Aside
from reading (and now that I'm sort of on hiatus with fangirling), I
love watching TV series. Starting last year, I have been watching
probably around 15 different series (I know, nag-a-adik lang and walang
life) and well, The Originals is actually NOT one of them. LOL. Thing
is, The Originals is a spin-off of the series The Vampire Diaries and
I'm behind by 2 seasons already with it. I thought that I need to have
seen TVD for me to understand The Originals. But, as a friend said, I
can watch it standalone. And he's right! :D.
Given
that most of the series I'm watching is on a break and won't be back
until mid-January, I finally had the time to sit down and watch The
Originals. I'm glad I did. :)
The
story is about the Mikaelson siblings, the world's first vampires, thus
called, The Originals. There's Elijah, the eldest and the noble one;
Rebekah, the youngest and Klaus, the strongest simply because aside from
being an original vampire, he is an original hybrid (half-vampire,
half-werewolf). A werewolf, Hayley, is pregnant with Klaus' child and is
being used by witches to overthrow Marcel, current "ruler" of New
Orleans and Klaus' protege. Klaus, with his siblings, returns to New
Orleans to reclaim what is originally his city.
I'm
really loving this series. And yes, I think it's better than TVD. I
have a love and hate feelings towards Klaus. Originally, I'm all Elijah.
But as I continue to watch, I'm suddenly having all this love for
Klaus. His character is so tortured. He's a total ass. King of all
asses. But just when I'm starting to think that I totally hate him,
another side of him is shown, the lonely, tortured one just looking for
acceptance and happiness, and I'm again loving him. Arrggh....
I can't wait for the comeback episode this January! :)
