The Vampire Diaries was never intended to be a period drama, and no one expected it to be historically accurate. However, since the main characters of the series are vampires who can technically live forever, it was clear from the very first season that the chronology of events would not be limited to modern times.
At first, flashbacks showed viewers the Salvatore brothers' youth in the 19th century, but then the Originals, who were several hundred years old, were introduced into the story. Fans were sent back to very ancient times, and the historical inaccuracies made by the writers could no longer be ignored.
Why Were All The Mikaelsons Were Single?
We don’t know the Mikaelsons’ exact ages, but some calculations still can be made. Thus, we can conclude that all members of the Mikaelson family were between 16 and 27 years old at the time of them being turned into vampires.

The presence of a camera changes things. Trained actors aside, most people are uncomfortable enough with the knowledge that there’s a lens in their face that they’ll change their behavior in turn. Ghosts, meanwhile, observe without being noticed, with only a few sensitive souls able to discern them at all. Steven Soderbergh’s latest cinematic experiment conflates the two, filming a haunted house story from the perspective of the spirit.
Ghosts are tied to a location, and so is “Presence.” The film takes place entirely within the confines of a handsome, century-old home — the furthest the characters get is the driveway, which the camera observes anxiously through a window like a dog awaiting its family’s return. The film unfolds in a series of single takes, which follow characters through the house and watch them from the closets and corners of various rooms. When an object floats across the room,...

For a prolific artist, a surge of creativity can often be synonymous with a dip in quality. Though not if you are Steven Soderbergh. He’s only continued to reinvent himself and forge ahead with new technology, subjects, and structural gambles. His latest film, Presence, is a haunting ghost tale wrapped in a nuanced family drama, and one of his most formally ambitious attempts yet. What if the camera, operated by Peter Andrews (aka Soderbergh), was the ghost? And every single shot in the film was a single take from this perspective? And, to further add to the self-imposed constraints, the ghost never leaves the house? From the very first shot, as we see the presence rapidly move through every room in the yet-to-be-sold empty house, laying the foundation for the horrors to take place, one senses Soderbergh is having a total blast with this concept.
