The Vampire Diaries: Cast and Crew Reveal Teasers

Moonlight — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:00:57 +0000

With all of the action-packed twists and shocking discoveries in The Vampire Diaries, we never know what will happen next. It doesn’t mater how many times you have read the books, the show constantly delivers something new and exciting. So with that in mind we can only imagine what will happen in the show’s next episode on March 25. But lucky for us the cast and crew have spilled a few teasers about the rest of this season’s episodes.

Warning: This post contains spoilers on the upcoming episodes of The Vampire Diaries.

On the next episode of The Vampire Diaries, the friction between Damon and Alaric reaches an all time high as the show sheds more light on Damon’s involvement in Isobel’s death. The O.C.’s Melinda Clarke also arrives as Matt’s mother, who totally disapproves of Caroline. We do get a big more of Anna and her mother Pearl and on top of that two new mysterious characters will be introduced to add more drama in Mystic Falls.

As for the Salvatore brothers – Damon (Ian Somerhalder) deals with not only the realization that Katherine is alive and has abandoned him, but also his budding feelings for Elena (Nina Dobrev). “They’re becoming sort of unlikely friends and that’s a slow road,” executive producer Julie Plec explains, adding that Damon will fall for Elena before she’ll realize her feelings for him.

Paul Wesley, on the other hand, hints that upcoming episodes will expose his character Stefan’s complexity, saying that “he’s hiding something.” And if that’s not exciting enough, we get to see even more half naked Stefan! Wooo!

As for the season finale, well there’s no way of guessing what will happen, but we do know that there will be something about the vampire compass and a device that will be “going on top” of it. Hmmmm.

Check out some still from the next episode “A Few Good Men.”

‘Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev Dishes on Love, Life and Twilight

Moonlight — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:00:28 +0000

‘Vampire Diaries’ starlet Nina Dobrev rocks the cover of Seventeen magazine this month, and dishes all the dirt about her off-screen high school drama, about her on-screen love and how she relates to Bella Swan.

There is no doubt that Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) is incredibly sexy, but Nina tells us why he is hot on and off screen – that it’s also part of his personality. “The first time Paul and I met, I met nine other guys as well because I had already been cast and they were deciding for the Stefan role,” she recalled. “I had to read with like 30 studio executives, and they were just kind of watching and analyzing because that was the whole point of the test…they wanted to see who had the best chemistry. And everyone was great, but Paul had this old soul, like a history that you could feel…he seemed like he’d been around longer, and knew more, and he had a grasp for the character different from anyone else.”

She then shares what the real Paul and Ian (Damon Salvatore) are like off-screen, “They’re both really great in different kinds of ways. Paul definitely takes his job very seriously He’s very professional. Ian’s the prankster, the jokester. He makes light of every moment, and he’s very exciting and cool. He has the best stories, because he has just experienced so much, and he’s been on so many cool sets and movies. We love each other’s company.”

But the big question is would Nina ever date one of the guys, “I think it could definitely get sticky if you dated your costar,” Nina explained. “To be completely honest, dating an actor is very complicated. There’s a lot of vanity involved. And they’re in their head, and they’re kind of crazy. And you’re always surrounded by beautiful people. I would prefer not to date an actor.”

But then the article moves on to her high school days and she deals us some good advice, “Looking back on high school, I just remember specific scenarios and thinking, wow, that was such a big deal at the time, but right now it feels like it never even happened. So I guess if I can give any advice, I would just say that everything will pass, and it’ll feel like it was a big deal over nothing. Life goes on and then you change and other things happen, and everything feels like it’s so much worse afterward. It’ll always get better.”

And of course, like most interviews we get to the whole lame Twilight vs. Vampire Diaries issue, but Nina answers perfectly. “I think that Elena has more awareness of her friends and family, and everyone around her, and looking out for everyone’s best interests. But Bella reflects that unconditionally in love, the blinded love that girls really do experience sometimes. They fall in love with someone, and they’ll do anything and everything for that one person. I think I’m more like Elena, but I have a little bit of Bella in me. When I’m in love with someone and they’re really important to me, I will definitely take care of them, but at the same time, I’m not going to throw everything away for a relationship — I still have my friends, and I still have an awareness of everything around me.”

