Vampire Diaries is an upcoming TV drama based on the books series of the same name by L. J. Smith. The plot revolves around Elena

Gilbert, a tragic young heroine who is the object of passion for two vampire brothers - one good, one evil - who are at war for her soul and for the souls of her friends and family.

* Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev): She is compassionate and kind with a smart wit and timeless beauty. 17 years old, fresh-faced, with lovely features, she once swept through life with the ease of a popular, well-adjusted pretty girl, until she suffered a tragedy: her parents were killed in a car crash four months ago, and now she and her younger brother Jeremy live with their Aunt Jenna. Most of the time, Elena simply tries to get through the day with the support of her friends Bonnie and Caroline and her ex-boyfriend Matt, whom she?s known since she was a little kid. Elena?s life is brightened with the arrival of Stefan, the mysterious, polite and gorgeous new guy at school whose past and identity are shrouded in mystery.

* Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley): A ?gloriously, amazingly, epic-ly beautiful young man, elegant and ageless,? he appears to be 17 or 18, but he?s really a 200-year-old vampire who has come to Mystic Falls in search of Elena. Stefan is poised, polite and reserved but easy to talk to, and intense sparks fly between him and Elena, who share the experience of having lost their parents.

* Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder): Early to mid 20s. Stefan?s brother, he?s a darkly handsome, strong, charming and smug vampire who can go from casual and playful to pure evil in less than a heartbeat. Damon?s interest in Elena unnerves Stefan. Though Damon hates small towns and considers them dull, it?s clear that he?s come to wreak havoc. Unlike Stefan, Damon has no qualms about killing humans.

* Jeremy Gilbert (Steven R. McQueen): 15 years old, he is Elena?s troubled but fundamentally decent little brother who has an ?outcast cute, grunge punk? look. He?s good looking and a heartthrob waiting to happen. Over the summer, he started sleeping with an older girl, Vicki, and he?d like to continue their relationship now that school?s in session, but she ignores him in front of her jock boyfriend, Tyler. She?s perfectly happy to buy drugs off him, however. Jeremy is smoking a lot of pot and drinking too much in an effort to cope with the death of his parents four months ago, and he doesn?t take seriously his Aunt Jenna?s attempts to rein him in.

* Bonnie (Katerina Graham): 17 years old, bubbly, adorable, loyal and bighearted, she is Elena?s best friend who is developing her psychic abilities and senses that Stefan is dangerous. She also ?sees? the black crow of death that seems to be following Elena.

* Jenna Moyer (Sara Canning): 29 years old, Elena and Jeremy?s aunt who took them in after the death of their parents, she is a brainy/sexy grad student who looks good in sweats and is hard at work on her thesis. She?s used to being the fun, cool aunt, and finds the transition to sudden parenting a bit daunting. Instead of packing school lunches, she hands her charges power bars and coffee. Jenna is trying hard and genuinely wants to be a good caretaker.

* Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig): 17 years old, he?s a handsome, all-American jock (Jeremy calls him a ?golden retriever?) and Vicki?s brother. He has known Elena her whole life and used to be her boyfriend. He?d like to get back together, but he knows she needs time after the death of her parents and he?s gentle and thoughtful about giving her space. However, he can?t help but feel worried that the new guy, Stefan, is going to sweep Elena off her feet before he can re-establish his relationship with her.

* Caroline Truitt (Candice Accola): 17 years old, a beautiful but slightly manufactured-looking queen bee type, she is friends ? and rivals ? with Elena. Though she does care about Elena, Caroline is resentful of her relationship with Stefan. When Caroline gets tipsy at a party and throws herself at him, he inadvertently humiliates and angers her with a polite but firm rejection.

* Tyler Stratton (Michael Trevino): 18 years old, athletic, cocky, attractive, and a bit of a jerk, he?s an alpha male who demonstratively marks his territory (i.e. Vicki) every chance he gets, particularly in front of Jeremy. Tyler can?t resist needling Matt about the fact that Elena seems to be falling for the new guy, Stefan.

* Vicki Donovan (Kayla Ewell): 18 years old, trashy-hot, with low self-esteem, she is Matt?s sister who works as a waitress at the Mystic Grill and enjoys popping pills and smoking pot. She hooked up repeatedly with lowerclassman Jeremy over the summer, but now she pointedly ignores him whenever her boyfriend, Tyler, is around. Vicki doesn?t believe any guy wants her for anything other than her body, or even that they should, but her relationship with Jeremy seems to go deeper than that.

Just looks like another Twilight... and that movie wasn't worth watching. I know vampire-obsessed girls would love to watch it.

In this picture, the guy tries to look exactly like that douchebag from Twilight: http://www.iimmgg.com/image/2978bedc15d6ca8eea5c2122c7a1eb08

It's deffo aimed at that audience

Only interesting thing for me so far is Boone from Lost and his character. I may give it one or two episodes, but given that it's on the CW, I don't imagine I'll be much past that.

Edit: Although the more I look into it, the less I may even watch those...

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
