Every time you say “vampire diaries” I want to say “vam-pyre diaries” like what’s his name from Buffy- Andrew!! 😆

Cheryl Abbott

1am here in the UK, can't sleep! So thanks for dropping this. 🤗

Tom

Yay 2 episodes in 1 day

RavenLord

Just in time for my dinner hour! There's no duo I would rather spend the time with right now. I don't know why it struck me only now after watching this series a few times, but those bedrooms don't seem to be the average teenager's bedroom, LOL! There doesn't seem to be any personality to Elena and Jeremy's bedrooms, and I would never peg them as bedrooms in which a teenager is residing. Even Buffy, busy as she was, had definite teen touches. Myself...no. My walls were plastered with posters, my bed stuffed with plushies, shelves with lots of little figurines to represent different parts of my growing-up years. Maybe I'm just seeing here a different regional culture, or wealth level, or something?

The diary of the vamp....yres....lol

I gotta say, Katherine is one of my favorite characters. I can't wait for you guys to get all the lore. And, yeah, the Katherine, Damon, Stefan relationship is complex. I gotta say though.... being in a love triangle with your sibling is kinda icky.

Michael Instone

Boys you got me watching this again. I blame you, but seriously I'm enjoying this because of your reactions and you have me in stiches. So you got me.

Joshua Shields

First episode without an onscreen appearance by Bonnie (Kat Graham) or Caroline (Candice King)

Joshua Shields

always cool seeing the mum from Kyle XY getting so much screentime as the Sheriff.

Courtney Kirk

My two favorite shows! Charmed and TVD plus True Blood, Buffy, and Angel. Love it! I will rewatch this show a million times lol.

Joshua Shields

The teens of this show aren't written or portrayed very teen-like. No discussing bands or pop culture besides that throw-away line of Stefan liking that one Miley song. These are all teens who think they're adults so have thrown out everything "childish" to focus on adult things like alcohol & drugs. i think it's partly why i prefer teen shows like The OC (which Stefan's actor had a recurring arc in) - they achieve that balance of teens doing adult things much better.

KatieBee

My house was built in 1889 so seeing these flashbacks to 1864 is a mind fuck for me. Horse and buggy my God

RavenLord

I've not tried The OC. It sounds like maybe I should. I do like this show, but I think it would have been better served if they had started with them all being adults instead of attempting a high school setting.

You guys really shouldn't feel pressure to be Team Anyone, especially this early on, since they really haven't shown us who any of these characters are yet. I love that you view this episode as having a lot going on, since these are very slow paced episodes compared to the rest of the series, so you're in for a ride once we really get cooking. I feel like you're being super cautious about saying bad things about Damon because you know he has fans and you're worried about offending us, but let me assure you, as a Damon fan--we all know that he is terrible and unlikable in these early eps, so we're not going to hold it against you! Every character on this show will go through a lot of transformation, so it's okay to have varying opinions about everyone at different points in the series. Do NOT look up a chart about vampire lore rules between shows just yet, as there are a lot of rules around things like compulsion that haven't been revealed on the show yet, so you'll spoil yourself if you go looking. Thanks for the awesome reaction, as always!

Clare B

I always forget how bingeable this show is! It kept me so occupied in my teen years, I really underappreciated how plot heavy it is though, so much happens. Can't wait to revisit with you guys

cil

One thing this show does well is establishing and expanding on the lore. It’s kinda wild seeing how much of the lore is set up this early in the series and how consistent and expansive it becomes as the show progresses. 😌

sbscarlett

I forgot how fast paced this show was. CW writers had rent to pay, they needed to keep the people hooked! 😂

sbscarlett

There's actually an amazing video essay called "Why are there so many Confederate vampires?" that you guys should check out. Because you're right, there definitely is a pattern!

Trinity Bernhardt

I forgot how good the Katherine reveal was. It makes even more sense he was blown away by seeing Katherine's lookalike.

Trinity Bernhardt

I haven't been watching True Blood yet, but someone watching all the supernatural shows may need to make the cheat sheet based on where you are.

