This week, we watched “Always and Forever” (Season 1, Episode 1) and “House of the Rising Son” (Season 1, Episode 2). So that means we are talking: - Klaus, the littlest bitch. - Agnes, this bitch. - Sabine, that bitch. - Katie, a snitching ass bitch. “KLAUS MIKAELSON, THE ORIGINAL VAMPIRE/WEREWOLF HYBRID, RETURNS TO NEW ORLEANS IN THIS SPIN-OFF OF THE VAMPIRE DIARIES” (“Always and Forever”) “A FLASHBACK TO THE 1800s” (“House of the Rising Son”) The more AMPed logline this time around?

The AMPire Diaries Episode 34: “Growing Pains” | “Memorial” AMPies, we are in Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries now. Please clap. And guess what? We recorded these episodes—“Growing Pains” (Season 4, Episode 1) and “Memorial” (Season 4, Episode 2)—during one of those “fun” Los Angeles heatwaves, so please bear with us as you listen to the heat seep into our brains in real time. So, what are our soup brains talking this week? Well... - "Heightened." - The "jacked little boy" image that haunts Morgan. - Damo reaching critical piss baby levels. - T-Klaus, aka the horniest we’ve been since Sage. - Punch cards. - The TVD cast as Klaus Mikaelson. - A good number of visual bits that don’t translate to the audio medium. - Another perfect Damo plan. - Standalone episode ideas for Bonnie. - Connor Jordan, an attractive man. - Grumpy Old Boys. - "Nice ink." - And even the new P’s (previouslies). “ELENA'S WORST NIGHTMARE” (“Growing Pains”) “A NEW DANGER COMES TO TOWN” (“Memorial”) The more AMPED logline this time around? Sorry to Elena’s worst nightmare, but there’s a new danger in town. “Memorial,” it is.

The AMPire Diaries Episode 33: “Before Sunset” | “The Departed” (feat. Michael Chasin) AMPies, it is here. We finally have a new (and of course, quite long) episode for you. And what do you know? It’s the Season 3 finale! *airhorn sound* Finally, we are discussing—with the help of resident boy, Michael Chasin (@MichaelChasin)—“Before Sunset” (Season 3, Episode 21) and “The Departed” (Season 3, Episode 22). But what exactly are we talking? Look, it’s a long episode that’s been a long time coming: We talk about A LOT. “A DAY WITHOUT A VAMPIRE” (“Before Sunset”) “THE SECRET HERO” (“The Departed”) The more AMPED logline this time around? Honestly, neither is good—and “A DAY WITHOUT A VAMPIRE” doesn’t actually make good on that promise—but “Before Sunset” definitely wins over "The Departed” in this particular case.

The AMPire Diaries Episode 32: “Heart of Darkness” | “Do Not Go Gentle” AMPies, we have a new (very long) episode for you!!! And we are discussing (at length) “Heart of Darkness” (Season 3, Episode 19) and “Do Not Gentle” (Season 3, Episode 20). More specifically, here’s what we’re talking: - The worst thing a white woman can say over and over again. (Spoiler alert: It’s “sisters.”) - Jill's true Klaus feelings. - The one-seasons ABC series Selfie. - Our desire to have Rebekah attend a high school dance. - Rose, baby! - Our old friend, Bloodybecky. - The podcast’s #1 Jeremy stan. - No more bits, starting in the Season 3 finale. - Jill's guess for the Big Bad of Season 5. - Jeremy's “Ghosts to Fuck” list. - TyTy v. Horsey: Dawn of Alphas. - The stans that we fear. - Rebesther. - Girl Dates. (‘Cause they're freaky like that.) - Damo's interesting negotiation tactics. - Bonnie's sex life. - LaToya's poor pinky finger. - BONNIE HAS A HOUSE. Listen as we go from tired and goofy to tired and sad. It’s gradual, but it happens! “TYLER RETURNS TO MYSTIC FALLS” (“Heart of Darkness”) “WHAT THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER” (“Do Not Go Gentle) The more AMPED logline this time around? Obviously, for Jill’s sake: We gotta go with “Heart of Darkness.” Whether you’re a Vampire Diaries obsessive or newcomer, join along with hosts LaToya Ferguson (@lafergs—Vampire Diaries obsessive), Morgan Lutich (@LorganMutich—Vampire Diaries obsessive), and Jill Defiel (@jiilbobaggins—Vampire Diaries newcomer) on their new podcast journey.
