I was so excited when they announced Claire Holt (Rebekah), Riley Voelkel (Freya), Charles Michael Davis (Marcel) and Nathaniel Buzolic (Kol) would be back in this episode. This season has definitely been much better than the previous ones so far, with Hope FINALLY activating her vampire side and such.
BUT, I gotta say the appearances of the OG Mikaelson family members was extremely disappointing. We only got a handful of scenes with them, only 1 with all of them (and about 2 lines from Kol!) and then the rest of the episode was about other stuff (not that the other storylines were bad they just had marketed this episode as a big TO reunion).
You can tell at this point that the network and producers etc. Can feel the viewers slipping away and so use these cameos to hype everyone back up. But this is purely fan service. If you want to properly do justice to these characters (and the actors behind them), give them a decent amount of screentime and use it to develop their characters further!!
Now I understand why others like Joseph Morgan have stated that they DO NOT want to be on Legacies. Just giving TO and TVD actors 3 minutes of nothing is in some ways worse than not having them at all. It's like a little tease without actually giving us what we want. They could have at least actually shown us Klaus' funeral that would've been something.
