Pie accepted gladly! And welcome, I think I haven't seen you here before :).

Good point about Damon needing Stefan not just alive, but also in good shape. He can't just let him rot in the cell, can he?

It’s weird, but the collateral damage doesn’t bother me all that much. I mean, it does, but these are vampires---collateral damage is kind of a thing with vampires. I’ve made my peace with the fact that these are basically bad people. I’m okay with it. I like them anyway. And I wonder---if it bothers people so much, why do they watch a show about mythical creatures that need to murder to survive?

It does bother me that they vampires just "accidentally" keep killing mostly pretty, young girls, but other than that? TVD is not a show about heroes, the characters are just people who happened to get involved into something bigger than themselves, and now they try to cope. They are so selfish, they protect their own, and they never see the bigger picture. This is what I love about this show. Because, honestly? If my (hypothetical) brother was about to die and I could save him by joining a mass murderer, I would do it without blinking, especially if I already had a history of being mass murderer. Collateral damage be damned.
