I completely agree about Rebe...Great review, Laure. I completely agree about Rebekah. I like Maisie Richardson-Sellers but it feels like she's just holding a place for Claire Holt. It might be due to the illogical reasoning behind her remaining in the body. <br /><br />She says that she won't leave the body until she finds a way to bring Kol back. Ummm, just get Davina to do it. The faulty logic just serves as a reminder that Claire wanted out of the part. Why was Rebekah putting herself in harms way to boost her magical chutzpah? I'm hoping that Rebekah's not going to be the constant damsel in distress since she doesn't really have any power at this point.<br /><br />However, that's pretty nit-picky. Overall, this show constantly surprises me. I love the dynamics between the characters and the quick pace of the show (something I miss from Vampire Diaries). I read a review somewhere recently that compared Originals to the Godfather. With the shifting alliances, complicated motivations, and lust for power with family always remaining at the core, I get the comparison and it's led to me recommending the show more often to people who aren't fans of the genre.topher darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975242320282969525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68074142201763735362015-03-12T11:07:33.865-04:002015-03-12T11:07:33.865-04:00"tea party enthusiasts and handheld percussio..."tea party enthusiasts and handheld percussion instrument lovers" This almost made me spray my very hot tea over my keyboard.<br /><br />When did I end up loving Originals so much and almost dreading watching Vampire diaries?Sjusjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992791197321317099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74300137348100454562015-03-11T14:31:42.108-04:002015-03-11T14:31:42.108-04:00I think Elijah unbuttoning his shirt might have to...I think Elijah unbuttoning his shirt might have to do with the idea of him getting messy (in relation to the red door in his mind).<br />Also, I would say that Klaus absolutely did not help Jackson. He's plotting to supplant him as leader, so you know I'd say the net result is not helpful even if it did save the lives of some wolves.<br />Finally, personally I've found Mikael a sympathetic character ever since "The Vampire Diaries" when he tearfully reunited with Rebekah after 1000 years. The fact that all he wanted was to protect his family but doing that turned his family against him and caused him to wander the earth for 1000 years completely alone earns some sympathy from me. Also, after being alone for 1000 years reuniting with Freya must have been emotional for him indeed.OneOnOne1162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-69384990764674257612015-03-11T08:43:13.067-04:002015-03-11T08:43:13.067-04:00Magic maracas. lol. :)

I also like Gia, and thought it was interesting that Elijah picked her out of the crowd. I shouldn't have been surprised. He's very old, so it's unlikely that he'd sit around brooding about Hayley while she's rolling around in bed with her new husband.<br /><br />Too bad about Eva Sinclair. Never a dull moment, huh?
