It was really good! I need to ponder since I'm really sleepy though. But feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments. and I'll pick it up tomorrow.


I'm wondering if she really is a vampire anymore? Did what happen in the fire change her somehow? The other niggling thought I had, was that Josef was hiding something. Would he stand back and let her mess with Mick? We still know so little of the dynamics between the vampire characters. I can't wait to see where they go with this next.

And I had thought Beth had remembered Mick from when she was a child. I was surprised to find out she hadn't.

This show really has gotten so much better! I'm actually looking forward to it each week now :)

It was good but I think it should have had a different ending......

I think that the woman should not have been his ex. Josef says to Mick that at some point, Mick needs to come to terms with his vampirism. This episode would have been a good 'stage setter' for that since the viewer could see how out of control Mick acted. And, if the girl was just a girl, the viewer was getting the "whoa, Mick's got some serious issues there". So, IMO, the story should have ended with Mick going to Joseph and saying "I'd like to talk with you". And then, the episode could have ended with the shutting of Joseph's door or something like that.

By keeping the ex as the ex, Mick can stay in denial of coming to terms with his vampire self because hey, in this instance, even though he acted wildly, he was 'right' in the end.

I've seen many storylines like the one they did last night with other vampires series but if they did it without the last scene, that would have really been original.

I also didn't like the fact that the ex was now human since that idea does set the stage for Mick to be able to possibly become human again. And philosophically, I dislike the idea of vampire = bad, human = good, because not all vamps are bad and not all humans are good.

Also, that Beth remembering thing keeps going back and forth (she remembers, she forgets). You are correct. She should have remembered it. But I think the writers are unsure of that idea so they keep changing it.

PS--Sorry I'm so wordy/ranty but that episode bothered me for those things.