Vampire Diaries: New Characters and their Quick Demises

veritas — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:28:14 +0000

the vampire diaries

It seems as though the producers of Vampire Diaries hopped on the vampire bandwagon at just the right time; the characters are young and fearless and the plot deliciously thickens week after week … but there’s one question that needs to be answered: why do new characters get killed off or disappear so quickly? Let’s take a look at 3 different examples…

Vicki – A small-town girl with a ton of baggage, Vicki had great potential to be a bitchin’ vampire’s apprentice. This character had a jaded outlook on life, and that’s what made her so unique; her teen angst shrouded her inner little girl. But when push came to shove (and it did), the producers decided to get rid of her … was her would-be storyline too strong for the overall show’s plot? Anyway, Damon brainwashed her family members after her untimely death. Don’t you think Caroline should have gone instead?

Lexi – This age-old blonde bombshell rolls into town to celebrate Stefan’s birthday like a good friend ought to, but Damon has other plans in mind. Long story short, Lexi finally got Stefan to admit his true intentions for coming back to Mystic Falls; however, she came off as a home wrecker after Elena stopped-by the Salvatore’s humble abode. Damon ended up framing the heart of gold time traveler just to cover his own selfish tracks. Was it jealousy that got in the way of brotherly bonding, or was Damon just a dead and heartless soul?

Anna – One of the more useless characters on Vampire Diaries, Anna is a user and abuser. She comes into the picture attempting to seduce the naïve Jeremy Gilbert, but it turns out that she’s just a mama’s girl. It was centuries ago that in the midst of the great vampire hunt, Anna’s mother Pearl was put away for all eternity with other practicing vamps. In the latest episode, those lost souls were “rescued” and Anna walked away scot-free with mama in tow … supposedly never to be seen again.

What characters do you wish stayed and which ones do you wish headed for the hills?

David Anders Joins ‘The Vampire Diaries’

Moonlight — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:50:45 +0000

It speaks to the success of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ that the show is already able to pull in such big-time guest stars in its very first season. Now the well-loved David Anders is set to join the ranks of other ‘Vampire Diaries’ guest stars such as Sean Faris, Melinda Clarke and Jasmine Guy.

Anders is best known for his roles on action-packed series like ‘Alias,’ ‘Heroes’ and, most recently, ‘24,’ Anders is expected to join the cast for a couple episodes as Jeremy and Elena’s uncle Jonathan.

Us fans of the series have already seen a different Jonathan Gilbert in the show’s flashbacks, the man who was a crucial player in the Mystic Falls vampire hunt of 1864. If the events of the most recent episode are anything to go by, it seems his namesake may arrive in town just in time for yet another big showdown with the no-longer entombed vampires.

Sources say that Uncle Jonathan won’t be coming into town to help out, but he’ll be there to stir some more drama and more trouble for the poor folks of Mystic Falls. We’ll just have to wait and see if that’s true or not. Unfortunately, David Anders won’t be seen in the next episode but instead will first appear in the April 15 episode and will recur throughout the season.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ returns Thursday, March 25, at 8 p.m. with a new episode titled “A Few Good Men.” We don’t know what this big episode is about yet, but from the looks of the promo (below) it’s no doubt going to be a sexy and spine-tingling ride.

Let us know what you think of the show’s choice of David Anders playing Jonathan Gilbert. What do you think this added character will bring to the storyline?

Vampire Diaries vs. True Blood: What your favorite vampire show says about you

veritas — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:52:44 +0000

You did the unthinkable; you invited them into your home, and they can return any time they so choose. The world around us is completely obsessed with the idea of the vampire; with such shows as Vampire Diaries and True Blood, two series that showcase hotties that arose from the dead, no wonder we are in the midst of the age of the creature that never dies. And to be completely honest, this craze is showing no signs of stopping.

If you were to poll people on the street as to what their favorite vampire show was, you would get completely different answers and for different reasons; you may hear what leading vampire is hottest and why or what love story is the best and for x-reason. No matter what conclusion you come to, people have their reasoning and that’s that.

Let us now tell you what your favorite competing vampire show says about you.

Vampire Diaries: You like change. Who doesn’t love a new generation of vampires that can walk among the humans in broad daylight while looking quite young for their true age? One more thing … you’re a bit kinky. Katherine had the Salvatore brothers wrapped around her pale pinkie like nobody’s business … after all, isn’t two better than one?

True Blood: You are a traditionalist, plain and simple. You don’t like to bend the rules, much like the producers don’t bend the rules on the way of the traditional vampire. A fan of this program is also quite pure, kind of like the love that Sookie and Bill share. All in all, you’re a bit bland to the taste but hell, no one’s perfect.

Where do you weigh in on the vampire saga scale?

