Dude, seriously?

shipperxI had to laugh at this question in this weeks' TVGuide "Ask Matt." It's like this girl didn't realize that HER shipper bias was obvious. Look, like the vampire you like, but these "my vampires are better than your vampires" things inevitably boil down to -- y'know, they're BOTH killers! Sheesh! Did you miss where Stefan was decapitating co-eds? And yes, Damon is a serial killer. Guess what? Neither is a white knight. You're watching a vampire show! (And a vampire show that kills red shirts faster than Star Trek).
The soap box you're standing on is an illusion.
(I personally think Elena should choose "three-way" because... well, why not? It's not like there are moral boundaries on the show to begin with, so just do it already).
Anyway, the qutestion that was posed that amused me:
Question: With Glee's move to Thursdays, I'm worried it's going to take away from The Vampire Diaries' already small audience. Do you think Glee could case TVD to tank? If it does, do you think The CW will be smart enough to move it rather than cancel it? I watch both shows but would definitely pick TVD if I could only save one from a burning building. :)
And if you feel like answering a plot-driven question, what do you think the odds are of Elena ending the series with Damon? I worry that the writers will do that to appease the 12-year-old Delena "shippers" who tweet their faces off every week, but think that would be the dumbest thing ever, considering Damon is still a loose cannon who tries to control Elena ("for her own good"), despite his sporadic heroic moments. Did the writers not watch Season 1? I'd say Stefan "consumed" Elena at one point as well. It's called infatuation — and sooner or later it wears off like new car smell. And unlike Stefan, who shares Elena's love for literature, journaling, etc. when her life is not in grave danger, Damon seems to have zero in common with Elena aside from being hot. Several people have become vampires on this show, and none of them had their personalities drastically altered — even Stefan and Damon seem to be themselves in flashbacks from long ago. So for Elena to suddenly (or not-so-suddenly) go for Damon after wanting Stefan for three seasons straight would just seem like an incredibly cheap (and pretty icky when you recall who has slept with whom) plot device to me. — Jennifer
And she's being entirely logical and objective about it. *snerk*
