10/10 for season 1 is very true! I say this because I truly believe that if season 1 wasn't so good, one won't be super excited for the next seasons so I absolutely understand where you're coming from. Finale episode is absolute favourite and for all the right reasons. ‘Founder’s Day’ is essentially all about Damon’s character development in season one for me. It provides a nice glimpse of how he’s started to change since he got his humanity back. Of the two scenes that Damon and Elena share in this episode, their scene at the Mystic Grill is underrated. While neither one of them is thinking along the lines of romance at this juncture (because regardless of how Damon might feel about her, I really don’t think he truly indulged the idea of being with her yet), their friendship possesses a wealth of intimacy that has them naturally falling into patterns that resemble a romantic relationship. Elena is seen telling Damon to stop his flirting comments and the eye thing but she is smiling when she is telling him that. They both only get serious when she says 'don't make me regret being your friend', and he nods. It was beautiful. He understood that she was wanting to set a boundary and he would respect it (or at least try). But I know that both of them have decided to speak about this because they can see that Stefan is being affected by their friendship and closeness. Damon and Bonnie's scene. Thirteen episodes ago Damon tried to kill Bonnie in a blind rage. And here he is, in broad daylight, thanking her for saving his life. Expressing not just gratitude, but respect to this person who despises him, whose throat he tried to rip out. Why would he do that? What possible motivation could he have had for this? Its not like there is any angle to work here. He’s not looking for brownie points with Bonnie because he doesn’t care how she sees him. And he hasn’t even acknowledged his love for Elena yet so it can’t be to impress her. The only reason he did it is because underneath all that arrogance, recklessness and sarcasm, Damon is actually a good person. Perhaps not the nicest, but good. This is the first of many instances that prove he is capable of showing respect for another person. And that in and of itself is a gateway to bigger and better things. To the long buried human Damon Salvatore who can be the hero despite the overwhelming odds. I was happy that Bonnie and him shared this conversation because at some level it might have made Bonnie feel guilty about her betrayal. And in the end her being the one that helped save Damon was somewhere reason enough for me to forgive her. But Anna died in this and I really liked her and Jeremy, so I am also sad about this. And then Damon goes to meet Jeremy. Is this truly the same man who claimed not to care about anyone or anything just two episodes before this? Is this the same man who turned Vicki Donovan for no reason other than boredom and yet is here out of respect for Jeremy to tell him that the girl he loves is dead. Again. And people would dare to say that Damon hasn’t changed, that he is incapable of doing so? When by the end of season one he was already making massive strides in a positive direction? When he was cementing his position in this town and in these people’s lives with no hidden agenda whatsoever? Damon Salvatore, king of wearing his actions on his sleeve with pride, no matter how reprehensible they may be is standing in the bedroom of a sixteen year old kid for whom he feels nothing and has no connection to yet and is apologizing to him for killing the girl he loved. An admittance of guilt. Of regret. An apology for a transgression. For the love of god this is season one. He was the freaking villain/Anti-hero at the start of this season and he’s already coming into his humanity, already striving to be a better person without even realizing it. Without even knowing why. I loved how we got to see him admitting that he had his emotions off for a very long which makes sense because of so many reasons that I cannot mention right now. But he just chose to stop feeling things. And now he is back in his town and surrounded by people like his brother, Elena, Alaric and even Bonnie who despite hating him has helped save him. So now, he is feeling everything slowly and steadily. I don't know if he had planned to turn his emotions back on when he came back to town because he wanted to rescue Katherine and so he was somewhere in the middle of feeling things to a certain extent but not too much to overwhelm him with guilt and remorse. It might be the most relevant line in this episode. Damon’s admission that his humanity is back on is one of the single greatest revelations of the season. It was the entire purpose of his story arc in season one, the whole focus of his journey, the reason he had to be such a bastard at the outset of the series. So that when his humanity did come back we could understand — and Elena could understand — that bad Damon isn’t the real Damon. There is much more to him. As furious as I am that Elena never got to hear these words from Damon, I still think it was for the better. Because like it or not, Damon’s story isn’t meant to be just about Elena. It’s about him