Stefan’s choice in this episode is so controversial but I still maintain that he made the right call even if Elena hadn’t survived the crash. Elena was depressed due to survivor’s guilt after her parents’s crash, she spent most of s2 borderline suicidal because of everyone putting their lives on the line to save her. She would’ve been devastated if Matt died to save her and never would’ve survived it. Stefan saving Matt is probably the most selfless thing he’s ever done for her.
Yup, cause it's Klaus who's constantly tells Caroline how strong she is and always talks about her future. He's the only one whos ever seen her for who she is as a person and as a vamp.
Klaus Tyler said "leave or I'll make you leave" which is why he started transforming intentionally. He needed to "die" alone in order to sell the ruse so he basically threatened to kill her. The turning wasn't part of the "death."
Watching this finale live was INSANE! I was 16 and let me just tell you, it shook me to my core. Crying and everything 😂 waiting 5 months for the S4 premiere was horrible
The season 3 finale is one of the most iconic finales. The fact that damon and elena met first breaks my heart. I also can’t believe Stefan let Elena die, Damon would never omg. It was also so shocking that Elena is a vampire now.
I STRONGLY disagree. I'm sure if it was up to him he would've saved her but Stefan loves and respects Elena enough to follow her wishes and save her friend because he knows how much her friends and family mean to her. Damon could never.
@@Heida777 yeah, but like always … Elena puts her friends first & yet is hated by the TVD fans for no reason. She had no idea that she was gonna survive or be turned & yet she risked it all for Matt to survive because that’s the kind of person she is
@@SinStevie he knew she would die, there's no way her lungs could have waited for Stefan to save Matt then come back and save her... cmon now, it's obvious he's not dumb but I think he as a vampire that does feed on human blood now would be strong enough to save both of them yet, he decided to save Matt only which I'm not blaming Stefan nor I am a Stefan anti or any of that sort, I'm just saying he probably knew she was gonna die and that he could have saved both
@@SinStevie Stefan , of all people ,would know that Elena would be dead when he came back to save her after rescueing Matt. After all , he had the precedent of Elena's father dying after he had saved Elena in the first crash.
Elena really lost her life after bleeding through the brain because of Klaus pushing her head first on the steps after he just bled her dry & them gets killed by his sister Rebehka. Elena just can’t catch a break smh 🤦♂️. All because she got involved with vampires that wouldn’t leave her alone. You can’t help but feel for her, because she didn’t deserve any of this
@@magggmae not really. Anna said that she couldn’t believe that Elena looked like Elena despite being in mystic falls for quite some time in hidden until she could go with her plan to reunite with Pearl. Elijah who’s been scouring the earth with Klaus & Rebehka running from Mikael said to Rose & Trevor that it was impossible that there was a new doppelgänger from the petrova gang cause they thought that it had ended with Katherine when she became a vampire. So the world is a big place & add that no one was even looking for something they didn’t know existed. Elena would’ve been fine & unnoticed if not for the Salvatore brothers bringing her into this life. The fact that she was almost all of her life being unnoticed as a Katherine look a like until she got involved with the Salvatores proves that.
@@packedentertainment2866what?? did you really watch the show?? bonnie’s mom told that klaus’s dad showed in mystic falls years ago looking for elena and was her that put the spell on him and obviously katherine knew that there was another doppelgänger cause she dad a daughter before plus elena and stefan are both doppelgängers and there is a magic spell from the travelers that keeps putting them on each other’s path so it would happen anyway, it’s not because she meet the salvatores 🙄
@@ClaraAlmeida-f1i huh? When did that happen? With Bonnie’s mom? Also the Stefan & Elena doppelgänger thing never made sense for them to be attracted to each other every life time because Silas never ended up with Quetsiyah or whatever her name was. Stefan doesn’t end up with Elena or Katherine. So the doppelgänger thing of them supposed to end up together never made sense
@@packedentertainment2866 how do you think bonnie learned the spell she did on klaus that made him hibernate like mikael? it was her mom that told her how to do it, just go back some episodes and you will see! and this thing with the doppelgängers is a SPELL that the travelers casted to make them find each other so it will be easier to the travelers to find both the doppelgängers and use their blood to undo their curse, it doesn’t make them fall in love, just put one of them in the other’s path and they broke the spell (s06 I guess), and quetsiya wasn’t a doppelgänger, it was Amara, her and Silas were the first couple, the spell was made after that, because the doppelgänger thing just happened cause silas and amara became imortal so the universe made the doppelgängers to have versions of them that could die you really need to watch the show again
Ive been waiting for this episode to get your reactions a side from episode 10 and episode 19. Season 3 was definitely a ride probally my favorie season. Ric was a great character and his death was heartbreaking. Damon and Elena meeting first was a nice revelation in the finale when it aired. It was torture waiting for Season 4 when this was originality airing waiting through the summer to get new episodes.
Yes. This season has some of my favorite moments of the season. But I can’t wait till 6 when they meet the most attractive person to grace this series … Kaiiiiii 😍. Season 6 has some of my other favorite moments in the series because of him. Every time he was on screen was gold similar to most of the originals on tvd. This is why season 3 & 6 are my personal faves
YES!!! This marks a pivotal point in the series. From now on everything changes! This finale shook me to my core when I first watched it. I always knew Elena would become a vampire at some point but wasn't expecting it at that time or in that way. The car scene is weirdly very emotional and ridiculous at the same time. Elena is there fighting with Stefan and telling him to save Matt while she's literally drowning and wasting precious time. Also, why didn't Stefan help her unbuckle her seatbelt? And doesn't he have super speed? But Nina's acting along with the Sigur Rós song (which as an Icelander I was freaking out about!) made me cry so much 😭 And I'm sure if it was up to him he would've saved her but I LOVE that Stefan loves and respects Elena enough to follow her wishes and save her friend because he knows how much her friends and family mean to her. I also love this quote: "That's what love should be. You should love the person that makes you glad to be alive". I will ALWAYS be a Stelena shipper ❤ Damon: "You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger... I want you to get everything you're looking for". Elena: "When I'm with him, it just consumes me" As you know, I'm not a Delena shipper but the paralells are insane. Btw, I know it's been a long time since you've seen this Rob but how could you forget Elena dying and turning? I really thought you accidentally spoiled it! Fun facts: The plot to turn Elena into a vampire had been in the works since the series began. Initially, it was to be used by the end of the 2nd season. Elena dies exactly the same way she did in the books but it was Katherine who caused her death, not Rebekah. The ending scene when Elena is in the hospital's morgue and wakes up in transition is very similar to the scene where Bella wakes up as a vampire at the end of Breaking Dawn Part 1. This is the highest rated episode out of all 8 seasons. The initial airing attracted 2.53 million viewers. Goofs: Stefan and Matt state that Damon is a 100 miles out of town and cannot get back within 1 hour. However, as shown multiple times throughout the series, Damon is capable of running so fast that he would have been able to return to Mystic Falls well within 1 hour. Also, Alaric is called Elena's guardian but she has already turned 18.
