The Vampire Diaries "The Originals" Review: Three Mikaelsons and a Baby

This backdoor pilot certainly wasn't without issues, and now I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the prospects of The Originals.

First impressions, love it, gonna watch the new show no matter what. Klaus as emotionally unstable as ever, Elijah on the moral high road and Rebekah in doubt already. Gonna be a great show. I mean its odd that Haley has a baby and reminds me a little too much of twilight for my liking, but I love that it takes the whole motivation for Elena's blood out of the picture as the demon spawn will probably be hybrid as well. And if it's not, I'd love to see the emotional ramifications. Also I do love a good cameo between spin off shows a la Buffy/Angel.moreless

The Originals was an awesome beginning to a new story focusing on The Originals from The Vampire Diaries. I liked the story which had a great mix of drama, intrigue and suspense. It was interesting to meet a former protege of Klaus. I liked the magic, vampiric posturing and Elijah's voice of reason. There were a few surprises and plenty of action. I look forward to the next episode of both series!!!!!!!!!

I guess we were warned. The title tells us it's all about the originals, but still, I was disappointed that their was only a couple minutes with the real vampire diaries cast. I miss the days in which the vampire diaries had a balance of good and evil. I don't mind the darkness of it, the show has always been this way. However, all the charactes are bad now, and really, it's not nearly as much fun. Hopefully, Elena gets her humanity back, and this show can return to it's former glory.moreless
