The Originals: Season 4

Hey Guys,

after a really great season 3 of ‘The Originals’ i had really high expectations of this season. Sadly they weren’t fullfilled. It is still pretty good if you love Klaus. So let’s start with the best thing that is part of the biggest problem this season.

Klaus as an amazinig father

I never doubted him any second. Every scene we got with Klaus and Hope is perfect and on point. It is so good to see him with this little girl and all the other scenes with Klaus are amazing. His storyline and developement is great. I love every bit of it. I really love how Hayley and Klaus are making decisions together. I love how it is never a problem that she is in love with Elijah. Klaus accepted it as much as Hope. But there is never any question about who her father is. I really love this dynamic.
But as good this part of the season is it is sadly the only really good thing about it. There is no place for any other storyline except Elijahs.

Elijahs real face

I found many people saying that Elijah become Klaus so Klaus can be a good father for Hope. I totally disagree with it. It was Elijah who started this unhealty protection of his own family. Elijah was Klaus idol. Elijah the big brother who protected the family at all cost. The last season we saw Elijah destroying the life of three vampires so his family would be free. We saw him kill Marcel – Klaus son…
This is not something that Elijah became. This is something Elijah always was. Klaus was just taking this part over and now he starts seeing the wrongs in their ways. But Elijah doesn’t. Elijah is still standing still were everyone else is evolving.

Everyone else…

That is the saddest part of the season. Sadly even get much of Hayley and Hope or nearly enough of Hayleys storyline – were actually this is about her parents…this really needed more time. Than we got all siblings together and i was so happy about it. Just so Rebekah and Kol can run away. Don’t get me started on the Kol storyline. Which is be so dump and unnessassary. I really wish they would give the other siblings more screen time. A real storyline and not just to at pain to Klaus or make the situation more dramatic.

The Finale…-spoilers

I am not ready to talk about this finale… maybe i never will be. It was heartbreaking and made me cry the whole episode. There were amazing scenes between Hayley and Klaus, Klaus und Elijah… Freya and Keelin.
But sadly Rebekah and Kol came little short again. Rebekah got her time to speak her mind about it and got her ending (which i personally hate – she deserves better and i dislike Marcel for the way he treated her).
But Kol… he came and got no time to actually say anything about it. He has no scene with any of his siblings alone (just a little Freya hug – the only person he can actually see again) or a scene with Hope… nothing…
He came and than run a again. Yes we see him happy but we knew this before… i hate how they used Kol in this.

So i am happy and unhappy about a new season. I am happy about a new season because maybe so we will get a happy end for Klaus. Which i totally need.
But on the other hand i am afraid about the way the will use the other Mikaelsons Familymembers and don’t give them the storyline they deserve.
So yeah i will watch the next season but just for Klaus, Hayley and Hope… not that the other will have a real storyline…
