The Vampire Diaries
« on: January 28, 2010, 06:35:32 AM »
A new year/board brings a new TVD topic, and here's the first new linked article: Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder on Elena vs. Katherine

Enjoy.

(Warning: there is a slight spoiler - but nothing that regular viewers probably haven't already figured out is going to happen.)

Sorry this is coming late but I recorded TVD last night and didn't watch it until a little while ago. But anyway, the DS '04 pilot's Kelly Hu appeared in last night's ep, in all her 1864 finery, and I love the way they made her character not only significant in what happens in 1864, but also in the present.

Actually, watching last night's ep was once again like watching DS what with flashbacks to the past, mysterious journals, and, of course, digging up a grave in the middle of the night to find one of them.  [snow_wink]

Anyone who might be interested can watch the ep online on the CW's Web site (once it becomes available in a day or so) or any number of other sites...

I was thinking of you last night MB!  I knew our minds were in the same place.  Digging up bodies, flashbacks, Kelly Hu, etc.  It was great! It just makes me sad that our beloved DS didn't get picked up. I talked to another DS friend recently who loved the pilot!  I hope I get to see it in LA this year. My luck they won't show it.
If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.

Yeah..I miss the days of Fox when they ordered 32 eps a year of 90210 and Melrose Place so there were no break  but it's all good....22 is the standard.  Hey how do you think I feel...90210 has been off since freaking November and not coming back till March 9! Luckily, The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, Supernatural, 90210 and Smallville are looking at early pick ups being announced coming soon! :) The VD was off the hook again tonight...so DS....oh what the pilot could have been!   [snow_sad]

The makeup they used for Kelly Hu and the other vamps who were sealed in the tomb back in 1864 was reminiscent of the dessicated makeup they used for Barnabas in the '04 pilot when he's first released. I'm going to have to pay attention to see who does TVD special effects makeup. Maybe it's the same people who did the '04 pilot...

Todd McIntosh worked on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and also was the head of makeup on the pilot! I hope they show it this year at the Fest if I get to go!  I checked out IMDB.com and he isn't involved in TVD!

Sorry Midnite honey.  I wrote you more in a message letting u know why I probably did that.  I know it's not a big deal but I hate to cause you guys extra work!

I don't think Todd is working on this series.  So far as I know, he now works with Kristin Chenoweth.  Great guy, though...

I am quite curious to see some of this--maybe I can find it on that website... (no TV here anymore...)

cheers, G.

Today the CW officially picked it up!

Excellent news! Though not all that surprising considering, as this article points out, TVD is the CW's most-watched show: Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and Gossip Girl Among Early CW Renewals