Y’all thought season 1’s finale was insane (way more than season 2 imo) & then this happened. Season 3’s finale is easily one of my favorite episodes of TVD along with the last 2 episodes of season 6
Agreed, this is one of my favorite episodes but also the season 1 finale & the ghost episode where Anna reunites with Pearl, Anna’s death & her reunion with Pearl always makes me tear up when watching this series. Also every episode involving Kai later on … which speaking of … no spoilers but I found it funny that they didn’t believe for a second that Elena was dead-dead & was written off the show because there’s no way they’d write her off since she’s the main character 👀. I can’t wait for them to get to the later seasons. 4 has Nina Dobrev’s best performance in one episode in particular after a certain thing happens in an episode about grief where funnily not much happens in the episode but it’s an extremely powerful episode, I can’t wait for them to see that episode cause I feel like it’s gonna break them like it broke me.
Idk which one it is, but my fav ep is the one where Elena‘s dancing in that purple dress with that special someone. 14 year old me couldn’t handle that scene
"you want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger." I love the shocking reveal that damon and Elena met first. They instantly had a connection and a deep bond and it is so sad that damon compelled her memories away. damon was so sweet with Elena, and it shows how much he wanted Elena to have a good life before everything happened. one of the most iconic delena scenes in the show.
But then he went on to immediately starting tormenting her and her friends. Episode 1 is the crow and the fog. IMO the Damon and Elena meeting first was retcon, because it actually doesn’t even make sense.
@@KS1211-gd3vl it’s not a retcon, just because you don’t like it. They met first and that’s a fact. And secondly, damon has changed from what he was in season 1. And even in season 1, you can tell that damon cared strongly for Elena. Even when he was the “villian” at the beginning.
@@amberaugustine9948 I can feel it was a retcon. We can have a difference of opinion. If he truly wanted all those wonderful things for elena, he wouldn’t have terrorized her, her friends, and her family, IMO. The scene didn’t make sense to me personally. And of course Damon cares strongly for elena now. I’m simply saying that the “meeting first” just feels contrived to me.
@@KS1211-gd3vl you can tell that Damon’s humanity was slowly coming back with his moments with Elena in season 1. He cared about elena even back then so their first meeting makes the most sense to me. He even mentioned Elena being a dead ringer for Katherine the pilot when he talked to Stefan. It implies that he knew her from back then.
Yeah, I would’ve preferred Matt. It was obvious that he tried but couldn’t do Klaus’ accent at the end of the episode which is fine because not everyone can do different accents other than their own
@@jennaragsdale5593the point is that as someone who cares deeply for Caroline, it makes no sense for Bonnie to tie him to Tyler considering the position that puts him in.
@@jennaragsdale5593 i agree that it makes sense from a story telling perspective due to the reasons you listed. But it still makes no sense that she would pick him for her character, so I understand why people are confused.
the fact that stefan and damon represent such different ways of loving here with the drowning situation. i love damon as a character but i've always had a soft spot for stefan because of the decisions he makes. no matter how much i loved elena I'm the type of person that would respect her wishes even if that means i'd have to let her go.
Frfr. It’s like Klaus & Elijah. Stefan will always be the noble hero type. While Damon will always be the impulsive anti hero that acts before he thinks like Klaus.
Im sorry this is off topic but it kinda annoys me that elena chose to sacrifice herself for matt because i get it losing one of her friends would hurt but no one knew atp that she had vampire blood so if meredith hadn’t given it to her then she would have died leaving Jeremy completely and utterly alone at 16. 🥲 like ik it was a lose lose situation but it sucks that she would have been ok with leaving her brother with no family
@@amayacrockett3458 i mean if she survived and matt didn't then she would've to deal with that survivors guilt all over again like with her parents. i think it's interesting to analyze what ppl would do if they found themselves in a situation like that but i dont think you can plan something like that.
@@ariesfigure yeah but you could possibly come back from feeling guilty, you can’t come back from death. Ik obviously she did but the decision was made without knowing vamp blood was in her system
*FINALLY! The show just got 100x better! i cant wait for yall to get further! And my man Zufffff im so glad you're back bro, I hope ur health continues to get better and even stronger!*
12.45 mark...oooooh ,she was so going to call it quits with Stefan.. The flashback parallels are insane. She tells Bonnie ,she and Miranda are both right and she should tell Matt....but she cant..not right now, at least not tonight And to Stefan...we need to talk ,.... we, we can talk later. And he instictively feels it....thats why the quick turn around ,and a farewell kiss... "Just in case there is no later". But this is Stefan ,so Im sure there was a little bit of manipulating going on. He was surely hoping the kiss and his words would influence her in his favour. And they do. She's conflicted. Again.
I still remember ,so vividly ,when I watched the pilot episode all those years ago, with a group of friends, wondering ,when Damon tells Stefan......" i can sum it all up in one little word ! Elena ! She took my breath away !! She's a dead ringer for Katherine !! ".. There was something in the way he said it.....I remember thinking...ooohh !! What if he had already met Elena before ? Wouldnt it be cool ?? I remember how excitedly we all discussed that delicious possibility So it was such a pleasant surprise to us all when this flashback appeared. And we were thrilled to bits. Also , Damon's reaction when he tried to compel Elena in Friday Night Bites ,all the way back in S1, E3. His attempt to compel her fails. She slaps him. And he is shocked and surprised. Because his compulsion had worked 4 months ago. Why wasnt it working here ? And then ofc he sees the vervain necklace. But, yeah..Damon meeting Elena first was a wonderful revelation. And more importantly, the placement was exactly right . And the instant connection that she felt with Damon. That spark. Here she was , opening up about her personal feelings to a total stranger !! You can see it in her face Haha....no wonder ,Elena always used the word "consumed" whenever she talked of Damon. The memories of her meeting Damon had been compelled away ,but they did have an impact on her , and were stored away in her subconscious mind. Loved , loved that he had met her first.
That's not how compulsion works if the vampire is strong and on human blood like Damon is. "Consumed" is something that probably stayed with her because Damon told her that's what she wanted and then compelled her to get everything she's looking for.
Funny , in an episode where Elena' "chooses" Stefan....the focus is all on Damon. Yeah...she was driving back to Stefan and would be with him soon. Still ,when the person you love has only got an hour to live, your first instinct is to call him, ask him to hold on, assure him that you would be with him soon. But no....she calls Damon. Is worried about him. Asks him how he feels, if he has any symptoms. Tells him he's going to be ok....that she would see him soon. And her heart is breaking all this while. She's devastated. She refuses to believe that he will be gone, that she would not see him again. Everything she should be saying to Stefan, the man she loves. I mean, what if she didnt make it back in time to him.?That was a real possibility too. But , no. It was all Damon. And you know what else ? She calls Damon ... to say that she loves... Stefan .Calls Damon to say she "chooses" Stefan !!!!!! And then..she dies . Without even talking to the love of her life !! Her epic love !!!!!! And while she drowns, though Stefan is at the scene of action...the focus is on Damon's face, his reaction, his realization of her death, his devastation at that realization. And the final reveal that she has vampire blood in her ???? We are shown Meredith telling Damon this. And we register Damon's utter shock and disbelief at this. Nothing on Stefan's reaction. We only get a shot of Stefan sitting in silent grief at the mortuary,waiting for Elena to wake up. Its obvious that he already knows. The writers didnt think his reactions and feelings were important enough to be shown on screen ?? Wow !! If I were a Stelena fan ?? I dont know that I would be really happy at the end.
