Colorspray posted:Has the season number/plot progression been keeping up with the books? From what I understand this story is amazing, but season 2 meandered around a bit too much to keep my interest. I think Dutch was a character made for TV and is here to stay. Also Nora killed herself with train tracks so I guess she doesn't name her child after Eph.

muscles like this? posted:I don't know if their plan is still this but what I read last year is that books 2 and 3 will take two seasons each. So this is the second part of book 2 and next season will be book 3 and the time skip. I hope they dont string it out for 10 seasons. 5 could round the series out and not let it run forever.

So the exploder vampire guys have little c4 bombs in them. Somehow I think c4 would be the wrong choice for the tactic of throwing worms on people. Are worms strong vs explosions?

I'm glad that next season is the last, they lost so many characters before the final act.

bull3964 posted: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. It wasn't that long he could of just said it over the radio.

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. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Oct 10, 2016 |

That was a good episode. And because I read spoilers for the books, I'm guessing the crate is a red herring. Just trying to connect how they get to the next part in one episode.

Palmer had a sad story of trying to connect with his father and showing his underdog upcoming. Like the story in the second Sin City, except his dad didn't kill him when he met him. So was he rich when he met the old man in that flash back or working at the college? Or was he able to walk with a cane after doing the wheelchair thing?
