Legacies - I'll Never Give Up Hope



Discussing Ep. 2.1

- I like the new logo without the colourful fireworks. This one works better!

- Aunt Bonnie! I hate how they tease TVD alumni!

- So Lizzie is hanging out with Caroline in Europe? Again, another tease.

- Alaric looks good with a beard. Looks more distinguished!

- This is really what has always gotten me about TVD universe vampires.....there's nothing 'vampire' about them other than their fangs and eyes and super powers. They get to walk around in the sunlight like normal people and it's off-putting. Seeing Kaleb and MG just hang around on a sunny afternoon, having BBQ is so not-vampire-like.

- I'm curious to know if there is any significance to having that "Jesus Saves" sign in the shot with MG and Kaleb.

- Why is Landon cooking the meat? Raf is a wolf....they don't need the meat to be cooked!

- Damn it, I was hoping it would be Klaus who rescued Hope.

- Clarke is coming off like some creepy dude at a club trying to pick up Hope! It's almost funny.



- I'm curious to know....if the world has completely forgotten Hope....then why has nothing in the world changed? We saw in Lizzie's alternate universe experience what happened when Hope never existed. So why is the world still the same?

- Oh, I really hope that with talk of the Ascendant, they will bring Kai back! That would be awesome!

- Josie is looking older for some reason. More so than any of the other characters, with the exception of maybe MG.

- "You talkin' to your meat?" That sounds really dirty if taken the wrong way! LOL!

- I'd be really curious to know what Landon is doing by re-killing himself a la Mafia style!

- I would be SO impressed if that vortex in Malivore was the same one that was sucking up people when the Other Side was collapsing. I know it isn't but that would be really cool if it was!

- Josie and Landon? Lasie? Jondon? Either way, it could work though it will really fuck things up with Hope!

- Ohhhh!!! "Solid second place!" That's cold shit right there!


- That's rubbish. Josie cheating at chess? Rubbish!

- LOL! Breaking the fourth wall! "You're a montage!"

- I'll give credit....those are some freaky looking monsters!

- I hope that's not the end of Clarke. He has potential to be a great villain.

- It's an interesting point Josie makes about a phoenix quota.....there is no telling how many times Landon can come back to life.

- FUCKIN' A!!!! Are they going to bring Kai back?!? I hope so! DAMN, I HOPE SO!!!

- Wow! So the memories of Hope don't come back with her return. This is going to be interesting.

- Awwww! I felt bad for Hope watching her watch Landon and Josie make out.

- Fucking hell....Hope SERIOUSLY needs to get in touch with Freya or Rebekah. Have a heart-to-heart about what's going on in her life. Have them walk her through this experience because she can't do it alone. Damn it....they need to bring back either Freya or Rebekah for this season!

- What the fuck is that monster supposed to be?!? He looks like the Hulk's meth-addicted little brother!

Normally, I would be upset at yet another Julie Plec love triangle. But this time, I'm not. This felt far, far more organic and plausible. Lasie seems to work despite them getting together in all of one episode, but they did it well. And in many ways, it seems almost like a love square...with Raf, Hope, Landon and Josie. They surprised me last season with the writing so I will trust they will handle this love square rather well.

Still, I am hoping for cameos from TVD/TO alumni. They can't go another season with these teases. They just can't. Bring in Freya. Bring in Kai. Bring in Caroline.

Bring in somebody, damn it!
