Under the cut, you’ll find 30 gifs of Taylor Cole. I do not own any of the gifs; I will happily credit the creators or remove the gifs they own if requested.
So I watched TVD during quarantine last year, and even though I swore to never watch another Julie Plec show again, I’m watching TO! I thought I’d share my thoughts, let people see me root for Marcel Gerard or read my feelings about the Mikaelsons. You can find my reviews of S1-3 on my blog.
4x01
Ooh Vincent got a haircut, he looks great
HE LOOKS LIKE A PREACHER TOO, THAT’S COOL
LMAOO THESE VAMPIRES RLLY TREATING KLAUS LIKE AN ATTRACTION AT A CARNIVAL
Marcel!! How u doing babe
Klaus doesn’t look so good…I like it
WAIT IS MARCEL IN LUCIEN’S OLD PENTHOUSE?!
People want to steal Klaus from Marcel?! What for?!
Oh great…people are after Hayley, no surprise there
HOPE’S SO BIG, WHAT A CUTIE
I like that Grandma Mary’s still in touch with Hayley, it’s sweet
Glad to see Josh is doing well
WHATTT SO KLAUS CAN ACTUALLY TALK WITH THE BLADE INSIDE HIM
I guess I was wrong about the blade, oh well
And Klaus is really contained in that circle?? I mean…idk, he’s the original hybrid so I expected more chains and protection
AWW HAYLEY AND HOPE HAVE A CUTE MINI HANDSHAKE
Well…Phoebe’s acting hasn’t really improved, not really a surprise
AWWW IS VINCENT ABOUT TO GET A LOVE INTEREST?! YES PLEASE, I WANT THIS
So Alistair has a really disturbing motive…
HOW DID THIS ALISTAIR GUY FIGURE OUT FREYA’S PLAN SO QUICKLY
OOH LOVE THE FACE OFF BETWEEN KEELIN AND HAYLEY
And there it is, Marcel won’t let Rebekah die!!
KLAUS U MORON, GREAT JOB PLAYING MARCEL
NOOO ARE U KIDDING ME, VINCENT HAS TO CANCEL HIS DATE?!
Why couldn’t I have badass Scottish guy Alistair as a real villain
KLAUS IS ABOUT TO GO APESHIT, NEVER BRING UP HOPE UNLESS U WANT TO DIE
HAYLEY IS DECIMATING THESE VAMPS, WE LOVE TO SEE IT
ELIJAH MY LOVE IS BACK
Ok…so maybe that was kind of a nice haylijah scene
Oh yeah, go ahead, kill Vincent, I’m sure Cami would approve, Klaus
LMFAOOO VINCENT THREW CAMI IN HIS FACE, FUCK YEAH, I’M ACTUALLY LAUGHING
FREYA…ARE U KIDDING ME, WHY U KEEPING KEELIN CAPTIVE
Can’t say I’m surprised that Klaus got the Tunde blade inside him
OH NOOO WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN TO THIS LITTLE BOY
Oh god…clearly something horrible happened
4x02
Well, I guess if you’re gonna feed on anyone, might as well be criminals
Yikes, so did Keelin’s whole family get captured and killed?!
