Hello everyone. It has been many years now since Dracula was cancelled. I recently rewatched the series and enjoyed it just as much since the first time I saw it. it really reminded me of how shitty it was that the show was cancelled, to the point where I decided to put up a petition on Change.org for it. The chances of this petition having any effect is small, but for a series that was as good as Dracula, im willing to give a chance, no matter how small.

Here's the link to the petition, how as many as possible are willing to sign.

I think the writing and acting was really top notch! Just sayin..

Jonathan Rhys Meyers confirmed that there will be a second season of Dracula.

Link here

This is the news Dracula fans have been waiting for!!!

how did Alexander get the triptic????

I'm not sure if there will be a second season but it is a moot point for me because I won't be watching anyway. I just finished watching the last episode (bootleg copy online) and am totally disappointed.

SPOILERS for the last episode and full season are below!!

I was holding back a bit because I thought maybe by some miracle they would be able to save this train wreck.

First things first, who is the protagonist? Most would say, "Why, Dracula of course! It's right in the title ya dufus!"

But that would be wrong.

It is actually Van Helsing.

Whaaaaaaaaa?

Let me explain. Dracula is not the protagonist. Not even close. Why? Because he doesn't do anything. Things happen to him. In fact, almost everything is put in motion and controlled by Van Helsing:

• who is after revenge for his family?

• who wakes up Dracula?

• who comes up with the plan to destroy the Order through technology?

• who comes up with a way for Dracula to walk in daylight?

• who takes matters into his own hands whenever he feels things are getting out of control? (killing mostly)

• who kills Renfield?

• who calls upon Harker and tells him about Dracula?

• who abandons Dracula after he wander away from the plan and doesn't give two shits about the technology anymore?

• etc....

This is Van Helsing's story. He's the protagonist. He's the one making decisions. He's the one calling the shots. Dracula is an after thought. He may be interesting when his eye teeth poke out and he hisses but that's about it.

He's not even competent enough to take down his enemies. Heck, he's not even fuckin' competent enough to be able to buy a damned triptych and get it back safely without exposing his own and only MASSIVE weakness (Mina). He's a tool... in both senses of the word.

Things happen to him and he's reeling trying to hold his head above water and finally he drowns in the ensuing chaos of his own amateurish meddling.

The Dracula they present to us is feeble minded. He doesn't have discipline. He doesn't even really know himself. He doesn't trust the people he should trust (Renfield and that friend/vampire lieutenant he killed) and he dances dangerously with those who can hurt him Harker (as if he wouldn't notice that Dracula gets a boner every time Mina walks into the room) and the Huntress (wtf was the point of sleeping with her... other than to titillate the audience?).

Most egregious, he doesn't rely on the one key strength he has... to turn people. Oh sure, he does turn a few here and there. But it is random, uncoordinated, unintelligent flopping around. WTF was the reason to turn Lucy? a psychotic horny spoiled brat. What kind of advantage does she provide to be on his side?

Rather than haphazardly turning people he could have stepped back and identified key people that he could have turned into his allies by making them vampires and growing his influence and power exponentially. You see, the key question to ask is this: if I turn this person will they be an asset enough to overcome the liability of increasing the possibility of the Order discovering them and in turn me? If the answer is that the person is not enough of an asset, you don't fucking turn them!

Fuckssake! He doesn't turn the huntress at the end but shows her mercy when she didn't even think for one split second of doing the same for him. Again, WTF was the point of sleeping with her and "messing with her mind" if it didn't even faze her for one fucking second? And why not turn her? she is the most incredible asset to have! far more powerful than that silly geared contraption if you want to take down the order! She's at the heart of the Order for fuckssake!

But turning that homeless beggar sleeping in the corner who just finished pissing himself is the way to go! Ooops! he was killed the next day by a huntress with a flick of her hair. Oh well...

So instead of doing obvious things that would create a powerful organization to rival the Order, he intermittently plays the role of a teenager in angst and an industrialist. Totally ignoring his one tactical advantage he broods in his home and continues to rely on who? Renfield? no, Dracula doesn't really listen to him although he's the most loyal and intelligent agent. Harker? Van Helsing?

So why does Dracula ignore his one major tactical advantage?

Probably because it wasn't in Van Helsing's grand plan. And this version of Dracula is too stupid to even think of it.

It is a shame that the writers didn't create a show with really interesting characters, dialogue and story lines. They certainly had great talent, budgets, sets, etc. All that was needed was intelligent scripts.

Instead we get a watered down version of Twilight. Fucking disgrace.

That blond lady is killing vampires without putting too much effort in it. Probably it's the only thing that I don't like about this TV show.

Hi guys, do you know what song is playing in 4yh episode 10:50?
