Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I've caught up. Sort of OK. The evil scientist group has a half a point with vampires. The mad homeless vampire woman kills two girls at the mall and she gets a hard slap? It seems like all the vampires are serial killers, no exceptions. If mean it is one thing to attend an AA meeting and say: "I drank a bottle of scotch last night but not I've got 12 hours back."
"I killed two girls last night but now I've got 12 hours back" does not have the same ring. Not that the Scientists aren't evil treacherous religious fanatics. But so far there has not been one case of a vampire we've seen who has avoided killing indefinitely. (Maybe the boy Mitchell turned, but I'm guessing he eventually kills his Mother.)
And Annie is written way to broadly. A lot of her bits are straight out bad sit-com material. I think she is acted well, but character is written to swing from tragic victim to over-eager social klutz to broad farce in way that is both irritating and unbelievable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm still watching. I guess I'm not enthralled, but I'm interested. I like George getting ragey rather than whiny, though I don't care for his insta-family gambit. It's just dumb, but not out of character. I don't care about the vampires as a whole, but I want to find out what happens to Mitchell personally. I don't mind Annie so much, but I'm not clear on what the point of her is. The ghost community she's sort of got now has potential - I really liked the guy who taught her how to close doors. The business with the doctor and the religious guy, I don't know, I'm reserving judgment for now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Weird. They were supposed to know by mid-august if they were doing a season two, but they've put off that decision.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They've extended the actors' contracts through November, I think, so they don't need to decide until then.

Huh. So then they'll have ratings for the first episodes of season 1.5 before they have to make the decision on season 2. Maybe that is their plan (and we all know how Cylons like plans).
