i wish hayley remains stuck with the curse.

hopefully no one would be able to help her get out of it atleast not in s 3.

Nita, Megha, agree on both what we hope for and the possibilities hoped against. :))

Even if Hayley remains stuck with the curse, the worse thing would be if they show Elijah playing her up as a saintly martyr unreasonably tormented by Klaus. Hoping that does not happen.when klaus was daggered to let hayley do whatever she wants with jackson then it is called noble. The twisted logic of original writers. Yes if they make hayley a saint i will be angry 😡it not like klaus did to a innocent person she did it first. He actually kept her alive but no one sees the truth. When did elijah and Rebecca become this stupid to not see why klaus does what klaus does. They keep looking for a way in which no one of their friends die and even there plans are stupid.

Love *both* the bromance and the brother-conflict, but not the brothers conflicting over a girl who considers Elijah as a distant second priority and a useful tool against Klaus.Elijah is head over heels with hayley. I hate it. He becoming more desperate to just do everything she says even it makes no sense.

If Elijah is to be bitter to Klaus, it should not be for Hayley.

And all of the people Klaus has wanted to kill - Davina, Jackson and most other potential threats, if Elijah and/or Rebekah had not prevented him - each of those people has proven multiple times that Klaus (and his sensitive siblings) would have been safer if Klaus had been allowed to be pragmatic.well they all love davina and this will be the reason they suffer in season 3 and even then they will Blame klaus as the reason davina hates them. So don't expect the people to stop blaming klaus for each and everything.

Hayley lives because of Elijah.

Davina lives because Marcel, Elijah and Rebekah consider her a child, unmindful of her danger to them being worse if they don't consider hurting her as an option.

Jackson has lived because Hayley wanted him, and Elijah wants Hayley to have anything Hayley wants - even when that want is to take his brother's child away permanently.
His response to "Klaus's child" was that "It's Hayley's child too". But by that logic, he should have reacted much less acceptingly to Hayley planning to take the child away - by Elijah's own logic expounded, the injustice to Klaus should have been clear.

I love Elijah, but the way the series has been showing his increasingly blinkered adoration of Hayley - to the point where he doesn't even dwell on her plan to take away his brother's child (Klaus's enemies could find Hayley and Hope anyway, but without Klaus there to effectively strategize) - is confounding.

Hopefully Hayley - in presence *and* mention - will be at a minimum, unless they are willing to stop thrusting the path of "Hayley should have whatever she wants, and anyone hurting Hayley in retaliation is unforgivable" for Elijah.

His anger about Gia being killed is understandable, but none of the siblings have been hesitant about endangering or killing off each other's pawns if necessary.

I have stragically avoided threads such as this one since i was yet to watch season 2 & i didnt want to read any spoilers here , but now that i am done with season 2 i decided to peek in here 😆 .. and wow , it seems most TO viewers are pro-Klaus , so i definitely am in minority .. may be its the TVD effect , i straightaway started watching TO , so there's that to consider but i find Klaus an insufferable whiny maniac monster who deserves to suffer , whatever little to negligible soft spot i have for Klaus is bcoz of Micheal , what Micheal did was monstrous , something which turned Klaus into the insufferable monster that he is now , other than that there is no way that i could ever sympathize with Klaus .. its been over a 1000 yrs & he is still clinging on to his daddy issues - somebody should tell him its time to move on.. 😆 .. i hate Elijah for not telling him that ..😆 ..Klaus has been coddled up for far too long .. good that Elijah has finally come to his senses & withdrew his support from this pathetic excuse for a brother ( however brief it may be 😆 ) , i liked it .. 😃

The season 2 climax - mixed feelings .. happy that hope was safe but the final scene with Klaus & Hope , where Klaus is reading her a bedtime story , i am sure that scene was meant to be a father-daughter reunion heart-warming scene , but it had the exact opposite effect on me , it was infuriating for me to watch Hope with him while Hope's mother is out there serving her punishment for ever daring to cross Klaus .. 🤢 .. i hope Hope grows up to hate Klaus ( highly unlikely ) , if not that Hope should somehow be separated from Klaus , that ought to teach him a lesson , well it wont , Klaus never learns his lessons , the only thing he will do is whine & then whine some more about how he is the one who was wronged 'always & forever' 🤢 but at least i ll have my satisfaction of seeing a heartbroken Klaus when Hope is taken away from him , oh the sadistic me .. 😆
