OT-Did anyone ever watch 'The Originals'

Well it's a Vampire Diaries spin-off about the original vampire family. They spawned all the other vamps. More mature, Ive never seen TVD but I hear it's more for teens. It's kinda like Game of Thrones, people die but some obviously are harder to kill. Werewolves, vampires and witches. This very show now has a spin-off too. I highly recommend, at least watching the pilot. Great casting, characters, production and writing. Everything you could want in a show. I feel like it was designed for me

Nope not at all. There is a crossover ep however but you dont really need to know anything previously. Then further on in the later seasons, you have Caroline and Alaric but no, no essential previous viewing required unless youre curious about those specific characters

Yeah there are quite a few of us in the business. Im just surprised sometimes when I look up certain actors and they turn out to be Australian or from New Zealand. Yvonne Strahovski from Chuck is Australian, then theres Rose McIver who is the lead of iZombie, being from New Zealand. Obviously there's Nicole Kidman who at one stage, was the highest-paid actress for an advertisement.

A four minute feature film made by director Baz Lurhmann (Australia) advertising Chanel No. 5 perfume is the world’s most expensive TV advertisement costing £18 million ($33 million) to produce. Starring Nicole Kidman (Australia) as a Marilyn Monroe-style actress who is pursued by paparazzi, the advert made its debut on the big screen in cinema’s throughout the USA on 1 November 2004 and subsequently premiered on USA television on 11 November 2004. Having made its initial debut on the big screen in the USA, the advert went on to be shown in cinemas and subsequently television screens throughout Australia, UK, France and the Netherlands from November 2004. The glamorous production awarded Nicole Kidman a fee of 2 million ($3.7 million) to appear and featured couture outfits by designer Karl Lagerfeld and a sound track by classical composer Debussy.

@deblovesbeccy no I havent seen shadow hunters, ill check out the trailer and the pilot though.

dazz Yeah agreed. The final season disappointed me as well as the ending, felt really forced and too neat. Although the writing suffered a bit after the end of season 3 on the whole. Legacies is ok, obviously not as mature as TO but I guess Im watching it because of TO, apparently Klaus is going to appear soon? It's also much more procedural than TO. Joseph Morgan was definitely the star of the show, followed closely by Daniel Gillies. Marcel as a character was alright but he played the victim card a lot imo and it really is true and because of that, he is kind of a shadow of his mentor as Klaus said when he was locked up down there all by himself.

As for other ideas they couldve gone for apart from Legacies hmm. It still surprises me that Hope is not trying to find a way to bring her father and uncle back from the dead even if it may be pointless. Would like to have seen the attempt, always and forever after all. It is amazing that as powerful as Klaus was, they managed to create some pretty good villains. Imagine if the Arrow writers had to run this show... Klaus as a villain is just as interesting to me as Lex was in Smallville. Anyway back to other ideas, I think they could have spun-off the Strix, there is potential there. I wouldntve have tuned in if they did a witch or a werewolf spin-off

Have you seen this interview with the TO cast? It's a great one.