Vampire Diaries Cast Interviews!

Moonlight — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 13:00:00 +0000

With The Vampire Diaries going on a month long hiatus all of us hardcore fans need a little something to hold us over until then – cue cast interviews! Yay! Doing the whole fan-girl thing I came across a collection of interviews where the cast answers fan questions. Check it out…

Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore)
Did you read the Vampire Diaries books before joining the cast?

I hadn’t read them prior to auditioning but once I got the role I found out the show was based on books and so I ran to the store and picked up all the books. The problem is I only had two weeks before we started shooting, so I sat down and just plowed through them and I made it. But yes, I did read the books. I thought it was important to get as much back-story as I could about Stefan.

Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert)
If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

I would want to be invisible… and fly. I would want to have the choice to just disappear sometimes and do my own thing and then fly to different places around the world because I love traveling.

Ian Somerdale (Damon Salvatore)
What is your personal favorite vampire movie?

One vampire movie that was actually really incredible was Willem Dafoe and Shadow of the Vampire. That was such an interesting weird portrayal … it wasn’t this highly stylized romanticized version of a vampire.

Candice Accola (Caroline Forbes)
What do you think about being compared to Twilight all the time?

I think it’s normal, I mean we both are entertainment surrounded by vampires, and with True Blood as well. I think it’s fun but at the same time I just kinda think of how many doctor shows and lawyer shows there are out there… so it’s vampires. But I also think it’s a compliment, look at what Twilight has become and I’ve seen it and think it’s really fun as well. It’s a great compliment to be compared to that.

To watch all of the interviews, with all of the cast head over here. I just gave you a small taste, each actor gets asked a few questions. Yay!

8 Things to Do While You Wait for The Vampire Diaries

annimi — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:00:16 +0000

1. Start a fan club! Get a Wordpress blog or something, send invites through Facebook or Myspace, and get all your friends interested. You might even make some money in the process, by adding Google ads. Everyone loves the Vampire Diaries, and if you do too, you can lead the march, and demand for more of the show!

2. The next episode “A Few Good Men”, won’t air until March 25th. Grab a calendar and tick off the days until the next show! It might not make the time fly by fater, but it will certainly give you a great routine.

3. Read the books! Heck, why not? It’s not like they have spoilers, –the books are tons different from the show. You probably won’t be able to recognize anyone other than the most primary characters.

4. Draw your favorite character, or characters. Sketch Damon in his sexiest pose, –personally the one where he’s dancing to Enjoy the Silence, showing off his deliriously gorgeous abs… Or draw Elena, at her most vulnerable, –oooh, or Bonnie, with fire shooting out of her fingertips!

5. Re-watch every episode! Catch the show’s re-runs, and watch every episode up until the next one. That way, you’ve already taken a refresher course, and you’re ready for what’s going to happen next.

6. Who else absolutely loves the show’s soundtrack? They always pair up the right songs with certain sequences. Go through all the shows and try to remember what the songs were, then hunt for them with no mercy on iTunes.

7. Correct Wikipedia, –certain entries about the show and characters, are inaccurate. Die-hard Vampire Diaries fans (like me) will be able to find the errors and put the truth where lies were before!

8. Check out all the other Vampire Diaries fan sites; there are millions of them, each offering a discussion spot for the episodes, clips, and more. But don’t forget to come back here for your fix of all things vampire!

The Vampire Diaries, Season 1, Episode 14

annimi — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:33:12 +0000

Well, the little subplot between Matt and Caroline is moving along at a snail’s pace, but besides that, things are definitely picking up. As predicted, Elena was snatched, along with Bonnie, in order to make a trade: the grimoire for Elena. The difference is, that despite all manner of begging from Stefan, Damon isn’t going for it. While Elena and Bonnie hang out in a hotel room with Anna and her douchebag boyfriend, Damon tries to get Bonnie’s grandmother to open the door to Katherine’s tomb. No cigar. Jeremy Gilbert, meanwhile, is getting more and more pitiful as time goes on.

Despite eventually getting convinced to going out to ‘Duke’s party’, he chooses to bring Anna as his date. Guess where the big party is? Right in the old cemetery, next to the church ruins, where underneath, about two dozen hungry vampires are about to pour forth, should the vampires involved have their way. Stefan went to Gram’s house and figured out where Elena and Bonnie were via a “simple locator spell”, then busts them out of the hotel room where Anna and her undead jock were holding them hostage. After cutting through all the drama, Bonnie and her grandmother agree to open the tomb so that Damon can get Katherine and leave.

