The Originals review – 1×05: ‘Sinners and Saints’

October 30, 2013 by thedude35

The underlying theme of The Originals is brought to the forefront once more as all paths lead back to family in tonight’s episode: those who have a family, those who want a family, and the lengths to which some will go when they’re pushed to protect family.

The Vampire Diaries review – 5×04: ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’

Who knew? Amnesia Stefan (Paul Wesley) turns out to be more entertaining than I would have ever imagined. With a walk down memory lane and another emotional funeral, ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ feels like an episode from the early days of the show.

The Originals review – 1×04: ‘Girl In New Orleans’

With more witches trying to kill the hybrid baby, an all powerful witch with a crush, and the hunt for Elijah (Daniel Gillies) coming to an end, 1×04 proves to be a solid episode. However, it’s the final scene that gets this reviewer up in arms.

The Vampire Diaries review – 5×03: ‘Original Sin’

Who knew that it would only take five seasons for the writers to explain the whole doppleganger situation? If that had been the only positive from this episode, I would’ve considered that a win. Lucky for us viewers there Is much more to enjoy in ‘Original Sin’.

After a lack-luster episode last week, The Originals comes back strong by doing what our immortal Original vampires do best: go to war and attend really cool parties.

The Vampire Diaries review – 5×02: ‘True Lies’

Even though it is seriously lacking in suspense, the second episode of The Vampire Diaries seems to be finding its groove and get this fifth season off to a pretty steady start.
