The Originals reaction bullet points

I liked this episode a lot, but I’m not sure I liked it as much as some of the others.

It has been said (and repeated in interviews, which I mostly skip as I try not to read anything from JP´s mouth) that the pregnancy stops the full moon transformation, so I guess the baby´s safe. Not that I care too much, I have to agree it´s shocking how little I care about the main story line and one of the lead characters. Still, I am grateful at least I am not as irritated by Hayley as I had been in TVD (I just hated her as character). I do not mind her, but I do not care or feel for her. And yes, the Elijah/Hayley teasing is quite... disgusting but DG can deliver it so lovely that I can stand it (for now).

SO much I enjoyed your review as usual! A lot of Elijah and an Elejah reference...couldn´t be happier! :D

Thank you!

Hmm, I suppose that makes sense but it's always a little iffy to draw parallels between werewolf-ism and menstruation and they should really explain it on the show at some point

this is Elijah, you have to hear what he doesn’t promise you.

IKR? It was so obvious that he planned to kill Agnes himself.

I like you Cami, people slapping Klaus for being a murdering asshole is alright by me.

Hahahahaha, ME TOO.

What he didn't say was so obvious he might as well have screamed "SHE'S STILL GOING TO DIE YOU FOOL." Like I said, at minimum he might have given her over to Kieran to deal with, but odds still pointed to him doing it, either way Agnes was as good as dead by the end of that scene. So I spent the scene at the church fully expecting it to lead to a "What are you an idiot? I only said I wouldn't let *you* kill her" ending so when he got there the only surprise was that he killed the other people too.

When I watched the episode again, I realized that the men he killed were the masked zealots who helped Agnes kidnap Sophie. So they were just as culpable as she was. But yeah, it wasn't really clear, since they were all wearing MASKS in the kidnapping scene.

Oh so it wasn't the Council? It was really unclear who the background people were in that scene. Well if it was other people actually involved in what happened I'm less divided on what I think of it, I'll just enjoy Elijah's wholesale attack on the witches (and their followers) for playing them. It's still pretty dark but it doesn't set off me 'but...if Elijah's going to start killing humans, especially uninvolved ones, this should be a bigger deal' issue.
