There’s no getting around it – the hiatus sucks. But until The Vampire Diaries returns with new episodes on January 27th, it means we all get to analyze and over-analyze what’s happened in Season 2 thus far, and speculate where the remaining 11 episodes will take us. So have a bit of fun voting on your favorite episodes, moments, and tidbits from Season 2 thus far, and let us know what you liked/didn’t like/are looking forward to in the comments!
TONS MORE POLL QUESTIONS AWAIT YOU BENEATH THE CUT!

Finally! As one of our readers let us know a few days ago, Mads Langer has released the studio version of “The River Has Run Wild,” which was first heard on The Vampire Diaries (The Return). And you can download it for free! All you need to do is sign up for the Mads Langer mailing list, which you can do at his official site.
By the way – it’s absolutely gorgeous.

V-D.net reader Marjola emailed us with an interesting tidbit of news that’s sure to make many of you happy. Marjola was at Mads Langer’s concert in the Netherlands last night and after playing “The River Has Run Wild” (memorably featured in The Return), he announced he’d be giving away a free download of the song on his website as a Christmas present for fans. Considering he just tweeted about the studio version coming soon, could this Christmas gift be extra special? Keep an eye out!
And we’re pleased to announce the winner of the Vampire Diaries Marathon Scavenger Hunt – congratulations to Tammy Suber! She had all correct answers and wins the HUGE prize pack. This was an incredibly tough competition. We were triple-checking answers to be sure everything was correct – those Matt knocks were definitely a killer. There was one question in particular we decided was a little unclear – 10a: What is the last item Dr. Martin removes from Elena’s bedroom? – and, in the interest of being fair, we accepted two answers since some seemed confused as to whether the bathroom counted (it did, but we should have specified). So if you answered the picture of Elena in her cheerleading outfit or a hand mirror, we considered both of those answers correct. Also, a lot of people counted 9 shots being fired at the Salvatore brothers in Kill Or Be Killed, but one of the shots fired in the woods went into a tree; only 8 bullets made it into their collective bodies.
Thanks to Erin for constructing such a diabolical contest and to everyone who played and got so into it on Twitter. We hope you had fun!

The winter hiatus may well be chilling us all to the bone, but Marathon Week is here to chase away some of those blues. That’s right, a whole week of Vampire Diaries, two episodes a night, and it kicks off tonight with The Return and Brave New World (featuring poor Carter, who has got to be the world’s unluckiest carnival hand).
Be sure to keep an eye out for a post later on today, because we have something really special planned to celebrate this marathon week. You will love it.
We’ve got refresher links for people who find September is all a bit of a blur, and the reaction polls ready for those of you who may be seeing these episodes for the first time (or haven’t voted already for some crazy reason).

Thanks to Candice Accola Web for the heads up about Candice Accola’s guest spot on IGN’s Channel Surfing podcast! Candice drops in to discuss Vampire Diaries, Caroline, filming in Atlanta, and even talks about Dexter and The Walking Dead. You can download the podcast over at IGN.
Speaking of podcasts, the intrepid Melissa of The Televixen’s Vampire Diaries podcast has been busy playing catch-up on all of the episodes we’ve been recording this season. In case you don’t know by now, myself, Lucia of Heroine TV, Connie of Blast Magazine, Lee of From My Side of the Moon, and The Televixen herself have been podcasting Vampire Diaries since Season 1, and Season 2 is giving us a plethora of entertaining chat fodder. (Warning: The podcast is marked “explicit” for language and themes!) You can download from TheTelevixen.com or subscribe on iTunes! Here’s a list of direct links for all Season 2 podcasts posted so far (with the Rose/Katerina podcast coming this weekend!):
- The Return: Let’s Blame Alaric (iTunes)
- Brave New World: Silently Burning (iTunes)
- Bad Moon Rising: Something Pretty Damn Epic (iTunes)
- Memory Lane: The Happy Vervain Dungeon (iTunes)
- Kill Or Be Killed/Plan B: Aneurysms of Suck (iTunes)
- Masquerade: Who Spiked the Milk? (iTunes – showing up only for subscribers right now, should be in the Store shortly)
Following on the heels of Zap2It‘s ‘The Vampire Diaries’ Klaus casting: 9 guys we think could bring down Mystic Falls, BuddyTV has posted their 15 casting suggestions: Who Should Play Klaus on ‘The Vampire Diaries’? We don’t know about you guys, but while a few suggestions definitely pique our interest (um, Hal Ozsan? Yes, please – we don’t care who he plays), not a single suggestion has made us sit back and go, “Whoa. YEAH.” Granted, we’re not eager to attach too many expectations on the character’s appearance or presence because who knows what the writers have in mind? It’s wait and see at this point, though the speculation is certainly fun.
