Lots of ripping apart body parts in this one. I enjoyed this episode for the most part. I wish they closed the ceiling after the daylight juice failed. They could have used the vampire again instead of letting her burn.

The waltz was interesting but a little over done, to many people catching on.

I'm actually quite liking this one. Any idea how it's doing in the ratings department?

Yeah, I didn't get why they let her burn. I also felt they opened the ceiling too soon. I'm no doctor but I doubt the heart would have pumped that serum all through her circulatory system mere seconds after being injected with it.

Really loved the backstory of Renfield.

I hope Grayson explains that away with a half truth. Just say that he lost someone dear to him many years ago and during the Waltz with Mina, he was overcome with memories of that person.

I finally caught up with watching this series over the weekend. I like the entire cast in their roles...except its main star. I don't buy Meyers as the immortal Dracula with whatever accent he's trying to push on the show. Overlooking that one flaw, it has been a fine show so far. It continues the recent television trend of re-doing Victorian era stories with modern mores, which seriously hurts the show's historical credibility.

Very poorly (0.9 demo rating for live+sd).

That is not good at all, though NBC didn't really attempt much promotion for Dracula. This series also looks a bit expensive with all the period sets and CGI.

The accent is horrible. It's only acceptable because Dracula himself is faking an accent. Still cringeworthy, though.