Because she may have chosen to return home but it was not only for Stefan - she expected to see him and Caroline and Tyler and the others. She knew Damon would perhaps die alone. She called to talk to him and to reassure him that things would be okay. Her 'maybe if we'd met first' comment - he knew they had and still didn't tell her. He respected her choice and didn't try to influence it. Stefan tried to influence her by kissing her like that before he left - he was more devious at that point than Damon. My thought is this. If you love someone and you meet another and you are torn between the two, then you go with the second one - because if you were that much in love with the first one you wouldn't have kind of fallen for the other.
@@heather6668that tired ahh quote 😭 y’all don’t get tired of using that “choose the second one” quote and acting like y’all thought of it yourselves ☠️☠️
Glad that Bryce got to see Aunt Jenna one (final?) time I can't believe that Matt drugged Elena lol "Maybe if you and I had met first..." just for him to have met her first. Oooh, that hit so hard. This finale was crazy. I don't blame Stefan for respecting Elena's choice of saving Matt, because he has always supported her decisions, even if it was something he didn't want. Elena is a really selfless character who just puts her family and friends first.
The reason they believe he died is because he was playing as if he was feeling the effects of dying due to klaus being gone and because klaus was in his body didnt want her to know "klaus" was still alive and he couldnt actually die so he began forcing himself to turn to force her to leave his side pretending he did not want her to see him die. So he was just trying to get her out of there.
paul who plays stefan actually called the writers and was like um??? i could easily grab them both. they told him it was a sybmol of elena becoming her own women and make her own choices.
Tyler met up with Bonnie earlier and was in on the plan to put Klaus in his body. He was pretending to feel like he was dying when he asked Caroline if she felt anything. Tyler then started to turn into a wolf because he told Caroline he didn't want her to see him die (AKA so people will think Klaus died) hence the "either you leave or I'll make you leave.
22:21 you guys absolutely missed why Tyler was turning, lol.. he was “dying”, right? He didn’t want Caroline there, so he told her, “if you don’t go, I’ll make you go”.. she still refused to leave, so he knew the only way she would go, was if he started to turn.. that’s why he was turning.. so she would have to go.. if she had just left, he wouldn’t have turned.. 😅
I love how they didn’t believe for a moment that Elena was actually written off because how could they write off THE main character of the series? Right? 👀
Yeah. I personally would not be friends with him anymore if my own trusted friend decided to drug me without my permission. Ironically this is a repeat of when she asked for Jeremy to be compelled to leave town & not think of coming back & when she asked for him to forget about Vicki taking his choice away, Jeremy got payback by doing the exact same thing with Matt by making this plan to take her choice away & remove her from the town as well. Full circle even though… it’s quite messed up.
I'm curious. I don't remember if the show filled it in or not. A few hours before Elena ended up in the hospital, Klaus drained a ton of blood from her, she looked terrible, and then she hit her head. And when she got home, she was fine and went to paint the room. And she didn't look so pale and awfully. This wouldn't have happened if she had lost so much blood. So it makes sense that one of the Salvatores gave her their blood. Shouldn't that have cured her already? Or maybe they gave her too little blood, and Meredith added more. But it would have been cool if the writers had written it in, and she had the blood of two vampires in her system.
Now it's really about to heat up. I love the whole series but from this point on is so much better. Season 4&5 are the best ones imo and Elena is so much cooler as a vamp.
Part of me always thought that after Rose said she’s rooting for Damon and Elena, I think something shifted in Jeremy. I think he trusts Damon more than Stefan, even though Damon killed him that one time, because he knows that Elena has feelings for both, but he’s got eyes. He can see the flirting and whatnot between Damon and Elena, not to mention, if I’m not mistaken Elena is technically single currently. And he knows that Damon will always keep Elena safe no matter what.
@@LittleLondonCottages Yes. The Denver motel trip was about Damon and Elena's feelings for Damon no doubt . But it also served to let Jeremy see those feelings by having him walk in on Elena kissing Damon passionately....and through Rose's exposition, understand, that Damon , bad boy or not ,could in fact, also be the best thing for her.
@@LittleLondonCottages He trusts Damon more than he trusts Stefan. Damon is the one who actually listens to what Jeremy thinks or wants. He gave him a choice when Anna died as to whether he wanted to forget. The compelling him to go to Denver was to perhaps save his life and get him out of harm's way. Damon also gave him hell for how he was treating Elena and Jeremy I guess must realise that Damon cares for her.
Despite what’s said or whatever choice is made it was Damon that got the goodbye. Her last act as a human before dying was to call and say goodbye to Damon!
That doesn't even make sense. She didn't know she was gonna die. And she was on her way to Stefan but she still cared about Damon enough to say goodbye because she thought HE was dying. Some of you Delena shippers are delusional lol
@@Heida77 elena was only choosing stefan because she thought she met him first.. He was the safe choice coz she was human.. When she became vamp she realized that how much she loved damon
Them showing how both brothers met elena upon their arrival to mystic falls, how damon even KNEW about elena in the first episode FINALLY explained! because I kept asking myself how he knew about her cuz even stefan didn't know about her until he saved her and saw her face, stefan says it himself. so when the hell did damon meet her and see her face? Alaric finally dying. klaus in tyler would always be hilarious to me. but I love this finale.
Well Damon could have been watching Stefan when he arrived and as such he'd have seen Elena so no big shock there. However, the 'took my breath away' comment may have referred to this first meeting - shocked that he thought he saw Katherine but turned out not to be.
@@heather6668 except Damon didn't come to mystic falls stalking Stefan. He came because he had a plan to set Katherine free and the comet he had been tracking for 145 years had finally come to mystic falls. Stefan being there was actually a surprise which is why he asks him the same question "I could ask you the same question" he also explicitly states the last time he saw Stefan was with lexi in the 90's. He even points out how different Stefan looks when he appears at the window and how he hated his hair. Plus Stefan only came into contact with Elena face to face ONCE. which was saving her underwater. The next time he physically comes close to her is when he pretends to bump into her at school. And everybody who has seen elena and thought her to be Katherine have only seen her up close. Not from afar. Lexi, the vamp from the tomb, even the vamp with Anna. They all saw her up close and I mean physically before proceeding to stalk her. Meaning Damon had to have met her face to face to have seen her, mistake her for Katherine, then find out she wasn't Katherine, then finally find out her actual name. Because Stefan found out her name from stalking her birth records at the hospital. If Damon had only seen her from afar he would have said the name "Katherine" when he surprises Stefan at the window. Instead, he knows Elena's name, to the surprise of Stefan.
@@bellesvideos9578 Stefan probably got a shock when he pulled her from the car and probably also thought she was Katherine initially He saw her up close when he got her out of the water. He admits to watching her for months to make sure she wasn't Katherine, so he knew who she was when he decided to ramrod his way into her life. Damon knew her name because she told him when they met. So it makes perfect sense for him to say 'Elena' to Stefan when he confronted him in the pilot. Plus, the accident was 4 months prior I think so he could have been watching Stefan watch Elena during that time.
@@heather6668 That's what i said. i said stefan himself didn't realise she wasnt katherine until he checked her medical records at the hospital while he was stalking her. thats how he found out her name in the first place. And im saying that damon knowing her name in the first episode, finally makes sense because of this episode finally clearing up that he had met her already and that's how he knew she wasnt katherine and even knew what her actual name was. I'm also saying he didnt know stefan was in mystic falls during that four months because he talks about how different stefan looks when he finally comes face to face with him. he came there in the 4 months prior to follow the comet that he'd been chasing for over a century and set katherine free. if he'd been watching stefan stalk elena, like you said he would have simply thought she was katherine. instead, he already knows who she is cuz he'd met her prior. pretty sure we are in some agreement here.
