I don't know if someone posted this here, but I read an article today that explored the explosion of these vampire shows, films and books. They came to the conclusion that the reason for it is because of young girls wanting to have sex with gay men. :blink: Now does that make any sense whatsoever?

That was my thought as well when I saw the article: http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/10/16/women-se...mpires-esquire/

"Esquire has an interesting theory about the success of Twilight, HBO?s True Blood, and The CW?s Vampire DiarieVampires have overwhelmed pop culture because young straight women want to have sex with gay menen,? Stephen Marche writes."

Wow I hate to say this.. but the music and the story in the show are winning me over. It's not as cheesy as True Blood can be at times.

Did I mention the music? and how hot is Vicky? :p

You can find the soundtrack for all the episodes so far here:

I thought the vampires in True Blood seemed gay or at the very least bisexual. I'm glad its not like that in the vampire dia(Y)s. (Y)

I was very, very tempted to watch those webclips Rappy but I have a little more self control ton:)ht. :)

That's because Alan Ball, the shows creator, is openly gay. He's trying to create a parallel with the show's vampires and how they are being excepted by country, but not by religious fanatics. It is one of the most ignorant parallels I've ever seen, but there it is, pretty clear to see.

- but that's for a different thread though :p

Wow I did not know that. I thought something was up when the vampire queen was keen for man-on-man action.

Anyway back on topic - looking forward to the next Vampire Diaries ep! :D

How could they take Vicki out so quickly?

Exclusive: The shocking story behind last night's killer 'Vampire Diaries'

SPOILER ALERT: You know the drill. If last night?s Vampire Diaries is still taking up space in your FauxVo, stop reading now. Everyone else, onward and downward?

This sucks. My favorite Vampire Diaries character, nascent fang-bearer Vicki, bit the dust thanks to a stake-wielding Stefan in last night?s bloody good Halloween-themed episode. Or did she? In this exclusive interview, Vicki?s portrayer, Kayla Ewell, reveals shocking details surrounding her onscreen death, including the identity of the original killer (it wasn?t supposed to be Stefan!) and how a clue in last night?s eppy may foreshadowIs Vicki really dead this time?this time?

KAYLA EWELL: Sadly, yes. It?s funny because I almost died four tim

Has it been hard keeping the secret? the secret?

EWELL: Yes. It?s a relief to finally be able to talk about it. People have been coming up to me in L.A. going, ?Why aren?t you in Atlanta [working on the show]?? And I?m like, ?Oh, I?m just here visiting my family. I had a couple of days off.? I?ve had to basically lie. But The CW and Warner Bros. wanted [my death] to be a biHow long have you known that Vicki would die?ou known that Vicki would die?

EWELL: I knew very early on. But knowing it and actually going through it are two completely different things. Seven episodes is a lot of time to bond with people. Being back in L.A. has been harder than I thought it would be because this job was more special to me thSo when you initially signed on you knew it was only for seven episodes? it was only for seven episodes?

EWELL: Yes. [Vicki's death] was something that needed to happen in order for Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen

At least you got a chance to play a vampire! chance to play a vampire!

EWELL: It was such a gift as an actress to be the first [human] to turn. The audience got to go through the whole thinWas part of you hoping Kevin Williamson would change his mind?liamson would change his mind?

EWELL: Of course. I?d be lying if I said [leaving] wasn?t difficult. But it was also th

What was it like shooting your death scene?it like shooting your death scene?

EWELL: Funny story: In the original script, Jeremy kills Vicki. And that?s what we shot. Jeremy is forced to choose between saving the love of his life or his sister, and he chooses his sister. We shot the whole thing and I [moved back to] L.A. Then about a week and a half later, I got an e-mail from Kevin and [coexecutive producer] Julie Plec asking me to come back to Atlanta to reshoot my death sWhy the switch?e Stefan kills me.

Why the switch?

EWELL: They chose to have Stefan kill me because it makes him more of a hero since he saves Elena. There was also the question of would Jeremy know to Any chance you might return?rt?

Any chance you might return?

EWELL: Anything can happen on a vampire show. Dying doesn?t necessarily mean that someone?s gone forever? In the original script, when Vicki gets staked you see her disappear into dust. But in the [reshot scene that aired], Stefan pulls the stake out and Damon takes me away. So they left the ending open to interpretation.

      After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
