Though there are already two versions of the first episode of The CW's newest series, "The Originals," -- the backdoor pilot that aired in April as an episode of "The Vampire Diaries" and the extended cut released online -- get ready to see the story of the pilot re-told all over again. "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff's first installment is being re-shot from the point of view of Elijah (Daniel Gillies), executive producer Julie Plec and star Leah Pipes revealed.
"We're re-filming the pilot from Elijah's persepective. You get to see what was happening around what you already saw in the pilot which is really interesting," Pipes, who plays human psychology student Camille, told Zap2it. "That's going to be the first episode that airs. It's going to be the extended cut, from a new perspective. And then we jump about a month ahead in the next episode."

I disagree. That's not interesting. We already know what happens. :/
ReplyDeleteThe notion that anyone who isn't familiar with the characters or TVD is going to watch is slightly ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteBut even if they thought that, why on earth would you change the perspective to a supporting cast member for an episode you think will be somebodies first? Don't you think it will be a little jarring to find out that Klaus is all of the sudden the focus in Episode 2?
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and admit I was wrong. When I first learned that episode 1 would be a "re-telling" of the backdoor pilot, I was pissed. However, my feelings on this have changed. I was so impressed with how they used Elijah in the backdoor pilot that I have no problem seeing these events again from his POV.
