    "Eh, whiny girl with self-esteem and daddy issues?"
    You know that there's very little difference between Klaus and Rebekah when it comes to their issues, right? All you have to do is change "girl" to "guy" in the sentence I quoted and it can easily be applied to Klaus.

    I see your point. But Klaus plots and kills people and surrounds himself with fun witches and flirts with Caroline to deal with his as part of a larger character arc. Rebekah just pouts, whines, and gets Matt hurt.

    To be fair, Rebekah whines, pouts, and gets a lot of people hurt. :)

    "Klaus plots and kills people and surrounds himself with fun witches and
    flirts with Caroline to deal with his as part of a larger character arc."

    This actually illuminates the problem I have with Klaus. He no longer has a legitimate character arc or much of a direction at all, really. He just takes up space yelling, flirting, or being undeservedly smug. He's all style and no substance.

    I get that Rebekah is grating and does things to annoy but that's indicative of someone at the beginning of a large character arc. If they play it right, the character is ripe for a strong, long-term character evolution. Klaus was never built that way. He was a one-season "big bad" who should have had a beginning, a middle, and an end to his story but has been kept around after his purpose was fulfilled due to various superficial reasons.

    So...she's been primed for a character arc for like 15-20 episodes? When is she ever going to go somewhere beyond being annoying and grating? She wore out her welcome with me by never doing anything fun. If you can't be entertaining as a devil-may-care b*tch in period clothes and a speakeasy set, I don't know what it takes. Klaus may be arrogant, but he does have style and he does stuff. I can appreciate swagger, afterall he is invincible and crafty. You never know when he is going to throw a soccer ball through your house.


    I don't think that a good character only gets one big plot and darn! they're worn out. Write another arc for him. Maybe being in Tyler and finding himself vulnerable for the first time in centuries is a shock to his system? (see why I'm not a TV writer?) Elijah was designed as a one-off guest star and he is still fascinating. Caroline has had a great growth arc, but I don't think she's kaput. We just don't know where he is going this season, it don't think that necessarily means there is nowhere for him to go.

    I totally agree with you he should really just be one season big bad because TVD usually have a diffrent one each season

    "She wore out her welcome with me by never doing anything fun."
    That's a matter of opinion. Butting in on Caroline's turf at school and annoying the crap out of her was a lot of fun to watch, as was the episode where she took over the theme dance.

    "Elijah was designed as a one-off guest star and he is still fascinating."
    Guest stars and series regulars are a whole different deal. Elijah is so interesting because he only shows up a handful of times throughout the season. If Klaus was only a recurring character who had about the same amount of appearances, I wouldn't have such an issue with the character's continued existence.

    "Caroline has had a great growth arc, but I don't think she's kaput."
    I agree. Caroline had a "growth" arc. Klaus hasn't and the character wasn't intended to have one. His purpose was to be the big bad guy, not to have a prevalent emotional evolution, and the show snuffed out his natural exit when they decided to shoehorn this bloodline rule for vampires.

    Unless they find an entirely different (and equally interesting and purposeful) direction for his character, he's just needlessly taking up space.