Looks like Marcel is already onto the Mikaelsons…I guess it might’ve been better to act fast
Awww Maxine made her son a protection charm, that’s so cute
OHHH LEAH PIPES LOOKS SO PRETTY, WHITE IS SUCH A NICE COLOUR ON HER
KLAUS ADMITTED HE MISSES CAMI OH MY HEART IS BREAKINGG
So all Rebekah needed was a witch to siphon her hex?? THAT’S IT?! Too easy smh
Idk Beks…Marcel’s arguments sound pretty legit to me
I like that Cami’s words sound like her but it’s Klaus’s consciousness so it’s kind of sweet how connected the two are
“Davina is lost forever” HOLLOW SAYS SIKE
DAMNN MARBEKAH’S GETTING TENSE
I would bow down to Rebekah without asking but I’m on Marcel’s side
YEAHHH HAYLEY OFFERING HERSELF AS A CHANNEL TO HELP KLAUS
Kol does not look convincing brooding over Davina…I literally rolled my eyes
Marcel facing off against Elijah AKA his murderer…things are about to get vicious
Thank god, the charm saved Vincent
LOL KOL SAVING MY BABY BEKS, WE LOVE TO SEE IT
CAMI’S HELPING KLAUS C’MONNN
I love that the mention of Hope just amps Klaus right up
Ohhh Marcel’s speech is breaking my heart
I just love Rebekah’s relationships with all her siblings
Klebekah’s hug had a lot of chemistry…is it really siblings hugging or lovers
Oh god, Phoebe’s delivery “we’re a family, we fight for each other” I’m sorry but it sounded so childish
I know Klaus was captive for 5 years but I hope his hair gets fixed soon…also how is it so short, does Marcel bring a barber in every 3 months or something
UGH THAT STUPID “I’M NOT LIKE MOST PEOPLE” LINE, I’D LIKE TO THROW IT IN THE TRASH
I’m guessing the hollow is somehow tied to the ancestors
I’M GETTING SO MUCH GOOD KLAUS SHIP CONTENT: KLEBEKAH, KLAYLEY, AND KLAMILLE?!
Ok Klaus watching Hope sleep is really cute even though that kind of stuff is creepy lol
4x03
HOW DID THEY GET A WAITER IN THE HOUSE
KLAUS’S FACE AT SEEING HOPE
AWWW SHE’S SO SHY, IT’S SO CUTE
I’m loving Klayley as parents
OOH VINCENT + EVA FLASHBACK
FLASHBACK: How does Vincent remember a “different” NOLA before Marcel when Marcel gained control of the city in the 1940s
So Eva was actually brainwashed?!
U TELL KLAUS, HAYLEY, DON’T LET HIM SHOOT ACCUSATIONS AT YOU
Rebekah looks so pretty and elegant…I feel like I talk about this every episode
AWW MY BABY BEKS STILL WANTS A FAMILY
ARE U FUCKING KIDDING ME, KEELIN LITERALLY HAS A WEIRD SORT OF MUZZLE ON
WHY IS HAYLEY SHOWING MORE COMPASSION TO KEELIN THAN FREYA, I’M SUPPOSED TO ROOT FOR FREELIN?!
HOPE’S LETTING KLAUS PAINT WITH HER!!! He looks so happy aw
OH MY FUCKING GOD, KINNEY’S STILL AROUND?!
WOAHHH THAT BOOK IS CLEARLY EVIL IF VINCENT’S ASKING TO BE KILLED
OH PLEASE KOL, JUST SHUT UP ABOUT DAVINA
Those were some complicated words that came out of Keelin’s mouth about why her bites weren’t healing quick
Why does haylijah’s age difference look more pronounced in this episode
KLAUS AND HOPE ARE BONDING YAY
EXCUSE ME FREYA, WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR FKN ATTITUDE
Oh yeah Freya, because Dahlia’s methods of “the world is a bad place” really helped you thrive and grow
KLAUS’S FACE WHEN HOPE DESCRIBES BAD GUYS IT’S SWEET BUT FUNNY
OHHH KLAUS CALLED HOPE AN ART PRODIGY, I LOVE DAD!KLAUS THE KLEBEKAH SCENE AWW
OK THIS LITTLE HAYLIJAH DINNER SCENE IS KINDA CUTE
Well now this dinner scene’s a little boring, lol I’m just a little eh with the “you’re a good person, too good for us” type of speeches
WELL GREAT, FREYA FOUND KEELIN AGAIN
OH GOD PLEASE DON’T LET THESE POOR KIDS GET SACRIFICED FOR REAL
4x04
I’m watching the recap and I missed a bunch of scenes from the end of 4x03??
