The Originals - I Love You, Goodbye - Review

21 Feb 2015

Share on Reddit
This week’s episode featured the anticipated wedding of Jackson and Hayley. Through the ceremony, the werewolves get their new strength. Freya brought Finn back from the dead, while Kol died in the presence of his siblings and Davina. Hope was introduced to the werewolves and we find out that it is her magic that will lead Dahlia to her. 

Least surprising return: Since the actor who is currently playing Finn was promoted to a regular, many guessed that he’d be back. I had expected him to at least be absent from this episode, but I completely forgot about Freya. Of course she’d be able to save him. I expected him to crash the wedding at some point, but it seems bringing someone back from the dead takes a while. I’m glad he didn’t get to, it would’ve ruined some of the great scenes we got afterwards. 

Most beautiful scene: I’ve never denied that I’m not a big fan of Hayley and Jackson together, but the wedding was beautifully shot. I almost didn’t recognize the Mikaelson compound. From the decorations to the music, it was in one word: stunning. I liked how they handled the change in the werewolves, that it happened instantaneously when Hayley and Jackson kissed. The entire scene was elegantly done. 
Cutest couple: Josh and Aiden sort of came out of the closet this week, which was a big step for Aiden especially. I’m glad neither the werewolves nor the vampires gave them any trouble. They had so many cute moments this week. I do think the new power of the werewolves will cause trouble eventually. There seemed to be a bit of foreshadowing in the scene on the streets. But I hope these two make it through. 

Most tragic couple: Just when I started to ship Davina and Kol, the writers go ahead and break them up. One more dead boyfriend and Davina will be tied with Jeremy for “worst luck in relationships”. Their scenes broke my heart. He tried to hide what was going on, didn’t want her to worry unless he knew absolutely sure he couldn’t fix it. Daniel gave another great performance this week. I’m almost completely sure that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Kol. Right now I’m torn as to who I want back more: Nate or Daniel. 

Best moment of family: I figured I’d separate these into two different categories. I love that Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah showed up for Kol. This is what was missing the first time he died. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one who was disappointed how little the siblings grieved the last time around. I’m glad that wasn’t the case this time. A lot of issues have been settled in the past few weeks, they finally started to act like a family again. I hope they are the ones who eventually bring him back. 

Most complicated character: I feel like this should be a tie between Klaus and Elijah. It’s not a secret that Klaus doesn’t like Jackson, but even though I don’t believe Jackson will live past this season’s finale, I don’t think it will be Klaus who kills him. I believe, and hope, that for his daughter’s sake he will let things go for now. Now it’s pretty obvious that Elijah is in love with Hayley. I’m not sure what he was trying to do before the wedding, considering he himself has pointed out how import it is for Hope, but I’m glad he’s respecting Hayley’s decision and is keeping his distance. I don’t think this is the end for them, you know how the writers love to turn up the angst. 

Most adorable baby: The twins who play Hope took the cute factor to a whole new level this week. The stole the show in every scene they were in. Just when I think they can’t get any cuter, they prove me wrong. From flirting with Jackson (let’s be honest, that was totally her saying “Hi, I like you.”, to trying to eat her stuffed monkey, to the adorable pink dress. I know they tend to age children quickly on TV shows, but I hope they don’t in this case. 
Most confusing moment: I’m surprised Jackson living at the compound was such a shock to some characters. Wasn’t that kind of obvious. Hope will be living there and there’s no way Hayley would not live with her daughter. And since married couples usually live together, I thought that was just a given. Or is that just me? 

Best quotes: Jackson: “You brought me a bag of werewolf heads?” Klaus: “Well, I’d hoped you’d see it as an early wedding present.” 
Rebekah: “Now it’s white, which won’t fool anyone. But you can’t get married in skinny jeans and combat boots.” 
Klaus: “No more running, queen.” 
Elijah: “I know that look.” 
Cami: “Happy mom. Happy dad. Happy baby.” 