@@bellesvideos9578 I can also imagine that her name would have perhaps been in the newspaper at the time in a report of the accident and the deaths of her parents. He could have found out any number of ways not just checking out her records which he really had no right to do. He could have learned her name from going to the hospital she was in, or from stalking her parents' funeral or listening to conversations people who knew her were having. As for Damon knowing Stefan was in town, I think he did. He just didn't want Stefan to know HE was. He could have noticed he looked different etc but that was his first opportunity to say anything to him. We'll never really know since they don't ever tell us. We can speculate.
tyler CHOSE to turn to drive caroline away, he was coughing before he started turning, and he literally told her that if she didn’t leave he would make her.
"If only you and I had met first !! Elena probably only said that to Damon to soften the blow of her rejection. But her words, and the recollection of their first meeting , is what gives Damon the will to fight back against Ric, when he had almost given up in despair. So he then he starts fighting again with renewed vigour and determination. So, Elena, unknowingly, saves his life from the brink of death. And Damon's blood in her system, is what saves her from death when she drowns. A 100 miles apart from each other, and they end up saving each other's lives ,without their own knowledge. Wow !! And that's Damon and Elena for you. And to those people who are looking for symbolism, because this show is all about symbolism and subtexts and layers...this has been commented on a lot. Elena symbolically dies ,cradled in Damon's arms.( because Alaric's life is tied to Elena's ,and he dies cradled thus. Also ,when Stefan goes back to the car after taking Matt to safety, Elena is already dead) And Elena is reborn with Damon's blood in her. Added to all this, is Bonnie's premonition when she touched Elena, all the way back in the Pilot episode. When she touched Stefan, she saw Death. And when she touched Elena ,she saw fog and a crow (referring to Damon as we learn ), and Bonnie says,whatever she saw or thought she saw, it was only the beginning. lnteresting. Now, all things are pointing to a true beginning of Damon and Elena. Wow again.
WOO HOO SEASON 3 FINALE! This was a great episode! -“Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you not being the dumbest brother alive?” LMAO. -I love that Elena said that Damon consumes her. And that he was the problem between her and Stefan. I think that says a WHOLE lot. The DE scene was horribly sad too! NOOOO ELENA. IMO Elena definitely made the easy decision in choosing Stefan because they were already together and she knew he was a good guy etc. He was the safe option. With Damon, that was more of a risk. And I really believe that all the matt/elena past stuff is EXACTLY how she's feeling about Stefan NOW. She met Stefan, which made her realize she was stringing along Matt, her puppy love. And now, she's stringing along Stefan, her first love. To me, it felt like she was trying to make the “right” decision. (BTW THE FLASHBACK D/E SCENE WAS SO GOOD TOO!) The car accident scene was so horrible and so sad, and the flashback crash scene was sad too! Seeing Elena say goodbye to her dad! Aww. :( I’m sorry but Stefan saving Matt over Elena was the DUMBEST thing ever. I don't care what she was saying to him, that’s just stupid. THAT ENDING... DUN DUN DUN.
You're not going to remember this probably, but awhile ago, Zuff made a comment about Rebecca killing Elena. I said then that I'd remind you of that. You made the prediction without even realizing it. You seem to have an uncanny knack for such predictions.
Me, watching Stefan's whole debate on who to save first: or, you can use your vampire super-strength to break both seatbelts and Elena can try and swin to the surface, yknow? 🤷♀ Like, there's literally nothing blocking her lmao Also, Bonnie literally kinda killing Tyler to save Klaus... like y'all can just say if you hate Tyler so much 😅 Tyler is so expandable to his own friends' eyes, it's kinda sad.

I love season 4 one of my fav season ❤
rob's smile at the camera when Damon was revealed as having met Elena first hahaha
23:59 SO GOOD lmao
@elia_simon omg thank you for the time stamp hahaha his face kills me
Stefan’s choice in this episode is so controversial but I still maintain that he made the right call even if Elena hadn’t survived the crash.
Elena was depressed due to survivor’s guilt after her parents’s crash, she spent most of s2 borderline suicidal because of everyone putting their lives on the line to save her. She would’ve been devastated if Matt died to save her and never would’ve survived it. Stefan saving Matt is probably the most selfless thing he’s ever done for her.
and stupid, I'm sorry but if she was able to get over both her parents passing at the same time then Matt shouldn't do that much damage
@@Slixkk I don't think that's how people with trauma+ survivor's guilt act. It's not logical, obviously.
EXACTLY!!
the little "she cast a spell" every now and then will never not make me laugh
Lmao when they said how good Tyler’s speech to Caroline was but it was in fact Klaus
Yeah. Cause realistically if it was Tyler … he probably would’ve said something dumb anyways.
Yup, cause it's Klaus who's constantly tells Caroline how strong she is and always talks about her future. He's the only one whos ever seen her for who she is as a person and as a vamp.
You guys are killing it with these upalods thanks you guys Elena becoming a vampire got me so excited for the next season now
Klaus Tyler said "leave or I'll make you leave" which is why he started transforming intentionally. He needed to "die" alone in order to sell the ruse so he basically threatened to kill her. The turning wasn't part of the "death."
Bryce got his wish. Jenna back for an episode
Tyler told Caroline he didn’t want her to see him “die” so he started turning on purpose to “make her leave”.
I'm pretty sure that's already klaus in this part when he's turning
loved the four episode release! so happy zuff is back! we missed him! also loved delens these last couple pf eps. csnt wait for season four
Watching this finale live was INSANE! I was 16 and let me just tell you, it shook me to my core. Crying and everything 😂 waiting 5 months for the S4 premiere was horrible
The good old days!!!! I remember it like it was yesterday as well May 2012!!!!! We were shocked 😯

I'm so comfy right now. 😊 I'm just so happy and relieved to have all my guys back. ❤
The season 3 finale is one of the most iconic finales. The fact that damon and elena met first breaks my heart. I also can’t believe Stefan let Elena die, Damon would never omg. It was also so shocking that Elena is a vampire now.
I STRONGLY disagree. I'm sure if it was up to him he would've saved her but Stefan loves and respects Elena enough to follow her wishes and save her friend because he knows how much her friends and family mean to her. Damon could never.
@@Heida777 yeah, but like always … Elena puts her friends first & yet is hated by the TVD fans for no reason. She had no idea that she was gonna survive or be turned & yet she risked it all for Matt to survive because that’s the kind of person she is
stefan did not elena die, elena told him to help matt first and he listened. he had no way of knowing she would die, let alone become a vampire
@@SinStevie he knew she would die, there's no way her lungs could have waited for Stefan to save Matt then come back and save her... cmon now, it's obvious he's not dumb but I think he as a vampire that does feed on human blood now would be strong enough to save both of them yet, he decided to save Matt only which I'm not blaming Stefan nor I am a Stefan anti or any of that sort, I'm just saying he probably knew she was gonna die and that he could have saved both
@@SinStevie Stefan , of all people ,would know that Elena would be dead when he came back to save her after rescueing Matt.
After all , he had the precedent of Elena's father dying after he had saved Elena in the first crash.
