Is anyone watching The Originals?

[Beechview]

Its the spin off from Vampire Diaries?

I really like it. Much better than Vampire Diaries. OK so it doesn't have the gorgeous Damian in but Elijah is keeping me interested....

Oh yes, me!
Am hooked. The only thing that bugs me is how utterly beautiful everyone is...bah humbug!
I do miss a bit of bad boy Salvatore, though...ah well.

I like all the historical flashbacks. Why are vampires so enamoured of the Deep South? New Orleans is beautiful but why? Is there a hell mouth there or something?

It seems to me that whenever they need somewhere historical in the USA, it always has to be the deep south. I'm sure it's not the only area with a rich history but it does seem colourful and interesting.

I like Marcel too. He's very good (or bad)

I have been watching it. I don't think it is as good as TVD, yet, but has potential. I am a Klaus fan and will watch anything with him in it.

I watch it too.

Me too

I think I prefer to the Diaries at the moment. Elijah is really attractive in it now he has been undaggered.

I am finding Elijah really attractive!
He's such a 'good guy' with old fashioned values. Its nice :)
I thing The Originals is a bit more grown up than vd, and a bit darker. I hope it s not just the one series. I'd like it to carry on.

Loved last night's! Lots of Elijah hotness.

Don't want to spoil it but it was Elijah's finest moment so far, including TVD

I LOVE it. I have a shameful soft spot for Klaus. I so badly want him to end up with Caroline from TVD (which is great this season btw)

Anyone else see something brewing between Elijah and Hayley?

Ooh there is lots brewing between Elijah and Hayley. YY to Klaus and Caroline, I quite like Rebecca and Matt together too.

I liked Matt and Rebekah too. Actually, I like all three originals. I always feel a bit sorry for Rebekah, she's been properly done over by the men in her life

sidenote - Did anyone see last nights TVD? I was

Not sure how much I like the Damon/Elena pairing, even though I was rooting for them. I preferred it when they are fighting their attraction, the S3 kiss at the motel was super-sexy, now Damon seems like he's been de-clawed (last nights ending aside)

I keep watching from the other night [swoon]

oooh, I've not seen this weeks yet. I shall hunker down tonight with some alcohol free mulled punch to watch it. I really hope there will be a fair bit of crossover, and lots of flashbacks. I find The Originals' past really interesting, Klaus wasn't always bad. It'd be interesting to see what changed him
