The Originals Season 5 Episode 13 – TV Review

Come for the Camille, stay for the bizarre slap in the face to fans that this pathetic excuse for a series finale turns out to be.
Much like last episode, I would be hesitant to call this episode, and series finale, a trainwreck. Because trainwrecks are actually exciting.
If I had to distill The Originals series finale down to one word (and this is the Internet, baby. Distilling complex ideas into clickbaity, list format is the name of the game), it would be “meh.”
And “meh” is not how I want to feel about the finale of what once was the best vampire soap opera on the CW.
Even the TVD finale wasn’t meh (it wasn’t good, either. But you know).
It makes me wonder how much of a garbage dump the Legacies finale will be. And by “finale,” I mean at the end of the first season. Do you really think that it’ll be renewed?

The overalls are a bit much, though, Keelin. Calm down.

Freya finally takes my advice and fucks off Finn to side with better Originals.
Even Mikael.
But not Esther. Nobody wants Esther.

Josh and Aiden are even boyfriend official, now.
Seriously, TVD. You need to pick it up.
At least give Kai someone to mack on. We all know he’s fabulous.

I’m sorry, you’ll have to excuse me while I clean myself up.
And then go again, and then clean myself up again.

It’s fierce competition.
Just in case Esther’s evilness was too ambiguous for you, this episode she advocates for the mass murder of humans, performed by child werewolves to activate their curses. In order to grow her army, of course,
Does Esther still believe she’s the good guy?

Now that the Esther cat is out of the bag, where do we go from here?
A passive aggressive dinner, of course.
Like, duh.

I was worried the The Originals would use Kol, Finn, and Esther’s current incarnations as a way to weasel around booking their original actors.
This is a good start in laying that concern to rest.
