The AMPire Diaries Episode 13: “Bad Moon Rising” | “Memory Lane”

Yo, AMPies! We’re keeping it moving on on this Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, with “Bad Moon Rising” (Season 2, Episode 3) and “Memory Lane” (Season 2, Episode 4). This honestly might be my (hey, it’s LaToya!) favorite episode of the podcast yet. This week, we’re talking:

- Morgan’s dad and the people and things he likes.

- Our ultimate goal to be the least listened to podcast ever.

- Caroline's Ed Hardy shirt in “Bad Moon Rising.”

- “BEAUTIFUL ANTEBELLUM ARCHITECTURE."

- Just how fake of a name is “Vanessa Monroe?”

- The Sun and the Moon Curse!

- Who do we want to smooch more? Zach Roerig or Michael Trevino?

- Does Stefan know the risk? Does he have to know her?

- Wait, a Smart Guy reboot starring which character?!?

- Elena + Tyler = Best Friends

- Did the Confederacy win? No? Still lost? Okay.

- Jill’s ranking of the Twilight movies.

- Jill’s war on flashbacks.

- When you want to date someone... do you let them kidnap you?

Also, see if you can spot where we went on (and I removed) a tangent about The CW's Reign. And make sure to listen to the closing theme, because it is very, very special.

“STEFAN FACES A NEW DANGER” (“Bad Moon Rising”)

“DAMON MAKES A DANGEROUS ENEMY” (“Memory Lane”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? Honestly? They’re kind of the same thing? But “a new danger” seems more troubling, so “Bad Moon Rising” it is.
