell is she? ugh!! CW did her so dirty in these early seasons. oh and Tyler having a Jacob moment with his carol was insanely funny. her screams were so dramatic. and what's up with Caroline's dad?
I love their reactions to The Vampire Diaries😂❤, but what made me laugh the most was the end when Bryce said: "What?, What was that end" I laughead too much and more with their faces, Zuff"s laugh and when they said "daddy" HAHAHAHAHHAHHA i love it😂😂✨✨
That’s such a weird thought. By having Caroline say “daddy” they’re showing how shes still innocent and vulnerable and how she still feels like a little girl around her father
You guys got to check out "The Atypical Family" in your next reaction it's a new kdrama. It's a fantastic Korean drama that combines humor, heart, and a bit of fantasy. It’s got the kind of content that makes you laugh out loud one moment and feel deeply moved the next, This drama doesn’t just scratch the surface; it dives deep into the emotional struggles of each character. You’ll find yourself empathizing with their journey to regain their powers and navigate their personal challenges. I think you'll really enjoy it and find it both entertaining and thought-provoking. Hope you can react to it
Found your channel from RUclips suggestion .. reaction to The Idea of You.. staying/subbed because I've been loving these TVD reactions.. every episode every season. Awesome videos guys!! So entertaining.. I binge watched all of em.. looking forward to the next one 😆😂❤️ ❤❤
3 seasons in and I still don't get the whole Elena-Damon ship thing. I don't see or feel any genuine connection between them. Perhaps it's just poor writing or editing or acting, IDK. It seems like he's just there to further the plot in a less conceivable forced way or an attempt to throw a wrench in the relationship between Stefan and Elena. It's gotten weird and so forced that I'm considering not watching the rest of the show and just stopping here. In Twilight, the competition/struggle love between Edward, Jake and Bella made sense. I could feel the tension and was conflicted between who she was better off with or who would win in the end....but in TVD, i just don't see the big deal or the need for a ship between Elena and Damon. Damon as a character alone or in brotherhood with Stefan is very interesting and complex (would love a series just about the Salvatore brothers!), but when mixed in with the whole teen-drama ship competition, it just falls flat hard! I've really tried but could care less about ships or "Delena". The competition love triangle between Katerina and the Salvatore brothers even made more sense, felt real and more passionate!
I find the version of Elena who puts herself in danger to be very annoying. Rick is smart and logical, so is Damon, but Elena in these moments is like a child they have to babysit.
I'm not here for the Vicki/Anna ghosts storyline. They could have found a better use of Jeremy and Matt. Like Jeremy helping Elena and the others and Matt leaving town 😅
Succesion's Colin Stiles- lol. But the Bill actor, Jack Coleman, was also in Heroes (as a main character), The Office, Castle, Cow Belles, or he might just have one of those faces. (But his story in the next episode(s) is incredibly tacky given the character is gay) I still get a kick out of 7th Heaven's David Gallagher having been in last episode and this one as Ray Sutton. When Elena was calling Damon a caveman, she was referring to him roughly handling her and forcing her toward the car- I feel like we used that particular expression a lot more only 15 years ago... maybe it was because of the Geico commercials. Next episode, I feel like this is more of a teaser than a spoiler, is a fun venture to Chicago with some cool flashbacks and great character intros.
I wanna make a comment about Bill and the parallels I see with him in this storyline but I think I’m gonna have to wait until the next episode because the parallels kinda spoil it but yes he should be taken out
For everyone talking how Damon is a shitty person making a move to Elena... Remember Stepan was obsessed by her, stalking her before he introduce himself to her. And something really important Damon met her first and leave her alone
first of all she was not Damons girland second Stefan safe Elena he that it was Katherine and then when he saw how good Elena was and very diferent person from Katherine he fall in love with her its ok to like Damon but you people stop defending him for everything even Ian says always Damon is not nice guy like the fans try making him and defending him for everything
Meeting her first means nothing. Damon also stalked her, forced two kisses on her, killed her brother, threatened to turn her twice, and also made moves on his brother's girlfriend while Stefan gave up his life to save him. I like Damon as a character but Delena is just gross. Some of you Damon fans do jumping jacks to justify him being a bad brother. Its ok, you find him hot so you excuse his actions. Some of us can think critically and know that even though we like Damon as a character, Delena is just gross and he is not a very good brother.
