I guess when you completely ignore the context of the scene (Elena being sired) and what comes after that (Elena breaking down), then sure, it's a good scene. But it truly feels like TVD propaganda to me when people hype this scene up. It's just a prime example of those fans choosing to ignore who Elena is and what she wants because they are more focused on Damon and a ship.

omg funny u should say that, cuz back in s1-s2 i didn’t ship them, but i DID rly enjoy their dynamic! my headcanon for them was big bro/little sis.  i was hoping that this was where the show was going too, that damon would grow up and get over his katherine projection and learn to value elena as friend and family because their interactions were a lot of fun. i actually thought that elena would be the one to make him see how much he loved his brother. and imo, any competent show-writer would’ve done that arc. but theeeeen the rest of the show happened. and i ended up despising their dynamic because they were no longer friends, they were no longer fun, they were just toxic assholes. so yes, tvd writers rly know how to ruin a good thing.
