My Latest Obsession: The Originals!

My Latest Obsession is a post that I will be doing every now and then featuring something I’m obsessed with. It could be anything from a song to a cartoon character, it all just depends on my mood. 

My latest obsession is the TV show The Originals!  (Really, I think I’m just obsessed with TV.)

I’m a huge Vampire Diaries fan.  I love that show.  However, I wasn’t always a fan of the characters on the show, especially Klaus.  When I heard that the original family would be getting a spin-off show, I was skeptical.  I knew I’d watch it (mainly for Elijah and Rebekah) but I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do.  I’m even starting to like Klaus!

The Originals can stand on it’s own.  There is no need to watch The Vampire Diaries before watching The Originals although I would recommend it since I love it.  The Originals has a cast that’s made up of some old faces (Klaus, Hayley, Elijah, Rebekah) and some new ones (Marcel, Cami, Davina).  It’s a great mix and I love the new characters that they’ve introduced so far.

First up, there’s Marcel.  He’s supremely sexy and definitely kind of scary.  I want to hate him but there are times when I just can’t.  There are flashbacks showing how he met Klaus, what his relationship is with Rebekah, and some other things.  The flashbacks are really what make me like him.  It will definitely be interesting to see how he went from orphaned boy to vampire king of New Orleans.

Then there is Davina.  That girl is scary!  She’s young and pretty but she’s also a super powerful witch. She has tons of power and she’s not afraid to use it.  She’s also got a bit of an attitude which I love about her.  Deep down she’s just a teenage girl who has been sheltered for far too long and just wants to live her life.  I look forward to seeing how she handles the introduction of the original vampires.

As for the old cast, Rebekah is just as badass as ever, Elijah is the perfect gentleman, Klaus is still a murderous lunatic (but I’m okay with that), and Hayley is getting better.  I’m not sure how I feel about her yet but she’s not as obnoxious as she was in The Vampire Diaries.  It’s an improvement.

The plot is mysterious and very intriguing.  I never know what’s going to happen.  I love that about The Originals.  To be honest, things in The Vampire Diaries have gotten a little predictable.  That is so not the case with The Originals.  Each episode seems to have a new twist and I’m eager to see how every last detail is going to tie together.

If you haven’t already checked out The Originals, do it now!  It’s worth your time!

Have you watched The Originals?  What do you think of it?  If not, do you plan to?  Let me know in the comments!