@Anna-xi8hu there is no good brother in Salvatore or Michalsons ... but there is only hate for Damon's doings... where is the recognition about everything wrong that Stefan do? There is only pity for him. He is a funking stalkers. If he wasn't stalking her he wouldn't be at the bridge. And Damon was there too but let her be
@samnabawy2731 Stefan force Damon to become a vampire. What a great brother. If only all of you Stefan fans just acknowledge Stefan is not better or even only sunshine and rainbows maybe be us Damon fans will "stop" being us
are yall gonna watch the originals ? it would be kinda cool to start it when you get to season 4 episode 20 of TVD, its basically the pilot for the originals and some of the episodes work simultaneously with both shows !

And, let's not forget, HE HAS kissed her; or did you forget about that time when he forced himself onto her and, idk if I remember correctly, maybe killed her brother afterwards?... And what's funny is your expectation that Stef's sacrifice for Damon is "what he supposed to do", Like is something fro granted or implying it's something like the bare minimum he has to do, when, first, Damon has never made this kind of sacrifice for him (literally slaved himself to someone FOR HIM) and second, why doesn't this apply to Damon as well then? Why isn't "respecting your brother and his relationship" something that's the bare minimum that Damon is "supposed to do" for Stefan? Why isn't NOT GIVING UP and not having to be convinced to help his brother something that Damon is "supposed to do"? Because it does seems like the bare minimum, you know, if you are half decent person with some common sense
In Damn's defence, he gave up on Stefan because he's seen Stefan fall off the wagon and become Ripper multiple times over the decades and thinks he's switched off his humanity and that only time will bring him back. He was trying his best to bring him back but Stefan wants him to stop and successfully convinces him by killing Andy.
We missed the perfect opportunity for a Kill Bill joke 🤣🤣
God Damon is such a good character but this episode very clearly proved my preference for Stefan & Stelena more 😅
Damon openly flirted and literally proclaimed his love for Elena WHILE she was dating Stefan and often told him to chill out. Not to mention him literally killing Jeremy because she rejected him 🙃 And ONCE AGAIN Damon is out there - knowing his brother did literally everything and basically sold his life away to Klaus to save him - only for him to continue to move onto Elena, slowly chipping away and wiggling his way into her feelings while Stefan is just being Klaus’ minion 😭 Damon is just a terrible relationship for Elena and he’s so selfish sometimes ugh. Can’t wait to see this mess continue to unfold.
But I love the boys’ more positive energy towards Stefan! They’re hating on him less and I appreciate that 😅
Noo Stefan doesn't want Damon to follow him because he doesn't want Damon to get killed by Klaus
The song “Echo” by Jason Walker used to give me chills in that scene.
Rob, Bryce, and Zuff, Bill Forbes, Caroline's Dad/Liz's ex was played by Jack Coleman.
Jack was the recast Steven Carrington on "Dynasty" ( 1982 - 1988 ) and Noah Bennet on "Heroes" ( 2006 - 2010 ).
Tbh, Elena's out there because of Stefan lol He shouldn't have called her. Why go to the trouble of killing someone close to Damon and then call your girlfriend that you're trying to keep at a distance? It's an insane risk to be taking, considering she's supposed to be dead.
The "I didn't call her." At the end is so childish lol like, "Dude, we all know you did."
Exactly.
Yeah that was stupid!
What I love about Rob is that he recognizes that everyone just doesn’t care about people dying. That’s one of the things I hated about this show is how much they trivialize death.
ok
Elena being mesmerized by Damon is truly hot. 🔥
i think it’s really weird and just not who elenas to claim she has feelings for damon beyond caring about him as person. he constantly pushes his way into her face or flirts especially when she’s emotional. so ofc elena’s would be a little confused but for 3 seasons she has said she cares about damon but LOVES stefan. and it’s annoying that damon will not leave her alone.