The only thing is, Damon isn’t in the mood to work together with everybody, so Elena collects herself, and goes to convince Damon that they won’t betray him again. Elena doesn’t apologize exactly, but she does persuade Damon that she will help him get Katherine out of the tomb. Damon puts his trust in her once again, and they head out to the tomb to meet Bonnie, her grandmother, Stefan, and his big flamethrower. Over at the big cemetery bash, Jeremy and Anna head off into the woods, where within thirty seconds, they kiss, she says she’s leaving, and her other boyfriend smashes him on the head with a crowbar.

Anna packs up Jeremy to take him off to the tomb, but she ends up having to deal with Stefan. The door to the tomb is open, and Damon hauls Elena in with him, for leverage against Bonnie and her grandmother just closing the door again. Everybody’s in the tomb; Anna, Damon, Elena, –Anna forces Elena to give blood to her mother, which of course, brings some screams from Elena, which brings Stefan a’runnin’ in. Problem with that is, there’s a seal still on the tomb, even if the door is open. The seal keeps the vampires from leaving, so Damon, Stefan, Anna, and her mother, are trapped.

But Elena can leave. Bonnie convinces her grandmother to break the seal long enough for everyone to get out, but Damon is freaking out, because Katherine isn’t in the tomb. Anna and her mother disappear into the night, promising to leave Jeremy alone, and giving directions to where he is. Outside, the witches are having some serious issues, –the spell is taking a lot out of both Bonnie, and her grandmother. They manage to keep the spell going strong, while Elena goes in and convinces Damon to leave the tomb, even though Katherine isn’t in there.

Damon, Elena, and Stefan make it outside, and there’s a really sweet moment where a heartbroken Damon gets a hug from Elena. Elena takes care of Jeremy, who says he thought he passed out, before she takes off to Bonnie’s. Apparently though, his recent encounter with Anna has only fueled his fascination with vampires. Damon is waiting for Anna and her mother, angry enough to rip them both to pieces; he accuses Anna of knowing that Katherine wasn’t there. Her mother says that Katherine escaped because she promised the guard she’d turn him, and Anna continues that Katherine was last seen in Chicago, in the 80’s.

She apologizes, telling him that Katherine knew all along where Damon was, that she just didn’t care enough to find him. Damon leaves, and is joined by Stefan at their home, in front of the fire. Presumably, there’s a modicum of male bonding. Elena, Bonnie and her grandmother spend the night together, but the spell weakened her grandmother, and killed her. Altogether, a very sad episode; not only does Jeremy lose yet another girl, but he also seems to be getting a little too obsessed with the whole vampires thing. This episode had nothing at all to do with Alaric Saltzman, so the next episode, we ought to be seeing more of him.

The whole Katherine thing, whoa, I didn’t see that coming at all. Now I’m almost positive, there’s going to be a big Katherine/Damon/Stefan/Elena bash at some point in the future. I also think that after Bonnie’s grandmother dying because of the strain of performing a spell to save Damon and Stefan, that Bonnie is going to be a little less sympathetic with the vampire plight in the future. And what’s the deal with the vampire popping out of the tomb at the end? Damon was all upset, he didn’t know that bursting his little blood bag would wake up an angry, Civil War-era vampire. But he’s up, and looks like he’s feeling frisky.

The Vampire Diaries, Season 1 Episode 12

annimi — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:49:11 +0000

The vampire that almost attacked Elena in the last episode poses as a pizza guy for an invitation inside Elena’s house. Stefan gives Elena vervain, and vervain jewelry for her family and friends. She gives out the jewelry, but after a creepy phonecall, Stefan also gives Elena the vampire compass so she can detect her stalker. Caroline and Matt are getting a little closer, but Matt is also learning the grand trade of bus-boy at the Mystic Grill, which is a serious blow to his self-esteem.

I’m just going to lay the whole subplot out right here; Matt is insecure, and Caroline has a big mouth. You do the math. Eventually, when Caroline’s foot lands in her mouth, they have a fight, and argue a little over Matt’s decision to forego the next level of their relationship. Caroline walks out, Matt follows, and they kiss! It’s really sweet, but a lot happens in this episode, so focus! On the other side of subplot land, Bonnie is feeling the heat, and is kinda getting interested in the bartender at the Grill; Ben. Bonnie asks him out, which is her way of encouraging Caroline with Matt. Likewise, Jeremy’s new friend Anna is getting more interested, but Jeremy is feeling stalked.

