Ding ding ding! I’d like to make a toast. Here’s to those who have stuck around this long with a show that has had its ups and down. And to our fallen comrades who have left “The Originals” behind for greener pastures, I honestly cannot blame you. For a mid-season finale, it seems to have fallen a bit short from all the actiony goodness that we were overindulged with last week.

In lieu of Thanksgiving coming up this week, it seems fitting to have an episode of “The Originals” with so many family values. Loyalty, compassion, gratitude. Lying, thievery, betrayal. But as long as you’re absolved of your sins, it’s all peachy right? Well, that’s exactly Rebekah’s hope when she takes up Father Kieran’s confessional. “Are you even Catholic?” Hey, Father, quit making jokes. She needs absolution! (more…)

Parties and anchors and lab rats, oh my! If you wanted a mashup of college, torture, science and a little bit of lovey dovey, tonight is your episode. As of now, Jesse is a full fledged vampire by Dr. Maxfield’s reckoning. Predicting a positive outcome to his theory, he begins a blood transfusion from an undiluted bag. However the vamp’s strength was an unforeseen side effect. Gee, doc. You would think with all your standard vampire mythology you’d know they’re super strong. But I guess being held captive as a guinea pig to the mad scientist’s tests the last two weeks took a toll because Jesse finally gets a chance to stretch his legs and take a bite out of life. Maxfield’s life, that is. (more…)

Most people at bus stops tend to avoid making eye contact and stay silent while they wait for the bus to show up. But not Silas. Nope. Silas will give you his life story about how he fell in love but cheated on someone else in the process only for it to all blow up in his face 2000 years later. And where has it left him? “Now my neck hurts, my soul is crushed, I’m sitting at a bus stop in friggin Delaware – ” Actually, you’re in Philly. “Philly? That’s even worse.” And as payment for this correction, he treats the male half of the couple he was entertaining to an untimely death by liquifying his organs. Instead of making a real effort to stop him, the Juliet to this poor Romeo runs off. Just like a woman, eh Silas? (more…)

There’s only one rule in Fight Club – never talk about Fight Club. …But I guess that doesn’t really hold as strongly with a massive group of vampires conducting their own supernatural “fight night”. In Marcel’s vampiric version of fight club, the rules are simple: the vampire left standing at the end of the night is one step closer to the inner circle and a daylight ring. And the fighters are fierce, holding nothing back. But when you forget to invite the Originals to a party, don’t think they won’t take the opportunity to crash. Klaus and Elijah shortly bring the event to a halt to demand the return of Hayley from Marcel, but it turns out he doesn’t even have her. He just stopped by to say “hey girl, hey” and took off into the night. But since he’s such an accommodating king, he’ll even help find her. His only question is, “If Hayley isn’t here, then where is she?”
