Seeing Lady Jane take on a vampire hand to hand was ridiculous. Sure, she's fought and killed them before but that was with the aid of weapons. Given how strong vampires (at least well fed ones) are relative to humans, the fist fight looked silly.

That said, I had no problem with Renfield fighting Dracula solely because, despite how pissed off he was, I think Dracula was holding back only because it was Renfield he was fighting. Otherwise, Drac would have ripped Renfield's arms off.

Agree on Lady Jane unless it is revealed that the Order gives the Huntress special powers similar to the way they made Dracula, then it might make sense. Still quite a good show that I hope gets a good faith renewal. Has a lot of potential to grow and develop an audience.

They are pushing the plot at a very fast clip, I don't expect the entire cast to survive this season. I could see them turning Harker into a villain. They better not get rid of Lucy.

Unless she is somehow enhanced then it is ridiculous. Reminds me of films that show vampires jumping down from hundred of feet unharmed, running faster then some can blink then having a hundred pound person beat them hand to hand. They would not stand a chance.

That said, I had no problem with Renfield fighting Dracula solely because, despite how pissed off he was, I think Dracula was holding back only because it was Renfield he was fighting. Otherwise, Drac would have ripped Renfield's arms off.
I also figured he was not really trying.
