That's consistent with existing hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola. They burn out quickly once the proper precautions around the sick and dead are put in place.

Elemental chlorine is probably lethal to all the Votans we've seen (as well as humans). It's nasty stuff, so reactive that it's not found in nature in that form. I don't think it was meant as a specific Irathient susceptibility. More likely it was just meant to illustrate Casti cruelty.

@disqus_okgItcD0yy:disqus Good points. Especially with the way the Defiance back story has been described, with a significant period of diplomatic relations before the Pale Wars, it would have been quite possible for the Votans to quietly exacerbate existing divisions between human nations. For example, selectively…

This was among Ronald Reagan's suggestions for how the cold war might be ended: "At our meeting in Geneva, the U.S. President said that if the earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials, the United States and the Soviet Union would join forces to repel such an invasion. I shall not dispute the hypothesis, though I…

Seriously, she is doing so much with so little!

Since 50% of early Enterprise had the plot of

If they were on the same network they could do crossovers. "Dexter Morgan, Vampire Hunter". Sam and Angel could exchange tips on restaurant management. Nora and Deb could exchange tips on seducing adoptive siblings.

@Kumagoro:disqus All great points. I miss season 2 Sophie-Anne.

Thanks phodreaw the initial puncture I bought. The 2nd puncture (exit wound) seems like a stretch.

Spin off— "Bringing up Fae-bies"

I thought the Russell Edgington arc of Season 3 was superior to the Mainad arc in Season 2 (which dragged on and on). The supporting storylines in season 3 did start to fall apart. Russell was kind of wasted in season 5.

Yes, Bill's pseudo-biography of Sherman was painful (and the truth is so much more compelling). It would be almost plausible for an unrepentant Confederate veteran to believe that BS, but that's not who Bill is. Bill spent decades educating himself and getting perspective and the show has always presented him as an…

They are growing up fast because babies are boring. And a wizard did it.

So how does that work? Did they film her death scene last year or did she had to come back just for for thirty seconds of melodrama and mouthful of theatrical blood. Because that would kind of suck for Janina Gavankar, honestly.

A werewolf pack book club would be all kinds of awesome.

She must have taken quite a spill to fall on it with enough force to drive it through her skull twice. I get that they wanted an essentially hopeless injury, and good choice there, but how plausible is it?

Maybe the Vohm are building a time machine, so Tom can travel back and make the show more interesting.

Other than the baby deliberately gaslighting Anne (which why exactly?) there's no reason Tom or even Lourdes shouldn't have seen a smart baby trick by now.

I thought the Joker's end in The Dark Knight Returns worked fine.

Except Bruce himself.
