To me it felt like a tireless retread of stuff we've already seen. We saw most of this last season but that's not what I mean. It feels like they're just going to start retelling the same Klaus stuff we already know, such as him daggering/betraying his own family.

If you watched TVD you already know that, but now he's on his own show and they either have to commit to the belief that people have watched TVD and don't need to be told that, or they're going to have to retell/show the new people all the same stuff, and since the first episode was a straight up retelling it made me think that's the direction they're leaning towards.

I have a feeling the first episode or two will be the Cliffnotes on Klaus and the other Originals but it will soon subside and they'll get into the story more fully.

Yes, most of The Originals viewers are Vampire Diaries viewers but they had to make this show accessible to new viewers too. I don't mind that the first episode was a little redundant as long as the whole season isn't going to be the same way.

I didn't catch up with the current season until now, because to tell you the truth, I wasn't really looking forward to this season and was ready to drop the show, but they've surprised me this season. It's like they hired a whole new writing team that threw out everything and started from scratch. I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow's episode for the first time in at least 2 seasons.

Also, I like that they're using '90s era song titles for the episode titles this season. Have they used song titles in past seasons? Or am I thinking of True Blood?
