She says in the show along the lines of, everything she turns some back she loses a bit of herself. I think the more she turn back to human the more vampire she becomes.

[@Spllyn]

Sam has been the best vampire we have ever seen, he was cool enough to have rolled with the vampires from 30 days of night

[@thetechlibrarian]

I still think The Strain has the best vampires. Super underrated and would be a shame for that concept to never be revisited.

[@jeremyboughtono2]

i couldnt stand him and fast forwarded through most of the scenes where he was a vampire.

[@BTSIPURPLEYOU-zi4mk]

I hated him he’s such a menace he killed not every but some of Vanessa’s friends

[@cmillbekem771]

Vanessa did not heal from the sewer vampire because she had a piece of its tooth stuck in her wound causing infection and preventing it from healing. Once it was removed she returned to normal capacity.

[@kubobetterrelax7435]

Vampire the Masquerade has some of the best Vampire lore. It's so deep and the world building is so massive. You have to make a video on it some time

Sam arc was mindblowing. rarelly i have feared for main cast so much

[@SN00PICUS]

I'd love to see a video on the vampires from Salem's Lot. I always thought they were really interesting and in the book the mythology was fairly deep and accurate. His servant "preparing the way" and even going as far as to buy all the roses from the flower shops to prevent their use. Most movies forget about the roses vs vampires.

[@shadeoftruth6442]

Thank you! Nobody ever talks about the roses use against vampires!

[@coganLollins]

Yes I need to check that out 👍 I have never heard of the roses and vampires thing sounds interesting!

[@renegade7357]

My favourite show on Netflix. hands down.

[@TaurokUK]

It was a good series. I love Christopher, he played Sam fantastically and is a talented actor. I hope to see him more.

[@oisinm332]

Don't forget Christopher not only plays all those vampire roles but also Todd a Wraith from Stargate Atlantis, they are sort of vampiric, draining the lifeforce from people.

[@aurionblackfyre8480]

He was Todd ? Wtf I never actually noticed

[@LittleRedTeaCake]

I remember this series fondly, but I also know that I didn't finish it and for the life of me I cannot remember, so I think after watching your video and seeing how the world and mythology deepened, I'll have to give it a rewatch. I do, very distinctly remember Sam breaking my heart. I adored Sam and Mohamad before the big reveal and like I said, it broke my heart.

[@mathieubordeleau150]

You should cover Count Duckula, it has one of the more interesting way to resurrect a vampire compare to most series.

[@crystalsmith5330]

Love count duckula and Igor's annoyance at the count's life decisions

[@bekleedee]

I love Christopher Heyerdahl. He's been in so many great shows. I think his portrayal as Alastair in Supernatural is my favourite

[@daver4874]

I know that I'm quite a bit late to the party but I just wanted to add my respects for Christopher Heyerdahl as well. I'm not sure if "underated" is the correct way to describe him. Maybe "underutilized" would be better because anyone who knows who he is also knows what a great actor he is. My first introduction to him was as Todd the Wraith and I've been impressed by every other character since. He also did a great job as "The Swede" in hell on wheels.

[@bekleedee]

@@daver4874 I loved him in star gate too. He was great in Sanctuary

It will also help with your burnout lmao. You will be less likely to burnout if you cover videos that you love.

[@KentPetersonmoney]

Loved the show. I thought the elder were really old vampires that were thousands of years old but then Sam became one. Obviously he's still in his 2 digits so he's not even an old vampire. Show did go from science to magic after season 3.

[@vincyagain]

Truly AMAZING vampire series it’s so original and exciting. Thanks for making this video so I can relive some of the moments!

[@yensid4294]

Chris Heyerdahl played Jack the Ripper in the SyFy series Sanctuary. It wasn't technically a "vampire show" but it had main characters who are a group of immortals & vampires/vampire lore is an important plot element. There are werewolves & all sorts of mythical beings & cryptids in the show. It's a fun watch, kinda Steam Punk/ Gothic in aesthetic, with many recognizable fantasy/scifi actors. Heyerdahl is always good & it's worth watching just for his performances.

[@hatednyc]

Christopher Heyerdahl was amazing in Stargate Atlantis as well. He’s always great.

[@robangel0816]

I could’ve swore I’ve watched this, and wasn’t drawn in. You’ve convinced me to try again.

[@welliminitnowso]

[@whiskeypunch8012]

Logan, my friend, as a fellow vampire fan, I can't wait for you to cover The World of Darkness and Vampire the Masquerade. I know it is not a TV show or a film, as usually you prefer, but man, it is the best piece of media there is on vampires like EVER. Too good to pass. I know quite a lot about it, but I do enjoy your videos on the matter. Edit: the second I post this comment, I notice basically the same one at the top of the section from 10 days ago, lol. Edit 2: Do not listen to people, who encourage you to play Malkavians or Nosferatu first, cause, one, tremers are the supreme choice of a refined gentelperson (ye, I said it), second, they are "the weird kinds", that are better to be played after you finished the game as a more "normal" ones.

I was sad when they took the super healing from Axel and Julius. They were amazing and that meant that they were able to go toe to toe with super vamps. Other than that, it was great watching the show. I didn't really like the final few episodes though as it seemed like a cop out that Vanessa just gained similar powers to fight the dark one. It felt like a lazy solution to me. Other than that, it was a great show, and the cast was amazing.

I tried watching this series at least 3 or 4 times but never managed to get into it. The only 2 things I enjoyed about the show are the premise with the eruption and the vampires coming out of hiding, and the different kinds of vampires. That's it. Everything else felt so weak and cheap, and adding a few actors I really like seeing on television didn't change much. I couldn't care less about the main character and main villain.

[@analea6531]

I’m currently watching season 3 and this show lacks some logic. The sisterhood was supposed to be so powerful yet Maya was killed in a second. Some are vampires, others are zombies or something else. Vanessa treated her sister so poorly and she is extremely self centered. She let Axel suffer when he was begging her to heal him and he took care of her for 3 years straight and rushed his life multiple times for her after she woke up. Scarlet barely has some powers even though she’s Vanessa’s twin and if it wasn’t for Axel nobody would care about her. The ancestors are supposed to be powerful yet they are killed so effortlessly. I started the show because I love Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman but unless it takes another tourne this show is written poorly

Just started that show today and i cant understand why the vampire's behave more zombie like? The only vampires i saw in that Series acting like "normal" vampires just like from Underworld seem to be the elders or the dark one...why is that so? I personally think that letting the vampires behave like zombies ruines the Show a little because it so gives up a vibe like Resident evil. They also let them look like zombies. For me its a thing that confuses me.

Vampire Diaries is preternatural romance, Van Helsing is horror, and the idea of undead apocalypse is original of vampires, the book of I am legend is the first story of undead apocalypse and the author made it following the idea of "if a vampire is bad imagine thousands of them", the idea of zombie apocalypse was the copycat, the author of the first movie of zombies was actually following the book of I am legend.

Heierdahl was in Stargate Atlantis too as a Wraith. They were a kind of vampire.

[@AnomalyINC]

Personally, I've never been much of a fan of the "vampirism as a disease"-take, where you turn if you're bitten, like your average zombie. It sort of makes the vampire less special, less intimidating. Another thing that bothers me more than it really should is how the spotlight is always on van Helsing, whereas Johnathan Harker and Quincey Morris are left in the dust. I mean, they are the ones who actually kills the Count off! I guess "Helsing" is just such a cool name.
