The Originals - Series 1 - Episode 1 - Review :)!




Another quick/rushed review..thing :')!

When i first found out that there was going to a spin-off to The Vampire Diaries , i couldn't contain my excitement. The fact that it was also going to based upon the 'The Original Family' , the Mikaelson's , primarily being Rebekah , Klaus and Elijah made it even more interesting . This is because it would enable us to learn more about their past and the problems that they currently face, such as Klaus and his little werewolf 'hiccup'.

Although some aspects of the show are similar to that of 'The Vampire Diaries' , this obviously being the characters (and also the logo), it is nowhere near the same. This show seems to be darker more..grown up! The way in which it is filmed is mildly different as well , which i like!. 


The first episode revisited 'The Originals' episode of The Vampire Diaries , which was the pilot for the spin off show. The first episode however , was shown through Elijah's eyes. I really liked the way in which Elijah showed such compassion towards Hayley and her unborn child. Although i'm not a huge fan of Hayley , mainly because she clearly didn't see the consequences of her actions :L!..i may warm to her because of the fact that Elijah likes her. I found the whole 'protecting the child' thing to be a little strange..but when you realise that all Elijah wants is a family , you sympathize for him and therefore urge Klaus to cooperate and accept his unborn child. Klaus finally does towards the end of the episode , stating that 'Every King needs an heir' which i found very powerful.



I know this is a short post...but overall , i really liked 'The Originals'. Even though i had basically seen it before (through the pilot) , the fact that it was through Elijah's eyes made it that little more engaging. The way it is filmed is also different , creating a more dark and unsettling atmosphere. I am definitely a fan..why wouldn't i be? ;D

The Originals-CW-WATCH IT ^_^!
