Legacies 2x02 Review (SPOILERS)
This episode gave me life in SO MANY WAYS!!! It made me laugh, cry, scream, and yodel!
1) Hope being a little badass monster-hunting Nancy Drew is everything, WE STAN. Also her “first meeting” with Alaric was so amazing, and I just love Ric being his dad self. Their connection is so beautiful, and I’m a sucker for a good father-daughter relationship.
2) When I tell you I SCREAMED when I saw Leo Howard from Kickin It, because I had no idea he got the role of Ethan and I’m so happy. Low key feel guilty for thinking he and Hope would be cute together lol 😅
3) My heart broke for MG 😢💔 he’s just so in love with Lizzie, and I get her desire to want to not be known by her past mistakes or her mental health, but MG knows all those things about her and still loves her. It’s just sad. I will say that I am proud of Lizzie for how she went about telling him, and how she said she didn’t want to hurt his feelings. It goes to show how much Lizzie has grown as a person since season one. She’s gone from the most annoying character to the character with the most emotional growth and development. I really love her 💜
4) Now I already read an interview that J Plec did where she talked about how Josie and Landon’s relationship would be affected by their personalities and I thought it was very well done, with Josie always wanting to be there for and do things for Landon, and Landon wanting to be perfect for Josie. They both try so hard for others, often at the expense of their own desires and needs. Maybe this will lead to the eventual downfall of their relationship before they even remember Hope, but I think them being in a relationship together will allow them to realize what they truly want and need. Their relationship was definitely unexpected, but I think the things we least expect are the ones that open our eyes the most.
5) I’m going to need the writers to stop making my love Hope Mikaelson cry, this is not okay! When she said she fell for a guy that didn’t know she existed, I freaking lost it! Just, give her a break already.
6) I’m intrigued by how everyone remembers little things about Hope, because with everyone else who got erased by Malivore, there was nothing to remember, like the dryad and her lost love. I think it’s because Hope is a tribrid but not a fully activated one , so even though people don’t remember her now, it won’t last forever. What if everyone remembered her if she were to die and come back a vampire? Hmmm 🤔
7) I’m excited for the next episode, obviously because of the football game (!!!) and the monster that feeds on werewolves because we’ll finally have Raf back to human most likely since Hope will hopefully remember he’s stuck in wolf form.
