Favorite scene: I think I speak for many of us when I say the best scene of this week’s episode was the goodbye scene between Cami and Kieran. I’m going to ignore the fact that he tried to kill her later (just like I’m still ignoring the HIMYM finale). The scene was so heartbreaking. Kieran was Cami’s last family member (I think) and to lose him exactly the way she lost her brother must have been horrible. She thought that because she knew what was going on this time around, that she’d be able to stop it. I like that he wanted to protect her from seeing him deteriorate. Too bad he didn’t know about the mark returning. I’m sure if he had, he would have taken his own life before he could hurt her.
Most badass scene: A few weeks ago I asked for more badass Hayley scenes, well I got it. She was mad enough to walk into a bar filled with vampires, kick Diego off his chair (which is my new favorite moment of the season) and stab him with a wooden stake (while still surrounded by vampires). I really thought Diego was toast here.
Best moment of friendship: I’m going to combine two friendships here. Considering the size of his ego, it must have taken a lot for Klaus to call Marcel. The fact that he knew Cami needed Marcel more than him was a huge step for him. Which brings me to Marcel and Cami. I love their friendship (with or without benefits). I’m glad she had him to lean on, since I guess Kieran was Marcel’s friend as well. I hope they can show more of their friendship, preferably without a romantic relationship (at least in the beginning). Also I'd like to give a little shoutout to the friendship between Cami and Josh. They were great this week.
Best quotes:
Kieran: “The city is full of monsters.” Josh: “Uh, yeah. Trust me, I know. Remind me to never piss off a witch.”
Elijah: “To our victory, brother.”
Josh: “Dude, be cool. He’s just a priest hexed by a witch. Accept that these things are real, then forget them. I mean later, you forget them later. Crap, ah! Ok, let me start over.”
So I’ve figured out what’s been off these past few episodes. It’s the dynamic between the siblings. I’m hoping it’s going to get better now that they are no longer fighting, but I miss Rebekah. When she was still around there were always at least two siblings united. The Originals is missing it’s female touch. Anyway, that’s it for “An Unblinking Death”. Check in again next week, I’m going to try to be a little earlier since I don’t have many classes (emphasis on try). Let me know in the comments what you thought of the episode.
