"The Vampire Diaries" Season 2, Episode 8; ‘Rose’

"The Vampire Diaries" season 2, episode 8, "Rose" was a hot episode. America is obsessed with the undead, and Vampire Diaries is right up there with True Blood and the Twilight Series as hot and addicting.

Last night, we finally learned why Elena is so important - she's a crucial part of the curse that gives Vampires their weakness. Now, "The Originials", or a group of really old vamps are trying to hunt down Elena and kill her.

Rosemarie and Trevor are two 500 year old vampires who kidnapped Elena are the ones who shared the story with her and the rest of the audience. Elena's fate is in their hands. However, it's revealed that the two have been on the run from "The Originals" and intend on giving Elena to them as a peace offering.

Elena is rescued, and Trevor is decapitated. Elijah is presumed dead, but we see him pull his pole out of his middle and now we know he's still on the hunt for Elena. In a real world, they would have just cut off his head.

Outlaw Canceled by NBC

Outlaw Canceled by NBC? Outlawed joins Fox’s Lonestar and ABC’s My Generation as new shows canceled early in the season. Ratings drive which shows go and stay, although many viewers find that the cancellations are premature as plots have not had time to develop.

However, many networks are pinched for cash and sinking money into a show that’s not going to bring in the viewing audience just doesn’t make business sense.

Outlaw was canceled without being moved around to other days to test for an audience. This is what frustrates viewers about the network’s decision to prematurely cancel a show. Outlaw only drew 4.1 million viewers, less than half the 11.1 million viewer audience which viewed Blue Bloods.

However…does a show even stand a chance on Friday night at 10:00 pm? With Friday being date night and the night where kids have school activities and sports, shouldn’t more tempting programming air?

NBC hasn’t announced what will happen at the 10:00 pm slot once all the episodes of Outlaw air. Chances are, this slot will be a chance for them to issue re-runs of other shows.