Now that’s it for this week. There’s a two week hiatus now, the next episode will air March 9th, so check in again later that week for an all new review and let me know in the comments what you thought of this week’s episode.

  1. I really loved this week's episode. I'm not happy about the hiatus, but at least it's only 2 weeks. Could've been worse.

  2. you REALLY think it's just angst that building up between Hayley and Elijah? that they are nowhere even close to over?

  3. I hope we see Nate back as Kol cause otherwise the mythology won't Make sense. It'd be awesome to see how Kol will return. If he'll be back as a vampire or witch. Also, I'm excited to see Mikael and Freya's return.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I don't think we've seen the end of Elijah and Hayley. I'm a Klayley fan FYI, not a Haylijah fan. But there are just too many unresolved feelings for the writers to let this relationship go. As for Freya, I'm still hoping she's not going to be completely on the bad guys' side. I think Dahlia will be taking over as Big Bad next season.

  5. I was watching the episode and I was really half-expecting explosion to take place throughout the duration of the wedding. I was that unhinged because I got used to bad stuff happening out of nowhere in this show.

  6. It would be better if the cw would use abc split schedule for airing their shows, as their mini hiatus I dislike.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Not a horrible episode, but I'm mostly waiting for Dhalia to come a long to get past all this werewolf stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  8. idk about Mikael, as they don't seem to know what to do with him.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I know! I want him to have a bigger storyline. They said we'll see more of Esther and Mikael

    ReplyDelete
  10. They tried that once with Gossip Girl and 90210 back in 2009-2010. Both shows were off the air for much of January and February, only to return the following March.

  11. I know his body was destroyed but Rebekah said he can be brought back from the Ancestors. Like Celeste did and Monique put her back in her original body

  12. This was not the best episode for me its not like it was not good but my shippers heart was broken. Elijah wanted to say the words its just harder for him to say the words and Elijah cried and that made me cry and I did not like Haley this episode. Elijah moving out not that I blame him and a small Cami and Klaus scenes. Baby hope is so cute. Cant stand Jackson I find him boring and I still don't trust him and I am confused when Haley and Elijah finally came together she said that she does not love Jackson and then she tells him that she married him for her what a joke. The wedding was pretty just the wrong groom. Kol dying was so sad. I hope this is not the end for Haley and Elijah more angst.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I hope this is not the end they are amazing together. I cant stand this Jackson and worse than that I donty want Kaley to happen Someone said on tumber that Klaus is getting rid of Jackson and wanted Elijah to move out so he can Haley to himself. I don't seeing that being true. I don't know how she can marry that boring SOB I would pick Elijah. I don't know if I can stand watching Jackson and Haley together

    ReplyDelete
  14. I am just a Elijah and Haley fan and I have been since day maybe the writers are doing a slow burn I don't know I hope they don't ruin this ship. No offense but I like Klaus and Haley as friends I do like Cami and Klaus

    ReplyDelete
  15. Glad the wedding is over. I will never like Jackson. I wish Elijah would let Klaus kill him

    ReplyDelete
  16. I like Hayley/Jackson (hate Hayley/Elijah and I hope we never see it again and Elijah goes off and gets with Gia) so I hope it sticks for good.


    On the living arrangements - I think it's two things. I do agree it's about the baby - Klaus wouldn't be okay with Jackson & Hayley taking her out into the swamp and Hayley wouldn't be happy leaving her behind. But I also think Klaus wants to keep an eye on Jackson because he doesn't really trust him.


    I HATE that they would kill off an Original over a character like Hayley or Cami. They needed to kill off a non-Original character instead, I think. I'm fine with Kaleb biting it - but they should have just had Kol get his own body back and added Nathaniel Buzloic as a regular.

