What are The Vampire Diaries and What's It About?

The Vampire Diaries is an enticing series on the CW inspired by the novels by L.J. Smith, published in 1991.

The series are based around two estranged vampire brothers, Stefan Salvatore (the FORMER non-human killing one) and Damon Salvatore (the one who sometimes doesn't care who he kills!).

I'm really loving the show which airs on the CW at 7pm central time! Have not read the books yet, but they are first on my list after school finishes for the semester.

Thoughts on Season 3 So Far?

Crazy Stefan Has His Humanity Back

So far Stefan has his humanity back but as we saw, was reluctant to turn it back on. He doesn't want to come to terms with all he's done and yes, there has been a lot. Remember how he put those girls back together like a jigsaw puzzle. Yeah.. it's bad.

On the upside, he saved Damon's life again by NOT allowing Klaus to be staked by Damon. Damon probably was wondering why Stefan foiled his plan. Does he think he's lost for good?

Remember that Klaus told Stefan that if he dies then Damon dies. Stefan and Katherine have decided to take the ultimate revenge and "coffin-napped" Klaus' family and who knows what Klaus will do next.

Damon and Elena Coping Together

Damon and Elena have an even better chance of deepening their relationship. Poor Rebecca was staked in the back by Elena due to Elena's mistrust of her and I don't blame her one bit for that. Who knows what Barbie Klaus will do for her brother.

Caroline and Tyler's Budding Romance is Gone?
Caroline broke up with hybrid Tyler because she thinks he can't control himself and is Klaus' minion forever now. Do they have a chance of getting back together again?

The Dagger
Now that the dagger that was supposed to be used to kill Klaus is now gone, how will they get rid of this guy?

Thoughts on Miss Mystic Falls

Is it just me, or did anyone else secretly resent Bonnie for hating the Salvatore brothers? I really couldn't stand her icy looks to sweet Stefan.

I know that she blames them for her Grams dying but seriously... Stefan did save her life in a previous episode! Or has she forgotten that little fact?

Loved how Damon was all gallant, white knight coming to Elena's rescue when Stefan bolted from the contest to get his blood fix. What a bad time to lose it.

Jeremy + Anna are getting pretty serious.. I'm curious to see where that will head. Love scenes coming soon so get ready for it!

Am also glad that Caroline finally got to win something! She deserved it.

Uncle Jon needs to die pronto!

What did you think?

    Knew the girls would all come around sooner or later, they've all been friends too long. Damon's more of a "dark knight" but he can rescue me ANYTIME! Was sorry to see Anna die. She and Jeremy were good together. Would like to see him with either Bonnie or Caroline (only his girls seem to have a problem with dying!) I agree: was glad to see Caroline win Miss Mystic Falls, and was glad to see Uncle/Daddy Jon taken out. Would like to see this lens updated cuz so much has happened! Great job.

    I do think Bonnie has gone a little over the edge; I realize this is all a lot to take in, but still, she's definately freaked and reacting poorly. I kind of like Uncle Jon, I think he makes a good contrast and shows a different side of things.

If you want to read some recaps that will make you spit coffee(or your beverage of choice) all over your computer monitor then head over to Thomas-Galvin.com.

These are insanely funny!

A Few Good Men Episode

Damon was super evil in this episode, all heartbroken and bitter.

Did you really believe him when he told Alaric that Isobel slept with him? He was obviously trying to make Alaric believe that Isobel didn't give a crap about him. That scene was difficult to watch, poor Alaric!

I believe that Isobel really did love Alaric. Otherwise, why did she give him that lapus lazuli ring? Those rings are significant and too important to waste on someone you do not care deeply about.

Lucky for Alaric he had his trusty ring on to save him from Damon. Well technically, he died but then he came back to life.

Isobel loved him. I think her vampire obsession got the best of her though. She's trying to protect both Elena and Alaric from something evil.

She's kind of evil herself for having her bff killed, don't you think? That is, if it really was her behind the strange guy who got hit by a truck.
Any thoughts on this one?

Elena and Stefan Bedroom Scene!

There appears to be a bedroom scene between Elena and Stefan! Is it true? I'll bet it's just a dream though, it might be too soon for that, especially since Stefan is claiming that he's leaving town.

Edit: Yes, that bedroom scene did happen! Are you as bummed out as I am that The Vampire Diaries won't be airing new episodes until January?

"162 Candles" Season 1, Ep 8

Spoiler Alert! Don't read any of this if you have not seen the episode and don't want it ruined for you.

Stefan's 162nd birthday has arrived. Elena is still trying to cope with Vicki's brutal death and is finding it increasingly difficult to lie to her friends and loved ones; like Matt (Vicki's brother) and her good friend Bonnie.
She really wants to share what's going on with her and Stefan (especially with Bonnie) but cannot due to being sworn to secrecy by Stefan.

