Can the Hollow even be killed? They seemed to have tried everything now. I was just waiting for her to possess Hope and surely enough, she did. So now she's a super witch, oh goodie!
Two episodes left, my guess is they exorcist that bitch out of Hope and then Hayley packs up and leaves town with her for good.

That wouldn't really work. What would happen next season if Haley & Hope were gone? I read somewhere this morning that Hope 'might' be going to Alaric & Caroline's school for 'gifted witches/children'.

You're right, I forgot about that. I was just thinking about what she said when she was sitting on the pier, she was probably contemplating leaving New Orleans. But yeah, they always come back, if they leave at all.

I think Hope will be attending Alaric and Caroline's school. Why else would they bother to have Alaric make a guest appearance? And I'm sure they will do everything possible to bring Caroline in to attract TVD viewers and Klaroline shippers. I'm almost positive Candice King will be making at least a guest appearance next season. There's been some buzz about Caroline lately and Candice recently dyed her hair blonde again (it was brown after the TVD finale).

I guess we were both right 😄
Since we're such fortune tellers, any ideas for next season? My guess is that Hope will have finished school and is strong enough to help bring the family back together again. Elijah comes strolling in like a vagabond, does card tricks and likes Ingmar Bergman movies 👍

Well I know what I do not want to happen:
NO, NO, NO Klaus & Caroline
No extreme time jump
No Davina (or Kol, unless it's to put him down for good)
I'm not a big Elijah fan (it's more to do with the actor, too wooden), but I believe that Haley & Elijah belong together. The whole 'oh no Elijah is a batterer' cr*p is a bunch of PC nonsense. Since Haley didn't exist in the timeline that showed her and Elijah fighting (it was in his head by the way, NOT REAL), how is having them together 'enabling abuse'?
I also wish that Plec would take a flying leap off a really high cliff.
Since Elijah is in France I think he would come back with a preference for Melville or Cocteau?

They have to come up with a greater adversary for them to fight against so I understand coming up with this Hallow storyline.

Agreed, I'm very picky when it comes to who captures Klaus' heart and she's not for him. I liked Cam, she grounded him.
I don't like it, but I can see it happening, sorry. They did five years to let Hope grow into her ponytails and I suspect they will do it again just to let us see how the siblings has grown apart/Hope has evolved.
Omg no Davina, please no. Why on earth they insist on bringing her back I cannot understand, and why Kol would sacrifice arm and foot for her is beyond me. I wish them well in a tropical paradise far from New Orleans.
I'll bet you the moon that Daniel Gillies feels the same way, that he wants to put more life into Elijah. He was raised in New Zealand and I've seen him in Saving Hope, he's anything but wooden 😊 yes they belong together because underneath that cold surface I believe that no other man can love her like he does.
Maybe we should give it a go, send in a chapter and they'll see how good it is and fire her.
At first I thought of Jacques Tati because I love his movies, but then I imagined Elijah watching The Seventh Seal, seeing himself playing chess with the Grim Reaper. I don't know why but I liked that image.

Jana, I chose Melville & Cocteau mainly for their 'tragic protagonists'.
I also left out one other thing, since this will probably be the last season, I want at least 20 episodes.
I have seen him on Saving Hope and yes he was a bit more animated but not much and as for Klaus (wasn't a big fan of Cami, too prissy), why can't he be unattached? Why do writers (movies & TV) think that EVERYBODY has to be paired up with someone?
I never watched TVD (maybe one episode), to me it was too 'teen-centric' (like Twilight). I started watching TO in the 2nd or 3rd episode of the 1st season and except for Davina & the 'Harvest Girls, it has been pretty much skewed to 'older' (25+) viewers?

At least! So much to do, so little time!
You're absolutely right, I don't mind Klaus being the eternal bachelor, as a matter of fact it suits him. To be honest it would be weird seeing him settling down with a wifey and the whole shebang.
I watched a few episodes of TVD and like you I thought it was made for tweens and not for me. The Originals suited me better by far. I'm 43 but those who know me would argue that I will never grow up to be older than 30 so I guess you're right about the targeted viewers 😊
But hey, let's not fret about this now, there's other shows to watch while waiting. Penny Dreadful, Being Human, Bitten, Teen Wolf (it's actually pretty good), Heartless, Hemlock Grove. I hope you've got Netflix because summer is covered 👍

Why all the Julie Plec hate? What did she do to the show... or is it something she's planning to do to the show?

For me season 4 was a disappointment, I was almost expecting Vincent to call Sam and Dean Winchester and say "so there's this annoying spirit..." I was ok with the whole witch theme, it was time. You could tell they wanted the focus to be on Hope, but they could have done it better. It was lazy writing, not at all up to par with the other seasons. And, this is going to sound weird, it wasn't as believable.

I heard today that TO will not be back until 2018 and probably with only 13 episodes. Crap!

I do not approve of this. Something huge is going to happen that they will wrap up with something completely implausible OR the classic ending, that they did recently, where the ones that are still standing each get a closing scene. If they add voiceover I will throw something.
