BONUS: The VirtNet Diaries (Episode 18 Bonus Clip)

Just when you thought you couldn’t get enough of The AMPire Diaries, The AMPire Diaries decided to give you a b-b-b-bonus clip! Because Episode 18 (covering “Daddy Issues” and “Crying Wolf”) just wasn’t long enough.

In that episode, Morgan brought up a book series from James Dashner, author of the Maze Runner book series. Well, in this bonus clip, Morgan does a deep dive into these books, while LaToya and Jill… well, they just listen. We know, we know: You didn’t ask for this. (Unless you’ve listened to Episode 18 already. Then you get the joke we just made there.)

The AMPire Diaries Episode 18: “Daddy Issues” | “Crying Wolf”

AMPies! Moving along on this Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, we’re talking about “Daddy Issues” (Season 2, Episode 13) and “Crying Wolf” (Season 2, Episode 14).

And when we say we’re talking, we mean we’re talking a lot about:

- Does Jules… um… Does Jules wanna get wolfy with Tyler?

- “Bad Plan Steve.”

- Television's Stephen Amell (AKA “Mr. Arrow”).

- Morgan's stance on seeing people make out.

- Jill gets real about Jeremy.

- Actually, we all get kind of real about Jeremy.

- Team Stefan/Caroline finally gets a little love on the podcast.

- We’re sorry for being so mean about Jeremy.

- The Vampire Diaries prequel ideas.

- The similarities between Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec’s The Vampire Diaries and Donald Glover’s Atlanta.

- Jill takes on Stelena.

- Elena’s new role as Prank Sinatra.

- Elijah's pen name, which actually segues into this episode’s BONUS clip.

- And last but certainly not least, Action News’ Andie Star.

“CHOOSING SIDES” (“Daddy Issues”)

“SECRETS AND LIES” (“Crying Wolf”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? Somehow, “SECRETS AND LIES” hadn’t been used before, but regardless, it’s not all that AMPED. “Daddy Issues” it is.

The AMPire Diaries Episode 17: “By the Light of the Moon” | “The Descent”

Hey, hey, hey, AMPies! Moving along on this Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, we’re talking about “By the Light of the Moon” (Season 2, Episode 11) and “The Descent” (Season 2, Episode 12).

We get quite rowdy in this episode, and this week, we’re talking:

- Jill’s #1 boy, Tyler Lockwood.

- The years in which cast members were born.

- Jill’s #1 boy, Tyler Lockwood.

- Elijah saying “hey.”

- Lauren Cohan… good at acting? (Yes.)

- The Trevino Train vs. The Roerig… Rickshaw

- Jill’s #1 boy, Tyler Lockwood.

- 'Dana Is The New Tiki.'

- Woof Gang.

- The Florida Truck.

- And of course, Jill’s #1 boy, Tyler Lockwood.

Also, stick around for a post-credits scene—if you want to hear more from resident boy, Michael Chasin (@MichaelChasin), that is.

“TYLER FACES HIS FIRST TRANSFORMATION” (“By the Light of the Moon”)

“DOOM, GLOOM AND PERSONAL GROWTH” (“The Descent”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? The logline for “The Descent” totally just steals a line of dialogue from Damon… and for that, we are reminded that cheaters always win. “The Descent” wins this week.

The AMPire Diaries Episode 16: “Katerina” | “The Sacrifice”

Dear AMPies: LET MEN HAVE CHEST HAIR! Wait. Sorry. That demand was for The CW. Let’s try this again…

Dear AMPies: LET’S GET THIS D. What “D,” exactly? Well, that’s up for interpretation, according to this episode of The AMPire Diaries. And Moving along on this Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, we’re talking “Katerina” (Season 2, Episode 9) and “The Sacrifice” (Season 2, Episode 10).

This week, we’re talking:

And that’s it. That’s the most pressing matter.

“KATHERINE’S PAST IS REVEALED” (“Katerina”)

“JEREMY MAKES A DANGEROUS MISTAKE” (“The Sacrifice”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? LOL, let’s give Jeremy a win this time. He’ll need it after this episode. (We are… not kind.) “The Sacrifice,” it is.

Hello, AMPies! This week in this horny Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, we’re dropping two new episodes! First up is this, our first-ever mailbag episode, with questions, comments, and concerns from our beautiful AMPies. As always, this is an overly-long chaotic discussion about all things Vampire Diaries.

(Later today, you’ll get also get the highly-anticipated 16th episode of The AMPire Diaries, covering “Katerina” and “The Sacrifice.”)

***SPOILER WARNING*** This episode has vague spoilers for the rest of Season 2, as well as Season 3 of The Vampire Diaries. Mostly about the names of people who Damo hooks up with moving forward… but we also bring up “Klaroline” (if you know, you know) pretty early on. So proceed with caution, AMPies.

***DUMMY WARNING*** So, naturally, we didn’t realize until the editing process that maybe we (okay, me—it’s me, LaToya) shouldn’t have said the full names of AMPies on the pod… so please excuse the jerkiness of editing after saying our AMPies' first names.

The AMPire Diaries Episode 15: “Masquerade” | “Rose” (feat. Michael Chasin)

Let’s go, AMPies. Moving along on this Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, we’re talking “Masquerade” (Season 2, Episode 7) and “Rose” (Season 2, Episode 8). And we’re doing so with The AMPire Diaries’ resident boy, Michael Chasin (@MichaelChasin), making his official return to the podcast. Yes, he brings “Boy Corner” back.

This week, we’re talking:

- Dick Lockwood’s masquerade-based legacy.

Also, LaToya and Morgan do accents. Jill and Michael… do not.

“DEATH AT THE MASQUERADE BALL” (“Masquerade”)

“AN ANCIENT PRESENCE IN MYSTIC FALLS ” (“Rose”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? Considering our two male leads could also count as “an ancient presence” and the deaths at the Masquerade Ball have still got us AMPED, gotta go with “Masquerade.”

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).

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

- 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.

In this supersized AMPire Diaries episode, we’re talking about “The Return” (Season 2, Episode 1) and “Brave New World” (Season 2, Episode 2). Why, exactly, is it supersized? Well, we’ve gotta talk:

- Vampire blood sciences.

- Do we hate Bonnie yet?

- Why is being mean to Damo soooo funny?

- Which Sex and the City characters represent Katherine, Pearl, Anna, and Emily. (Call us, Julie Plec.)

- “Emo Little Bitch” t-shirts: Yay or Nay?

- Jacked Jeremy.

- The fact that Jill actually wrote this season of The Vampire Diaries.

- Morgan's apology to Jeremy Gilbert stans.

-

And that’s just a taste of it.

“KATHERINE RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE” (“The Return”)

“THE CARNIVAL FROM HELL” (“Brave New World”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? Katherine. Returns. With. A. Vengeance. “The Return,” it is.
