Overview
Wow, this is the second spin-off that I'm reviewing starting this season. Spin-offs are all the rage now, apparently. Interesting. Anyway, this is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries, and unlike the other spin-off I review (or the other other spin-off which I don't think of as a spin-off since I never watched the original show) this one actually makes sense. The backdoor pilot was aired as part of The Vampire Diaries towards the end of season 4, and it was pretty good. So the reasons for the spin-off are very simple - Klaus and his family are moving to New Orleans to have adventures there. The Vampire Diaries will continue to cover life in Mystic Falls with Elena and her buddies, and The Originals is shifting to New Orleans. Cool. Klaus' one-night-stand Hayley is going to have a creepy hybrid-werewolf-baby-thing, and his brother and sister Elijah and Rebekah have followed him to help raise the creepy hybrid-werewolf-baby-thing, which hopefully will be less creepy and more cute. Also hanging around, a random witch and bartender. We'll see how they go.
Stuff
I wasn't all that thrilled about this, not being a massive fan of the original vampires anyway, but two things changed my mind. One, the fact that Rebekah and Hayley will be in the same place at the same time which will hopefully lead to a scene between the two of them (which I would find ironic and hilarious because the two actors played mermaids in an Australian show I watched many years ago as a child and was a huge fan of) and two, the creepy hybrid-werewolf-baby-thing. There should be more babies in television (not going to happen, they're expensive and time-consuming) because they're adorable and fun.

Today's Header
Taken from episode 1x01, Always And Forever. This was a very boring episode so I thought Hayley's very bored and sulky expression would sum up my feelings about it.
