Dracula (TV Show)

[Cinderella]

Gotta post this thread on the new Dracula TV Show because Curegirl and I will be watching it.

Premieres Friday, October 25 at 10/9c on NBC

Series introduces Dracula as he arrives in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality, he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier. There's only one circumstance that can potentially thwart his plan: Dracula falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.

This is what I mean by sexy sexiness.

[Curegirl]

Yay! And yes, sexy sexiness is the best description of this yet

Elements (Orchestral Version) - Lindsey Stirling - Dracula

[Curegirl]

So excited, just one more week til sexy time!

[Cinderella]

Hee, hee, hee! I know! Did you see the one promo where he's surrounded by thousands of women in red that he's taken to bed?

[Curegirl]

Haha! That's the first time I've seen that-so follow up question would have to be how many STIs do you think Dracula has because that's a whole lot of women!

[Cinderella]

Well it could be a metaphor for his blood lust. Vampires are supposed to have magical sex appeal to easily lure and seduce beautiful women to drink their blood. Though the predators appetite is hardly every quenched. Also I think if you're immortal and considered to be among one of the mythological creatures of the living dead then things like AIDS and other STDs aren't going to have much affect on your quality of life like mere mortals.

[Curegirl]

There's a poem called "A Vampire in the Age of Aids" that had always made me wonder Think you're right that it could be a metaphor and perhaps showing how many women he feasted on throughout the times.

[Cinderella]

Haha! Now I want to read the poem.

[Curegirl]

There were a lot of changes from the book but so far I liked it...I laughed aloud at how they made Mina a med student. Can't seem to get away from the dreaded mistress, even for one hour!

[Cinderella]

I caught it on hulu today. I loved how it was like watching a movie. It looks very good. I like Mina being a medical student too and the connection there. I can see a lot of interesting plot lines and twists with that. I also thought every character was well cast.

If anyone wants to watch the first episode I linked to it on hulu below.

The Blood is The Life

[Curegirl]

It did look like a movie! They had limited commercial breaks too, which was great because I don't like it when it's dark and scary and bam! Buy some Febreeze!

[niener]

Damn I missed it! I had no idea they were even doing a Dracula TV show until about a week ago when I saw a promo for it, and that's still the only one I've seen. I'm surprised they haven't hyped it more, or maybe I just manage to keep missing them all.

Thanks for the Hulu link Cinderella, I might just go watch that now since I don't seem to have the mental capacity for much else today

ETA: now 15 minutes in and I'm having a seriously hard time getting over JRMs American accent. It's just.... wrong.

I thought so too, it sounded really weird.

[Cinderella]

Ya the accent throws me a little too but I'm not used to what he normally sound like. I try to think of Hugh Laurie from House who did the same thing.
