Zap2it: The sire bond has been highly speculated about over the last couple of weeks. How long has this been in the works? Did you guys know, when Elena turned, that you'd go this route?
Plec: We came up with it back when we launched Tyler's hybrid story, actually. When Tyler was sired to Klaus, and Damon said, "Oh, s***, I know what this is," that planted the seed of, when we finally go down this road with Elena, whoever's blood she drank to become a vampire sired her to that vampire. From there it was a natural conclusion that it should be Damon, so it's actually something that's been in the works for a very long time. The reason we kept the hybrid storyline alive this year and kept it sort of front and center was in order to create that context for the audience so that when we found out Elena was sired, it would all make sense.
Zap2it：过去几周大家都有对“认祖归宗”的猜测。你们什么时候有的这个想法？Elena变成吸血鬼的时候，你们是不是就打算这么拍了?
朱妈：我们在构思Tyler的混血儿故事的时候就有了这个想法。当Tyler对Klaus认祖归宗的时候，Damon说，“天。。。我知道这是怎么回事”，这就为Elena的认祖归宗埋下了伏笔。当进行到Elena的时候，她喝了哪个吸血鬼的血的血就对谁认祖归宗。当时我们自然就认为这个吸血鬼应该是Damon。所以这个剧情构思其实已经存在很久了。我们之所以这季着重讲了混血儿故事线，是因为我们希望观众发现Elena对damon也认祖归宗的时候，不会觉得讲不通。【明显就是大家都觉得牵强附会啊！】
It's definitely alarming for fans who have been waiting to see Damon and Elena get together for them to finally hook up, but have it be intercut with evidence that her feelings for him might not be genuine. Is there still hope that her feelings for him are real?
Without taking sides one way or the other, just looking at it objectively from our point of view as storytellers, there is more hope than ever for them. It's just combined with a lot of very deep questions. Damon is a character who, his whole life -- as a vampire and as a human -- was looking for love and acceptance, and for someone to finally say, "Hey, you're good enough." He finally gets that from Elena, and now he has to question it. He wants to believe it's real. She truly believes it's real. But there's that nagging doubt, as to how much of it is true love and how much is the effects of a sire bond. It's a question that's going to take these two people who do care about each other so deeply, and just put the tiniestbit of an obstacle in their path. They have to figure out how to get around it.
Zap2it DE党看到Damon和Elena好不容易在一起（滚床单）了，但却因为E对D的感情却可能不是真的感到担忧。那么E对D有没有可能还是有真感情在的？
朱妈：如果中立地看， 现在DE是最有希望的时候。只是这伴随着很多复杂的问题。Damon的一生——不管是吸血鬼还是人类的时候——都在寻找真爱，寻找那个肯定他的人。他现在找到了那个人，Elena。但是因为认祖归宗，他却必须想办法弄清楚。他希望这是真的。而E认为这是真的。但纠结的是，这些情感里，多少是真爱，多少是因为认祖归宗——这对两个互相吸引的人是个问题，也对他们以后的路设了个小障碍。他们得想办法来处理这个障碍。

是带给了我们一场真诚的分手了。。下集lexi就回来啦期待
