What era do you think Ian Somerhalder's wig is from? He's looking a little '80s goth to us...

It’s flashback time again: A new photo from The Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder (Damon) hints there’s another time warp in Mystic Falls’ future.

On January 16, Mr. Smolderhotter tweeted, “What if…” followed by a pic of himself sporting a black wig for an upcoming episode of TVD, eerily similar to ones worn by Daniel Gillies (Elijah) and Joseph Morgan (Klaus) in other way-back episodes. Maybe we’re going out on a limb here, but judging by the flowing locks, we think Season 3, Episode 16 — which is being filmed now — will feature a trip back in time. Will this be a solo venture, or will we get a glimpse of any other TVD characters in another era? Somerhalder offered another clue via tweet: “Damon and his baby bro, all day long today… Talking about munching on people. Love my jobHave a wonder-fully swell day.” From the sound of things, The Ripper will join Damon on his trip to yesteryear.
