I honestly don't have much to say about this episode. (Yeah, this wound up way longer than intended. Of course. It's me, LOL!)

Thanks for your quick recap.

- Rebekah/Marcel: zero chemistry. Their epic love doesn't work for me at all. I was so glad when she turned on her heels and left (and then he grabbed her and they kissed and I went "Nooooooo! Dammit!") When she told Elijah that she would leave I actually had a second of hope they would swap Tyler for Rebekah on TVD.

- I liked Elijah in the pool. I think he is surprised at what he feels and I liked watching all these emotions crossing his face. And maybe this Hayley/Elijah thing works for those who haven't seen TVD and don't know about Katherine? But for us who know the backstory, agreed, it is more than weird.
I'm not sure how I feel about Phoebe Tonkin, she really doesn't stir up any emotions in me.

- It was crystal clear that Ellijah would be the one killing Agnes. He only said it would not be Klaus. Huh. For TVD-viewers that was like an announcement that he would do it instead.

- Cami/Klaus: I liked her. And it was interesting to see how his compulsioin works. He so expected her to be thankful or cheerful for dead Agnes, and she simply pointed out to him that what he did to her was NOT acceptable and that she hates him for it. Klaus needs to grow up.

Do you know if they are going full season?

Definitely.

Oh, as soon as she turned away I knew he was gonna pull her back and I rolled my eyes. Again, SO PREDICTABLE! Ugh.

Hah, I wish!

Yes... and now, I think it's moving too fast. It was fine with the flirty looks and stuff last week, but it's kinda moving too fast now. It was so cliched and OH, LET'S RANDOMLY COME UP WITH A WAY TO GET THEM WET AND IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS!!! Puhleeze. And, then of course the moment where they are close and their eyes meet and they have a moment. Again, U-T-T-E-R-L-Y predictable.

I'm not sure how I feel about Phoebe Tonkin, she really doesn't stir up any emotions in me.

She can't act and her accent sucks. That's how I feel. :)

- It was crystal clear that Ellijah would be the one killing Agnes. He only said it would not be Klaus. Huh. For TVD-viewers that was like an announcement that he would do it instead.

Yup, predictable.

- Cami/Klaus: I liked her. And it was interesting to see how his compulsion works. He so expected her to be thankful or cheerful for dead Agnes, and she simply pointed out to him that what he did to her was NOT acceptable and that she hates him for it. Klaus needs to grow up.

I liked this, this wasn't predictable. I actually liked Klaus' reaction simply because while, yes, it was childish it came from a place of Klaus trying to help her and his childish reaction wasn't because he was being a brat, but from a child's confusion. He'd been genuinely trying to help her (in his own way) and he was confused that she didn't see it that way. I found that fascinating. Their story was the one great thing about the episode.

Oh, totally. The show been getting really good ratings for the CW. It along with TVD, Arrow, Supernatural and The Tomorrow People are the success stories on the CW.
