Ratings were good enough, I guess. I haven't watched since the pilot.

No one acts like even a stupid person would act.

- they turn off the Internet for days (yeah right) but the NYSE and Nasdaq don't seem to miss a beat. They could have killed the grid and I would have bought it but this was stupid.

- little girl returns home all dead-like and dad doesn't go "I'm so glad to see you but you look sick - let's go to the doctor now!"

- rock star manager sees long 5-foot tongue eating doctor but doesn't call anyone

- they get attacked by dead-ish people shooting 5-foot tongues out of their mouth and woman is distraught about "killing people"

- rat guy gets attacked by sewer people but doesn't call anyone

- CDC guy has parasites in box that he carries around but doesn't call anyone

- they try to help an infected guy who attacks them with a 5-foot tongue but instead of calling someone they think it better to do a secret autopsy in the basement

- dead people attack others in public with 5-foot tongues but everyone seems to forget the next episode -- no one is called not the media, police, or health inspector

This is one of the stupidest television shows ever made.

This show and I had to break up.

Why Not? · 08-21-2014, 10:08 PM

Different faction. Technically they are not the rebel.

Kind of like the old series Kindred.

The book starts out ten times slower than the series.

But basically the Vampire covenant is pissed what the one vampire is doing. These are their clean up crews.

It will keep getting better, and I am sure will take liberties and alter it some.

Silock · 08-25-2014, 09:01 PM

Okay, that last episode pulled me back in.

Vaguely, but that is with most people with no nose wearing a cloak.

Funny story, I read last month that there was suppose to be a sequel to masters of the universe. But Lundgren hated how the first one turned out so much he said **** off. Thankfully they could not find another person to be he-man.

Man that that movie sucked balls.

Valiant · 08-26-2014, 08:03 AM

That I do not remember.

The books were very descriptive of the main vampire. Skin being translucent to see the underneath. no nose and such. Been a few years since I read it.

Finally caught up. Tuco has some advice for some of the dumbassary in the last episode. If you are going to shoot...shoot...don't talk.