Damon pushing Elena into the lake gets me every time😂. And as usual Damon standing on business with Elena, he said yeah my brother saved me but that’s not gonna stop me from wanting his girl. Also I know that u guys kind of think it’s weird that Alaric kind of is basically Elena’s and Jeremey guardian in a sense, but I think it’s kind of sweet in a way, it’s kind of like his last thing to do for Jenna, with him being able to take care of her family, although I wish I could be part of the towns gossip and see what they think of that situation 😂.
One last thing, tbh I be skipping Matt’s and Jeremy scenes, when I say I do not care for them, I mean that, in my opinion it’s like the writers are forcing them to have a plot since they don’t really give anything to the show, it’s like whenever I see them, I think I could be having some Bonnie content but y’all give me this 😒😑.
I’m not gonna lie my obsession with Caroline and Tyler’s relationship really messed me up when I watched this show with my mom lmao 😂
Yes I wanted their relationship to happen in second season and then I wanted her with Klaus and then I just wish Tyler had a better character arc, sigh
real, I was obsessed with the vampire and werewolf love story but he just got more irritating and I started wanting klaus and care together and it was best of both worlds but I was so upset cause I invested in them so much 😢
@@chi6454 I’m talking about OBSESSED like crying on the floor obsessed lmao 😂 my mom and I watched it so she would just be like “Are you truly okay?” 😂
@codygates7418 😂 well i was so obsessed that i still have day dreams about them being together today .....
@@chi6454 lmao yassss 😂
14:05 IM CRYING
The title is wrong here, it's supposed to be "The Hybrid" not "The Birthday"! 😊
🥸🙄
Anyone else gonna talk about how Tyler's mum basically has the same name as Caroline...
24:22 also enjoy how happy Zuff, Rob, and Bryce get when they watch the delena moment at the end. damon pushing Elena in the lake sends me every time lmao. It's honestly the highlight of the episode. my delena heart went ballistic during this episode, the chemistry is insane. I also feel so bad for Ray and his pack, all of them turned into hybrids against their will, bled out and died horribly. Klaus is such an asshole for that man. he's such a good villain that I enjoy to loathe.
...from there location, it would be a five hour drive to the smoky mountains in TN, just a causal drive for a casual hike.
23:50 damon is an actual villain. stefan would’ve never given up on damon knowing the only reason he left was to save him. that line is creepy and taking advantage of a girl in a very vulnerable position/state. why can’t he just let her care about him as a friend and if it happens it happens. he refuses to let elena live a day on this earth without trying to get in her pants. why does he want to destroy everything stefan has???
I love how y'all saw a blurry figure in all black and instantly went "DAMON" 😂
i agree with everyone who says that damon shouldn’t have made a move on his brothers girl. but my gosh, i’m still so glad we got to see delena development this season. if this was real life, it would gross me out so much. but i can’t help loving the slow burn & forbidden love that delena is early on compared to what stelena is.
Lol That TV reflection interaction took me out 😂😂
Have you ever watched Heroes? That might be where you recognise Bill from. He was Claire's dad - save the cheerleader save the world and all that aha
Knowing Rob he's probably seen at least a few episodes of heroes
He also made an appearance in The Office
11:19 This scene when Damon pushes Elena into water. I recall my sister and I, just couldn't stop laughing hysterically so much that our mom came to ask what happened. Then, we watched its re-run just so that we could record it and laugh again. Ah, good times ! 😂
Elena admitted she was worried for Damon, didn't pull away when he got close and was kinda giving him the eyes... all which Alaric saw. I think that's what he meant when he asked if she knew what she was doing... kinda allowing herself to start feeling for Damon.
Idk. “Caveman” kinda works as a comparison to how Damon was acting.
