Less poo poo? The first season at least had the vampire outbreak going for it, and the various subplots of the airplane survivors.

Now it's just a slow, meandering mess that seems to take place outside the conventional space time reality. I mainly watch it to bitch about it at this point.

At least they remained consistent with young Trek's beard from how it was depicted initially. It's still a spirit gum bad-play comedy beard and it's wonderful.

Basically what I'm getting at here is if the show was just 50/50 Fet and Professor w/ Quinlan Understudy it'd be amazing.

Also Dutch is pretty cool I guess.

This was an amazing episode. Every week is absolutely cinema quality. I think it captures the character of the Apocalypse much better than Walking Dead. Can't wait for next week!

The impression I got is that he found a new body, otherwise the vamps wouldn't be able to do the stuff they did in this episode. It just hasn't been revealed to the viewers yet.

Usually that means it's an established character and he's been hiding in plain sight for a few episodes but this is not the kind of show that can pull off that twist and make it believable

I also thought it was kind of funny how Fet just threw Zach's book back on the ground for Eph to pick up. I mean, there was a crate right there in the hallway that he could have put it on.

There's also the fact that for Fet to get to that location, it was major quest fraught with peril.

Then Eph just strolls in after like 5 minutes.

Kevin Durand is in his mid 40s. Which is on the old side for his parents, the issue would be that they'd be super old for still being alive.

Who was that person he met in his office like in episode 2 or something? Like this is a character hiding in plain site.

You know I hate to say it, but this series basically starts off like Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Did you watch the show? It's mentioned like five times, it's his grandfather the flashbacks are about. His father (the grandfather's son) turned to academics and changed his last name to escape the family shame.


In other news, another great episode from an amazing show.

Can't wait for next week!

If you look at the timestamps of their posts, you can see it was from before the revealed it was his grandfather.

I like Fett as much as the next person but really, waiting til Season three to suddenly care about his parents? I know the storyline says it's just been a short time but for the viewer it's been years.

I thought the most notable thing about the episode was Setrakian actually showing some human compassion towards one of his comrades in arms instead of the monomanical focus on THE LUMEN he's been showing all season. Usually he's been very "NO TIME FOR CARING, GOTTA READ THIS BOOK!"

Holocaust survivor guilt is the only way to get Setrakian to open up.

That's a very good point. They are both similar: determined, adaptable and friggin deadly. Maybe he sees Fett as his natural heir to the monster hunting mantle. I bet David Bradley was relieved to play something different to his usual.

Yeah, I know they said it was only three weeks at the beginning of the season and then, and then there was a random month jump after Bolivar was killed. Come to think of it though, where's the mayor? Was he killed off screen or something?