Elena and Jenna finally talk about Elena’s real parents. Jenna only knows the basic story: Mr. Gilbert was leaving the office, a 16 year old runaway, Isabelle, arrived in labor. Mr. Gilbert found her a place to stay, but Isabelle disappeared, leaving the baby behind. Mr. Gilber, a doctor, did all necessary paperwork, and kept the new baby quiet. Speaking of Katherine, Damon is looking for Emily’s grimoire, so Bonnie is the first stop that Damon makes to find it. The bartender at the Grill breaks up Bonnie and Damon’s little talk, and Damon goes back to his father’s journal to find the grimoire. Stefan offers to help Damon, but Damon isn’t ready to trust Stefan’s reason; he just wants Damon to leave.

The strange, new vampire attacks Elena while she’s getting ready for the 50’s theme dance, but Stefan saves the day. Damon and Stefan decide that all they should go to the dance and try to catch the vampire, because now that he’s been invited in, he can’t be allowed to roam free. Jenna and Alaric hook up at the dance to, as chaperones, and get into a conversation about Alaric’s dead wife, –guess what her name was? Isabelle, –dun dun dun. Jenna makes the connection immediately. The new vampire is also hanging around. Elena’s brother is on punch duty at the dance too, so the whole gang is here, in one place, packed in for major drama potential.

Elena’s friends don’t think much of her hanging around with Stefan and Damon, but Elena brushes them off, –since Damon is hot, who cares? The creepy vampire in the hoodie is watching the scene, you know, acting malevolent. Meanwhile, Anna shows up to stalk Jeremy some more, and offers to help with punch duty. Anna is also getting impatient to see Jeremy’s ancestor’s journal. And when she does, she gets a little frustrated, –look at that, Jeremy’s new friend is a vampire! She takes off, to get whatever it is, out of her eye. And speaking of people who get too overzealous in their questions, Alaric accidently gets a little too interested in Damon, when they talk for a moment. Remember, Alaric knows it was Damon who killed his wife, –a woman named Isabelle, who might be Elena’s biological mother. Damon senses the interrogation, and Alaric backs off.

Anna and the guy stalking Elena, Noah, not only know each other, but they’re also seeking to free Katherine, –and the reason Noah wants to screw with her, is because she looks so much like Katherine. Noah leads Damon and Stefan off the mark, by letting some other guy wear his hoodie, and meanwhile, takes off after Elena. Elena runs, is cornered, but puts up a surprisingly good fight with sharpened pencils. Stefan and Damon show up in the nick of time, of course, and torture Noah for information. He tells them that Johnathan Gilbert’s journal holds the answers for finding the grimoire, –but refuses to tell Damon and Stefan who he’s working with.

Anna watches, then takes off. Alaric also ssees the confrontation, and Damon takes off to find out what Alaric saw. Damon attempts to ‘compel’ him to tell the truth, but despite Alaric’s answers, as Damon walks away, –he is seen clutching a vervain bloom in his fist. Stefan offers again to help Damon find a way to open the tomb. Damon hesitantly agrees, but with some doubts. And he should have, since Stefan tells Elena later that he was lying. The evening winds down with Alaric asking Jenna out, and her accepting. And with the discovery of who else Anna is working with, –remember the cute bartender that Bonnie’s interested in? Yep, that’s Anna’s boyfriend.

A lot happens this episode, new characters are revealed, and one them dies; too bad. Noah was hot! Not as hot as Damon, but oh well. Hopefully, Damon doesn’t end up like Boone in Lost, –that would suck fiercely. FYI, if you’re not a Lost fan, Boone is played by the same actor as Damon, and he dies in the first season. Also, what’s with Damon calling the new vamp a dickhead? Is that a word that’s allowed on TV now? I didn’t think CW was a cable channel. Elena and Stefan lying to Damon about something as important to him as Katherine, is bullshit.

He deserves to have -somebody-, allbeit maybe not, Katherine, Evil Queen of the Mummy Vampires, but someone nice. Like Elena, who can keep him on track. Oh well. The thing is, the whole ‘lying to Damon’ thing, is definitely a grenade waiting to go off. It’s incredibly mean. I do sense that at some point, Katherine is going to get out, and when she does, the shit will hit the fan. I don’t think she’ll be out very long, –but this stuff is probably going to go on during the second season, if they have one, and hopefully, they do!

