I'm sold on keeping an eye on it for now after watching the pilot. I've not read the books, but I can't believe no one at the airport had ever read "Dracula" They should have known there was a problem with the plane (ship) arrived with no one alive on board.
Well, there was a sign in the airport stating "Feb 12 Eclipse" The first date listed was Feb 8, and by the end of the episode it's Feb 9.
Generally liked it, but man it was a lot more cheesy than I thought it'd be. And the old guy who blinks sideways. They did that in the first Men In Black movie. My biggest complaint is that the characters do really DUMB things. But... I did like that wicked proboscis-appendage-thingie sucking that guy dry followed by the Master scuttling off... that was pretty cool.
LOVED the dialogue between the Nazi and Satrakian at the jail. Referring to him by his number and "Jew" was pretty badass.
The Vampire swat team was just bad ass last night.....will be intrigued to see how their story plays out..and why they are killing the infected.
Cool, I haven't read any of the books...so it's all new to me.
However, I will say that their take on the vampire myth IS one of the most original I can recall coming across so it's got that going for it.
