Ruddo!

last season July 17th


Season 4 picks up nine months later, with the world having fallen into darkness and the strigoi in control following the explosion at the end of Season 3 that triggered a global nuclear apocalypse. The resulting nuclear winter liberated the strigoi, allowing them to move about during daytime, and allowing the Master to establish a totalitarian regime. Preying on the fears of the populace, the Master and his minions have created an unsettling alliance in “The Partnership.” The majority of humans now are working for the strigoi, operating with a single understanding — collaborate or die.

Oh they're finally at the nuclear winter part? In the books that seemed so contrived, and I mean that in a "I read a lot of bad books" way.

The story itself is overall pretty good but the execution was kind of blah.

All of them. I don't like torture porn, but I wouldn't be averse to just watching every member of the cast submitted to saw style deaths in a documentary setting.

I'm glad Quinlan is still around. And I like that he is working with Fet. And was that Evangeline Lilly?! :luv:
