It took me a couple of episode to place Nonso Anozie from Game of Thrones. He has a great voice.

I don't love this or dislike it. I'll keep watching, but I know I wouldn't if JRM's wasn't in it. It also helps that this is such a weak crop of fall shows that I'm only watching three new ones and probably none of them will make it to a second season.

One...I never knew "sober companions" were real things. I thought it was completely made up for Elementary.

Two...I think I just watched a late 1800's version of Fight Club---set in a mud pit---with women. What The !@#$%^&*].

I just binge watched the first four episodes and I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know [!@#$%^&*] about Dracula's fictional history outside of being a vampire, so I'm hooked. I've also loved JRM since the movie Match Point so that may be part of my bias.

Jeez, could that blonde woman's boobs fall out of her dress any more? Renfield's back story was alright. I am surprised that they even bothered.

Ah, Mina, everyone is in love with you. RME. She is a nice girl albeit useless beyond being an object of desire. They could have had her unknowingly working with Van Helsing to cure Dracula's sunlight problem. Then we could get her growing suspicion and the tension of her finding out the truth on her own.

I love that Renfield is an intelligent man who has a genuine reason to be loyal to Dracula and that the loyalty goes both ways rather than Renfield just being a slavish freak who eats bugs, as is the typical portrayal.

Precisely. Why even bother having her studying medicine under Van Helsing at all if not to be involved with his Dracula experiments? They have to go there at some point.

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.  
    • And that is why western civilization is screwed up with organized religion. but thats for another board.
