Tftnt. I cannot wait to see the episode. Wee bit more than two hours to go.

Edited: 20 minutes in. I hate Monique. Someone needs to take care of her.

Edited x 2: I got my wish. Yay!

Edited x 3: This ep was crazy. The ending. Wicked.

So I must say I liked the episode fairly ok. It was definitely better than last week.

Klaus - Everything was awesome. I was cheering for you and feeling your pain about the demon baby, but then...Camille showed up. And you talked about protecting her beauty from your demons. What the hell were you smoking and can I get some? Camille is annoying and boring. Nothing beautiful about that. Anyway...super happy for the scene with Rebekah. Very happy they made peace with each other. About time, even if it's only now that Claire is gone .

Elijah - OMG SHUT UP! That's not even your kid and you get mad at Klaus?! I get you're grieving over your lost...puppy, but still. I don't need to see Elijah being an ass just to convey he's grieving. Not here for a dick Elijah.

Hayley - I know that was supposed to be a sad and heartbreaking scene that she gave birth only to be murdered, but wow. Phoebe did her best acting as of late with her lying around playing dead. I will say I liked she was being all about wanting to take the witches down and save the baby even if it mean't she might die. Although it was hilarious she had to "eat her young" to live.

Marcel - That apology was about a century late. Over him wanting to kill Klaus only to want him to be his bestie again .

Davina - Love you girl. You kicked ass and took names...and Mikael's balls.

Josh - He lives!

Camille - You are no special snowflake. You are a special brain tumor that just won't GO AWAY!

Monique - You are one cold hearted bitch.

Ginger - Sad, but not really. Glad she's gone cause she was a huge disappointment.

Mikael - Must be different to go from a BAMF to a bitch. I love you, but to be under Davina's control is too amazing.

Hopeless - Glad you are "dead" cause no thanks to diaper changes and Uncle Marcel singing a lullaby.

Werewolves/Francesca - Run. Now. You are so dead.

Esther & Finn - Um...cool, but where's Kol?

Rebekah - Nice for you to come back to help your family. It was truly amazing to see you and Klaus make up. I loved that he showed her he still had that toy knight from when they were kids. Miss you girl.

Overall:



Wasn't bad...wasn't great.

I loved the episode however now reading the description it seemed weirdly worded. Klaus, Hayley, Elijah, Rebekah, Mikael, Marcel. Esther and Finn back in transplanted bodies. I'm sure Kol will be back some how. I feel that the second season is giving us the Original family and how they deal with each other. Everybody did their part brilliantly. I am glad that Monique is gone.

Wow...so many amazing moments.
The finale was awesome!!

Rebekah/Klaus scene really moved me. I feel like there is finally closure between these two. So much love in their eyes. And it was so symbolic when Klaus handed Rebekah that toy soldier he had carved her so many years ago.

Elijah was great as usual. Oh, the pain. But am I the only one who is tired of his long dramatic speeches?

In my opinion, Hayley should have stayed dead....It would have made the episode much more epic. More tragic.
The last thing I want to see in The Originals is the tiresome TVD pattern of main characters dying and coming back to life over and over.

Lovely scene between Camille and Klaus. He really cares for her.

The ending of Esther and Finn standing over graves in their new bodies. Chilling.

A season 2 with more originals.
Suddenly, I am looking forward to this show. I love to see ALL the originals. Including the very handsome Kol.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. Hayley is one of the strongest characters on the show.

Yes, I understand, I just feel that it would have been more dramatic for the show if she had stayed dead. Nothing more tragic than a baby's mother being killed right after childbirth.

I am not going to like it very much if TO starts that dying and coming back to life thing as they do on TVD. Loses the appeal of the show for me.

Gotta agree, Hayley has come a long way sense her mermaid/witch days. She conveyed a great deal of emotions and I loved it. And I also love that she's a hybrid. Klaus pulls it off, and I know she'll be leagues better at it then Tyler.

Klaus...very low key, just the right amount of everything. And for once you didn't slaughter everyone. Maybe next season.

Elijah....get where your coming from, think you went a little far. But over all a wonderful job.

Devina...people like you. I don't know why. Klaus was mean to your friends? So you bring back the guy who made Klaus, Klaus. Sorta hope you die.

Daddy Original...hate you a lot, hope Devina tortures you.

Ester...your worthless and always have been.

Whats his brother....Yes mother, what a . Kol would have been way cooler.

Seriously, we need Kol back.

Rebekah....Claire, as always great to see you and wished you could stay. Be a good vampire mom to the demon child.

Demon child...knew you wouldn't stay, but gonna miss you anyway.

Marcel....ahhh, you are such a daddys boy.

Cami...I do like you. Wish you were less dumb at times though. But that can be said about everyone at times. Stay blonde.

Werewolves & Witches....gotta say, I wont you all to die.

It really was a great episode.

Hayley is one of the worst, I don't care for those "I can take care of myself" female leads who ironically get kidnapped every few episodes, but as a hybrid with no baby bump that can hopefully change. Plus, it was an insult to the fans who watched Hayley's actions on TVD, since the show tried to make us forget how flawed she was and just painted her as completely innocent.

She called Francesca a terrorist, yet she helped Klaus slaughter 12 innocent teenage hybrids last year?

Who hasn't arranged a massacre on TVD/TO?

I too get annoyed with her saying she can take care of herself yet she constantly gets kidnapped. I couldn't get behind her being grossly pregnant and fighting Mikael, and Original, and jumping from a balcony. Made zero sense, even with her wolf-ness. I am hoping without the bump and her hybrid powers she will be better. I enjoyed her scenes when she fought a bunch of witches in the bayou (and she had no bump) so maybe she will get better for me again.

I couldn't agree with you more. I don't like the coming back from the dead thing. It would make the show corny.

I felt like the show took a hit when Rebekah left the show. I couldn't take it if Marcel or Hayley died off the show. Outside of TO they're my two favorite characters. It was good to see them all have each others back tonight. I hope they all come together next season.

Do you even like the show? It seems you always complaining about it. There is nothing wrong with Hayley's character. She got kidnapped once by Tyler. After that I can't recall her getting kidnapped. People have been trying to kill her, but that's about it. Tonight you can say she kinda of got kidnapped, but it was never about her. It was about her baby. Personally, I love Hayley's attitude.

People can have a difference of opinion. No one is saying you can't like Hayley. So respect the fact that others do not .
