That is football where I come from. :)
I've only seen one episode where they had an actual game though. I think it involved Jenna not being jealous of his fan club or something like that.

I was thinking the same thing as I was watching. There really isn't a clear line between heroes and villains. Everyone's a bit of both on this show. Which is actually more realistic. And yes, Elijah should rule everything.

Klaus does love to speechify.

Doesn't he play football with Jake? He doesn't wear his varsity jacket as much as he used to but I know they're on a team.

Yeah, I don't think Jake will last in the long run but I'm enjoying him on my screen while I can.

Who's Desmond? Stephen? Confused.

The show is finally correcting course but they ruined what should have been excellent television and they can't go back and do it over.

I like where your head's at.

Don't feel badly about it. A lot of us may just be biased and cynical. This is Shondaland. Your version may end up being the truth. Who knows?

My favorite scene will always be when she'd watched The Real Housewives of New Jersey, showed up in a gold lame dress, and said "I'm here to hang with the bitches." while snapping her gum. I adore that woman.

I think Klaus is color blind. So far, on "The Originals", I'm loving him even more than on TVD. There's something wrong with you if you empathize with a sadistic serial killer, right?

She looks Italian to me. Michael Trevino is also Hispanic but this is about appearances more than technical ethnic background. So for the purposes of the black witch/white witch head count in this universe, Sophie is white. They don't have any Asians or Indians either but that's not the topic.

The look on Sophie's face after her conversation with Rebekah indicates the witches may know of Klaus by reputation but didn't really think about the consequences of using him to remove Marcel.

That was why Jane-Ann died. The linking spell alerted Davina and she told Marcel.

You're not the only one who noticed. There's been a lot of discussion about TVD for years about the fact that most of the witches are black and working with/for white vampires. Klaus had a couple of white witches to his credit. Then when they finally bring on the Original Witch, lo and behold, she's white (and the…

My favorite scene with Elijah will always be when he threw the coins against the glass window. That was an entrance.

It was so appalling but still really hot. I have conflicting emotions about the Damon/Rebekah sex scene.

I was wondering why the name seemed familiar. Thank you for that. I miss Leverage.

It's addictive. Not perfect by any means but definitely addictive.

The original plan was to have Olivia with Stephen but when Shonda saw the chemistry between Tony and Kerry, she changed the script. So I think that while she allowed for it to be a main theme, Olitz was never where her focus really was. I expect loads of suffering for fans of the relationship because if they end up…
