So cant wait !!!!!!

OMG yay!!
- Now we know that the girl in the car with Caroline is Rebekah.
- Jeremy is looking hot as hell here.
- Bonnie, I thought we were done with the nose bleeds?
- Elena, my poor baby, looks so confused and I just can’t believe she’s going to be a vampire now.
- Stefan, you’re also looking fine as well. Even though you’re probably in pain and can’t do much to help. Awww poor guy!
- Klaus you PERV!! Like eww step away from Caroline! It should not happen this way. Fyi I don’t ship Klaroline or Forwood. LOL just saying.
- Where is Damon?!! Where’s my favorite character? Maybe it’s to spoilery to show him. But why couldn’t we at least get a picture?

Cannot wait to see this!!! In less than a month my The Vampire Diaries is back!!! Ahhhh I’m excited as you can tell!!

This is so exciting. Rebekah locked up, Tyler!Klaus looking serious and a shiny coffin! Looks like the body switch (back) will happen in the first episode (thank god!). With Elena’s little drama going on, that’s a lot of plot for one episode. Back with a bang I guess.

It’s great to see all these pics but, I can’t help but wonder what they’ve done to Damon? I hate that we haven’t seen hardly anything about him yet…
Amanda

Is Damon not in the premier? They didn’t show him in the season 4 promo either. Maybe he left town and is vacationing in the Caribean like Ian always talks about LOL Sitting on the beach and drinking maitais

I wondered the same thing. I mean it’s great that they gave photos of Bonnie and Jeremy but there were an aweful lot it looks like from the same scene. I guess since Damon is on the outs with everyone that means no pics. Just kidding.

Finally …. Episode Stills!

Bonnie is going to be a very busy bee in the first episode. Looks like Jeremy will be right there with her.

I cannot figure out how the Pastor and his goons were able to capture Rebekah. She is a one thousand year old Original vampire so it would not be easy to take her down.

I assume there is a very good reason that there are no pictures of Damon so I am more than willing to wait and be surprised.

Then there is the whole Klaus in Tyler and Caroline thingy….. and a coffin…. so there is that….

The lack of Damon has me excited. Something big is obviously going down with him in the premiere.

I was thinking exactly the same!!! Where the hell is Damon? :(
KatAttack

An optimistic way to look at it!

I’m excited about that promo pic of Daniel Gillies! OMG! So does this mean he will be a regular on the show now? Have my prayers been answered? Please say yes!
Canderella

Thought the same thing!
First: where the f**** is Damon ?!?
Then: …wait… woah… something exciting must be going on… and I was pretty relieved as well not see any spoilers concerning him. Want to keep up the tension :D
shila1307

wonderful, wonderful! Is it October 11th yet!? Now I’m really starting to get impatient, so I will dagger myself with DVDs. Presently I am watching season 2, then season 1 and start over again, 1,2,3.
Hanna

Then I think you have to look at the promo again, becasue Damon is there. They just don’t show so much of him!
mary.m155

oh my god, YES!!!

OK my theory: There is no way that nature, or the dead witches are going to let Bonnie get away with this spell to reverse Elenas transition…BC she kept Klaus alive.. There is a great possibility they are PISSED at her…and then she turns to DARK MAGIC !!

When is Caroline going to figure out Tyler isn’t Tyler, AND THAT HE IS KLAUS! That really doesn’t seem like something Klaus would do…Try to take advantage of Caroline…its just not his style..OR IS IT?
mary.m155

ummm, yea…this comment just made me nervous..They probably can’t show anything of him cuz it will give to much away….

wat is he doing?!
mary.m155

there was that little promo of him in a kitchen i think talking to Stefan, yelling at him ab Elena turning
mary.m155

No, you are totally right…if they show to much ab him right now it will give too much away…they are smart! :0
Wilson

Good to see Jeremy and Bonnie in the episode pictures. I’m excited to see what their storyline is in the first episode back.
ihatepeople

Good point. Also they cut her some slack and let Jeremy come back to life which was against nature.
Hanna

Take a look at this! :D

I wonder if Jeremy turns his back on Elena. That would be an interesting dynamic.
From Beginning To End

I think number 15 is Caroline after realizing Tyler is Klaus…
Jncarriere

I to would have liked some photo still of Damon.The way I see it is Damon showed up with Papa Smurf (Stefan) and then went out to check on whatever the council is doing.In the mean time the accident and the capture happens.Elena tells Stefan she is dying and Damon arrives just the nick of time to keep her from dying and that is why Stefan yells no.

I got so frustrated when I saw the pics. This tells me NOTHING! I stormed. And…WHERE THE HECK IS DAMON?! But I am wise to the show’s ways. They rarely give away the most important scenes before-hand. I was disappointed that we didn’t see any DE in the promo as well, but not really surprised. No doubt Damon has some big scenes in 4×01 that are just too good to spoil…

No worries first we get the acting part of the show with the actors. Then damon is to quench our eye candy thirst they will find a way to have him shirtless for us.

Going by the stills, and the promo we saw earlier, it looks like the following:

1. The Council has managed to round up Stefan, Elena & Rebekah, as we see those three in cages.
2. We see Tyler/Klaus & Caroline semi making out….I was wondering how Klaus manages to not let that go to far….now I think I know. I think he just tells her, “Hey, I’m not your boyfriend, I’m Klaus….Bonnie put me here, so we need to find her to fix this”…or something to that affect. Hence we see….
3. Bonnie working magic next to a coffin. I’m guessing that coffin contains Klaus’s body.
4. We also know that Bonnie wants to go to the “other side” and bring back Elena’s spirit…..hence her trying to find a way to stop Elena’s transition……because Bonnie has NOBODY/NOTHING to channel, I can see why she would be having nose bleeds again. That’s an awful lot of magic for a witch to be messing with without being able to channel the magic of 100 dead witches anymore.

I remember reading a spoiler not to long ago that said there was a really cool “killing sequence” in this episode. It went on to say that what everyone would be talking about around the water cooler the next day wasn’t the way in which the killing was done, but who did the killing…. the way I see it, we have a couple of possibles:

1. Elena- she’s a transitioning vampire. We know the closer to death Elena’s body gets, the harder it’s going to be for her not to feed.
2. Bonnie- Considering all Bonnie’s done to help her friends, I think it’s highly possible that Bonnie really would kill to protect them. It would be one more step toward the “dark magic” she’s been kinda getting into. Plus, there is that photo of Bonnie facing Elena while Elena is in that cage…of course, that could just have to do with Bonnie and her journey to the “other side” to bring back human Elena.
3. Damon- Let’s face it, he’s not going to be playing nice this season. So there is that.
4. Klaus- And only because Rebekah is there…….she is his sister, after all.
