Klaus’ look was a perfect fit for the show, and though different from the comics, elements of the original Klaus were enough for me. The palm tattoos, the eye liner—Sheehan really sold us that Séance look, and I ate it up. And I think his personality was on point too on Afdah Info. He’s the jolliest of the Hargreeves siblings, possibly due to being high all the time, but he brings a much-needed light to an otherwise dark family. And what I loved about Sheehan’s Klaus is that when we were allowed to scratch the surface, we discovered another side to the character that we hadn’t witnessed before.
Hazel's bag propels him back in time, where he finds himself alongside the men fighting in the Vietnam War. There he meets Dave, his first love, who tragically dies from enemy fire a few months after they first met, causing Klaus to suffer yet another huge loss. Some of my best memories of Klaus are from when we watched him in private, lamenting the immense love he had known after the war. For Klaus, he had fallen in love with Dave while spending months in the trenches amid the dead. To his family, however, not a moment had gone, so when he returned, nobody could truly comprehend the pain he was feeling. For the show, it's yet another heartbreaker.
Ellen Page, the White Violinist, long before it was revealed that she would be playing Vanya. I was ecstatic to learn that she had been chosen to play my favorite Umbrella villain. During episode two, I did find myself waiting for her to turn white and become completely wicked, but looking back, I'm relieved that this didn't happen until later in the show. Though I can make do with what we got, I am still a little let down that she didn't adopt the White Violin's complete comic book appearance. And once again, I thought Page was the ideal option for the role. It was devastating to witness her as the abandoned Hargreeves child, especially when we saw flashbacks.
