You knew it was only a matter of time, right? We love our polls and this one’s big: Narrow down your favorite Vampire Diaries: Season One episodes to your TOP THREE. (I can do four, so I’m sweating a bit.) Which episodes made you yell at your television with joy or frustration? Challenged or solidified your allegiances? Turned your character perspective upside down? Which episodes left you with an emotional hangover the next day and had you dissecting it, minute by minute, scene by scene, in blog post comments or in forums? Which three episodes reel you back in, over and over again?
For the first time, we’re going multiple choice. Check your three favorite episodes and see where your fellow fans land. And if you’re so inclined, let us know how and why you settled on your picks.

Ready to get your heart ripped out? Take another shot of Vampire Diaries‘s 11th episode, the aptly titled Bloodlines, at 8/7c on the CW. It’s all bombshells and bomb-shells with Malese Jow’s first appearance as Anna, Gina Torres as one of Damon’s old flames, and that huuuuge revelation in the last ten minutes. Oh, right, and there’s that whole Elena n’ Damon road trip thing and Stefan’s abuse of cell phones and pod!Jeremy making with the library-learnin’. Go forth and discuss the good times over in the forums, and you can even chime in on the episode poll. Or perhaps you need a reminder of all those great songs you heard in this ep. New episodes of The Vampire Diaries return not soon enough March 25th! Refresh your anticipation by watching the promo trailer again.

The ratings for “Bloodlines” are in, with the episode being watched by 3.7 million viewers. From TV By the Numbers:
The return after an extremely long hiatus wasn’t kind to Vampire Diaries as its 1.6 for adults 18-49 may have tied a series low (checking now) in that demo. Supernatural fared better, its 1.3 adults 18-49 rating was slightly above its season average for new episodes. In the CW target demo, Vampire Diaries scored a 2.5 rating for women 18-34, tied for second in the timeslot.
And on the subject of “Bloodlines”, the episode is now available to download from Amazon if you’re in the USA. Fans in the UK can also download it from iTunes.
We’ve got a title for episode 15 of the Vampire Diaries, which will be called “A Few Good Men”. I don’t know about you, but it puts the strangest image in my head of Damon and Tom Cruise’s Lestat going head to head in a Mystic Falls court room.
There are some more spoilers zinging around about what we can expect for the second half of the season. Ausiello has a little spoiler about who Damon is going to hook up with next, while E!’s Kristin has some snippets from Julie Plec, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev on subjects such as the love triangle, Damon’s phenomenal kissing ability and what’s in store for Elena (aside from potentially being knocked out with a kiss from Damon).
The Hot Topic cast tour is under way in Atlanta, and the cast are currently signing autographs. While fans weren’t allowed to take cameras in, both Nina Dobrev and Michael Trevino tweeted some pictures for the fans. Nina’s photo shows her fellow cast mates to be a nice, normal bunch, while Michael seems to inspire them to display a little more insanity. ;) The Q&A session will be taking place shortly.
Finally, while Ella was visiting the set yesterday, Nina informed her that she’s NOT going to be at the Insurgence: Bloodlines convention in the UK in March. We’ve contacted Rogue Events to find out what’s going on there, and will let you know if we hear anything.

This post is a sticky. Keep scrolling to get to more recent news.
COMPLETE SONGLIST FOR BLOODLINES.
You know, it’s been so long since we’ve done this that we’ve almost forgotten how. Luckily, the hiatus is finally over! We’ve got a brand new episode tonight, and no sign of another hiatus on the horizon for the near future. Life is looking good, eh, Vampire Diaries fans? ;)
Watch and then swing by here to rate the new episode of The Vampire Diaries. Spoilers are welcome in the comments, though if you want some more in-depth discussion then head on over to the forums! (You’ll need to register, but it takes two seconds.)
A REMINDER: If you’re still having sound problems (or have excessive skipping, stuttering or glitches) while watching the broadcast, please let us know in the comments.
Quick guide to the poll options: Two words. ROAD TRIP! Elena’s is upside down in a ditch, so they’re off for an adventure in Damon’s car. 5 cars = LOVE. 1 car = MEH.

Vampire Diaries TV fans, your long hiatus nightmare is over. Grab your favorite snack, your favorite blanket or loved one (yes, cats count), and nestle into the couch for the first new episode since November 19th: Bloodlines airs at 8/7c on the CW. When we last left the Mystic Falls crew, Elena’s world had been turned upside down (quite literally), Stefan was left questioning why he didn’t do a “just in case” quick-clean at Mossy Manse, and Damon was out in the middle of the woods being…well, Damon. And let’s not forget the rest of the crew, with the head, nose and heart trauma, raging parental issues, lingering glances and coy smiles. And what is up with that way creepy pop and lock action in the middle of the road?
Oh, and did we mention this kick-ass lady? (Points to blog photo.) Not to mention the slew of new faces we’re set to meet tonight. The Vampire Diaries is back and “the Tomb Chapter” starts now.
And we’d like to take the time to remind you about this, which heads to Atlanta THIS WEEKEND (click the graphic for more details):

Katerina Graham dropped by to discuss the Vampire Diaries and her music with PIX Morning News. There’s a new sneak peek for Bloodlines featuring Bonnie and Grams, and be warned: discussion is a little bit spoilery for the episode.