The Vampire Diaries, Season 1, Episode 11

annimi — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:43:39 +0000

Finally! God, months without the Vampire Diaries, and for what? Those lazy Hollywood jerk-offs. And the last episode was left at such a crazy cliff-hanger! Gosh! Elena Gilbert, trapped under her wrecked car, while a vampire advances, –but Damon shows up, and saves the day, freeing her from the vehicle. The second Damon shows, the advancing vampire instantly takes off, and Damon carries Elena off. And to think all this could have been avoided by just taking time to cool off that temper; remember, Elena sped off after seeing the photo of Katherine for the first time.

Apparently, that Alaric Saltzman guy is in Mystic Fall because he has a vendetta against vampires, particularly Damon, –there’s a whole series of touchy-feely flashbacks, where Alaric is pictured with his wife. Then later, we see Damon munching on his wife in one of these flashbacks. Now we know what Alaric’s deal is, but we’re still kinda vague on why he has that family ring, like Stefan and Damon.

The next morning Elena wakes up with Damon in his car, and surprise! they’re in Georgia. After some argument, Elena gets off her high horse, and calms down, after she gets to ignore a phone call from a very worried Stefan. This gets Stefan all bent out of shape, and he takes off to find Elena’s best friend, Bonny can use her power to tell him where Elena is. Bonny tries but can’t do it, because her magic is blocked by something psychological, as her grandmother explains. To face her fear, Bonny goes back to the church ruins where she was possessed by her ancestor Emily, and the crystal was destroyed.

Damon is still trying to find a way to unlock the tomb full of icky mummified vampires, including Katherine. Hence the trip to Georgia, where he meets a long lost romantic interest, Bree, consequently a witch, whom he hopes can figure out how to unlock Katherine’s tomb. Bree claims there’s no way to unlock it, –but something weird is going on with her. At Katherine’s tomb, Bonnie is trying to erase her mental block, when she senses someone watching her. Before she has time to properly flip out, the ground collapses, and Bonny is face to face with the door to Katherine’s tomb.

Stefan, still looking for Bonny; shows up at her grandmother’s house. Bonny’s grandmother know Stefan is a vampire, and tells him that she does trust him to keep Bonny safe, after explaining how he can find Bonny. Stefan takes off to help Bonny, while back in Georgia, Elena is trying to get plastered with the grown-ups. Add contributing to the delinquency of a minor to Damon’s long list of crimes. There’s a brief conversation about how Elena could possibly be identical to Katherine. Then Aunt Jenna calls, and Elene takes off to talk to her. Someone grabs her, and she drops her phone.

Damon takes off to find Elena, and gets the ass-kicking of his life from another vampire, who promptly dumps gasoline all over him, and gets ready to set him on fire. It’s Alexi’s boyfriend, grief-crazed, and ready to fry Damon for killing her. Elena manages to talk Alexi’s boyfriend out of killing Damon. Damon rips Bree’s heart out of her chest for betraying him, –even after she’s told him that it’s possible to unlock Katherine’s tomb if he uses Emily’s grimoire. But he has to find it first.

In Mystic Falls, Stefan finally shows up to save Bonny, and brings her back to her grandmother’s house, –apparently, Stefan used to know her, back when she was “Sheila”. Later, Stefan and Elena have a long heartfelt talk, –and a couple important things are revealed. One, it was Stefan who saved Elena from her parents’ sunken car, and bam! Elena was adopted. Aunt Jenna is pissed when Elena gets home, but not for long, –Elena throws her adoption in Jenna’s face, and heads upstairs. At the ‘Mystic Grill’ Alaric sets eyes on Damon, where we get another flashback, showing Alaric’s memory of Damon killing his wife.

Throughout all of this, Jeremy has been piecing together the history of Mystic Falls, which means delving into vampire related subject matter. He makes a new friend in the library; a girl approximately around his age, and they get to studying the similarities of their ancestors’ journals. Most likely, their ancestors were members of the vampire hunting posse, with misguided, and well-meaning intentions. It’s nice to see him around a decent looking girl again; with any luck, she won’t turn out to be some kind of raging supernatural psycho.

I like that Damon and Elena are getting closer, because Damon is hotter, more hardcore, and has the better sense of humor. But as their relationship seems to brighten a little bit, Damon’s list of past and present crimes just gets longer, and longer. I’m kind of nervous to see whether or not he’ll survive the rest of the season. Gosh I hope so. Usually, just as things look like they’re turning up, something horrible happens. That’s how they keep us hanging over the edge, waiting for the next show! I’ll be there next week, with all the details on the latest episode.
