Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

Me too, Ash. I understand there's news that there will be another season, yes?

That's good to hear.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

There was a lot in the finale that was total Buffy-logic for the narrative, which meant that there were a couple of developments that I called immediately ("oooh, she got scratched..."), but my BF, who is much more from the Classic Horror Films school, didn't pick up on as fast.

Really?

Interesting. Yes, I definitely see more truama in George's future - poor thing.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I wasn't entirely clear to me why the main vampire bad guy went to the hospital basement. Did I miss something?

I think it's because George paid him a visit and told him where the Mad Max deathmatch was supposed to take place. And I'm guessing George told him to show up in the hospital basement, instead of on the roof where Mitchell was. I'm also guessing that George didn't go see Head Bad Vampire Guy because Mitchell sent him. He was interfering to set the HBVG in a confined space where George'd have an advantage once he changed. (Why the HBVG just stood there and did the Evil Overlord speech instead of attacking while George was in the midst of the change is beyond me, though.)

Oh, that makes sense. I forgot he was the "messenger".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Herrick thought he'd win if he forced George to kill, by making him forsake the vaunted humanity. But since George considered he was doing it out of love for Mitchell, he thought it rather proof of humanity.

That makes sense, from a narrative point of view. But for Herrick to win he has to die. He never struck me as that selfless. He wants a revolution, but he wants to be in charge of it.