Sorry but Rob saying sweetheart 24:32 was so cute ❤
Elena really lost her life after bleeding through the brain because of Klaus pushing her head first on the steps after he just bled her dry & them gets killed by his sister Rebehka. Elena just can’t catch a break smh 🤦♂️. All because she got involved with vampires that wouldn’t leave her alone. You can’t help but feel for her, because she didn’t deserve any of this
She was involved whether she met the Salvatores or not
@@magggmae not really. Anna said that she couldn’t believe that Elena looked like Elena despite being in mystic falls for quite some time in hidden until she could go with her plan to reunite with Pearl. Elijah who’s been scouring the earth with Klaus & Rebehka running from Mikael said to Rose & Trevor that it was impossible that there was a new doppelgänger from the petrova gang cause they thought that it had ended with Katherine when she became a vampire. So the world is a big place & add that no one was even looking for something they didn’t know existed. Elena would’ve been fine & unnoticed if not for the Salvatore brothers bringing her into this life. The fact that she was almost all of her life being unnoticed as a Katherine look a like until she got involved with the Salvatores proves that.
@@packedentertainment2866what?? did you really watch the show?? bonnie’s mom told that klaus’s dad showed in mystic falls years ago looking for elena and was her that put the spell on him
and obviously katherine knew that there was another doppelgänger cause she dad a daughter before
plus elena and stefan are both doppelgängers and there is a magic spell from the travelers that keeps putting them on each other’s path
so it would happen anyway, it’s not because she meet the salvatores 🙄
@@ClaraAlmeida-f1i huh? When did that happen? With Bonnie’s mom? Also the Stefan & Elena doppelgänger thing never made sense for them to be attracted to each other every life time because Silas never ended up with Quetsiyah or whatever her name was. Stefan doesn’t end up with Elena or Katherine. So the doppelgänger thing of them supposed to end up together never made sense
@@packedentertainment2866 how do you think bonnie learned the spell she did on klaus that made him hibernate like mikael? it was her mom that told her how to do it, just go back some episodes and you will see!
and this thing with the doppelgängers is a SPELL that the travelers casted to make them find each other so it will be easier to the travelers to find both the doppelgängers and use their blood to undo their curse, it doesn’t make them fall in love, just put one of them in the other’s path
and they broke the spell (s06 I guess), and quetsiya wasn’t a doppelgänger, it was Amara, her and Silas were the first couple, the spell was made after that, because the doppelgänger thing just happened cause silas and amara became imortal so the universe made the doppelgängers to have versions of them that could die
you really need to watch the show again

@@ReelTimeYT 🖤🖤🖤can’t wait!
Ive been waiting for this episode to get your reactions a side from episode 10 and episode 19. Season 3 was definitely a ride probally my favorie season. Ric was a great character and his death was heartbreaking. Damon and Elena meeting first was a nice revelation in the finale when it aired. It was torture waiting for Season 4 when this was originality airing waiting through the summer to get new episodes.
Yes. This season has some of my favorite moments of the season. But I can’t wait till 6 when they meet the most attractive person to grace this series … Kaiiiiii 😍. Season 6 has some of my other favorite moments in the series because of him. Every time he was on screen was gold similar to most of the originals on tvd. This is why season 3 & 6 are my personal faves
byrce with the colin bridgerton shirt omg
Yeah lol
cant wait for you to understand my pancake pillow I sent you hehe
can't wait till that season
YES!!! This marks a pivotal point in the series. From now on everything changes! This finale shook me to my core when I first watched it. I always knew Elena would become a vampire at some point but wasn't expecting it at that time or in that way. The car scene is weirdly very emotional and ridiculous at the same time. Elena is there fighting with Stefan and telling him to save Matt while she's literally drowning and wasting precious time. Also, why didn't Stefan help her unbuckle her seatbelt? And doesn't he have super speed? But Nina's acting along with the Sigur Rós song (which as an Icelander I was freaking out about!) made me cry so much 😭 And I'm sure if it was up to him he would've saved her but I LOVE that Stefan loves and respects Elena enough to follow her wishes and save her friend because he knows how much her friends and family mean to her.
I also love this quote: "That's what love should be. You should love the person that makes you glad to be alive". I will ALWAYS be a Stelena shipper ❤
Damon: "You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger... I want you to get everything you're looking for".
Elena: "When I'm with him, it just consumes me"
As you know, I'm not a Delena shipper but the paralells are insane.
Btw, I know it's been a long time since you've seen this Rob but how could you forget Elena dying and turning? I really thought you accidentally spoiled it!
Fun facts:
The plot to turn Elena into a vampire had been in the works since the series began. Initially, it was to be used by the end of the 2nd season.
Elena dies exactly the same way she did in the books but it was Katherine who caused her death, not Rebekah.
The ending scene when Elena is in the hospital's morgue and wakes up in transition is very similar to the scene where Bella wakes up as a vampire at the end of Breaking Dawn Part 1.
This is the highest rated episode out of all 8 seasons. The initial airing attracted 2.53 million viewers.
Goofs:
Stefan and Matt state that Damon is a 100 miles out of town and cannot get back within 1 hour. However, as shown multiple times throughout the series, Damon is capable of running so fast that he would have been able to return to Mystic Falls well within 1 hour.
Also, Alaric is called Elena's guardian but she has already turned 18.
Y’all thought season 1’s finale was insane (way more than season 2 imo) & then this happened. Season 3’s finale is easily one of my favorite episodes of TVD along with the last 2 episodes of season 6
It's great to see you again, boys!
Zuff, it's so good to see you again
Vampires hating water isn't a thing in this show at all.
@@yasminemixon9340 yes, it's not a big deal, but at least in all scenes involving water, that's the answer, in future then...
Ayo I haven't been keeping up with the channel for a few months and jesus christ, I'm glad Zuff is okay ❤
when rob said the thing about vampire blood in the beginning i started sweating for him because i knew it could’ve spoiled zuff and bryce lmaoo
I know, right? 🤫
never realized how much body hopping was in this show lmaoo
Fr. It’s always the originals 😭
& the original witch of course
There's also a season 5 swap as well between two characters.
This is and will forever be the best episode of the show!
Yes but also the last 2 episodes of season 6. Those 2 along with this one are my favorite episodes
Agreed, this is one of my favorite episodes but also the season 1 finale & the ghost episode where Anna reunites with Pearl, Anna’s death & her reunion with Pearl always makes me tear up when watching this series. Also every episode involving Kai later on … which speaking of … no spoilers but I found it funny that they didn’t believe for a second that Elena was dead-dead & was written off the show because there’s no way they’d write her off since she’s the main character 👀. I can’t wait for them to get to the later seasons. 4 has Nina Dobrev’s best performance in one episode in particular after a certain thing happens in an episode about grief where funnily not much happens in the episode but it’s an extremely powerful episode, I can’t wait for them to see that episode cause I feel like it’s gonna break them like it broke me.
Idk which one it is, but my fav ep is the one where Elena‘s dancing in that purple dress with that special someone. 14 year old me couldn’t handle that scene
I agree, devious plans don't utilize the depths of Lake Superior enough 😂
“Estrid” had me rolling 💀
S4 and S6 are my fav seasons ❤
"you want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger." I love the shocking reveal that damon and Elena met first. They instantly had a connection and a deep bond and it is so sad that damon compelled her memories away. damon was so sweet with Elena, and it shows how much he wanted Elena to have a good life before everything happened. one of the most iconic delena scenes in the show.
