Vampire Diaries

M'kay, I've got a question  why in the hell did Elena beg for Damon's life?   It's rather like that old BtVS fandom question of whether Buffy would've staked Spike had Spike been chip-free and killing.  I was always but always on the side of hell yeah.  She'd have to.  With that in mind, jeebus, I've yet to see Damon show any redeemable traits and she knows he's been out murdering (and was murdering five minutes after she saved him).  I seriously do NOT know why she was begging for his life.   (Nor do I know how this show plans to redeem Damon enough to keep him around on the show.  They can only carry this along so long until it becomes utterly ridiculous that someone doesn't stake him.  And it's already damaging Elena's supposed 'goodness' that she just begged for his life when he's shown no reason whatsoever why he should be saved (meanwhile she's all suspicious of Stefan.  Girl has some very strange priorities.  (Is Elena supposed to have traits like her evil doppleganger?  That's the only thing that could possibly explain it to me because, honestly, Damon is a killer who kills.   There's not much ambiguity in that)
