To me, Guillermo del Toro's films are visually fantastic, but plot and character wise, they fall short. So I probably won't be watching this one.

 

Yes, looking forward to it!

Seems as if it's going to be about the VA (vampire apocalypse) rather than the ZA. Has anyone read the novels or comics? I have not, so I have no idea what to expect other than the little bits of info I've read in preview articles.

 

I'm going to give it a try. Sundays are so packed now. The Leftovers, Falling Skies, The Strain, The Last Ship [The Last Ship is borderline ]. Other than seeing a few ads during commercials, I haven't really researched anything about this show, so I'm going to go into it basically knowing nothing, and see where it takes me.

 

So...that was pretty good. It didn't pull me in immediately, but it got interesting by the end. I like the way it reimagined Dracula's journey by ship from Transylvania with his boxes of earth. I also like the Van Helsing-like character played by David Bradley. I'll keep watching to see where it goes.

 

I watched it and liked it. It looks like it might have potential. Was slow for me when introducing the CDC guy at the counselors office but got better.

 

What's with the unhappy marriages in all these shows? CDC guy has problems with his wife in the Strain. Rick on TWD had problems with his wife. The sheriff on The Leftovers has problems with his wife (she left him and joined cult). Is this the stereotype that has to be added to every show?

 

I think its actually more refreshing than seeing a happy sappy marriage lol.

This show was interesting. Glad to see Walder Frey is in the mix.

 

It took me the longest time to figure out where I saw that guy before.

Now tell me why the one wife ran off to join the weird creepy cult ?

 

I can tell you, but only after you agree to chop down a large tree with your bare hands, take a vow of silence, give up your old life and all its possessions, and eat nothing but butt flavored porridge.

 

Only if you also tell me why the cult people insist on smoking and not talking.

 

There is something regarding 'breath' surrounding that cult. They held up signs saying 'don't waste your breath', which seemed to me more than just trying to tell them the parade was a waste of time. It was about using your breath while talking, maybe? Maybe the smoking ties into that. We'll see as time go on....

 

Started slowly, but by pilot's end, wife & l were pretty engaged. Its like the Freddie Krueger of TV shows, bastard son of a thousand genres: you can see the Walking Dead, X-Files, Outbreak, Species, etc etc. We shall see.

 

Wasn't really good or bad.

 

Not bad, not bad. I'll give it a couple more weeks before I decide to keep on or drop it. Hope it's over by October, cause I don't have a DVR and once TWD is back all other shows are gone to me.

 

it was okay. ill keep watching and see where it goes. from all the promos for the last few months i was honestly expecting a bit more.. but like i said it was interesting enough to keep watching.
