So, this is a random post that I thought I should write about because it's been bugging me.
I'm going to admit something that makes me feel a little ashamed; I used to like the Twilight series.
Yes, I was twelve. Yes, I was stupid, and though I never refuse dares, if someone dared me to read the Twilight series again, I would run from the room screaming to chase after the Gone series by Michael Grant (which, by the way, I need to review sometime), and refuse the dare.
So, like many other people who watched the spin-off pilot have said, I was extremely enraged and disgusted by the 'the baby twist'.
And, of course, it had to be Hayley, officially the most bland character in the history of The Vampire Diaries.
Honestly, I like Phoebe Tonkins. Sort of.
I don't really know her, I've never seen The Secret Circle (which I guess her 'debut' show), and I've only ever watched one movie with her in it, in which she was fine.
But, I'm sorry. I honestly hate Hayley. And not even because of the things she did to Tyler or anything (I know some people really hate her because of that), but because she's boring, and now they're trying to make her important with this baby twist thing. With poor Klaus, of all people.
If you read my review on The Vampire Diaries episode I did (I don't really remember which one it was anymore), you know how disgusted and annoyed I was at that dumb sex scene between Hayley and Klaus.
At the time, I thought it was useless waste of screen time, but of course it's impossible to think that after that stupid pilot.
Okay, I'm working myself into a rage, and I need to sleep soon, so I'm just going to try and talk about the other characters we saw in The Originals (the new ones, too).
So, I'll start with Marcel, who we see first. I'll ignore his bitches (his vampire family) because they're ridiculous - like many things in this spin-off are, apparently - and talk about him.
Honestly, he pissed me off, big-time. Self-centered, annoying, bland, and dumb.
A very pretty package - and a very talented actor - playing another stupid, annoying character. Like Hayley, actually.
And then we have the main witch (who dies) and her annoying I-spend-all-my-time-crying sister whose name I honestly don't remember and couldn't care less about.
I thought she was needy, and entitled, and flat-out annoying.
And that thing where her sister died for a spell? That was inconsistent, and unnecessary, honestly.
Camille - Klaus's love interest, I'd guess, given the Caroline blondness vibe - is mildly interesting, though a little forced.
I mean, the karate thing? Seriously?
I think they're trying to make me laugh, with a cast like this. Sorry, with characters like this.
Because I'm sure all of these actors are fantastic. But I'm also sure there's very little to work with when it comes to poorly -written characters.
Overall, I'm upset that Klaus is no longer going to be on my (Vampire Diaries) screen when the show comes back.
And, if it's not obvious after all my ranting, I have no intention of watching the spin-off, because it's just too Twilight, and the other characters (outside of the Twilight story, I mean) are not compelling enough to get me into it.
So, I'll talk to you later. And try to finally write that review of Gates to Paradise and everything when I reread that book during the Book-a-Thon a few days from now. Bye. ;)