The actor who plays Bill was the cheeerleader's dad in Heroes. He's actually been in a lot of stuff.
I hope they watch "heroes" soon! One of my favorites
I just love the Delena scenes in this episode! Their chemistry in the lake scene is undeniable, this is the season where everything changes for them and its just amazing to watch
Yessss I was waiting for you guys to see one of the beeesssst Delena scenes everrr. And you did not disappoint!! I think that ending scene is one of the top 5 Delena senes in the entire show!!
YOU GUYS NEED TO REACT TO “I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS”!!,
I think the name of this episode is called “the hybrid” and the first episode of the season was called “the birthday” but this was an amazing reaction lol love you guys!💜💜
"I want you to remember the things you felt while he was gone," still gives me goosebumps to this day. the way Elena looks at Damon's lips like she wanted so badly to kiss him makes me go insane. the chemistry between damon and Elena is incredible. the journey of seeing damon and Elena's feelings starting to develop is so satisfying to watch. I also loved it when damon said "even in my darkest days, my brother won't let me die, so ill do the same in return." it shows how much damon cares for his brother and wants to save him. Damon's growth and development in these episodes are phenomenal to watch.
Lol Damon cares so much for his brother who gave himself up to save his life by making moves on his girl. Delena is just wrong by all means. Damon gets away with it because fans find him hot. That's it. Any justification is just them lying o themselves. He's a horrible brother.
@@samnabawy2731 he’s not a terrible brother at all. He loves his brother and that’s not gonna change because he has feelings for Elena. This a show about a love triangle and of course, it’s going to show both sides of it. This is a fictional show and love triangles happen in media all of the time. Cry about it, delena was always going to be apart of this show. It’s been there from the beginning, and we love damon because he’s funny, selfless, and cares for others even when he doesn’t admit it.
@@amberaugustine9948 I know what the show is about. Doesn't mean I can't critique when characters do something horrible or the writing is flawed. I can give you a whole list of why Damon is a had brother, easily. Doesn't mean I hate Damon, I liked him a lot in the first two seasons. However, redemption and growth would have been him realizing he can't steal his younger brother's girlfriend and be selfless. I'm not surprised you had no arguments other than its fictional and telling me to cry about it lol, Delena fans are too blind for objectivity. Ps, I'm not a stelena fan either, but stealing your brother's girl is just gross.
@@samnabawy2731 stop acting like elena is an object who can’t think, feel and act for herself. She is more than just the girl in the middle, she is an actually person with real feelings. Damon has done a lot of good things on the show, so you painting him as just the bad brother is just wrong. Stop saying stealing, they both have feelings for each other. You’re being misogynistic by calling Elena as nothing but a possession. You are clearly the one that’s delusional and blind here. There is a reason why majority of the fandom likes to ship delena so your comments don’t make a difference tbh.
@@amberaugustine9948 lol never said she was an object. She's also wrong. However, Damon opened that door by constantly making moves on her, including, forcing two kisses on her. Damon is a great villain who had a chance at redemption and the writers fumbled it. Its not misogynistic to say that he is trying to steal her from his brother lol he is, he admitted it. Gross. Damon's chemistry with Elena is overrated, he had a better chemistry with both Rose and Bonnie. You're too aggressive as a fan which shows your blindness, not mine. Damon is awesome, Elena is a good person. Delena is gross. My opinion. You give Delena fans a bad rap by going on the attack over difference of opinion lol.
This episode was really good. Klaus had such an epic fail with his hybrid creation and it was hilarious to see him frustrated. Now I am sure stefan knows who he is dealing with. Damon has found his way into Elena's heart without even putting much effort. who could've seen that coming lol.
Poor Ric. his girlfriend is dead and now he is stuck babysitting sixth sense and an emotional cheater lol. I wonder who jeremy aka sixth sense is going to try and save. Ana or Vicky and how is he goingto break this to bonnie? Speaking of Bonnie, where the hell is she? ugh!! CW did her so dirty in these early seasons.
oh and Tyler having a Jacob moment with his carol was insanely funny. her screams were so dramatic. and what's up with Caroline's dad?
