As someone said there are 3 versions and now I have seen all of them. I really enjoyed the last version
I dislike TVD's persistence in being juvenile. The Originals is more grown up and I wasn't bored at all.I was also happy to see Kol because I doubt an actor would bother to have a guest role for 2 minutes in a coffin if they were not going to appear again.
I thought Elijah carried the pilot really well. I'm not sure if they've done the series a favour by the ending the episode the way they did between him and Klaus, if they're wanting Klaus to be the main protagonist - they need to give some balance to his bratty tantrums, as they did on TVD. I wonder what people who haven't seen TVD are thinking of him as the main character?
I wonder if the regular daggering of Elijah is how they're going to deal with Daniel Gillies' schedule conflicts when he was also filming Saving Hope. This technique has already go old for me. I'm starting to find it very frustrating and it no longer has the shock value it once did.

I think what you said in the spoiler is what their doing. It's annoying though.
I didn't hate it, Looking forward to a brand new ep though
What a brilliant second episode. It does feel a lot more adult than TVD and I enjoyed it very much particularly the scenes with Rebekah and Hayley.
I agree. Really good episode. So many new things happening. Rebekah definitely livened things up. Even Marcel seemed more appealing to me. Can't wait until Elijah is undaggered.

I doubt people are thinking of Elijah as the main character, considering he's just been (as far as new viewers are concerned) killed.
I say it like that cause new viewers aren't going to know about the whole dagger and sleep thing. I know it was referenced in the episode with Kol and the other brother (name escapes me) but these would still be new viewers. Wouldn't surprise me if half of them don't expect to see Elijah again.
I wouldn't be surprised if it will be heavily Klaus and Rebekah-centric, bearing in mind last week was told from Elijah's perspective.
I'd believe this also. Having seen the premier of season 5's VD, Rebekah pretty much says goodbye to Matt; obviously she's now off to meet with Elijah and Klaus (though they wouldn't know it). It wouldn't surprise me if episode 2 of the Originals is set a couple of weeks/months after the premier. It would give Rebekah chance to change her mind for starters, and would give Elijah time to awaken.
I'm also hoping that season two, they'll just change the show name to Originals. Don't think they need the before it. Sounds a bit... tacky?

No, I was meaning Klaus as the main character. Joseph Morgan's name is first on the credits, yet new viewers will see a vicious, bratty protagonist who ended the first episode stabbing the character who had featured the most during the pilot. I was wondering what non-TVD viewers, who aren't familiar with Klaus thought about him.
I enjoyed the second episode. So far, I'm liking the Originals and TVD being separate programmes.
I read a review which said they did the point of view from Elijah because he is easy to like. I Agee with that because you don't want to frighten newcomers before they realise Klaus does have a good side.
I read that some are worried about Daniel not being in the shoe a lot because of that other series. Daniel did say that the 2 shows are shot at different times of the year so he could do both. He did say that the other series came first but he was only a guest star in TVD.
From what some have said about that other series he does not shine as he does in the Originals. Now he can really show how good he is and we won't have to wait months to see Elijah.
Gotta say when The Originals hits SYFYuk later this month those who haven't watched it are in for a treat. It makes vampire diaries look lame. It's much better andf darker than tvd. Both episodes so far have gripped me.

Sorry, I just hate Klaus, Hayley and Rebekah too much to watch it and the pieces I have seen are just cementing that.:(

The other show he is in is pretty crap. I think I saw the first ep. Not sure I'd fell asleep on the couch and woke up to it. Watched it as I'd read about it but I thought it was weird. His character was pretty blah too.
I have to admit, she could have her decent moments, but just like Klaus the writers seem hell bent on not giving any of them a moral streak for more than five minutes at a time. I think that might be why I'm glad they're all in their own show and away from TVD for now.
i think the originals is better than vampire diaries , its just more interesting. vampire diaries is getting a bit stale so its nice to have something from the same universe but packing some punch. as bad as Klaus and Rebekah can be at times you actually find yourself rooting for them this time.

The originals has a darker and more adult theme than the Vampires Diaries which works for me. The Vampires Diaries reminds me of a teenage soap with some fangs thrown in. So far, I'm impressed with the Originals.
This is great, really gripping. I thought at first it was going to be different people playing The Originals, this is like having a double helping of The Vampire Diaries.
I much preferred the latest episode to the premiere and the backdoor pilot. Actually, I'm preferring it to the current season of The Vampire Diaries, anyone else?

I just hope
thank you!

I kinda have a crush on Rebekah
