The Originals review – 2×07: ‘Chasing the Devil’s Tail’

November 18, 2014 by thedude35

I get why had to do it, but I don't have to like it!

After the reveal of a new ‘bad guy’ in last week’s episode, we don’t hear mention of her at all this week. Instead, this week is dedicated to family matters as the brothers reunite without their mother. Who will make it out alive from this reunion?

The Originals review: 2×06- ‘Wheel Inside the Wheel’

November 10, 2014 by thedude35

And sadly, this is about all we got from Elijah (Daniel Gillies) this week

Just like that, we have a new “bad guy” to root against and over a thousand years of backstory that has yet to be discovered. Does it help make Esther (Sonja Sohn) any less despicable?

The Originals review – 2×04: ‘Live and Let Die’

October 27, 2014 by thedude35

I, for one, am beyond ecstatic we are back on the "Klami" train going full speed ahead!

In an otherwise dark episode, some genuine sexual tension brings a smile to this reviewer. But did they follow through on that tension or leave us hanging once again?

The Originals review – 2×01: ‘Rebirth’

October 6, 2014 by thedude35

I get it, he lost his baby for awhile, but I'm thanking my lucky stars we didn't have to deal with depressed Klaus (Joseph Morgan) for too long.

The season opener begins a little slow, but picks up steam with a well executed plan against the enemies of The Originals. What’s in store for our main characters this season?
