The AMPire Diaries Episode 106: The Vampire Diaries - “Christmas Through Your Eyes”

You know what we could all really use, AMPies? A spooOOooky Christmas. Oh yes, ‘tis the season for everyone’s favorite holiday: Christmas in October. Because this week, your favorite Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast is discussing The Vampire Diaries’ “Christmas Through Your Eyes” (Season 6, Episode 10). Which means we’re talking:

- Whose eyes, exactly?

- Luke going back outside.

- “Psychapath,” Australian for “psychopath.”

- Really, the pure force that is Luke Parker.

- Being a high school freshman.

- Missed connections with Kai and Tyler.

- "Sociopathic Ryan Reynolds"... and Jill's thoughts on that. (If you want more Ryan Reynolds talk and Jill lore on the subject, our Patreon is where it’s at.)

- Damon hiding objects.

- The difference between Kai Parker and Cole Turner. (And if you want more where that came from, our Patreon is where Cole Turner Cast is at.)

- The last time Mayor Dad (R.I.P.) tried.

- Caroline's dad (R.I.H.) being gay, of course.

- MONKEY'S PAW.

- We still want Eric Dane on this show.

- #1 Delena shipper, Caroline Forbes.

- The voice of reason, Jeremy Gilbert.

- Ric's (?) gun.

And speaking of our Patreon, to our AMPie patrons: We hope you enjoy our bonus clips from this episode. Because nothing says The AMPire Diaries like tangents about Mario Kart characters and Cole Turner interacting with other sexy villains/anti-heroes.
