The Originals?

[thistlechaser]

Does anyone happen to watch The Originals? I caught a few episodes on TV (it's on before or after something else I watch), but I might have gotten a mistaken impression about the show. I know it's a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries, but I had thought it was about werewolves. I needed something to watch, spotted it on Netflix, and decided to check it out from the beginning.

Darned thing is full of vampires.

It may seem overly picky, but I like werewolves and dislike vampires. While the show is both pretty and full of pretty people, if it's only about vampires, then I'm not going to stick with it. There's some werewolf? half-werewolf? carrying a vampire's baby, but that's not much werewolf in a world of vampires.

The witches seem kind of cool though.

Does anyone on my friends list happen to watch it?

I took a gander at the characters list on Wikipedia; it's chock-full of spoilers, but I don't watch this show so I don't care. :) But anyway!

It appears to be a show about a vampire/werewolf hybrid and a whole lot of vampires, with maybe one other full werewolf, plus some witches and humans. So if you're looking for a show about werewolves per se, it'd kinda be like going to GarouMUSH looking for Vampire or Mage roleplay -- it can exist, but it's not really the focus of the game.

Hope this helps! :)

Thanks! I did some googling, but I didn't want to google too deeply and risk spoilers.

Blah! I'm tempted to maybe stick with it anyway, because it is quite pretty to look at even if I find vampires the most silly thing ever. I used to be indifferent about them, then Twilight came alone and pushed it into dislike.
