This whole season teaches us about the dangers of procrastination. If the Mikaelsons did not dillydally with leaving New Orleans after retrieving Klaus, the Hollow would not have targeted Hope and the whole thing would have never have happened. There are more examples of how procrastination leads to the characters' failure and too much talking causes them to miss the only opportunity to fix things before they get irreparably worse.

Cut back to 13 episodes, Season 4 marks the beginning of the end for The Originals. The Mikaelson family rallies once again to save Klaus from Marcel, but when an ancient evil called the Hollow raises and forms a mystical link with Klaus’ daughter the Mikaelsons team up with Marcel and the leader of the New Orleans witches to defeat it. While the season arc is pretty strong it’s marred by a lesbian love story involving Freya; which plays more like Stockholm syndrome, as Freya abducts and chains up her future lover, holding her hostage and treating her as such for half the season. Also, the show’s getting a little repetitive and formulaic. Yet the writers continue to do a great job at creating tension and suspense, and the fight scenes are exciting and action-packed. Season 4 of The Originals has some problems, but it’s still entertaining and full of thrills.