You don't know what caverman means? I'm not english native speaker but we also use that word in my language to talk about a rough and wild man.
Bill just reminds me of Heroes. Save the Cheerleader, Save the World!
Damn, Zuff is looking good
The actor who played Caroline's dad was also the senator in the Office. Who married Angela and had an affair with Oscar.
Actor playing Bill was in Superhero tv series Heros
I love their reactions to The Vampire Diaries😂❤, but what made me laugh the most was the end when Bryce said: "What?, What was that end" I laughead too much and more with their faces, Zuff"s laugh and when they said "daddy" HAHAHAHAHHAHHA i love it😂😂✨✨
23:47 Good job "Elena" with the lines. ;))
I can't wait for Rebekah to come in. My favorite vampire after Caroline
Love her character!!!
20:29 😂😂😂 I’m back for more is crazy
Thanks, Bryce! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Zuff! 🧛♀ Joshua Butler directed.
Bill is Noah from Heroes.
Honestly the writers should have gone with dad not daddy at the end there it looked wrong when she was strapped to the chair in that dress
That’s such a weird thought. By having Caroline say “daddy” they’re showing how shes still innocent and vulnerable and how she still feels like a little girl around her father
no y’all just have a dirty mind ☠️
all hail king klauss 👑
You guys got to check out "The Atypical Family" in your next reaction it's a new kdrama. It's a fantastic Korean drama that combines humor, heart, and a bit of fantasy. It’s got the kind of content that makes you laugh out loud one moment and feel deeply moved the next, This drama doesn’t just scratch the surface; it dives deep into the emotional struggles of each character. You’ll find yourself empathizing with their journey to regain their powers and navigate their personal challenges. I think you'll really enjoy it and find it both entertaining and thought-provoking. Hope you can react to it
Hated Damon in that scene in Elena’s room lol dude is such a snake
When the episodes ending includes Damon in Elena’s room, you there’s gonna be some kind of confession 😂🖤
loving these reactions, this season is so good. 🤭❤️
Damon’s vampire age is 170 when the show started then 178 when the show ended. Stefans vampire age is 162 when it began and 171 when it ended.
Alarik looks like a mess because Jenna died…
Was Klaus not paying attention to Stefan's response to him saying Elena is dead? He had a oh sh*t don't let on she's alive look on his face.
Found your channel from RUclips suggestion .. reaction to The Idea of You.. staying/subbed because I've been loving these TVD reactions.. every episode every season. Awesome videos guys!! So entertaining.. I binge watched all of em.. looking forward to the next one 😆😂❤️ ❤❤
3 seasons in and I still don't get the whole Elena-Damon ship thing.
I don't see or feel any genuine connection between them. Perhaps it's just poor writing or editing or acting, IDK. It seems like he's just there to further the plot in a less conceivable forced way or an attempt to throw a wrench in the relationship between Stefan and Elena. It's gotten weird and so forced that I'm considering not watching the rest of the show and just stopping here.
In Twilight, the competition/struggle love between Edward, Jake and Bella made sense. I could feel the tension and was conflicted between who she was better off with or who would win in the end....but in TVD, i just don't see the big deal or the need for a ship between Elena and Damon. Damon as a character alone or in brotherhood with Stefan is very interesting and complex (would love a series just about the Salvatore brothers!), but when mixed in with the whole teen-drama ship competition, it just falls flat hard! I've really tried but could care less about ships or "Delena".
The competition love triangle between Katerina and the Salvatore brothers even made more sense, felt real and more passionate!
I find the version of Elena who puts herself in danger to be very annoying. Rick is smart and logical, so is Damon, but Elena in these moments is like a child they have to babysit.
