How does Dimitri even know that Vanessa is not with Scarlett?
And now they are following said low level vamp? Who the hell is the sisterhood and how could they follow a previous leader so weak and stupid that she would get herself killed by that low level vamp(can't remember his name, the 1 always screaming). I don't disagree, she is a breath of fresh air as far as the cast is concerned, but this does not bode well for Scarlett.Īlso, why are the vampires standing around it the afternoon without ill effects? I know they were in the woods but it didn't look all that sheltered from the sun. Who is "a treasure" according to Dimitri. This noxema sisterhood came out of nowhere and are apparently down with blindly following him in his quest to find Scarlett. It barely even feels like his storyline is happening in the same show.
I really, really hope they keep her in the cast because I am enjoying the dynamic she brings to the group. But if the vampires only want the fancy key then the whole gang is in trouble. I thought that Scarlett would have some worth or leverage even as a hostage if she was valuable in some way. I blame the darkness that the scene was shot in, I couldn't really tell what was going on. He was talking about the fancy key that Scarlett was hiding, not Scarlett herself.
I also realize upon review of episode 7 that I misinterpreted Dimitri's comment about a "treasure". I still find the cannibal episode of Torchwood to be creepy as hell and I must have watched it a decade ago. Especially when the cannibals kept referring to them as "juicy". I still find the thought of eating something that eats people as deeply unsettling. Yes, I guess on this show vampires are not undead so much "infected".
I thought the first series dealt very well with the duplicitous nature of survival, they group must work together, but everyone has their own angle, and their own secrets, It's a theme that the walking dead tries, and IMO fails miserably, to deal with.įorgive the pedantry but the vampires are still living creatures, they're just not human, so their flesh isn't necrotic, if they were eating zombies then that would be a different matter. Whatever faults this show has, it's much better at exploring the moral dichotomy at the heart of surviving a world changing event like The Rising. the fact that the vampires can potentially be turned back adds an extra dimension to the show, there's no moral dichotomy for the characters in the walking dead when they kill the zombies, but when these characters kill vampires, they're killing someone who could be turned back into a decent human being like Phil or Julius have been. The fact that they were making jerky out of necrotic tissue is for me, the grossest thing that the show has thrown at us so far.įorgive the pedantry but the vampires are still living creatures, they're just not human, so their flesh isn't necrotic, if they were eating zombies then that would be a different matter. Dimitri was held captive at the farm by the same people who now have Vanessa, so it's highly likely that he has some thing to do with their special powers. Maybe it's the same mountain that is above the clouds and hence deemed safe from vampires, we saw them sending out balloons in the first episode, and cannibal sheriff mentioned it again in the episode, so it has to have some relevance to the plot.ĭimitri is tracking Scarlet, presumably because he somehow knows Vanessa is no longer available, why he want's a van helsing isn't clear but they are the key to something, for some reason. Vanessa thought this base was located at the mountain painted on the nursery wall in the farm bunker. Vanessa is with the people who presumably created her in the first place, the shadowy company or govt department who ran 'the farm', the radioactive underground bunker where they were conducting vampire based experiments, and where Vanessa and Scarlet lived as young children, what their aim is isn't clear, probably either a solution to the vampire 'problem', or an attempt to create some sort of human vampire hybrid as a fast healing, extra strong super soldier, or maybe, even some original reason, who know.Įither way, this organisation is still functioning and has a secure base with men and infrastructure. Like who were those guys that took her? Where did they take her? Wheres Vanessa? While she has been annoying lately, an entire episode without her seems weird.
