**CAUTION** SPOILER ALERT This entry contains spoilers from The Originals 3x01 and The Vampire Diaries 7x01.
The first thing I did this morning when I got up was watching The Vampire Diaries. Exactly a week ago I finished the rerun of the previous six seasons and I was eager to see how the series would evolve without Nina Dobrev in the mix.
When the news hit that Nina had decided to quit TVD a lot of fans swore that they would quit watching, even though unlike in Grey's anatomy, it was Nina Dobrevs personal choice to leave. You can't force someone to do something they don't want people!
And sadly enough it seems that the (ex-)fans kept their word. The Vampire Diaries came in a lot lower than last year. (source: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/10/09/tv-ratings-thursday-oct-8-2015/477283/) And at the same time they seem to have punished The Originals too.
I can only say one thing to those people: "Your loss". Both premieres were just epic.
The Vampire Diaries started off with somewhat of a tribute to both Elena as to the original concept of the serie, people writing in their diary. Because lets face it, in the last 2 seasons, they didn't write much in their diaries anymore. Both Caroline and Bonnie are keeping their promise and are writing their experiences down in a diary.

In the beginning all seems fine until shit hits the fan and our dear vampires have no other choice than to evacuate their beloved Mystic Falls. The Heretics can't be controlled, so they decide to control the foodsupply of the heretics instead. Mystic Falls becomes a warzone.
The episode ends with a timejump of 3 years and someone is hunting the Salvatore brothers. By the way, what the hell was that with Damon being in a coffin? Did he think he could just sleep for 60'sh years?

I am very curious to the next episode. I think Nina was right, her story came to an end. Last 2 seasons had been a bit of drag. Sorry Nina fans. And now the serie can breath again, move into a new direction. The relationship between Stephan and Caroline can finally happen and the friendship that we saw hatching last season between Bonnie and Damon can now flourish.
I am certain that fans who abandoned the series will soon come to their senses and see that The Vampire Diaries is full of life still!

Now The Originals. I loved how they showed us more of the entire Original Family. Because let's face it, that's why we watch right? We cried when Claire Holt decided to leave the series, but lucky for us, she hasn't fully given up on the series. When we first heard the news, I thought that they might eventually scrub her character, but she is still Rebekkah when the story needs her.

I watched this episode together with my fiancé, and when they showed us when the family meets the Count we both said: "Make a series of this!" and then started laughing. Seems we both love the old days Mikaelson Family. Haha Although watching Joseph Morgan with a bad wig all the time. I think the series would turn into a comedy. The whole etire was a bit fail. But I loved every single second of it.

It was a huge contrast to when Elijah found those wolf hunters. The whole episode I feared that they had written Phoebe Tonkin out of the series. Even though I had seen her name in the begin credits. But in the end I was happy to see she was still alive. The question is now, will Devina find a cure for Hailey if Hailey scares the witches. Because that is what I assume will happen next.

There is also a huge spoiler in this whole universe. We know that the TVD vampires are still alive in 3 years and we also know that what happens in one series effects the other. Remember The Other Side? So when that witch fortells that by the end of the year all Mikaelsons will be dead. We know that it cannot be. Sorry if I just bursted your bubble. But the moment she said that I immediately remembered the "3 years later"

And then there is the pointing to a new evil in town. I am so looking forward to that.
Both series had a good start and they got me hooked for another season.
Thank you for visiting today, see you back tomorrow for more Series news.
