Yes, I'm fully aware it's heavy on the cheese, but for some inexplicable reason, I've watched every episode so far. Unlike another franchise involving the undead, this show seems more comfortable embracing its cheesiness, so maybe that's a big reason why I keep coming back. I admit there's plenty to pick apart, but Fet and the old dude make up for it

I like the show, just for some reason never finished last season. Need to catch up before we start season 3.

Have it on record. First two seasons were great.

I watched the first few episodes but then it kinda got lost in my viewing (only so much time with a family). Is it good enough to go back and catch up on?

Yes. The pilot was pretty bad to me but it really turned it around.

Will watch at 12. I already miss Nora, not the character but Mia Maestro's hotness.

Pretty good start for the season. Nice tension, some cool kills, but unfortunately there's still Zach

Just started watching. I laughed when Setrakian said in the intro that it's been 23 days since the start of all this. Feels like it's been much longer

Yeah that's ridiculous. If it's been a week since the end of last season they seemed to have accomplished a lot.
Also could they stop having people stab them. How does Eph not get a worm after stabbing the thing in the stinger?
Finally they appeared to have just teased a strigoi suicide bomber. This show is something.

I'll watch for a while but this one is starting to feel like a lot of series where they are just moving the thing forward to see how long its popularity lasts and how they can squeeze every last dollar out. Have an ending planned and in sight. i could not finish The Americans for this very reason.

I haven't read the books, but wasn't each season supposed to be a loose interpretation of each book? If so, since there's 3 books, I'm guessing this could be the final season?

I read the books, the second book and the second season ended the same way. The Strigoi are ordered no to make any more strigoi and a year passes before the third book.

I watched it. I was wondering if there was a thread on it.

How did munchers get out of NY?
So if the bioweapon was working at 100% then 75%, why wouldnt eph get notified?
Why isn't eph in a better area for his work?
Why aren't anybody helping him?
Why aren't they using grenades on the big groups of munchers?
Why would electronics go out during the boss fight?
Why isn't old dude taking pictures and copying down the book? What if it was taken 5 minutes later and he only went through half?
Why did eph forget how to shoot?
Why do people allow gasoline to get in their mouth?
Why did they show the worms on the knife if there wasn't a point to it?
Why? Why? Why?

I could provide about 45 minutes worth of questions based on a 45 minute show. Enjoyed it though!

I hope they have more flashbacks of the Professor and Mr. Quinlan.
