What the Heck

[michaelrock · 1/10 · 23 October 2021]

The first episode for the show in season 1 has Elijah, Nicklaus and Rebekah arriving in New Orleans after escaping from Europe. Throughout seasons 1 and 2, even the first half of this season, we get flashbacks to their upbringing and early years in Norway, Denmark, France and one guesses the UK, given the Vikings being invaders. But this episode we are expected to believe they were originally from the state of VA. We know from the storyline their beginnings were in 900 AD.

How did did they originate in a state, even a country that didn't exist in 900AD? How did Dhalia take Freya to a country almost 4,000 miles away? Has this season shifted into some sort of parallel universe?

The show has a great storyline, but this episode is ruining it. I have to wonder what went through the minds of the writers.
