Dracula

[Dipsydoodle]

Anyone tuning in tonight? I'm quite excited!

I’m assuming he was regenerating in his box of special dirt (Buffy reference for you there 😜) for 100-odd years.

God knows what’s going on with Agatha, maybe she’s immortal too? Or the two crewmen made it to Whitby and told their story to make sure they knew to wait for him.

So basically he's been asleep underwater for several years and vampire Agatha is now a policewoman in the modern day??

The undead deal hasn't been clarified has it? She must be the undead Agatha, rather than a descendant? Did Dracula just forget to set his alarm?

Because she's a nun she's a good vampire!

Loving it. Makes a change from run of the mill period or cop drama.

I think Agatha didn’t die as she turned into a vampire. Dracula has been regenerating in the box for a couple of hundred years (underwater maybe slowed it down?). Then the two sailors who escaped made it to shore and told the story and that’s why they knew he was coming. Agatha vampire has been waiting for him and got a job in the police so she could be his welcome party.

That was great, loving it and fingers crossed tomorrow will be as good.

The young lad killed by his mother was meant to go on the ship, but Dracula obviously got hungry before the voyage. The other boy pretended to be him as he wanted to go to sea. He didn't know how the other boy had been killed.

No answers on the chess game.

I was gripped throughout. Really loving it!

Re the chess game, Agatha said that Dracula can make his victims dream while he feeds on them, so it was all in her head.

The chess game was just in her head. Or, well, an illusion put there by Dracula or as a result of the blood loss and his weird mind games. In reality she has been captured, taken on the ship and was in cabin 9 the whole time.

The mother staked her son to stop him rising again. He was meant to be going on the ship but then Piotr took his place

Looks like we finally get Lucy in tomorrow’s episode too.

Why did it show the young lads mother driving a stake through her sons heart when he seemed to get away in the lifeboat?

2 different boys. The mother killed her son, Piotr. The other boy, who is really called Marius, was watching and decided it was his, i.e.'s Marius' opportunity to leave home But the ship was expecting a Piotr to sign on, so he used that name. At the end he owns up to being Marius

The chess game was a dream/Dracula inside Agatha's head.

The chess game was going on in their heads I think, she was in room 9 and playing chess with him, but in their heads iykwim.

My brain hurts. Preferred last night’s episode but this is still a good watch. When she could hear footsteps on the ship I had my blanket pulled up over my eyes as I couldn’t stand the tension!!

However, hard to accept that the ship’s captain would have survived the bite of a vampire. Drac really seems fairly efficient at dispatching people!

He didn't drink the captain's blood though, just fatally wounded him, so he could have stayed alive for a bit.

I was really looking forward to this. I have to say I've not enjoyed it at all. Portals to Hell was more entertaining tonight over on ''Really''.

I loved it. Both episodes have been great. Everything that makes you go 'what the fuck??' gets paid off.

But I’m sure Marius is undead too. He had a scarf tied round his neck and there’s no way Dracula would have let him get away.

Isn’t it possible that you can be undead but not a vampire, if you’ve been killed by Dracula but not killed and drunk human blood yourself?? I think Agatha is undead but not a vampire.

I thought he did drink the captain's blood. He said he "bolted him" so maybe it was so quick it didn't kill him. Bit tenuous. Living this though. Helicopter search lights a brilliant twist.

Why did Dracula let Mina escape?

Jonathan was only sort of a vampire wasn't he? Could Agatha be a vampire but one who doesn't have to feed or who can feed on animals, like the twilight vampires?

Yes codenamevillanelle I think you can be undead but not a vampire.
