Carmilla the series

[Guy Gardener]

Cool. Thanks.

Speaking of physical transfomations, I know they can't shrink the actress, but how much shorter "might" Danny be three years ago?

It would be funny (complicated funny not haw haw funny) trying to use forced perspective to portray the woman 6 inches shorter in 2012, because she's 3 years younger.

Danny is supposed to be in her Junior year in season one, so what would be average growth between 18 and 21 for someone 6' 2"/188cm? Maybe someone about Lucy Lawless's height, 5' 10"/178cm or so?

Also from the book is Mattie, Matska Belmonde. Matska is Carmilla's traveling companion along with the countess/mother in the carriage 'accident' that brings Carmilla. It's unclear whether Carmilla is the boss of the operation or not. They disappear from the narrative after the crash, so they might be thralls under Carmilla's command much like Dracula's servants were, unlike the series here.

How their affliction is being described in the show, they've tricked me into assuming that the blood inside them is being stolen or vanishing by some unusual means. Is that where you think that they are leading you as well?

But what if their blood hasn't actually gone anywhere?

If instead of shedding the lining to their uterine walls, it's all still there and 3 ply thick.

1. Brides of Satan carrying monsters requiring superwombs.

2. Maybe someone/thing hungry is turning these girls in to a bloody version of a Cadbury Cream Egg? A clot of juicy inner goodness explodes as soon as they sink their teeth into an abdomen.

Well, Carmilla said she still has her periods, so that would make something like 4000 or so for her. That could make some Cream Egg. We need Egon for calculations, or LaF.

Good God that would suck! It's bad enough women get it for about 40 years but for an eternity!? Now that's pure hell. I always thought female vampires would stop getting their periods, because they are technically dead.

Maybe it's just in the "Carmilla-verse" though?

 

[Gov Kodos]

Indeed, if Laura ever wants to become a vampire to stay with Carmilla, she might want to do it after menopause. The first reference to vampire periods was in a comedy PSA and the second was the offhand reference in this episode. Being funded by a tampon company, they aren't shy to use a bit of camp for product placement.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

That could work. And maybe with her being a vampire, she could still look youthful. I think it's kind of a positive thing. Menstruation is often kept hush-hush in the media (and in daily life) when instead it should be discussed without any weirdness. It's a normal part of life. A very sick diabolical part of life, but normal nonetheless.

And for vampires, a need to 'rehydrate' more. The PSA skit is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAwtIyPvvQI

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

There is this one as well. Of course Danny was going to win but I applaud Kirsh for being knowledgable.

[Gov Kodos]

They've done a lot of fun content for the show. I hope they will be doing more for any third season.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

They probably will. Hopefully.

Not all deadites resurrect equally.

After 3 years of exposure to the elements, there should be more than zero percent zombie nudity on The Walking Dead.

Carmilla is talking to people who do not know she is a vampire so she is pretending to be human. It could have been a no go on the crimson horror for the last 400 years rather than a newer development.

In season one they kept her tied to a chair for almost 2 weeks.

That's a 50/50 if her jailers were humanly dealing to her sanitary requirements.

2 weeks without pooping?

"Respect!"

 

[Gov Kodos]

It's one of those things like what does Supergirl do about hair cuts and nails?

Maybe she has special vampire powers where she can control her bodily functions in case of emergency?

It's fantasy. Anything is possible.

I once read a great scene in a vampire novel: the heroine, an investigative reporter, has gone undercover at a vampire club, posing as one of the Undead, when, all of a sudden, at the worst possible moment, she gets her period and all eyes turn toward her . . ...

Talk about a cliffhanger!

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

That's some bad timing. Did she live?

Well, Superman uses the curved polished Kyptonian steel from the rocket that brought him here as a baby as a mirror, to bounce his heat ray vision at his face to shave and trim his hair.

Supergirl might do something similar.

You'd think that super bullets (made from Kryptonian nail clippings) might chew straight through Kevlar... However if hair is dead, how does dead hair transform solar energy into invulnerability?

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I wonder why they decided to put season zero on the ubykotex channel?

I'm guessing to get more people to buy Kotex products?

I believe so. Been quite a few years since I read that book.

You finally noticed mount Tampon creeping out of stage right?