  17. You can have your opinion. Elijah and Haley have amazing chemistry and they belong together but some people don't have taste. I hate Haley and Jackson and lobe Elijah and Haley and I don't think that Elijah is going to fall in love with someone else he does not love easily and it was explained that Gia and Elijah would never happen. And the writers are not going to give up on this couple and a lot of people like them. And Gia and Elijah wont stick so dream on. And I don't trust Jackson either. And I was sad about Kol. But you can like who you want and I will stick with my coupe to be endgame. I used to people have negative and don't care

  18. Great Review.

    To say i'm disappointed with this episode would be a major understatement-
    1.They actually went through with that ridiculous wedding.
    2.Jackson and hayley had lustful kiss at the end and i'm also guessing made love off-screen!
    3.Hayley made Elijah cry.That B***h!
    4.Vincent was resurrected magically.Why can't the dead stay dead for more than 1 episode,writers?Why?
    5.Caleb got killed.Just when daniel was making the character more believable and likable.Great job on this one!
    6.Marcel continues to have no storyline at all for weeks now.
    7.Klaus continues to remain annoying as ever.Now thanks to him,we'll have the
    fortune to witness the newlywed couple's blossoming love every episode!
    Only good thing about this episode-Josh and aiden made up.But aiden will bite the dust soon,so no hope here too.

  19. Kol died as a witch. there's no way he's coming back as vamp

    ReplyDelete
  20. Daniel will miss me

    ReplyDelete
  21. I liked Kol and Davina. I wonder if Kol will come back later. That scene was sad.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I agree with you on all those points, I guess you know I am a heavy Elijah and Haley fan and I will never get some of the negative comments about them. I for one am glad the wedding is over and Elijah crying made me sad. He was going to tell her its just harder for him to tell how he feels. This wedding is not going to save Hope she is still in danger. Did not understand on 2x9 haley told Elijah that she did not love Jackson and then in this episode she said that she married Jackson for her. Don't blame Elijah for moving out, but I wonder if he will be back. Some people think that Elijah and Gia. I dont think there will be romance because he does not love easy but would not mind some jelouse Haley. Was listening to after buzz and someone said that Elijah was selfless in this episode I don't think so- he did nothing to ruin their wedding and he was just telling Klaus the truth and Klaus is getting over porotective of Cami it was his ideal for her to stay with Elijah, even though Elijah would never hurt cami. Is his flashes over??? I just hate when people say that Elijah and Haley relationship is wrong because he is the baby uncles- who cares and its not incest because they are not related. I dont want this couple to be over I love them together but its only season 2 maybe they will be slowburn. My endgame couples are Cami and Klaus and Elijah and Haley. And I don't want Klaus and Haley. I have to stop listening to other peoples opinion Did read Elijah and Haley will be working together. I wonder how that will work with the feelings, maybe some sexual tension. What do you think??

  23. I agree that scene made me cry. Liked Davina and Kol, hopefully he will be back. Is Daniel going back to Teen wolf, I thought he was a good actor on the Originals. Was he still trying to dagger Klaus- did not understand that one. Part of me felt that Davina and Kol were rushed and some people say my couple are rushed (disagree)

    ReplyDelete
  24. were you surprised that Kol actually had feelings for Davina?

    ReplyDelete
  25. no word on Daniel coming back to Teen Wolf and i liked them too, i know it's weird and part of me wanted to throw up every time i saw them together because of the whole maybe statutory rape thing depending on Kaleb's age but i didn't feel like they were rushed honestly

    ReplyDelete
  26. THEY HAVE NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL. DANIEL LOOKS LIKE HER FATHER TOO.


    Please stop responding to every comment I make with the same crap about Haylijah - they're awful and nothing you say will ever change my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I really dont have to. There is nothing awful about that pairing I guess that's your opinion Whatever. There is nothing appalling about them they have amazing chemistry and they belong together. And your opinion does not bother me because they are meant to be together. You want a appalling couple look at Haley and Jackson and Klaus and Haley and there are many fans of Haley and Elijah. I don't want to change your mind you can stick to your boring couple

