(Orlando Sci-Fi Examiner Larraine Stacey)

Jasmine Guy guest stars on this week’s episode of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ as even more questions arise regarding the Bonnie’s abilities and the history of Salvatore brothers.

Here is the official synopsis and 3 trailers to hold you until Thursday night’s episode “You’re Undead to Me” at 8pm on The CW.

Stefan (Paul Wesley) is hopeful that his plan to get rid of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is working. Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Jenna (Sara Canning) are concerned about Jeremy’s relationship with Vicki. Stefan decides to reveal parts of his past to Elena. At a fund-raising car wash, Bonnie is surprised by abilities she didn’t know she possessed, and seeks advice from her grandmother (Jasmine Guy, “A Different World”). Finally, Elena hears a disturbing story about the Salvatore family from a stranger.

The series is heating up! I am addicted to The Vampire Diaries already. I didn’t expect I would be but it just keeps getting better and more fun to watch. Have you been watching Vamp Diaries faithfully each week?

‘The Vampire Diaries’ vs. ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’

There are obviously some similarities between The Vampire Diaries and Twilight, no matter what Damon Salvatore might have to say about it. But after watching the fourth episode, I realized that, when you start looking at the characters and storylines, The Vampire Diaries has a lot more in common with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

A little more than a decade after Buffy hit our TVs, The Vampire Diaries is following an eerily similar path, with similar relationships, plot devices, and romances. Here are just a few of the shocking similarities I’ve discovered:

The Lead Lady’s Love Life
Witch BFFF
The Bad Boy and the Cheerleader
The Annoying Sibling
The Watchers’ Council

Buffy and Vamp Diaries are kind of similar in the mentioned ways BUT Vampire Diaries was written way before Buffy was even thought of.
What do you think of the similarities? What are some of the differences?
