Best badass moment:
Tyler’s appearance was very this week was very brief, which I have a feeling
most of you didn’t mind. I loved the scene where Rebekah snaps his neck. She
wants to put a stop to Klaus but will not let anyone use the baby to do that. I
wonder what she’ll do now that Hayley is all alone with Klaus. As for Tyler, I
guess he’ll be spending some time in the garden until the writers find a way
for him to be useful. Maybe he can start and ‘I hate Klaus’ club with Thierry.
Best ‘Oh no she didn’t’
moment: As much as I don’t want a romantic relationship between Klaus and
Cami, I do have to admit that there’s something there. Might have something to
do with her psychology degree, but she’s one of the few people (not related to
him) who’s not a afraid to tell him off. Klaus must feel something for her
because I doubt he’d let her live otherwise. I am curious what Cami will do
with her new found information. For the past few weeks I’ve been thinking she’d
end up a vampire, but now I think she might find another way to get rid of the
compulsion. She’s certainly dedicated.
Most tragic moment:
The flashbacks of Elijah and Celeste broke my heart. It seems Rebekah wasn’t
the only one whose relationships got ruined by Klaus. I’m not sure why it is
that Klaus refuses to let his siblings be happy and in love, but I do hope they
clarify because it is not helping my opinion of Klaus. It’s obvious that Elijah
doesn’t want to get to close to Hayley because he doesn’t want her to suffer
the same fate. Celeste was probably not the first love he lost. We never did
find out what happened with Tatia.
Best fight scene:
Probably the best fight scene of the season so far. Klaus vs. Marcel’s army. Klaus
seemed to be losing the battle at some point, until his werewolf strength kicked
in. After that bodies just started flying. Rebekah convince Marcel to take the
coin to save his life. By taking it he surrendered to Klaus. There were a lot
more dead bodies than I thought there would be. Later Marcel points out that he’ll
never have their loyalty, because it’s something that can’t be forced.
Best confrontation
moment: The final confrontation between the Original siblings had me
rooting for pretty much all of them. I can see where they’re coming from.
Rebekah and Elijah are right that Klaus has always been the one to push them
away, by daggering them or killing their loved ones. It’s completely
understandable that they have given up on him. And Klaus has been messing up
repeatedly. But I get that when his intentions are pure for once, and they don’t
believe him, it must have hurt. He probably didn’t see the point in being good
if they’re just going to accuse him otherwise anyway. Like I said, I get where
both parties are coming from. However I don’t think Klaus leaving was the best
solution. If he wants to be accepted by his family he’ll have to slowly gain
back their trust. He can’t expect to get in back in one day after screwing up
for the past 1000 years.
Favorite moment: It’s
not as much a favorite scene this week. More like several moments, all of which
including Josh. He’s fast becoming one of my favorite characters. Most vampires
on this show have been around for at least a century, so I like his fresh take
on things. It’s nice to have a newbie vampire who’s not overcome with hunger
and completely freaking out. He’s also great comedic relief.
Favorite quotes: Hayley: “So you’re having weird retro sex dreams. Get over it.”
Marcel: “Relax, if he knew, he would’ve ripped your spine
out through your nose by now.” Josh: “Oh, great. Now I feel totally at ease.”
Next week will be the mid-season finale. I predict a cliffhanger that will leave us at the edge of our seats. Tune in next week for a new review and let me know what you thought of 'The River in Reverse' in the comments.
