BONUS: The AMPire Diaries Presents… Father Kieran Konfessional (2023 Edition) Hark! The herald AMPies sing. Oh yes, it is that time of year again, AMPies. Please, please, please: salute. Much like Ross and Rachel once were—though that will NEVER excuse Ross sleeping with another woman, like, an hour later—we are on an AMPire Diaries break. But you know who's not on a break? You know who never sleeps? Musical artist P!NK. No, fuck. Wait. We meant to say The Originals character Father Kieran. Sure, he's dead now. But he's gone but not forgotten. And have you seen how hot Todd Stashwick is on Star Trek: Picard? Come on. Which is why it's time for 2023's much-anticipated Father Kieran Konfessional episode! What started as a way to gain intel from the AMPie Diaries' Patreon (subscribe today!) Discord about whether they wanted to “SMASH” or “PASS” on The Originals' Father Kieran (fatherkieran1@gmail.com) has now become a totally legit way for your AMPie Queens to absolve our AMPies of their sins. And trust us—y'all do a lot of sinning. Baby Jesus would be so proud of us. ***IMPORTANT BUT WEIRD TECHNOLOGY WARNING*** So, as you might notice as you listen, originally, this episode was somewhat marred by LaToya's actual mic not being on up top. (So instead, you got computer audio.) But then, through the power of her amazing post-production skills, she was able to fix the issue… to the point that it never really sounded like there was an issue at all. But prior to that fix, LaToya had to edit in a bit. So please, just accept the bit. ***HORNY WARNING*** Oh yeah, we're still naughty here. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

BONUS: The AMPire Diaries Presents… Father Kieran Konfessional Hello, AMPies! With The Vampire Diaries (Season 5) and The Originals (Season 1) coverage completed and your AMPie Queens taking a much-needed break (at least on the feed, not so much behind the scenes), there was obviously only one way The AMPire Diaries could officially close out 2022. With the much-anticipated Father Kieran Konfessional episode! What started as a way to gain intel from the AMPie Diaries' Patreon (subscribe today!) Discord about whether they wanted to “SMASH” or “PASS” on The Originals' Father Kieran (fatherkieran1@gmail.com) has now become a totally legit way for your AMPie Queens to absolve our AMPies of their sins. And trust us–y'all do a lot of sinning. Baby Jesus would be so proud of us. ***SPOILER WARNING*** A brief look into how the sausage is made: We recorded this Konfessional after we'd already recorded our Vampire Diaries Season 6 premiere episode, as well as after LaToya had started her own individual TVD S6/TO S2 rewatch. So while there may be mentions of new character names and vague allusions to future bits, this remains a Jill-safe episode. So no true worries on that front. ***HORNY WARNING*** Oh boy, this is a naughty episode. Particularly toward the end. Merry Christmas, ya filthy AMPies.

Which means we're accidentally doing two intros and talking: - LaToya crying at a Klaus horse. (Obviously, Jill wrote this.) - Jill's great ass and great hypocrisy. (Jill wrote this… and then LaToya finished it.) - Fuck Esther… but… what if she possessed a flop? - The power of MiFi. - The one they call honorable. - Father Kieran: Part of the COVID crew? - Does Cami make a good point this episode? - Klaus and Rebekah's sexual tension. - Our denial over The Originals (Seasons 1-4) leaving Netflix. Whoops. - Once again, much to our dismay, Bex, Sage, and Damon did NOT have a threesome. “TRAPPED IN THE CITY OF THE DEAD” (“Farewell to Storyville”) Whether you're a Vampire Diaries obsessive or newcomer, join along with hosts LaToya Ferguson (@lafergs—Vampire Diaries obsessive), Morgan Lutich (@LorganMutich—Vampire Diaries obsessive), and Jill Defiel (@jiilbobaggins—Vampire Diaries newcomer) on their new podcast journey.

The AMPire Diaries Episode 73: The Vampire Diaries - “Gone Girl” Alright, AMPies: SICKO CAST TIME! (If you know, you know.) It's also, unfortunately, time to say goodbye to the Petrova Girls. (Please cue the Gilmore Girls theme. But in Bulgarian.) It is, however—and fortunately—also time to say goodbye to Dr. Wes Maxfield. Bye, bitch! Yes, this week, your favorite Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast is discussing The Vampire Diaries' “Gone Girl” (Season 5, Episode 15). Which means we're talking: - The titular Gone Girlz. - The culmination of one of our greatest bits, at least on our end. (The Vampire Diaries really dropped the ball this time.) - Vampire periods. - That scoundrel, Bugs Bunny. - Karma and who it is happening to. - Jeremy being around and Jeremy'ing up our new ship, Bonnie/Liv. - Caroline Forbes, who is still on notice. - A fine farewell to both Nadia and Katerina “Katherine Pierce” “Kathy” “Kitty Kat” Petrova. - Check out our Patreon for our longer R.I.P.

BONUS: Behind the Scenes: The AMPire Diaries' New Originals Theme If you've listened to episode 72 (“Le Grand Guignol”) of the podcast, then you know that your AMPie Queens have created a brand new theme for their Originals coverage. In this bonus clip, you'll get to hear some of the behind-the-scenes work that went into creating it. (Unfortunately, they did not record the original impetus behind doing… what they did.)
