too school for cool

The whole run of The Originals was about his redemption, it was about maybe fatherhood being the one thing that would make him want to be a better person. He could have failed miserably and either get punished for his sins with his death. Or we could have seen him being successful and doing the ultimate sacrifice, dying so his daughter could have a future. 

We’ve watched him spend centuries torturing his family, making everyone miserable and then we got to watch the family come together to try to repair all the damage they’ve been through, and I feel like they were successful at arriving at a point in their relationship where everything was forgiven, or at least forgotten.

It’s sad that he won’t get to raise his daughter and see her become the person she’s going to become one day, but I feel like there had to be some kind of punishment for all the daughters that grew up without a father because of Klaus Mikaelson. Or all the daughters that didn’t even had the chance to grow up because he took that away from them.

There’s only so much redemption someone like Klaus can find, it doesn’t erase the years of being evil and all the lives he destroyed, at some point, he had to get what was coming. It’s a basic principle, you will pay for your mistakes, you have to face consequences for your choices. I love Klaus and he will always be one of my favorite characters, but I’ll never believe he should have gotten a happy ending. 

I don’t think it’s very fair of me to comment on specifics because I didn’t watch any of the episodes of this season yet and I’m not really updated on whatever happened, so for all I know, their storyline could be the best thing to ever happen on the show. Or the worst thing that ever happened. But either way, I’m not going to be that kind of person to trash something I didn’t watch. 

I do plan on maybe watching when the season is done, if my friend tells me it’s great and I should watch. She wasn’t  a big fan of the last season and then she marathoned the show before this season and her opinion changed a lot. I think that sometimes you’re not in the right state of mind, or you’re being too harsh. And there’s always the shows that benefit from being watched as marathon instead of weekly. 

But back to the question, I still talk way too much after all this time, sorry! It’s not a secret that I’m a huge Klamille fan and I obviously would have very much loved for them to end up together, but I’m also a big fan of good storytelling, if it makes sense and it’s interesting to watch, I’m not against it. I also know that I’m not always going to get what I want, it’s not how TV (or life) works, I can quit or learn to deal with the disappointment and enjoy things.

I was never against Klaroline, I used to be a fan back on TVD, and I wouldn’t be sad to see them having something more or just interacting again if that was something that made sense for the storyline and was respectful to both of the characters. I think that it’s not because it’s Klaus’ show that he should be the only character to benefit from an interaction, whatever happens should be respectful to Caroline’s essence and something that would be very true of her character.

Did whatever happen respected the essence of those two characters? Was it fun to watch? Did it make sense for the storyline? I don’t know, like I said, I still didn’t watch it, which at least for me means that I don’t really get to have a very strong opinion. 

I’m not sure which dress you’re talking about, but you can find a lot of TV clothes in one of those two websites:

It’s not that, I found a post in the tag of someone talking about it if you want to know, warning, it’s a big spoiler: here. 

I did think about it, but I didn’t enjoy the little I watched of the last season. Actually, the one episode I did enjoy was the last one (I only watched maybe 2 and half episodes), it would have been a very satisfactory series finale for me. 

I liked that they didn’t end up dead, but also didn’t necessarily end up happy, they might have done their best at redemption, but I don’t think people like them deserve an actual happy ending where everything just ends up exactly how they want. And I like that they had to break their vow so Elijah could finally have a probably peaceful life. I enjoyed the theme that maybe peace doesn’t look exactly like they thought it would, but it still works. 

I also enjoyed very much that Rebekah was finally put first, and it breaks my heart to think it won’t last and she’s going to get leave behind again for New Orleans.