But then he went on to immediately starting tormenting her and her friends. Episode 1 is the crow and the fog. IMO the Damon and Elena meeting first was retcon, because it actually doesn’t even make sense.
@@KS1211-gd3vl it’s not a retcon, just because you don’t like it. They met first and that’s a fact. And secondly, damon has changed from what he was in season 1. And even in season 1, you can tell that damon cared strongly for Elena. Even when he was the “villian” at the beginning.
@@amberaugustine9948 I can feel it was a retcon. We can have a difference of opinion. If he truly wanted all those wonderful things for elena, he wouldn’t have terrorized her, her friends, and her family, IMO. The scene didn’t make sense to me personally. And of course Damon cares strongly for elena now. I’m simply saying that the “meeting first” just feels contrived to me.
@@KS1211-gd3vl you can tell that Damon’s humanity was slowly coming back with his moments with Elena in season 1. He cared about elena even back then so their first meeting makes the most sense to me. He even mentioned Elena being a dead ringer for Katherine the pilot when he talked to Stefan. It implies that he knew her from back then.
Elena is attracted to him since their first meet
Omfg can't wait for y'all to watch next season. One of the best for sure
2:54 Bryce’s reaction was literally me like WHY is Klaus in Tyler’s body of all people? 😭😭😭
Yeah, I would’ve preferred Matt. It was obvious that he tried but couldn’t do Klaus’ accent at the end of the episode which is fine because not everyone can do different accents other than their own
Tyler is his first hybrid that lived, probably the strongest of all his hybrids too. I think it makes perfect sense for him to be in Tyler's body.
@@jennaragsdale5593the point is that as someone who cares deeply for Caroline, it makes no sense for Bonnie to tie him to Tyler considering the position that puts him in.
@@BipolarJack probably cause he's the last person anyone would think she'd choose. It's more inconspicuous
@@jennaragsdale5593 i agree that it makes sense from a story telling perspective due to the reasons you listed. But it still makes no sense that she would pick him for her character, so I understand why people are confused.
23:57 robs face lmaooooo
peak Delena!!!!!
This episode was so cool to watch when it first came out. I was full on crying and then that ending! The waiting for the next season was endless.
the fact that stefan and damon represent such different ways of loving here with the drowning situation. i love damon as a character but i've always had a soft spot for stefan because of the decisions he makes. no matter how much i loved elena I'm the type of person that would respect her wishes even if that means i'd have to let her go.
Frfr. It’s like Klaus & Elijah. Stefan will always be the noble hero type. While Damon will always be the impulsive anti hero that acts before he thinks like Klaus.
Stefan always respects Elena’s wishes.
Im sorry this is off topic but it kinda annoys me that elena chose to sacrifice herself for matt because i get it losing one of her friends would hurt but no one knew atp that she had vampire blood so if meredith hadn’t given it to her then she would have died leaving Jeremy completely and utterly alone at 16. 🥲 like ik it was a lose lose situation but it sucks that she would have been ok with leaving her brother with no family
@@amayacrockett3458 i mean if she survived and matt didn't then she would've to deal with that survivors guilt all over again like with her parents. i think it's interesting to analyze what ppl would do if they found themselves in a situation like that but i dont think you can plan something like that.
@@ariesfigure yeah but you could possibly come back from feeling guilty, you can’t come back from death. Ik obviously she did but the decision was made without knowing vamp blood was in her system
*FINALLY! The show just got 100x better! i cant wait for yall to get further! And my man Zufffff im so glad you're back bro, I hope ur health continues to get better and even stronger!*
I love son 3 finale. I was looking for this since the reactions started 😂 I’m so excited for vamp Elena
12.45 mark...oooooh ,she was so going to call it quits with Stefan..
The flashback parallels are insane. She tells Bonnie ,she and Miranda are both right and she should tell Matt....but she cant..not right now, at least not tonight
And to Stefan...we need to talk ,.... we, we can talk later.
And he instictively feels it....thats why the quick turn around ,and a farewell kiss...
"Just in case there is no later".
But this is Stefan ,so Im sure there was a little bit of manipulating going on. He was surely hoping the kiss and his words would influence her in his favour.
And they do.
She's conflicted.
Again.
I still remember ,so vividly ,when I watched the pilot episode all those years ago, with a group of friends, wondering ,when Damon tells Stefan......" i can sum it all up in one little word ! Elena ! She took my breath away !! She's a dead ringer for Katherine !! "..
There was something in the way he said it.....I remember thinking...ooohh !! What if he had already met Elena before ? Wouldnt it be cool ??
I remember how excitedly we all discussed that delicious possibility
So it was such a pleasant surprise to us all when this flashback appeared. And we were thrilled to bits.
Also , Damon's reaction when he tried to compel Elena in Friday Night Bites ,all the way back in S1, E3. His attempt to compel her fails. She slaps him. And he is shocked and surprised. Because his compulsion had worked 4 months ago. Why wasnt it working here ? And then ofc he sees the vervain necklace.
But, yeah..Damon meeting Elena first was a wonderful revelation.
And more importantly, the placement was exactly right .
And the instant connection that she felt with Damon. That spark.
Here she was , opening up about her personal feelings to a total stranger !!
You can see it in her face
Haha....no wonder ,Elena always used the word "consumed" whenever she talked of Damon.
The memories of her meeting Damon had been compelled away ,but they did have an impact on her , and were stored away in her subconscious mind.
Loved , loved that he had met her first.
That's not how compulsion works if the vampire is strong and on human blood like Damon is. "Consumed" is something that probably stayed with her because Damon told her that's what she wanted and then compelled her to get everything she's looking for.
@@frikadellwhere in the world did you get this information?
@@DellaMcgee-mc4rf I watched the show?
@@frikadell so did I none of what you said was portrayed on screen..
@@frikadell when you are compelled to forget you forget..even Stefan’s week ass can do it(like Vicky)..
I just finished watching the previous reaction vid, and you guys uploaded.!.!.! Yay lol
This is one of my favorite episodes from the whole show. Im so happy you finally saw it
Funny , in an episode where Elena' "chooses" Stefan....the focus is all on Damon.
Yeah...she was driving back to Stefan and would be with him soon.
Still ,when the person you love has only got an hour to live, your first instinct is to call him, ask him to hold on, assure him that you would be with him soon.
But no....she calls Damon. Is worried about him. Asks him how he feels, if he has any symptoms.
Tells him he's going to be ok....that she would see him soon.
And her heart is breaking all this while. She's devastated. She refuses to believe that he will be gone, that she would not see him again.
Everything she should be saying to Stefan, the man she loves. I mean, what if she didnt make it back in time to him.?That was a real possibility too.
But , no. It was all Damon.
And you know what else ? She calls Damon ... to say that she loves... Stefan .Calls Damon to say she "chooses" Stefan !!!!!!
And then..she dies . Without even talking to the love of her life !! Her epic love !!!!!!
And while she drowns, though Stefan is at the scene of action...the focus is on Damon's face, his reaction, his realization of her death, his devastation at that realization.
And the final reveal that she has vampire blood in her ????
We are shown Meredith telling Damon this. And we register Damon's utter shock and disbelief at this.
Nothing on Stefan's reaction. We only get a shot of Stefan sitting in silent grief at the mortuary,waiting for Elena to wake up.
Its obvious that he already knows.
