Ahh, but. But. The point is not that Damon roofied Elena. The point is that if Elena WAS roofied, Damon was unaware of the fact at the time -- and her conversation with Tyler proved that she was not. Sire-bonding influences your ACTIONS, not your FEELINGS -- and at the end of the last episode, they went out of their way to show that the initiation of sex was VERY much Elena's doing. Even to the point where she was the one who threw Damon up against the freaking WALL.
So as far as I'm concerned, the date-rape thing absolutely does apply to Caroline/Damon (from s1), but not at all to Elena/Damon. I don't think I will ever forgive Damon for what he did to Caroline (nor should Caroline herself, which is the only reason I put up with her bitchiness this episode), but I like D/E so far.
I don't even know anymore, after someone else pointed out the inconsistencies and why the sire bond has more hole than plot to it. Like, Tyler's saying here that it only influences your actions (which Elena going along with what Damon says, going ahead and having sex with him- it all could be influenced actions that she didn't think to question because she DOES have feelings for him) except that last season Tyler was saying that the sire bond DOES change your feelings and makes you feel loyal and have overwhelming faith in the person you're sired to. And Elena doesn't behave a thing like Charlotte, the comparison in this episode, beyond just a fairly surface resemblance of wanting to go along with what Damon says

Yeah, I read that more-hole-than-plot post, too... and she's right. I'm starting to question whether or not the sire bond is real at all. I mean, it's entirely possible that Stefan and Caroline are just jumping to conclusions, Charlotte was just BATSHIT INSANE, Damon is insecure enough to believe in the bond with very little proof, and Elena knows so little about it that she'll go with whoever has the most damning evidence, because she is a professional pessimist
