Okay, we were hoping for some more exciting things to crop up before posting, but it seems as though today is a slow news day (actually, it’s slow in general – the most exciting thing that happened to me today was viewing a photo of a giant parsnip. At least Vee gets to watch the True Blood finale!). Maybe tomorrow will bring us some nice, new promos, eh?
For those of you in the USA who may have missed it, or just want to watch it again (and again), the Vampire Diaries pilot is available as a free download from Amazon and iTunes.

We tweeted this earlier, but the Vampire Diaries pilot re-run last night pulled in strong numbers, with 2.04 million viewers. Read all about it at TV By the Numbers.
Courtesy of a kind soul, we have some additional stills from “Night of the Comet” (EP02/101) and “Friday Night Bites” (EP03/102) to share with you today. And yep, still loving Caroline’s scarf.
Vampire Diaries has officially joined the Television Without Pity club. If you’re a TWoP addict (like me), you know to tighten your snark cap before delving into their recaps. Vampire Diaries fans have been snarking their own canon for years, so watching others take the reins on the TV show is going to be entertaining indeed. (Not that we won’t be having our own fun in this regard, but we’re into sharing.) Cindy McLennan has posted her recaplet of the pilot (full recap to come later), TV is the Answer tackles big questions, and Vampire Diaries now has its own shiny, official forum.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has an interview with Paul – he talks about the difficulty in casting Stefan, the particular rules of Vampire Diaries’ vampires, and those night shoots.
As for the matter of vampires in daylight, “It makes life so much easier for us as actors, because it’s not all night shoots all the time,” Wesley says. “I know that L.J. Smith, the author of the books, didn’t think of that for my benefit, but I’m still grateful.”
In others news: Do you have your tickets for PaleyFest’s CW Fall Premiere Party on Monday, September 14th? Vampire Diaries executive producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson are now officially confirmed to appear AND it has just been announced that “Night of the Comet” (aka the second episode of Vampire Diaries) will also screen at the Los Angeles shindig. The party/panel is open to the public and tickets are free, though you do need to reserve them in advance. We look forward to hearing your reports!
And for those of you in the Tampa Bay area, Vampire Diaries and Florida Blood Services have teamed up: Anyone donating blood through Thursday can get a voucher for two free tickets to a Vampire Diaries premiere screening at the Ritz Theater in Ybor City, sponsored by FBS and CW44. Check out the Tampa Tribune for more info. Those of us outside of the USA will chunter quietly with envy at all the good stuff you guys get in exchange for a few pints of blood. ;)

Some odds and ends to gather ’round. First up, thanks to Marissa for letting us know that The Vampire Diaries is scheduled to begin airing on the Go! Channel in Australia this October. Still no exact start date, but better than the general “end of 2009″ we’d been hearing. As soon as we have a date, we’ll let you know.
Many thanks to Caroline for these scans of Paul and Ian talking Stefan and Damon in the new issue of US Weekly (you guys can stop asking us about whether Paul is single now, thaaaaank you) and Ian in the Fall Preview 2009 issue of TV Guide.
And finally, CW Source has posted their Comic Con interview with Nina. She talks about the usual topics here, but also provides a teaser for the second episode, “Night of the Comet.”

We rounded up this factoid last night and weren’t quite 100% on it; seeing as the name popped up in our comments too, we feel pretty confident in saying that our Jason Harris in the Vampire Diaries: A Darker Truth webisodes is an actor by the name of Matt Perello. The only major credit we could find to his name is a film called Last Bullet. You can see his bio on the film’s website. (Thanks to Danielle and jlgparis for the info.)
Also: The start of our Vampire Diaries Episode Index is now up. Not much there now as we await network synopses and some titles for post-Pilot episodes, but you can get an idea for how we’re planning to organize it. The landing page will be fairly streamlined, with the bulk of info for each episode living elsewhere on the site. (And can we just mention that we’re getting more and more excited about adding to this? And soon? A note about the episode numbering: We went with the production numbers to avoid confusing the slew of you who follow the production team/cast on Twitter. If you’re still confused why you see different episode numbers elsewhere, check out the infobox on the Pilot episode entry in the Wiki for clarification.)
- [Images] Obviously this will link to that episode’s stills in our Media Gallery.
- [Spoilers] In an effort to curb some of the more spoilery spec here on the blog, spoilers will now live in the Spoiler Zone in our discussion forum. There are two reasons for this: 1) We wanted to make the choice to seek out spoilers just that – a choice. If you click into the Spoiler Zone and then come crying to us about being spoiled, we won’t have any sympathy for you, and 2) relegating the spoilers to the discussion forum will make it easier for people to talk about them freely, away from virgin eyes. That said, we’ve removed a lot of specifics from the spoilers posted (and context). From this point forward, we’re into building anticipation (and we know some of you live for spoilers), not ruining major plot points. That said, this doesn’t mean we’re eliminating spoilery topics from the blog completely and we’ll continue to use the spoiler banner to give a heads up. (And now “spoiler” doesn’t even sound like a real word anymore after all of that.)
- [Wiki Entry] This is where you will find expanded info about each episode, including a detailed synopsis (after the episode has aired in the U.S.), other cast info, trivia, production details, music, quotes, reviews, etc. And it’s as good as you help make it, so why not sign up for the Wiki and help out?
SpoilerTV has an synopsis for “Night of the Comet” (1.01 or episode 2) up on their site, via the CW. If you want a play-by-play of the ep, by all means – have at it. If you’d rather have a general, abbreviated version, you can check it out on the Episode Index page.
And finally, we have a slew of new spoilers up. Again, visit the Episode Index to pick your poison.

We have ten more stills from episode two of the Vampire Diaries, ‘Night of the Comet’, for your viewing pleasure (the others are in the gallery). For those of you wanting to see more Stefan and Damon together on screen (*cough* Vee *cough*), some of these should make you very happy. ;)
(Fair warning: some of these images might be considered spoilery.)
