Me too! I'm really glad they've gone down the Vamp!Caroline road. Plus her eye make-up of late is TOTALLY HOT.
I actually disagree with you - I think she's sticking to her guns and rightly so. Damon crossed a line and he deserves to be punished. xD I think it's pretty clear that she doesn't really hate him, though, especially with how upset she was by his 'you're just like Katherine' comment. She really wants to hate him and I think it speaks volumes for her character that she's not ready to forgive him, cos really, he hasn't done anything to earn it (other than jumping in front of an arrow for her, lol). He intended to kill Jeremy and it's gonna take a lot more than an apology to make up for it.
Yaaaaaay!
Also, Katherine's back! Yay! Do more evil stuff plz!
