I so agree.
Seeing Klaus and...Great review, Laure. I so agree.<br /><br />Seeing Klaus and Mikael working together while sniping at each other was a lot of fun, and it was satisfying that Klaus finally got Mikael to admit there was no reason for all that hatred before Mikael's way overdue death. Claudia Black is doing a great job with the exceptionally evil Dahlia; this was the first time I felt anything for Freya, who has most certainly *not* been crying wolf. (Pun intended.) Jackson and Hayley were utterly idiotic, trying to take that baby away from the protection of the most powerful vampires on earth. And Josh and Aiden are turning in to Romeo and Juliet, aren't they? I hope that doesn't mean they're both going to die tragically.<br />Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-24086606350156936802015-04-15T11:05:41.798-04:002015-04-15T11:05:41.798-04:00I was quite impressed by Dahlia's power.

Indirectly she also lead to Mikael's death and she killed Josephine.<br />I think Josephine was just already going somewhere and Dahlia was waiting for her there, knowing she'd come there. Once she spotted the person whom she thought was Dahlia I'm guessing she figured there was no use in running. I mean, the woman took down the original family like they were nothing and has an entire town as spies for godsakes.<br />While I thought the final scene between Klaus and Mikael was appropriately emotional, I feel like they never really knew how to use Mikael as a character. He was almost always a blunt object who just came in, wrecked shop and then left. I'm sad he's gone before we've had a chance of seeing him become a more three dimensional character (though while I think the "I don't know" comment was appropriate from Mikael's POV, I hope the writers don't stay with that answer and offer us the actual one that Mikael wasn't aware of).<br />Funnily enough characterization-wise the two things that worked best for me were Josephine's death and Aiden's dilemma. Josephine's death because the poor woman just wanted to protect her community and stay out of all this but it was either side with Elijah against a super-powerful witch or side against Elijah and the originals. Either way was really suicide, and of course she died for it (fighting other people's battles).<br />Aiden because I got the impression he really wanted to do well by his pack in the previous episodes, but I also see he's a good friend to Jackson and now he's made a decision that he can't back down from anymore. I can easily imagine feeling like it's a "damned if I do, damned if I don't" scenario, which I can relate to.OneOnOne1162https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw_MVlIhp-mnO3cGuDPcZMgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-69512123550690796612015-04-15T09:16:45.342-04:002015-04-15T09:16:45.342-04:00You might be right, percysowner, but I thought Hay...You might be right, percysowner, but I thought Hayley was saying that to cover their tracks. Aiden did say that Jackson was mad that he didn't show up at 845. I think their idiot plans just fell through.Laure Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692780015410946019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-40002744067227217112015-04-15T08:03:48.251-04:002015-04-15T08:03:48.251-04:00Although I agree hide in the bayou plan was not go...Although I agree hide in the bayou plan was not good, I'm not sure it WAS the plan? Because at the end when Haley asked why "you" were late, "you" turned out to be Marcel and then Haley said the safest place in NO was Algiers, the hospital that Elijah had warded. So I think that maybe the plan was always to go there and they were using Aiden as a diversion? Or maybe Haley went behind Jackson's back and decided to go to Algiers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
