Yup, exactly my reaction too. Can we shoehorn Lorne in somehow?

We can only hope that "college theme parties" will replace the 56 school dances a year that Mystic Falls High had.

I kind of hope Stefangelus/Silas will become compulsion king of Mystic Falls. Loving Paul Wesley's acting. Also,  my first reaction to the MF festival was "there's really enough people alive to do this?"

Me: "Wait, who is that again? Oh, I guess it's Bonnie's dad. Immediately less interested. I thought he was dead."

I'm seriously excited to start watching this show, but this pilot was kind of rough. Honestly, they might as well have just cut the Originals TVD up and added the way more interesting stuff at the end. I enjoyed the review, and I'm also excited you'll be reviewing this, Rowan. I just caught up with Veronica Mars you…

Oh, I think he did— I just wasn't 100% sure.

Had the same idea when I read this! It would be so fun.

It sounded like Martin Starr said "Off the Segway, Gob!" while knocking the man off the Segway. I was amused.

Yup, I'm rewatching VB, coming from the s2 first episode to this was surprisingly appropriate.

Man, I love/miss DWJ. I'll miss the Chrestomanci series as well.

I would love to see that, but apparently Rob Thomas has stated elsewhere she's a lawyer (according to my VM-superfan friend).

Cavemen win. Of course the cavemen win.

Do the astronauts have weapons?

Wow, that EXACTLY sums up how I feel about True Blood.
