The folks at VampireDiariesWeb have passed on some unwatermarked versions of the Entertainment Weekly outtakes for our gallery (thanks, guys!). You’ve seen most of them already, but there are a couple more that we haven’t posted yet, which you can see below. Where were these when we wanted some fun images for the caption contest, eh? ;) (And on that subject, don’t forget to vote for your favourite caption before voting closes on Sunday night!)

  

 
A magic fairy sent us some super high quality images from the Love Sucks shoot, and we’ve got an excellent close-up of Damon’s ring. If you look at his ring in the Love Sucks ad-campaign, it appears to have an ‘S’ on it, just like Stefan’s. We’d been assuming they both had ‘S’ for Salvatore, but this picture reveals that Damon’s ring actually has a ‘D’ on it, indicating that Stefan’s ‘S’ is for his own name rather than their surname. Nifty, huh?

 
StarPulse has up an article with some quotes from executive producer Kevin Williamson. In it is a nice new little tidbit explaining why Elena keeps a written journal in an age of computers and online blogging.

Even the concept of the diary is a bit quaint to modern day kids. “A lot of people write journal on a computer now, but Elena’s mother is the one who gave her that journal and explained to her the importance of journaling. So she writes in her journal. It is a connection to her mother. It is really a nice way to sort of open up a story, begin a story and close a story. It is a really great bookend.”

 
Finally, thanks to KryptonSite, we’ve got some new details on episode 1.5. [Ed note: Actually, it looks to be episode 1.04. Craig's calling the pilot 1.01.] The title is set to be “You’re Undead to Me”, which makes us wonder what could be going on there, and you know us… we love to speculate. We know that Elena is set to find out Stefan’s secret early on in the series, and given that Alaric Saltzman is turning up in the sixth episode it’s possible that this is an indication that the cat is out of the bag.

We also discover a few things about Bonnie and her grandmother in this episode – it’s very cool to see Bonnie’s witchy heritage being dealt with and expanded on early on. From KryptonSite:

We meet Bonnie’s grandmother “Grams” in this episode.
- Grams talks about the gifts of the witch to speak to Mother Earth and share in Her power. She says that earth, wind, air, fire, water, and “the heavens above” are all connected.
- She does magic in front of Bonnie involving water going back into a pitcher. Bonnie asks if she can be shown how to do that, and Grams tells her “absolutely”… when she is ready.
