The AMPire Diaries Episode 121: The Originals - “Exquisite Corpse”

This BODY is INCREDIBLE? NUH. This CORPSE is EXQUISITE. Yeah. That’s more like it. (And yes, I realized after the fact that this bit fits the Drake “Hotline Bling” meme. Sorry for that unintentional corniness. I was actually originally going for The Social Network corniness.) The second season of The Originals really is cooking with propane. That’s because, this week, your favorite Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and still mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast is discussing The Originals’ “Exquisite Corpse” (Season 2, Episode 17). Which means we’re talking:

- …for 8 and a half minutes (and this is the ABRIDGED version) about things that AREN’T TVDU-related in the intro, in case you wanna skip some dog co-host and movie etiquette talk.

- Ex​quisite Corpse, a signature scent.

- P.S. LaToya had some audio issues in this one–mostly resolved in the edit–but there are moments when she’s not as clear as she usually would be on mic.

- Women’s rights and women’s wrongs, as exemplified by Freya Mikaelson and Eva Sinclair.

- What GOOD sexpionage looks like, STEVE. Here’s that sexy Bonnie and Clyde shit we were looking for.

- Ya gotta watch Blindspot, gang. Ya just gotta.

- We just know that Claire still won’t sign SHIT. God love her.

- The lack of urgency we’ve been dealing with from the Mikaelsons lately… it’s because Klaus simply hasn’t been paying attention to this season. (Couldn’t be us.)

- Is Marcel being a bad dad or a cool (aka “badd”) dad?

- Look, you’ll never catch your AMPie Queens ending up in a horror movie.

- The Magic Limbo.

- Hayley… We love you, girl… But you’ve gotta stop being such a bitca to other women. (But also, never stop. It’s really funny..)

“CONTROLLING THE DEMON” (“Exquisite Corpse”... and wow, I guess that means we really should’ve listened to the episode’s voiceover more than we did…)