Stefan's vampire best friend (Lexie) rolls into town to pay a visit for his b-day. I love how different he acts with her; he's much more at ease and outgoing. We get to see a new Stefan here and it's a nice change from the brooding and serious Stefan we see with Elena.

All of sudden, Damon is more worried about covering up his tracks. The town folk are slowly closing in and searching for the vampire among them. Damon tries to play the part of "the good guy" when he gives a package of vervain to the sheriff.

When will the town's people figure out that their supplier, (poor Zach) has been on vacation for way too long?
Of course, Damon is up to no good and has something evil planned.

He is all about covering his own butt. Damon uses his mind compulsion to get Caroline to throw a party at the Grill. Why doesn't anyone think to give her a necklace with vervain too? He later calls her "useless" (and some other hateful words that I can't remember) when she cannot get Damon's necklace back from witch girl Bonnie.

Wow, this guy is really cruel. Has he no heart left in him at all? Apparently not, because later you realize that this whole party was just a ruse to get the heat off his killing sprees.

He attacks some innocent bystander and uses his mind compulsion, yet again, to get a witness to blame Lexie for the attack.

My question, how did he get the girl to be able to identify someone she had never even seen before?

I don't know how, but she pointed Lexie out to the cops and the sheriff injects vervain into her and leads her away. Outside Lexie, escapes and tries to attack the sheriff.

Damon, trying to look like the good guy, intervenes and stakes Lexie!

He kills Stefan's best friend. This guy is heartless. And all this happened while Stefan and Elena were watching.

I suppose that Stefan could not have done anything to save Lexie but this scene was really painful.

Stefan's anger is unleashed when he tries to stake Damon. I loved the fighting scene as Stefan opens up a can of whoop **s on Damon. He really deserved it.

But when it came down to killing time Stefan doesn't do the deed, claiming that since Damon saved his life (from the wooden bullet and staking from news reporter guy Logan) he is now saving his and they were now "even."

Do you think Stefan should have saved Lexie? I kept thinking that he would come to her rescue but it never happened!

And what the heck is Damon up to anyway, what are his evil plans? Thoughts?

"Haunted" Season1, Ep 7, What do you think?

Halloween Episode.........

Note: If you haven't seen the ep. then don't read this! Spoilers..

We saw just a bit of Bonnie's powers come out when Damon tried to snatch the necklace away from her. Damon's hand was burned when he tried to touch it. She quickly ran away. I was a little disappointed that they didn't give us more details here!

I'm intrigued by her story and apparently the necklace belonged to her great, great, great, great (?) grandmother who was a very powerful witch.

Stefan had to stake Vicki because she was going to kill Elena. This all happened in front of Jeremy mind you. He was already a big mess before this. I almost broke down in tears when Jeremy asked Elena "Why does everybody have to die on me?"

You could hear the agony in his voice and I felt so sorry for him. Poor kid.

What the heck else could Stefan have done? NOTHING, Vicki was out of control and nothing would have stopped her, she was addicted and would have killed anyone to get her next "fix."

Elena asked Stefan if he would erase Jeremy's memory so that he would forget that he witnessed her brutal death. Stefan admitted that he could try but he was not sure if it would work, it was just too risky.

Damon shows up all of sudden and volunteers to do it, showing Elena that he does have a little remorse and lied earlier when he said, "You confuse me for someone with remorse." Liar.

Elena accepts his help and so the deed is done. Stefan seemed so heartbroken that he couldn't help her, but really Damon SHOULD have since it was all his mess anyway. Maybe that was his way of apologizing?

What did you think? Who will be next on the chopping block and when will we learn more about how Stefan and Damon died?

Most importantly, is the fact that Elena told Stefan she wished she could forget ever meeting him but really wouldn't do it because, she didn't want to lose the way she felt about him.

The scene I loved the most, however, was when Stefan killed Vicki and he had to take Jeremy home (leaving Elena alone with Vicki's body), Stefan then calls Damon and asks for his help.

It must have been the tone in Stefan's voice and Damon's facial expression but that scene was very significant and very touching. These guys are brothers and no matter what is going on between them and no matter how much they seem to dislike each other for their particular lifestyles, they still help each other. That is loyalty.

You see, this isn't just a plain old "love story," and not even just about the townspeople getting themselves ready to hunt them some vampires, it's also and IS becoming more about these two brothers and their relationship.

Wow, I can't wait until next week!

This is my addiction now!

"The Lost Girls" Season1, Ep 6, What do you think?

Note: If you haven't seen the ep. then don't read this! Spoiler..

I accidentally thought the show would air at 8pm (whoops), it's 7pm central time. I did catch the last 30 minutes which I guess is okay.

What did you think about Damon saving Stefan's life from that bullet? I love the part where he says, "If anyone is going to kill you it's gonna be me!" This only proves to me that he would NEVER hurt his brother.

