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

Edit - nvm, that isn't her.

I haven't watched yet, but she is a terrible actress. She'll fit right in.

No, i was totally comfortable reading what happened. I got distracted for a second and read that forgetting what thread i was in. Heck, even after I realized it took me a solid 15 seconds to remember who the hell Quinlan was.

You have to see this season through, Skitch. Do it for all of us. It is the last season, after all.

I watched. Not as terrible as I was expecting. Are Setrakian and the blond still alive?

Any show that puts Rhona Mitra is on the screen is a good thing.

No but when you have 10 episodes, splitting everyone up really is cutting it close. I know why the russian and Quilan are looking for the nuke, it's the only story line following from the book still. They basically gave nora's story line to Dutch though.
Spoiler: show
And Setrakian was dead by the last book anyway

I'm pretty sure Sertrakian will bite it on the show before the end. Somewhere in the flashbacks or the final episode. He'll somehow get the Master back into exile/sleep/whatever. They'll "end" it as far as strigoi being around, but I'm sure there will be some end scene that leaves things open-ended.