Snctionedl0ve

Just a little lore drop nothing that’s a spoiler, but in this show blood sharing (drinking each others blood) is considered romantic / sexual!

boleynns

Love this episode! So fun to see Elena confront Stefan so early in the show, and I genuinely do love how directly she handles things (even in past episodes, the way that she very plainly is like "Why are you being so shady" basically haha). Love to see Nina Dobrev play a 2nd character with Katherine here as well! And the whole sequence with Vicki and Damon is so classic, this episode for Vicki in general was so good. Great reactions to receive on a Saturday night :)

Robke

Definitely seen many bedrooms like this when I was a teen myself, not all teens are the same and not all parents are the same in allowing the rooms to be kept a certain way😄

Robke

It is a small spoiler. Besides it's not even true here yet They've come up with the blood sharing thing way later in the series, so I don't think such early occurances count, especially here, the show is still finding it's footing and lots changed since the first season. Damon and his crow and long distance mind control abilities have disappeared and never came back😄

Snctionedl0ve

It was said to be true by julie plec (the creator) during one of the expos back when the show was mainstream, She confirmed it was taken from the books and added to the show.

Robke

I am SO glad Elena gets to the truth early, hate when shows drag and drag the secrets😄

Robke

Yes, but for the later seasons. I don't believe this applies to Damon and Vicki here

Amanda P

I love this episode!! This is where I feel it really starts to find its footing 😊 tvd saturdays sounds like a good plan to me! Feel like there could be fun names made for all the scheduled days lol like True Blood Tuesdays, something something supernatural Thursdays 😅, Salvatore Saturdays? Idk I'm just being silly

Robke

Damon is a menace. Anything to get under Stefans skin. Even during his partying with Vicki sequence he of course took the oportunity to trash Stefans bedroom. 😂 I LOVE the Anberlin cover of Enjoy the silence that plays during it🥰

Snctionedl0ve

It’s not always seen as sexual, it often needs a relationship before they share blood in order to work, but it is stated in later season by damon & stefan that blood sharing is often intimate and a way of forming / maintaining trust, it’s like sharing bodily fluids etc.

Robke

Exactly :) later in seasons. It's not relevant here. And there is no need to spoil for what's to come even if it's for minor things😊

Snctionedl0ve

It’s not a spoiler when it’s shown in this episode, you can see that the blood had a effect on vicki, don’t tell me I spoiled when I know I didn’t, thanks for your opinion but I was just telling Sergio and Cody a fun fact, I’m not engaging in the conversation anymore respectfully.

Kimberly S. (Rawr)

Welp the cat’s out of the bag. Honestly so real for freaking out with that reveal. This is one of my favorite episodes. We get some pivotal flashbacks, lore, & of course DRAMA! The scenes of Damon turning & dancing with Vicki are so fun. Their acting chemistry was wonderful. Damon’s humor & snark in this one is great. The brother dynamic in the past was so sweet before Katherine messed with their relationship. She was having way too much fun toying with the brothers. The vampire tracking compass device was so extra but an interesting plot device. Vicki breaking down to Stefan was so sad. The acting was on point. Oof her feeding & completing her transition tho. Girl has been through it! 💔 Damon has done some despicable things but Ian plays him with such charisma. You can’t help but be drawn to his screen presence. That was a jam packed episode. One of my favorite reactions from y’all 🖤

Danny

I remember watching this back in high-school in 2011 lmao. This show has a special place in my heart. If I could, I recommend dexter at some point. Its honestly such a good series. Every season i loved.

Robke

That's ok, don't reply, I will leave one last response too: What effect did it have on Vicki that would relate to blood sharing being a personal thing? Damon literally compelled her to have 'loved' drinking his blood, there was nothing else to it because humans don't normally enjoy it. And how was it personal for Damon here? He did it like it was the most casual thing in the world. It's just not a thing in the series YET, Cody and Sergio keep saying every episode they want to find things out from watching the show, and not from the comments, so there is no need to mention stuff that will be revealed later anyway.

orna

You're correct, it's only romantic under very specific circumstances which are explained in later seasons and which don't apply here, people love to drop 'little hints' which the guys have said they don't want

The Horror Bandwagon

So many great moments this episode! I feel like this show is going to test us haha

The Horror Bandwagon

Thanks Boleynns! Seeing Nina Dobrev play two very different characters was very exciting to see. Can't wait to see more of her range as well as Vicki's actress. Her acting was so good this episode!

The Horror Bandwagon

Consider us Hooked. I really like that it just gets better and better as it goes on

The Horror Bandwagon

Oh no worries at all on us feeling pressured to think a certain way. With all our reactions we always go into it with an open mind and take in the story. Though this does remind us of the Angel and Spike dynamics so we can't help but think of which team is better lol But currently I'm undecided haha We definitely appreciate the assurance but worry not because we will speak our minds on these characters regardless of popularity! Y'all know how passionate we get lol It's happened to all our shows we've watched so we're used to people agreeing or disagreeing with us. I think it might seem that way because we are still learning about these characters and it's so early on that I am seeing it from different perspectives based on what they are trying to say and where our theories lead us. But personally I think we have been pretty critical of both Stefan and Damon. Oooh, thanks so much for the heads up! I think we might just need to write our own cheat sheet lol As always thank you for being here with us Julie, You've been an OG with us so we are happy to have you along for the ride with us ❤️

Robke

Dexter reactions would be awesome :D

Kimberly S. (Rawr)

Oh y’all aren’t ready 😂 It’s gonna be a chaotic ride. Can’t wait! 💜

Snctionedl0ve

Like i had said i’ve dropped this conversation because it seems my point was taken and misunderstood, Please stop commenting / replying to me and move on with your day.

Sanya Arif

Stefan didnt have to come back, well , he was doing fine. Damon didnt need to come after him, so everyone in danger, Elena being here, people like to put it on Stefan but its just as much Damons fault really

Kate Murphy

It’s insane that CW had 22 episodes to write and managed to keep things fast-paced. Different era of TV. Can’t wait for you to get further in! :)

Kate Murphy

Aaaaaah I love the discussion! The wooden bullet is a perfect preview of how this show masters the subversion/improvements of common vampire tropes.

Astoria

One thing I like about the series is that Elena’s reaction in this moment is as realistic as it gets in this scenario. It’s not that typical “I had no idea about supernatural things or that you’re ancient and have to feed on blood, but I don’t care at all. To be honest, I actually find it really hot” reaction that the predominantly female characters often have. And I think you’ll really grow to love Damon, just like Ruby in SN. But for completely different reasons, of course. She was just the first character that sprang to mind.

honeybumble1012

I feel like the writers really subverted my expectations with Vicky because I kept thinking “Surely nothing else terrible will happen to her” then lo & behold 😭

Nicole Iannone

If only supernatural was on Wednesdays, then it could be Winchester Wednesdays lol

Jbug

omg so enjoying these reactions, hearing all your theories and opinions so far of the show. I xant wait to get futher in the story to fulling experience all that this show has to offer. the Vampire lore and there own stories are some of my favourite.. and if I can say im always team Damon from the start. hes so complex and he just always had me interested, I love him ❤️

orangeflavor

I 👏 LOVE 👏 LORE 👏 EPISODES!!! Also, your simultaneous "Oh nooooooo"s were perfect. And you talking about the wooden bullets suddenly made me imagine water guns filled with vervain and the chaos that would ensue, LOL.

I suppose the reason there are so many confederate vampires is because of how romanticized the idea of the “southern gentleman” is. I don’t know if Anne Rice started it and everyone else is following her or if they all came to it on their own. True Blood, Vampire Diaries, and Interview all take place in the south, so realistically it makes sense for there to be former Confederate slave owner vampires, but I would feel a lot more comfortable if all these writers would make them the villains instead of always being the romantic hero that we are supposed to like. Also, Twilight takes place in the Pacific Northwest, yet Jasper is still a confederate soldier—no excuse. I’m just glad they made Spike and Dru British instead of Southern. And Darla is from before the civil war, and was in Europe by the time it started. So Buffy sidestepped that issue. Not that Buffy didn’t have it’s own issues with race…

Kara Clark

Skeptical of this series after Twilight BS, assured by a late millenial coworker/friend this series was worth it. Enjoying watching for the first time w/ you ❤️

Kara Clark

So loving watching & learning this universe w/ you! Stefan looks so much like puppet Angel I can't take him seriously.🤣

Kizz'n' Tell

Ohh i forgot HOW MUCH i loved Damon xD God he's the best xD His lines are peak !! But also, yeah, every episode is so much and so many eps in a season it's hell of a story :D They dont make them like that anymore T.T

Vulpix

Katherine going after these two brothers at the same time is honestly so iconic. I've always been a throuple truther lmaooooo

Leolie Laida

Yeah, characters like Damon are priceless. The Wildcard, the Jester... its a fascinating archetype and adds so much entertainment to a story. On top of that he is just very charismatic and hilarious. That always helps forget all the stuff someone has done, lol. We also start to see cracks in the walls he is building up and it shows that there is more in him to discover, which is very welcome. On paper Damon is still an impulsive murderer, but thats the privilege of fiction; we are allowed to love people we should never love in real life

Parody4Life

I am glad Stefan decided to just fess up to being a vampire when she confronted him. You could tell he was really close to trying to deny it and come up with some really bad excuse. There was no reason for Damons abs to be hanging out like that but I am here for it. Thats one of my favorite things about True Blood, shirts optional. Also, I really hope since you are doing Vampire Diaries that you will also do The Originals. Its a spin off from Vampire Diaries and I personally loved it even more than Vampire Diaries.