How have all these people been recruited by the hollow
OH MY GOD, ALL THOSE PIGEONS JUST DROPPED DEAD…VERY WEIRD
KLAUS, HOPE NEEDS U, LET ELIJAH TAKE CARE OF THE BLOODSHED
OH AND WHO REMOVED MARCEL FROM “ALLY” STATUS, ELIJAH
Great, Freya’s forcing Keelin to help her
Ok, u can throw shots at Elijah but Davina wasn’t a child, Vincent
Wtf is up with the attitude, witches
This Lara person seems suspicious
What the hell does Kinney want from the hollow
OH MY GOD ELIJAH GETTING SHOT AND TEARING KINNEY APART…THAT’S FKN HOT
Idk if it’s such a good idea to remove Hope’s bracelet, Klaus
Keelin’s being a little too nice to Freya
Lara’s kinda making points…but it’s too bad that the hollow seems to be evil
Why is the hollow only popping up now
“The great beast” yeah I think we already kinda did that line back in s3
Is it bad that most people in TO are just plain annoying me at the moment
Klaus, was it really a smart idea to leave Hope?!
OH GOD, THOSE KIDS ALREADY LOOK DEAD
OH SHIT, WHAT’S HAPPENING TO MARCEL AND KLAUS
Poor Kinney…I feel for Vincent too, he’s already lost a lot
How is it that the idiot Mikaelsons always fall for the villains’ tricks
SHUT YOUR EYES, MARCEL, I DON’T WANT ANYONE TO HAPPEN TO YOU
I guess the ritual didn’t work??
I’m glad the kids are reunited with their families
Kind of a nice speech from Hayley to Marcel
They’re clearly already setting up Freelin
At least Freya came to her senses and let Keelin off the hook
LMAOO ELIJAH TALKING ABOUT THE BOURBON (we all know it’s bourbon, c’mon now)
Why is Hayley asking Elijah about the kids???
Ugh, I do not like that he would’ve sacrificed them
IS MARCEL LYING OR TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HE SAW IN THE CIRCLE
OH NO, THE HOLLOW MUST’VE GOTTEN MARCEL AND KLAUS
Ohhh it was a dream for Hope
4x05
FLASHBACK: I guess the usual child actor for Klaus got a little too old lol
FLASHBACK: How traumatic…finding a bunch of bodies brutally murdered
So Marcel’s somewhat self-aware about the hollow’s hold over him
Also the abattoir cannot possibly be safe for Hope, it has to be violating a ton of construction guidelines
Yup, something is definitely wrong with Klaus
FREYA, DO NOT TRY TO DEFEND KIDNAPPING KEELIN
Freya’s already upset about Keelin leaving?? This was a terrible build up, how did they connect so quick
Fantastic, Elijah’s talking to Marcel
Wait, yeah, it’s actually the hollow…although I loved the tired look on Elijah
LOL KLAUS BITCHING ABOUT THE HOLLOW’S EFFECTS
PLEASE, CAN WE NOT GO THROUGH ANOTHER ROUND OF THE MIKAELSONS TRYING TO FIGHT MARCEL
FUCK, I’M SO TIRED OF THIS STORYLINE, GET IT OUT OF MY FACE
Yikes, Hollow!Klaus and Hollow!Elijah taunting Marcel
Mikael is despicable but he’s one of my favourite villains
Ooh looks like Klaus is getting a couple shots in at the hollow
Wow, Keelin came back…why though
OH GOD, KLAUS KILLED ACTUAL PEOPLE
Kinda wish Klaus had seen Hayley’s dead body instead of Freya’s
Why does the hollow want Marcel and Klaus dead??
