I'm not sure Claire Holt is cut out to play the deadly invincible bad girl. I think she peaked with H2O JUST ADD WATER. Time should have stood still and froze that perfection. But here, up till now, it's a lightweight performance as Rebekah, the bratty vampire, who's supposed to have been dead for 90 years, yet comes back instantly adept with teenspeak, has the modern lingo down pat. Doesn't strike me as the type who'd have survived long in the vampire business. Like Harmony in ANGEL, albeit much more ruthless. Oh well, got THE ORIGINALS #1 lined up for me in the near future, stay tuned to hear what I'd say by then.
Kayla Ewell unfortunately hardly looks like the jewel remembered from back in the first episodes. Here she just kind of merges with all the rest. Don't get me wrong. Kayla is Class with a capital K (yeah, baby!) but here she is just like Claire, playing against fond memories, up against toughest rival of all: younger self.
Malese Jow. Wow. Previous episode that heart-rending gut-wrenching scene re being stranded alone having nobody...
I think Candice Accola makes for (sigh) a dream girlfriend (sigh) When Michael Trevino picks her up... (sigh) and she chuckles the way that only Candice Accola can chuckle... Aw gee, that is so sweet... (sigh) Not good for The Raven to dwell on this too much...
Full marks again to Nina Dobrev. Those eyes... Okay, enough said there as well.
Golden Raspberry to Paul Wesley. Has a look the ladies love, okay. Has a plum part, central character. Never comes close to what Stefan should have been, would have been...