He could have just stood there and let him die while that news reporter staked him to death, but of course he wanted his ring back so I guess that's a good reason too.

You've got to love Damon.

What about Vicki? She's obviously going to be VERY out of control, and I don't know how Stefan can help her control herself.

Elena seemed angry to know that she was now a vampire... it seems as if she would have preferred that she died.

I would hate to see Vicki killed off. Her brother (Matt) is just so sweet and that would just kill him AND Jeremy as well.

I also can't believe that Elena decided she didn't want to be with Stefan! How is his brother's crazy antics his fault! She should hate Damon and not Stefan.

However, I do understand why she does it, since he's unintentionally brought all this danger into her life.

Lying to her family and close friends is something she just can't bare with (for now). Of course, this won't last!

I have lots of question such as..."How did Stefan make the final choice to become a vampire?" What strikes me as odd is that when he was in Elena's room he told her, "I never wanted this," or something to that effect. So what did that mean?

Was he changed against his will? We'll find out later I suppose.

I can't wait until the next episode! So what do you think..any insight?

Stefan vs Damon

powered by Youtube

What's the story about?

SIbling rivalry over a girl........

Stefan is the younger brother who returns to the town of Mystic Falls with a quest to learn more about Elena. Elena is a high school girl who has tragically lost her parents. She has to face life without them while trying to watch over her younger brother who always seems to be getting high.

The story is interesting because there is an intense sibling rivalry between the two vampire brothers (Stefan and Damon) who don't really get along.

There are also some additional interesting side stories such as Bonnie who is played by Katerina Graham. Her grandmother has informed her that she is a witch.

Later, you'll start to see her powers grow as the story progresses!

Both brothers, seem to want Elena and are intrigued. Stefan seems to really be in love with her by the end of the first episode.

Why do they want Elena so Badly?

Vampire Diaries

Both brothers not only have an intense rivalry because of a past love (Katherine), but they also both seem to want Elena for unknown reasons to me.

Perhaps it's because she is the spitting image of Katherine?

Whatever the reason Stefan points out to Damon (in the pilot episode) that she is NOT Katherine and he needs to stay away from her.

Stefan is already enamored by Elena and will do anything (whatever it takes??) to protect her.

Damon treats the whole issue like a game and he loves to make Stefan's life miserable by intruding and showing up when he's clearly not wanted.

His presence is a huge threat to Stefan since he could kill Elena (if he wanted) and anyone else easily and has already killed quite a few people by the end of the first episode.

Unfortunately, since Stefan does not feed from humans (because he is compassionate and good) he is not as strong as Damon!

Who is this sexy man?!

The Evil Vampire- Damon

Vampire Diaries

Not only does the name "Damon" sound sort of similar to "Damien," from the movie "The Omen," but this character by Ian Somerhalder is something else.

Damon is the bad or I should say "evil vampire." He has followed his brother back to Mystic Falls (sort of like stalking him).



Ian Somerhalder as vampire Damon Salvatore
Photo from vampire-diaries.net

In the pilot episode it appears as if Damon just wants Stefan to be miserable and goes to extremes to ruin any chances of happiness that his little brother might find.

Stefan really just wants a chance at a normal life with a "living" person. Damon, on the other hand is much different. He seems to LOVE being a vampire and loves to feed off humans with no remorse.

He has already started to upset the delicate balance of the small town by leaving dead and mauled bodies in the woods and in town raising fear and suspicion.

Gorgeous bad boy vamp!

Another great picture!



the power of thoughts

Great short chat with Ian Somerhalder

Ian talks about his character (Damon) and his motivations to be "bad"

I can't speak for anyone else, but after I saw this, I realized where Damon might be coming from. "He's lonely," as Ian says "And even his brother doesn't want to be near him!"

This is very interesting and as you watch the episodes you start to see that even though Damon is such a jerk (and a cold blooded killer) he's still loyal to his brother.

There was a certain scene where he had all the power to do just that, but he didn't!

In the episode "The Night of the Comet," when Stefan finds Vicki and Damon up on the roof, Damon is trying to kill or do something bad to Vicki because she remembered him.

Stefan tries to intervene but he's NO match for Damon. It's all in Damon's hands and he could have brainwashed Vicki to point the finger at Stefan and tell everyone that he was a vampire.

But he didn't! I think even Stefan was surprised by this.

Damon kind of blows it off, saying "It wouldn't fit his scheme" or something like that
but I don't believe it one bit.

After all, why would he want to have his brother killed? Because that is exactly what would happen if the town found out about Stefan.

How will Stefan protect Elena from his evil brother?

Will he eventually give in to his thirst and feed from humans?

The big question is how will Stefan compete against his older and much stronger brother?

He is lacking in vampire strength because he refuses to kill humans so how can this story play itself out?

I think he needs to visit a blood bank after hours and just go crazy, this way he doesn't have to kill anyone.
