I was reading some reviews of the episode "The Hybrid". Mostly the reviews were positive, except some minor details, but the one that stuck in my head was the negative one. The person who wrote it was really.. harsh. To every part of the episode. But, that person pointed out one thing I've seen some other people agree with. Here it goes:

"And the subtext of what Damon said to Elena is so emotionally manipulative that I almost can’t believe that the show expects me to read it as romantic: the only possible reason that Damon could have for wanting Elena to remember ‘everything [she] felt’ for him once Stefan had returned to her is as a punishment either for her emotional infidelity or for not choosing him. He basically said, “I am going to give you what you want, and I am going to do everything in my power to make sure it turns to ashes in your mouth,” — and if this is how he feels about Elena then the possibility that his feelings for her could ever be at all redemptive is completely nullified. Redemptive love is about improving yourself in order to be ‘worthy’ of the object of your affection, not about bringing them down to your level."

One part of me agrees with this. What was he trying to do? To make her understand her feelings or to make her feel guilty? But one part of me thinks it should have been said, because like the person who wrote the review said, sometimes I felt like she's being emotionally unfaithful to Stefan.

What are your opinions?