realizing and his journey. He doesn't believe that he can good despite feeling the want to protect the town and it's people. His own brother doesn't want to believe that him caring about Jeremy and Elena's relationship is for selfless reasons. And scenes like the one with Jeremy were the first signs of Damon and his capacity of feeling emotions. Every word out of his mouth, every action is indicative of a man with that is very much capable of caring. Consider this, he’s just survived yet another near death experience. He was almost burned to death. And being the wildly intelligent man that he is he knows whose to blame. Old Damon from the first half of this season – before he turned his emotions back on and fell for Elena – would have sought revenge against the responsible parties. Both John and Bonnie would be dead. Yet they are unharmed. And instead, his first order of business upon surviving the fire is to track down Jeremy and tell him face to face that Anna isn’t coming back. And then apologizing for his part in the loss of his first love, Vicki. Then the scene out on the porch. I was taken back by surprise when the the kiss happened! I was also like what is going on and why is Elena responding to the kiss with such passion but honestly I couldn't help but enjoy the kiss because it was just too hot. And then the bomb drops, it is Katherine! I don't know about anyone else but before TVD I have never come across a twist like this and it's brilliant. Yes, I understand that Damon shouldn't have kissed her on the lips thinking that she was Elena because it is wrong. But honestly because he wasn't stopped, it continued. If it was Elena, of course the kiss won't have happened. I love Nina as Katherine and Elena. As you said, there is a different vibe that Katherine carries. Her body language is I believe more seductive and she behaves old if that is a way of describing it. Like there is more confidence in her demeanor whereas Elena is clumsy, Kudos to Nina for making it so clear that Katherine and Elena are two different people. The maximum growth we have seen in an character this season was certainly Damon and it's very interesting because of the nuances and layers. Thank you for answering the questions and I am really excited for you to react to S2 after knowing your expectations 👌

Your reaction was brilliant!! 👌🏻👏🏻 This episode is so good, the writers of this show are truly brilliant, and this show is famous for his shocking plot twist, revelations, cliff hangers, and fantastic seasons finale to which you had just a first taste. You just had the appetiser, the main course is coming and the appearance of Katherine is just the beginning of it. Season one was an introduction to this universe, his main characters, their dynamic, a hint of their story, letting us see that there is so much more to everything and we just hit the tip of the iceberg. Now that we have been introduced to all those elements, it is time to dive into this ocean at full speed. There are many spectacular things about this show that are very unique to it, the originality of the plot, the excellence of the acting, the quality of the cinematography and last but not least, and to me one of the most impressive, is the superb writing and the level of care that was taken into writing this show. It is not possible, when you write about a character to bring it to a level that is remotely closer to the immense complexity of a real human being. It is actually very rare that writers even attempt to get really deep, to conceive the character history background and a story that are perfectly consistent with the character psychology, how it acts and reacts to the situations it is put into, the motivations. It isn’t attempted, simply because it is just very time consuming to write and mostly the budget doesn’t allow you to do it. Here we had the books, but the books are different from the show. So, we, as audience, are not used to shows that actually care or can afford, to go into so much dept, trying to make everything you see connected, explained, making sense and to write characters that have a great deal of complexity. They just make them act without explaining why, where they come from, just let it to the imagination. Not in this show, there are no loose ends, no action that cannot be explained and motivated and we viewers don’t get talked down, they do it assuming we are clever enough to get it. It is the quintessence of the writing rule “don’t tell me, show me”. The two brothers, but Damon, in particular, have so much history, story and depth that is astonishing and Damon complexity is the closest thing I ever seen in a show, to a real-life human being complexity. Damon character, to me, is as good as it gets. The care the writers took to do this show it is rare, it is something we rarely seen nowadays where budgets shrink by the minute and contract are only renewed if, and if only, the show is very successful and in general they don’t go further than 5 seasons tops and tons of it get cancelled after the one season. So, we have a rarity here, 8 seasons of true beauty, that is still a success around the world even if it has ended 3 years ago because of the gem that it is.
