This is one of those shows that is so bad, yet for some inexplicable reason I can't stop watching. The acting, the dialogue, and the characters (except ratman and Jew Helsing) all blow. The vampires, the lore, and the overarching storyline are probably all that has me coming back.

The scene where the virologist performs trauma surgery with a shrink-wrapped surgical kit that is conveniently available in some Chinatown warehouse has to be one of the dumbest moments on television, ever.

Why would an English major write a speech with "blowhard" and "bitch" in it?

This is inception. Shitty writers writing about shitty writing.

Am I the only one enjoying this?

I say "Occido Lumen" and strigoi about 20 times a day, because I like how they sound.

Naw I watch it weekly. Sure it has issues but I like the over all story and lore of the ancients etc.

Damn, we almost got some sweet tentacle porn. I am amazed that Guillermo would even try to tease something like that on regular television.

The depths of this annoying kid's stupidity after the second season finale has hit a record high, breaching levels untolerable to watch. I literally can't take it. I was raging. It's insulting to viewers, and to 10 year olds. Oh how the mighty have fallen, Mr. Toro.

The season finale was meaningless; a perfect ending to an aimless season. The writing got less derpy, acting got better, but the season really didn't go anywhere. We just watched 13 episodes of filler.

I stopped watching this in Season 1 after some very questionable plot points and the monsters doing the old trope of Deadly Assassin on tertiary characters but bumbling fuckups on killing main characters. Did this show get better? The only thing I recall finding interesting was the vampire death squad.

I liked Season 2 a lot. It was much better than S1. Follows the books fairly closely also.

I recommend catching up.

Good first episode.

This show tends to start strong, and then fades as the season goes. I'm kind of curious, if the Dr. is so important to Feraldo, then why she's not given him a couple of armed guards, especially since he's prone to wander off in unsafe places?

Well, the deal The Master is offering the Dr. is dumb too.

We want the book for your Son. Okay time to photocopy/take tons of images of that shit. Here you go boss, enjoy destroying it lul. Put it on the interwebs and see who can decipher it.

So apparently none of you all are watching this anymore. But its diverged quite heavily from the source material now. But still great effects and stuff.

I actually thought that was going to be the last episode as well, till the kid pulls off his asshat move. Someone needs to kill that kid already, never liked him since he was introduced, just an annoying little whiny bitch...but thanks to him, the triumph of humanity about to win goes down the shitter. No clue what next season will be like, don't even know how they can fight this anymore lol.

There's going to be a final season. The ending is pretty cool really and we will see the Vampire World. As it were.
