Does anyone know when the vampire diaries series comes to australia?
Ive heard it comes to air in the US on September 10th.
Yeh boone was a great character in lost and I was sad they killed him off. His appereance in an episode of lost season 3 was an added bonus.
awesome, i miss boone still, it will be good to see ian in another role, plus i think he’ll look great done up as a vampire, it’ll suit him.
I’m sure Ian’s inclusion in the show will be a Boone for it 🙂 *boom tish*
