The Vampire Diary

Some more images from the latest Vampire Diaries episode have been released, courtesy of VampireSite.net. Kind of spoilery if you haven’t seen the episode (the scene where Damon tortures Mason, actually) yet. Check out a few of them below and find the rest in their gallery!

 

 

1. The Script “This = Love” – Amazon UK
2. The Black Keys “Tighten Up” – Amazon US, Amazon UK
3. The Temper Trap “Science Of Fear” – Amazon US, Amazon UK
4. Athlete “Wires” – Amazon US, Amazon UK

And here are the ratings for “Plan B” via TV by the Numbers:

Over on the CW  The Vampire Diaries scored a 2.4 rating with women 18-34 and Nikita gave almost half of it with a 1.3 W18-34 rating, though that was on par with its last original.  The Vampire Diaries matched season highs with total viewers, adults 18-34 and adults 18-49.

7. Alaric May be Safe… for Now: “Kevin and I both feel so strongly that that character is a man,” Plec explains. “He’s got a maturity. He’s got gravitas. He’s a really important character to have on the show and, because his own personal journey kind of arced out with Isobel’s storyline at the end of last season, we’re just biding our time and waiting for the moment to start his new journey. And we’ve promised him that it will happen and we can’t wait to get into it.”

What were your expectations when you signed on last season?

Somerhalder: “I’ve been around long enough to not have expectations, because you’re immediately setting yourself up for disappointment. But I could tell we had the chance to make a quality show, and I think we’re accomplishing that.”

Accola: “Any expectations I had have been completely shattered, because the character I play is so different from what I initially auditioned for. I mean, it’s still Caroline, but she’s very different.”

Thanks to The Vampire Diaries Italia for the heads up!

There’s so much story so far this season. Are you confident it will take you through 22 episodes?

KW: Yes. I mean, we are already into the third season. We are actually trying to figure out the breaking point. Where are we going to stop at the end of this season? We kind of know where our season finale. We know what we want the last — I know a couple of the cliffhangers already, at least a lot of them, and I’m trying to figure out “where do I stop?” It’s so much fun. It’s a hard show to write. There’s a lot of mythology. I like slowing it down for the relationship stuff. So you don’t know how far we’re going to get.

TVGuide.com: Will the tension between Mason and Damon progress?
Kinney: It’s been a boxing match from the start. Mason was trying to be cool; he didn’t come to Mystic Falls to kill vampires. It’s why he chains himself up … because he knows what can happen if he does turn. Mason offers a hand and says, “Let’s squash this and be cool, I’m not your enemy,” and then [Damon] tries to kill Mason. There’s a huge amount of tension there and every week it’s going to escalate. They’re not going to be sitting at the bar drinking beers anytime soon.

Head over to TV Guide to read the rest of the chat.

Why does Katherine want the moonstone?
You have to watch.  I can tell you that it has a lot of power. It can do a lot of things.  It’s evolved since we started, since talking with Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec about storyline and where things are going to go.  I can’t say for sure what it does, but I can tell you it can do a lot.

Will viewers learn how Mason and Katherine came to be working together?

KINNEY: There’s always variables and questions. Not everything is so cut and dry. We saw, in the last episode, that they’ve known each other for a year, but you don’t necessarily know the entire background. Viewers will understand more as the episodes go on, but I don’t think they’re going to see an exact courtship just because Katherine is a mysterious character. Part of her charm is that you don’t know that much about her, she doesn’t give that much away and you don’t necessarily know her intentions. She can be charming and come across as really honest and with good intentions, and then completely turn, even in that relationship. Mason is with her, but I think they both have a couple of cards up their sleeve.

The full interview – over at Collider.

“This season in Mystic Falls, the past is coming back for something, though it is not clear for what yet,” he said. “Katherine, Elena’s look-alike, is back. We have not seen the worst of Katherine yet. Next week’s episode (which airs tonight) will be a game-changer.

Thanks to @CW_VampDiaries for bringing this to our attention!

How much does she blame herself for Caroline turning?
I think enough to really make her want to help her and do what she can to make Caroline’s situation better. But at the end of the day, I stand by Bonnie, and her [thinking] “If these vampires hadn’t come to town, my grandma would still be here.” And people think Bonnie makes these decisions knowing the end of the episode — these are characters that have no idea what’s going to happen from the actions that they do. And I think that if Bonnie knew that Caroline was going to become a vampire, I don’t think she would have pressured Damon to give her the blood. But she didn’t know. She had no idea Katherine was going to go in there and do that. She had no idea that Tyler Lockwood was going to get into an accident and crash the car and Caroline would be in the hospital. These characters — people forget that they have no idea what’s going to happen if they do certain actions. So I think she feels — obviously as guilty as you can when you know you made a mistake — but at the same time — she made a mistake but she’s spending more time trying to figure out how do we fix this? How do we make this better?

Backing up a little bit, why turn Caroline and not someone else?
Julie: We love Candice Accola [the actress who plays her] so much. We love the bubbliness and the fun, the zest and the sass that she brings to the show as an actress and we thought it would be really fun to explore that kind of persona in vampire form which I think has been successful for us. She brings a levity and a sweetness and feistiness to our vampire story line which I enjoy seeing. It’s an extra source of humor and an extra source of heart that is really helping us.