The writers didnt think his reactions and feelings were important enough to be shown on screen ??
Wow !!
If I were a Stelena fan ??
I dont know that I would be really happy at the end.
Because she may have chosen to return home but it was not only for Stefan - she expected to see him and Caroline and Tyler and the others. She knew Damon would perhaps die alone. She called to talk to him and to reassure him that things would be okay. Her 'maybe if we'd met first' comment - he knew they had and still didn't tell her. He respected her choice and didn't try to influence it. Stefan tried to influence her by kissing her like that before he left - he was more devious at that point than Damon. My thought is this. If you love someone and you meet another and you are torn between the two, then you go with the second one - because if you were that much in love with the first one you wouldn't have kind of fallen for the other.
@@heather6668 yes , thats why i said that if I was a Stelena fan , i wouldnt be too happy at what was shown on screen.
@@heather6668that tired ahh quote 😭 y’all don’t get tired of using that “choose the second one” quote and acting like y’all thought of it yourselves ☠️☠️

I NEED you guys to watch Teen Wolf as your next show when you get the chance, reliving this show w you guys has been so fun & cant wait for season 4
this is my favorite finale !!
Damon and elena first meeting is so beautiful 🥹 we can see elena is attracted to him since their first meet
Woooa a new ep again, so fast hahah i love it. Thank you guys. 😍
This is the best episode of the show!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the best TVD season ending with 6x21 and 6x22 🙂↕️
Glad that Bryce got to see Aunt Jenna one (final?) time
I can't believe that Matt drugged Elena lol
"Maybe if you and I had met first..." just for him to have met her first. Oooh, that hit so hard. This finale was crazy. I don't blame Stefan for respecting Elena's choice of saving Matt, because he has always supported her decisions, even if it was something he didn't want. Elena is a really selfless character who just puts her family and friends first.
The reason they believe he died is because he was playing as if he was feeling the effects of dying due to klaus being gone and because klaus was in his body didnt want her to know "klaus" was still alive and he couldnt actually die so he began forcing himself to turn to force her to leave his side pretending he did not want her to see him die. So he was just trying to get her out of there.
This finally is still the best season finally of all time for me ❤
You usually do great at not spoiling things you've already seen. Don't beat yourself up if you slip up sometimes. 29:18
rob's face when that scene happened hahahahhh
"We Can't Lose Matt"
Don't worry bro😂😂
one of my fav scenes is next episode so im so hyped to see the next reaction
And here it is!!!!!!!!!! Boom 💥🤯
Love the reaction and love the Colin Bridgerton tee😂❤
paul who plays stefan actually called the writers and was like um??? i could easily grab them both. they told him it was a sybmol of elena becoming her own women and make her own choices.
Delena meeting first revealed in this episode just changed everything
it’s so funny watching this show in hindsight, thinking all these people were dead only for them to be brought back lol
🤫
my favorite ark is almost here- hint( elena is my favorite character)
This episode broke me when it first aired 😭😭😭
Tyler met up with Bonnie earlier and was in on the plan to put Klaus in his body. He was pretending to feel like he was dying when he asked Caroline if she felt anything. Tyler then started to turn into a wolf because he told Caroline he didn't want her to see him die (AKA so people will think Klaus died) hence the "either you leave or I'll make you leave.
Such a good final ep
26:42 and people say elena is selfish and what not
Time for the best season 💯
S4 is so underrated
s4 is not the best season ☠️
@@realestsienna lmao ok says you
This is one of the best episodes of the series
The plan that Stefan and Damon had for the one Elena didn’t choose would leave town, I don’t think Elena knew about it.
22:21 you guys absolutely missed why Tyler was turning, lol.. he was “dying”, right? He didn’t want Caroline there, so he told her, “if you don’t go, I’ll make you go”.. she still refused to leave, so he knew the only way she would go, was if he started to turn.. that’s why he was turning.. so she would have to go.. if she had just left, he wouldn’t have turned.. 😅
The craziest thing in this episode is that they just renovated the Wickery Bridge and didn’t make any improvements to the guard rails…
This was the episode so much happening
I love how they didn’t believe for a moment that Elena was actually written off because how could they write off THE main character of the series? Right? 👀
this comment is kinda spoilery and they do read the comments
yeah .. this comment is kind of a spoiler ☠️ idky yall say stuff like this and word it as something that’s obviously gonna happen
I blame Matt
Yeah. I personally would not be friends with him anymore if my own trusted friend decided to drug me without my permission. Ironically this is a repeat of when she asked for Jeremy to be compelled to leave town & not think of coming back & when she asked for him to forget about Vicki taking his choice away, Jeremy got payback by doing the exact same thing with Matt by making this plan to take her choice away & remove her from the town as well. Full circle even though… it’s quite messed up.
@@packedentertainment2866 exactly
Can’t wait for them to watch originals, long way to go tho if they’re gunna wait till the end of tvd and not do it chronologically.
I'm curious. I don't remember if the show filled it in or not. A few hours before Elena ended up in the hospital, Klaus drained a ton of blood from her, she looked terrible, and then she hit her head. And when she got home, she was fine and went to paint the room. And she didn't look so pale and awfully. This wouldn't have happened if she had lost so much blood. So it makes sense that one of the Salvatores gave her their blood. Shouldn't that have cured her already? Or maybe they gave her too little blood, and Meredith added more. But it would have been cool if the writers had written it in, and she had the blood of two vampires in her system.
Now it's really about to heat up. I love the whole series but from this point on is so much better. Season 4&5 are the best ones imo and Elena is so much cooler as a vamp.
S6 is good too
The fact that Jeremy called Damon when Elena was in the hospital..
Part of me always thought that after Rose said she’s rooting for Damon and Elena, I think something shifted in Jeremy. I think he trusts Damon more than Stefan, even though Damon killed him that one time, because he knows that Elena has feelings for both, but he’s got eyes. He can see the flirting and whatnot between Damon and Elena, not to mention, if I’m not mistaken Elena is technically single currently.
And he knows that Damon will always keep Elena safe no matter what.
@@LittleLondonCottages Jeremy has more interaction with damon than stefan in the show
@@LittleLondonCottages Yes. The Denver motel trip was
about Damon and Elena's feelings for Damon no doubt . But it also served to let Jeremy see those feelings by having him walk in on Elena kissing Damon passionately....and through Rose's exposition, understand, that Damon , bad boy or not ,could in fact, also be the best thing for her.
@@LittleLondonCottages He trusts Damon more than he trusts Stefan. Damon is the one who actually listens to what Jeremy thinks or wants. He gave him a choice when Anna died as to whether he wanted to forget. The compelling him to go to Denver was to perhaps save his life and get him out of harm's way. Damon also gave him hell for how he was treating Elena and Jeremy I guess must realise that Damon cares for her.
I feel really bad for Damon; he met Elena first and still didn't get to be with her first or be chosen last. That's gotta hurt.
Despite what’s said or whatever choice is made it was Damon that got the goodbye. Her last act as a human before dying was to call and say goodbye to Damon!
Only because she was driving back to Stefan
@@causesharkboysaidso6867 we all saw that dont worry... no need for the reminder 😂
That doesn't even make sense. She didn't know she was gonna die. And she was on her way to Stefan but she still cared about Damon enough to say goodbye because she thought HE was dying. Some of you Delena shippers are delusional lol
@@Heida77 elena was only choosing stefan because she thought she met him first.. He was the safe choice coz she was human.. When she became vamp she realized that how much she loved damon
@@Heida77
Whether it’s a choice or not only one person got a goodbye before Elena died.