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yes I was surprised but I did like them together. I have to stop writing to people responses regarding Haley and Elijah someone says there appauling I don't understand why anyone would like them together. But that same person likes Jackson and Haley so no taste I guess. Do you think Elijah will get with Gia. Elijah doe not love easily I don't think they will become romantic maybe close or make Haley jeolous. I want Haley and Elijah to be endgame and not Klaus and Haley. Someone said that Elijah was selfless in this episode I don't see that at all he states the truth. And people need to understand that Elijah does not love easily. And I don't think that it was wrong for Elijah to Haley. I don't understand on 2x9 Haley told Elijah that she did not love Jackson but then she told Jackson that she married him for her. Someone thought that Haley was dalia that does not make sense

    ReplyDelete
  29. I have not heard anything. When does that return

    ReplyDelete
  30. I can understand what you are saying I am a hard Elijah and Haley fan and would love them to be endgame. And Elijah is the reason I watch the Originals. I like Klaus sometimes but not all the time. I don't like when he tells Elijah what to do What do you think about Gia. Someone though they will hook up I don't think so Elijah does not love that easily. I did not like Haley this episode I don't get it on 2x9 she said that she did not love Jackson and this episode she said that she married Jackson for her. I don't like Jackson and Haley together and am glad that the wedding is over. Someone said that Elijah was selfless and I don't see that at all he states the truth. And Elijah showed Haley he loved her by saving her life and crying for her. Daniel Gillies is such a good actor. And Hope will still be in danger. Do you think Elijah will return to the compound and I guess Daniel gillies is done with saving hope. And I just wished some people say that Elijah and Haley relationship is gross there is nothing gross about it. I would love to take Haley place

  31. Maybe after TVD ends,Nina can join TO as resurrected Tatia.As for Gia,i don't even consider her as a distinguishing character enough to think about her getting involved with Elijah.She's not going live past this season and everyone who watch this show are well aware of this fact in the back of their mind.These type of characters aid in moving a certain plot upto a certaon degree,nothing more-a plot-device to be exact.The moment that purpose is completed,the character either leaves the show/bite the dust.In her case,the latter seems more likely.And,yes,Elijah will definitely return,how can he not?Just wait 2,3 episodes max.He'll be back.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I have no issue with Jackson/Hayley - I think she has more chemistry with him than any other guy on the show.

    ReplyDelete
  33. they moved filming for January so they're filming right now, it was originally December and it premieres on June

    ReplyDelete
  34. I tend to disagree. I will never like them as a couple. I think they are boring like I have stated before. And that is all I am going to say. I just wished elijah would stop trying to save him. To me Daniel and Phoebe have amazing chemistry (Elijah and haley). But you are entitled to your opinion

    ReplyDelete
  35. I like your way of thinking. TVD got renewed for another season. I know I read that Daniel Gillies said that Elijah and her wont be a couple, but I guess I listen to what peoples opininions are to much and I have to stop doing that. I understood why elijah moved out I dont blame him but I would think he would have to move back sometime. And guest stars are Gia and Jackson so thats true they can bite the dust. So are you a fan of Klaus and Cami?? I am there is one couple that I hope are not endgame and that is Klaus and haley.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ok thanks I always forget about when it premieres. What are your opinion on Klaus and Cami. And I hope Klaus and Haley never happens romantic. I guess I listen to what people say to much

    ReplyDelete
  37. Truth be told,i didn't care much for cami in season 1 but this season,she has grown on me.As for klaus-i think JoMo is an excellent actor but i don't like this character in general-but that's just me.As for them together,i do like their subtle chemistry-it's not over the top,neither it is blown out of proportion like Delena in TVD.So,i kinda like the idea of them as a romantic couple.But if that doesn't happen,i'd be okay too.As long as klaus and hayley doesn't end up together in the end,i'm willing to accept any twist they throw at us for now.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Daniel looks like he should be her father, not a love interest.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Agee. I for one would like Haley and Elijah as Endgame. Someone said that Daniel is to old to play Haley love interest. He is not that old and who cares its tv and Josephine as a love interest she is old, shes like 65
