How long can you really expect two shows, in the same universe to run side by side? There's only so much you can really do with vampires, werewolves and witches.
not if your creative. angel had 4 seasons alongside buffy
Angel and Buffy's mythology and main stories were very different. Angel was more based on his past and how his actions have now affected today, while Buffy was very much about having the weight of the world on your shoulders
They keep showing a quick photo of Klaus in ad breaks.
Yes, it's been confirmed that they will, although I'm not sure when.
It's a shame Daniel Gillies was still tied/is still tied into Saving Hope, as I've a feeling it will cut down on his appearances as Elijah in the Originals, just as it impacted on the amount he could film for TVD. I know they juggled his schedule around to try and fit in with his Saving Hope commitments, so hopefully they found a way round it.
Same here
Daniel Gillies belongs in TVD world! I think he would have snapped up The Originals like a shot had it been available when he was taken on aboard Saving Hope. He has a strange sense of humour, but I remember reading in one interview that he signed on for Saving Hope because he needed the money!
It's disappointing that it's on Syfy, not ITV2. Surely it should be on the same channel as TVD? I will have to wait until it is released on dvd, and then either get it from Lovefilm, or if it's not on there, buy it!
The Originals will air on 22 October on Syfy, so not long to wait for it in the UK!
I do agree though that, without the Originals, VD will suffer. I don't think the exec producers expected Klaus and the Originals to be as massively popular as they are, despite season 3's main story being about them. Klaus was supposed to die at the end of season 3, after all. It's to their credit they managed to keep them in season 4.
I'm wondering if it's already been leaked online since July, as I came across some YouTube clips of Elijah, Sophie and Hayley, which weren't in the TVD 4x20 episode. They were described as a directors's cut. Further digging online revealed an entire episode (a repeat of 4x20) with extra dialogue and a final scene introducing a new character.
Again, this seems to have been around for a few months. Has the entire first episode actually been leaked online?
I suppose I'll have the answer to that tomorrow.
According to what I've read there's 3 different versions of 4x20/pilot. The original one/the one with the new character/elijahs pov.
All a bit overkill but whatever. I'm quite interested in this show as the originals are the best characters though I reckon they work so well because you look forward to them as apart from Klaus they weren't main characters so it might suck but I'm going to give it a few weeks before I decide
I liked it too, though I didn't really believe in the cliffhanger much, as I suspect it'll be undone immediately. Apart from that it was grand.
thanks, will remember to series link
was the ep shown last night the same as April or new?
I quite liked it, save for the ending. They're bound to turn that around sooner rather than later, especially as Rebecka is suppose to be back too.
thanks
Yeah, it was essentially covering the events of the episode from TVD Season 4 again, but from Elijah's perspective instead of Klaus', with some scenes we'd already seen where Elijah and Klaus cross paths.
