The AMPire Diaries Episode 66: The Originals - “Dance Back From the Grave”
Remember when we used to talk about The Vampire Diaries? That’s right, this week, your favorite Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast is once again discussing The Originals. In fact, it’s The Originals’ “Dance Back From the Grave” (Season 1, Episode 12). Which means we’re of course talking:
- Angel the Vampire from The WB’s Angel.
- Papa Tunde.
- The return of Thierry and his hat.
- Who is Klaus’ speech inspiration?
- PAPA TUNDE.
- How REAL FRIENDS know when you’re possessed.
- Morgan’s version of song lyrics.
- A new Cami segment! Yay!
- Who… is Marcel’s dad?
- Papa.
- Tunde.
ALSO:
- This podcast episode is dedicated to Owiso Odera.
- Remember: We accidentally watched The Vampire Diaries’ “The Devil Inside” (Season 5, Episode 12) before this… which is why we have opinions on that episode. Don’t worry about it!
- No snakes were harmed in the recording of this podcast.
