The Originals season 5: As the firstborns near the end, the stage is set for 'Legacies' to take off

Other than tying up all loose ends, the show is also setting the scene for 'Legacies', the next chapter in the life of these supernatural beings

It is a pretty sad time to be a fan of CW's 'The Originals', 'The Vampire Diaries' spinoff. Not just because it's coming to an end after such a successful run of five, really intense seasons but also because this season has been the best of them so far.

The last episode 'Till the Day I Die' had hinted at tragedy and it couldn't have been further from the truth. It suddenly dawns on you - the end is indeed near. As strange as it may sound, the Mikaelsons have been bouncing back from the dead for so long (literally thousands of years), deep down in your heart you sort of hope that things work out and they surprise us with another season. But that's wishful thinking of course.