I’ve been looking forward to this episode!
the birthday😔👆🏻
I'm not here for the Vicki/Anna ghosts storyline. They could have found a better use of Jeremy and Matt. Like Jeremy helping Elena and the others and Matt leaving town 😅
Succesion's Colin Stiles- lol. But the Bill actor, Jack Coleman, was also in Heroes (as a main character), The Office, Castle, Cow Belles, or he might just have one of those faces. (But his story in the next episode(s) is incredibly tacky given the character is gay) I still get a kick out of 7th Heaven's David Gallagher having been in last episode and this one as Ray Sutton.
When Elena was calling Damon a caveman, she was referring to him roughly handling her and forcing her toward the car- I feel like we used that particular expression a lot more only 15 years ago... maybe it was because of the Geico commercials.
Next episode, I feel like this is more of a teaser than a spoiler, is a fun venture to Chicago with some cool flashbacks and great character intros.
👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾👨🏾 0:06
Caroline can't catch a break. :(
Well, she needs a storyline, why would she be here then :D
@@gitanastanciauskaite3893 because she's the coolest vampire in town? :/ (I'm not including Klaus because he's a Hybrid or any of the Originals)
@@JordiVanderwaal I don't think You know what ,,cool" means then :D
03x02 “The Hybrid” *
Oh Klaus 😍
Damon Elena at the end is one of my delena favorite moments ❤
I wanna make a comment about Bill and the parallels I see with him in this storyline but I think I’m gonna have to wait until the next episode because the parallels kinda spoil it but yes he should be taken out
I need moreeeeeeee😂❤
For everyone talking how Damon is a shitty person making a move to Elena... Remember Stepan was obsessed by her, stalking her before he introduce himself to her. And something really important Damon met her first and leave her alone
first of all she was not Damons girland second Stefan safe Elena he that it was Katherine and then when he saw how good Elena was and very diferent person from Katherine he fall in love with her
its ok to like Damon but you people stop defending him for everything
even Ian says always Damon is not nice guy like the fans try making him and defending him for everything
Meeting her first means nothing. Damon also stalked her, forced two kisses on her, killed her brother, threatened to turn her twice, and also made moves on his brother's girlfriend while Stefan gave up his life to save him. I like Damon as a character but Delena is just gross. Some of you Damon fans do jumping jacks to justify him being a bad brother. Its ok, you find him hot so you excuse his actions. Some of us can think critically and know that even though we like Damon as a character, Delena is just gross and he is not a very good brother.
@Anna-xi8hu there is no good brother in Salvatore or Michalsons ... but there is only hate for Damon's doings... where is the recognition about everything wrong that Stefan do? There is only pity for him. He is a funking stalkers. If he wasn't stalking her he wouldn't be at the bridge. And Damon was there too but let her be
@samnabawy2731 yeah and our precious Stef is only flowers and sunshine
@samnabawy2731 Stefan force Damon to become a vampire. What a great brother. If only all of you Stefan fans just acknowledge Stefan is not better or even only sunshine and rainbows maybe be us Damon fans will "stop" being us
I know the actor playing Bill from the show Heroes. They really botched it at the end but for the most part I loved that show.
have y'all thought of reacting to teen wolf? dylan obrien will be your favourite
4:03 and that‘s the reason I can’t like any of them anymore, I used to be a Damon girly
Same thing with Klaus and the Jenna situation
Next you should watch The originals
Damon is such an L brother lol
I don’t care I love delena scenes 🖤
are yall gonna watch the originals ? it would be kinda cool to start it when you get to season 4 episode 20 of TVD, its basically the pilot for the originals and some of the episodes work simultaneously with both shows !
they said earlier they want to but they know it's after a certain point
There's some spoilers in your comments section, fyi.
People talking about characters from the spin-offs that haven't even been mentioned yet 🙄
❤❤❤
This show proves that men in Hollywood are unnecessarily sexualized as well. Alaric definitely didn’t need to have his shirt off
would u guys react to the walking dead?
You can just tell that those blood tears were so uncomfortable for the actors' eyes. It makes me cringe.
Delenaaaaaaaaa 💜 best ship and such a fun season
not daddy
I've never liked Сar but the next episode is so so hard to watch
