Damn it, show. :(
Major spoilers up to episode 10 behind the cut.
I like character death, but you overdid it, show. Not Josh, ok, not my sweet, brave, loyal Josh. *cries*
First Hayley, then Lisina and Ivy and Josh in one episode. And I hated the way Hayley died. Or maybe not really the way she died, I like the whole "sacrificing your life to save your loved ones" thing. But I hate that she was only in the 1st episode, and then showed up in episode 6 just to die. Still I cried a lot when Klaus called her "little wolf" later.
But at least I was spoiled for her death. And I liked Lisina and Ivy very much, but they were new. I was completely unprepared for Josh’s death. Josh was here since the 1st season and I loved him since his first moment. And it was great to watch him becoming this confident, responsible leader.
I was so pissed at first when he died. But then Aiden showed up, and they kissed, and I had a good cry, and I guess Josh is happy now, so I forgive you, show. For now. Although I’m still very sad about it.
A few more random thoughts below.
I love the contrast between Klaus who wants everybody to fear him, because he’s afraid that, without people fearing him, he’s nothing, and Hope, who wants everybody to stop fearing her.
That talk between Klaus and Vincent in the end of episode 4 – shiver inducing. I love Vincent so much and to see him refuse Klaus was wonderful. Although that moment after Klaus is gone when Vincent lets out that relieved sigh - it shows how much he was scared. Yusuf Gatewood is a great actor and he’s so beautiful, I could stare at him for hours. I even wanted to watch Good Omens just for him, but that show bored me and I gave up after one episode.
I love the friendship between Freya and Vincent so much. And I love Freya/Keelin.
I was underwhelmed by the villains. Greta was annoying instead of frightening. And Emmett was super boring.
I wasn’t very fond of Elijah who didn’t care for Klaus, Hayley, Hope and the rest of the Mikaelsons. I was very glad when his memories were finally back. And I love all the angst it brought. :)

I liked Freya/Keelin in the beginning, but then Freya kept pushing Keelin away for stupid reasons that felt like manufactured drama - especially when compared to all the REAL drama these characters face daily. I felt like Keelin deserved better.
Elijah getting his memories back was major angst, and Daniel Gillies played it so well.
I really missed Cami this season.

Ah, yes, I think that Keelin has patience of a saint when it comes to Freya’s insecurities. :) And it did feel like manufactured drama to me, too, when Freya pushed Keeling away again on their wedding day. But I guess I didn’t really mind that much, because the conflict was almost instantly resolved. And maybe a little because it was a final season and I just wanted all of them to be happy. :)
I really missed Cami this season.
Me, too. I watched the finale yesterday and I was so happy when she appeared even if only for a few minutes. And I’m still all !!!!!!!! about the finale, it was such an emotional ride. I will post my thoughts later today, after making them more readable. Right now it’s just a lot of exclamations marks and crying emoji. :)