WAIT WAIT WHATT THE HOLLOW MANIPULATED MARY’S HUSBAND
FUCK HOW ABOUT NO BLOOD SACRIFICE, HMM
Good job, Klaus, you’re being manipulated by an orb
The colouring of this haylijah scene is really pretty
MORE LIKE KLAUS IS GONNA KILL MARCEL, FREYA
REALLY, YOU’RE GONNA LISTEN TO MIKAEL, KLAUS
Thank god Marcel’s winning
OF COURSE ELIJAH JUST GOES AHEAD AND ATTACKS MARCEL EVEN THOUGH KLAUS STARTED IT
EXCUSE ME?! DID FREYA JUST SAY THAT MARCEL’S BOUND AND CLOAKED?!
I do not appreciate Freelin tempting me with the trope of fixing another person up
Elijah, PLEASE get out and leave Marcel alone
I HAVE NEVER HATED ELIJAH SO MUCH, THIS FUCKING SPEECH MAKES ME SO FURIOUS
FUCK ELIJAH, FUCK KLAUS, FUCK FREYA
I HOPE MARCEL BITES ALL OF U AND U PEOPLE DIE FOR REAL
SHITTT SOFYA SET KLAUS UP
WAITT IS SOFYA WORKING FOR THE HOLLOW?!
4x06
Yes Vincent, give Elijah all the attitude needed
DON’T INVITE HIM IN, VINCENT
Huge mistake, Vincent. Should’ve just bitch-slapped Elijah outta there
Why is it a good idea to hold a party?
JOSH IS BACK!! Finally someone I like
Did…did Klaus carve out that ice thing by himself? I’m down for seeing Elijah do all the dirty work
WELL GREAT, NOW KLAUS IS TAUNTING MARCEL
NOT THE FUCKING TUNDE BLADE
Can we throw in a klamille reference so Klaus can be ashamed again
Yes guys, you’re right. Klaus has, indeed, GOTTEN WORSE
HELLO JOSH, THE MIKAELSONS’ DO HAVE VAMPIRE HEARING, DON’T BE SO OBVIOUS
Oh…this house must’ve been Hayley’s old home
How does the card readings work??
They have to find someone in presence of a snake?? Ok then
OOH THAT WITCH FRIEND OF SOFYA’S IS THE ONE WITH THE SNAKE
OH MY GOD KLAUS ROASTING SOFYA LMAO
WHATT THE HIGH PRIEST OF THE HOLLOW
So the ancestors were good for one thing…
DAMN, THAT WITCH “BATTLE” GOT KINDA INTENSE FOR A SECOND THERE
I’m not into this Klaus and Sofya dance
There’s really enough blood on that bracelet to kill the entire Mikaelson family? I call bull
Did I mention how pretty Keelin looks at this party
I like that the high priest referred to Elijah as the Mikaelson patriarch
Kinda love that Vincent and Klaus teamed up together
“I GREW UP ON A VIKING FARM, I KNOW THE SMELL OF FERTILIZER” DID ELIJAH JUST INDIRECTLY CALL BS LMAOO
OH SHIT…THAT HIGH PRIEST SAID HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED
I’m kinda into Elijah taking a page out of Klaus’s book
Well now I get why Sofya wants revenge
Eh…I don’t think an alliance between Elijah and Vincent is necessary, considering what happened to Marcel
Well good, I’m glad he didn’t accept
I want to learn more about Keelin, let’s get more backstory on her
The Mikaelsons didn’t bother to put an alarm on the dungeon?! No other sort of spells?!
LOL KLAUS IS BITCHING ABOUT ELIJAH’S METHODS, OH HOW THE TABLES TURN
THE TUNDE BLADE IS PART OF THE BONE?!
Oh god, that stupid priest is alive again
4x07-4x13 review coming soon! Please, DO NOT POST SPOILERS OR HATE COMMENTS. I don’t expect people to agree with my opinions, but being rude is not going to get me to change mine. I haven’t seen the show before, my opinions are probably going to change over time as I keep watching. If you want longer notes on any of the episodes, opinions on a TO ship, my overall thoughts on S1-3; please ask or message me, I’d be happy to share them.