Bryce been wearing his aunt jenna shirt always except for this ep lol
"0X2 on girls who LOOK like this" is crazy and accurate
Yeah, he’s not wrong lolllll
Stefan knew it was elena cuz he have been stalking her...
Them showing how both brothers met elena upon their arrival to mystic falls, how damon even KNEW about elena in the first episode FINALLY explained! because I kept asking myself how he knew about her cuz even stefan didn't know about her until he saved her and saw her face, stefan says it himself. so when the hell did damon meet her and see her face? Alaric finally dying. klaus in tyler would always be hilarious to me. but I love this finale.
Well Damon could have been watching Stefan when he arrived and as such he'd have seen Elena so no big shock there. However, the 'took my breath away' comment may have referred to this first meeting - shocked that he thought he saw Katherine but turned out not to be.
@@heather6668 except Damon didn't come to mystic falls stalking Stefan. He came because he had a plan to set Katherine free and the comet he had been tracking for 145 years had finally come to mystic falls. Stefan being there was actually a surprise which is why he asks him the same question "I could ask you the same question" he also explicitly states the last time he saw Stefan was with lexi in the 90's. He even points out how different Stefan looks when he appears at the window and how he hated his hair. Plus Stefan only came into contact with Elena face to face ONCE. which was saving her underwater. The next time he physically comes close to her is when he pretends to bump into her at school. And everybody who has seen elena and thought her to be Katherine have only seen her up close. Not from afar. Lexi, the vamp from the tomb, even the vamp with Anna. They all saw her up close and I mean physically before proceeding to stalk her. Meaning Damon had to have met her face to face to have seen her, mistake her for Katherine, then find out she wasn't Katherine, then finally find out her actual name. Because Stefan found out her name from stalking her birth records at the hospital. If Damon had only seen her from afar he would have said the name "Katherine" when he surprises Stefan at the window. Instead, he knows Elena's name, to the surprise of Stefan.
@@bellesvideos9578 Stefan probably got a shock when he pulled her from the car and probably also thought she was Katherine initially He saw her up close when he got her out of the water. He admits to watching her for months to make sure she wasn't Katherine, so he knew who she was when he decided to ramrod his way into her life. Damon knew her name because she told him when they met. So it makes perfect sense for him to say 'Elena' to Stefan when he confronted him in the pilot. Plus, the accident was 4 months prior I think so he could have been watching Stefan watch Elena during that time.
@@heather6668 That's what i said. i said stefan himself didn't realise she wasnt katherine until he checked her medical records at the hospital while he was stalking her. thats how he found out her name in the first place. And im saying that damon knowing her name in the first episode, finally makes sense because of this episode finally clearing up that he had met her already and that's how he knew she wasnt katherine and even knew what her actual name was. I'm also saying he didnt know stefan was in mystic falls during that four months because he talks about how different stefan looks when he finally comes face to face with him. he came there in the 4 months prior to follow the comet that he'd been chasing for over a century and set katherine free. if he'd been watching stefan stalk elena, like you said he would have simply thought she was katherine. instead, he already knows who she is cuz he'd met her prior. pretty sure we are in some agreement here.
@@bellesvideos9578 I can also imagine that her name would have perhaps been in the newspaper at the time in a report of the accident and the deaths of her parents. He could have found out any number of ways not just checking out her records which he really had no right to do. He could have learned her name from going to the hospital she was in, or from stalking her parents' funeral or listening to conversations people who knew her were having. As for Damon knowing Stefan was in town, I think he did. He just didn't want Stefan to know HE was. He could have noticed he looked different etc but that was his first opportunity to say anything to him. We'll never really know since they don't ever tell us. We can speculate.
you cut the best part :/ You want a love that consumes you, you want passion and adventure, and even a little danger 🥵🥵🥵
tyler CHOSE to turn to drive caroline away, he was coughing before he started turning, and he literally told her that if she didn’t leave he would make her.
Can't wait to see their reaction to the Originals!
"If only you and I had met first !!
Elena probably only said that to Damon to soften the blow of her rejection.
But her words, and the recollection of their first meeting , is what gives Damon the will to fight back against Ric, when he had almost given up in despair. So he then he starts fighting again with renewed vigour and determination.
So, Elena, unknowingly, saves his life from the brink of death.
And Damon's blood in her system, is what saves her from death when she drowns.
A 100 miles apart from each other, and they end up saving each other's lives ,without their own knowledge.
Wow !! And that's Damon and Elena for you.
And to those people who are looking for symbolism, because this show is all about symbolism and subtexts and layers...this has been commented on a lot.
Elena symbolically dies ,cradled in Damon's arms.( because Alaric's life is tied to Elena's ,and he dies cradled thus. Also ,when Stefan goes back to the car after taking Matt to safety, Elena is already dead)
And Elena is reborn with Damon's blood in her.
Added to all this, is Bonnie's premonition when she touched Elena, all the way back in the Pilot episode.
When she touched Stefan, she saw Death.
And when she touched Elena ,she saw fog and a crow (referring to Damon as we learn ), and Bonnie says,whatever she saw or thought she saw, it was only the beginning. lnteresting.
Now, all things are pointing to a true beginning of Damon and Elena.
Wow again.
Yes they saved each other..Damon and Elena Always Saves each other,They Always Survive..
WOO HOO SEASON 3 FINALE! This was a great episode!
-“Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you not being the dumbest brother alive?” LMAO.
-I love that Elena said that Damon consumes her. And that he was the problem between her and Stefan. I think that says a WHOLE lot. The DE scene was horribly sad too! NOOOO ELENA. IMO Elena definitely made the easy decision in choosing Stefan because they were already together and she knew he was a good guy etc. He was the safe option. With Damon, that was more of a risk. And I really believe that all the matt/elena past stuff is EXACTLY how she's feeling about Stefan NOW. She met Stefan, which made her realize she was stringing along Matt, her puppy love. And now, she's stringing along Stefan, her first love. To me, it felt like she was trying to make the “right” decision. (BTW THE FLASHBACK D/E SCENE WAS SO GOOD TOO!)
The car accident scene was so horrible and so sad, and the flashback crash scene was sad too! Seeing Elena say goodbye to her dad! Aww. :( I’m sorry but Stefan saving Matt over Elena was the DUMBEST thing ever. I don't care what she was saying to him, that’s just stupid.
THAT ENDING... DUN DUN DUN.
Yeeessss
It's Mystic Falls - nothing bad ever happens here! Ooopppsss.... 😮🤭
lol yeah - give it time
23:53 waiting for so long
Damon and Elena meeting first was everything.🥹
You're not going to remember this probably, but awhile ago, Zuff made a comment about Rebecca killing Elena. I said then that I'd remind you of that. You made the prediction without even realizing it. You seem to have an uncanny knack for such predictions.
Me, watching Stefan's whole debate on who to save first: or, you can use your vampire super-strength to break both seatbelts and Elena can try and swin to the surface, yknow? 🤷♀ Like, there's literally nothing blocking her lmao
Also, Bonnie literally kinda killing Tyler to save Klaus... like y'all can just say if you hate Tyler so much 😅 Tyler is so expandable to his own friends' eyes, it's kinda sad.
