Share your reactions to tonight’s The Vampire Diaries spinoff episode, titled “The Originals,” which launched the Klaus-centric spinoff!

The Vampire Diaries aired the backdoor pilot to the (hopefully) upcoming new spinoff series The Originals tonight. Did you love it as much as we did?

The Vampire Diaries spinoff saw Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) go to New Orleans where they met Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), Klaus’ former protegé and self-proclaimed king of the city’s supernatural underground.

We also met a number of other new characters, who will be regulars on the new spinoff if it’s picked up by The CW for the fall season.

Next week we’re back in Mystic Falls for the episode “She’s Come Undone.” Check out the promo for the episode:

The synopsis for this episode reads:

LET’S MAKE A DEAL — Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) try a brutal new approach to provoke Elena (Nina Dobrev) into turning her humanity back on, and Caroline (Candice Accola) is frustrated when her attempt to intervene backfires. When Elena figures out a way to call the Salvatore brothers’ bluff, they call for backup from a surprising source. Matt (Zach Roerig) gives Rebekah (Claire Holt) some unsolicited advice on her life choices, and she tries to help him in return. Caroline has a confusing and dangerous encounter with Klaus (Joseph Morgan), and Katherine (Nina Dobrev) is suspicious when Bonnie (Kat Graham) makes her an offer that she promises will benefit them both.

Will you be watching ‘The Originals’ if it’s picked up for a full season?

The Vampire Diaries 4×21 “She’s Come Undone” airs Thursday at 8/7c on The CW.
