Vampire SWAT team was pretty badass. If the Nazi guy used to be human and now he's a vampire, was he created with a special process? Why couldn't the SWAT team take the Nanny's daughter and make her like them? Is it kind of a crapshoot who retains higher brain functions and who doesn't, so better not take any chances?

I was under the impression that the longer you're a vampire you'll regain more of your former cognitive abilities as well as the ability to latch on to subway trains. I haven't read the books though so I really don't know.

It hasn't been explained yet but I think it must be a special process. The old billionaire guy seems to know a lot about it and I'm assuming he wants to be one of the smart vampires and not the feral ones.

Oops I meant was this explained in the books or is it sort of like if you're important to the plot you become a smart zombievamp, but if you're a side character its fatal/you get killed for it. VVV Oh yeah, doy. I wonder if 2 vamps can infect one person and get a split personality Jekyl/Hyde thing goin on. I'm guessing: maybe. bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Aug 27, 2014 |

Setrakian said that the Master controls all the zombies he infects, so it stands to reason that the daughter was a lost cause because she was infected by one of the Master's zombies.

How can that be, when there is only one puppetmaster leech that grows to size? You saw them pull out that giant fuckoff worm from the pilot. Two worms aren't going to share a host.

I thought the tongue was just that - a weird tongue to infect people. I didn't know that was some sort of alpha worm. I thought those little silver worms were multiplying in people and reshaping their insides.

If I recall correctly (minorly, vaguely spoilerish only because I'm not gonna go into detail of where this happens unless asked), to be made into one of the smart vampires, you drink some of the blood and don't get the worms in you. A character at one point gets some of the wormless blood and experiences healing, so I'd imagine it's similar to traditional vampire stories in that they drink the blood of an elder vampire (with or without being brought to near death first) and gain their powers. Ya know who Vampire Swat Leader Mr. Quinlan reminds me of in a way? A cenobite. The pasty skin, black eyes and weird teeth. But mostly the black eyes. I hope they keep his backstory and go into that in the later seasons, because it's kinda nuts and awesome- his mother was a slave, infected by the master while pregnant sometime during Caligula's reign. He can't infect others, and can withstand some sunlight. He was trained as a gladiator, then a soldier, and refused to join the ancients because he wanted to destroy the Master. He met a woman and her daughter and they became a family, but the Master turned them so for like 2000 years he's been hoping to kill the Master. Thank you Kindle search feature. Apologies if this is too many spoilers, let me know if I should stop

Worms infect a host and begin the conversion process. What they dragged out of Redfern was his proboscis. The proboscis being the reproductive/infecting/feeding organ, not a giant one of the worms that carry the infection itself. I think what he's asking is, if the new vampires opposed to The Master are from different stock, what'd be the outcome if multiple vampire 'strains' infect a single host. From what we've seen and been told, there's a connection between master and offspring (The Master and his offspring, in this case). What, if anything, happens to a vampire when disconnected from its hive mind?

The tongue is just a tongue, not some weird alpha worm poo poo. The worms live in the "blood" of the host and feed on whenever the host does. God, haven't you people read the books! they're really not worth reading Truth Quark fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Aug 27, 2014 |

I haven't read the books though so I really don't know. From watching various vampire movies this what what I assumed as well, that the vampires are only crazy hunger-monsters when first turned and then later become more cool and collected, though having not read the books I could be wrong.

Can we reboot this show from episode one to have Vampire SWAT guy as the protagonist? Because holy poo poo was he absolutely... compelling, in a disturbing sort of way. Reminded me a lot of Jaime Murray's acting from Defiance, where she tried to mimic snake movements to convey an unsettling undertone of something alien instead of just a funny-colored human. Seriously, hats off to that actor; he pulled off a scene with loving rabbit teeth and still managed to come off as terrifying. Which should not be possible.

Gotta get those surprising cliffhanger endings or people will be like, "this show is boring." Or maybe they will do that anyway! But I'm actually really digging the slow pace. It's definitely picking up more and more, but I don't mind seeing 37 minutes of fairly interesting story stuff and 5 minutes of  Especially when it's always awesome. That last episode... goddamn.
