I just watched the season UK finale last night. I can't even. yeah. I don't want to get spoilery in here but I'll just say that I'm so whatever about UK S3. They took the show in a direction that I don't enjoy and I don't even think is thematically compatible with the first 2 seasons, and I'm over it. I'm not sticking around for S4.
I hope you like US 1x9. It had some elements I really liked, some others not so much. But I'm still very interested and excited about 1x10.
This is why I need you in all of my fandoms, FOREVER. ♥
Question: Do you think they're going to kill off Rebecca before next season, or keep her around? They've certainly invested a lot more screen time on her than I expected...
Aidan's mentoring fail reminds me of Daisy's Speech of Amazingness in S2, where she points out to Mitchell that he only got to his "clean living" by standing on the back of others in the community. He was enabled and supported into that lifestyle, so he need can't expect the whole community can just flip a switch into it.
I think Aidan's short changing Rebecca because though he means well, he wants to make her become him without the 100+ years it took him to get there.
Aidan can have all the issues he wants with Bishop, but he's the fairly stable and long-lived result of Bishop's mentoring. So trying divide Rebecca from Bishop and wanting her not to listen to him... possibly not the best strategy for a new vamp.
I don't really want or expect vampire characters to obey human morality. Vampires that don't kill & compel people can GTFO. ;)

Dude, omg, do not get me started on this. They're VAMPIRES. They are NOT HUMAN. They are not going to ACT HUMAN. For pity's sake, the interesting bits are watching the struggle between "hi vampire don't give a fuck" and "huh shouldn't eat that baby over there no matter how nummy". Cheering on a supernatural creature for being true to its nature is not the same as thinking baby munching is peachy. This is not a difficult concept people!
Cheering on a supernatural creature for being true to its nature is not the same as thinking baby munching is peachy. You would think! But I swear, I was just commenting on a discussion post fucking yesterday simply saying that Bishop's maneuvering was brill and I got someone all D: D: D: HOW CAN YOU APPLAUD THE KILLING OF CHILDREN?! And then when I tried to be all, "well, clearly we approach the show differently but that's ok" they had to still come back to me with moralizing. Could not let it go!
This is seriously the 4th time in a month that I've gotten into wank (in different supernatural fandoms) because of this general concept. So I finally had to let off some steam in the ol' LJ. At least I've started a policy of not replying more than once. Someone comments on one of my posts or comments with these issues and I acknowledge them but then refuse to keep engaging in the argument. There's no point, we're never going to agree and they won't even be convinced that it's okay to view this differently so it's a time-waster.
