1.20 Blood Brothers the reviews are in

Ironically, this new piece of information also makes Damon more, well, human. Of course he’s bitter and angry. Katherine chose to turn his brother, and then that same brother caused Damon to live in a world in which Katherine does not exist or does not want him.     TVFANATIC

Let’s begin with the story of how the Salvatore Brothers were turned. As Stefan detoxed/starved himself, he flashed back to the night that Katherine and the other vampires were captured and supposedly burned in the church. He and Damon found the vampire paddy wagon, created a distraction, and tried to free Katherine. Damon was shot, then Stefan. Both died. How did they become undead then? Well, Katherine had Emily make the brothers rings to protect them, and she’d been using compulsion to make Stefan drink from her for weeks. He died with her blood in his system, as did Damon, who we already knew drank from her willingly. Ever since we saw Vicki have to make the choice of whether to feed on human blood to complete the transformation or starve to death, I wondered how each brother made that decision. The guilt of choosing immortality is what made Stefan want to go hungry now. “No more. After what I’ve done, it has to end,” he told Elena. “I just want it over.”     POPWATCH
