Image Credit: Quantrell Colbert/The CWIf you’ve been wanting to get into The Vampire Diaries, but that crowded Thursday at 8 p.m. time slot hasn’t allowed it, seize the opportunity to record this week’s 10-episode season 2 marathon beginning tonight on The CW. That’s two episodes each day, starting with the season 2 premiere. If you’re a newcomer and want a crash course on what you missed in season 1, read our 16-point primer gallery, and you’re good to go. You can also read our recaps (click here for season 1, and here for season 2).
Those of you who are caught up and awaiting the show’s Jan. 27 return, be sure to check out executive producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec breaking down last week’s midseason finale and looking ahead on our latest TV Insiders podcast (after Dalton Ross and Annie Barrett accuse me of “panting” during Michael Trevino’s shirtless scenes). Just click on the audio player below. The podcast is also now on iTunes. You can subscribe for free right here and take it with you on the go.

yay vampire diaries! stefan!!
I still need to watch all of Season 1…the timeslot is too competitive and I’m too busy to watch them in time on hulu…
Anyhow who hasn’t been watching this show, but likes True Blood, should make a point of watching this all week. This has been an entertaining season, and it’s one of my favorite shows of the year.
Agreed. And TVD’s been a hell of a lot better than TB in regards to pacing and tying everything together. Hell, I’ll even say some of the acting is better. No one going “Sookeh is maahhne!”
Jasmine you are welcome to Stefan…I will help myself to Damon! whoooo hoooo
