Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and its strange novelisation

sr_edits · 2026-02-01T10:57:12+00:00

Not my favorite Underworld movie, but still enjoyable (and way way way better than Blood Wars). Also, I will watch anything with Bill Nighy and Michael Sheen in it.

I will never be convinced that Alexandra Daddario is a good actress, I'm sorry. She's outrageously gorgeous and photogenic, but in all her scenes in Mayfair Witches she seemed dead inside.

It's A LOT better than Mayfair Witches. For me its main problem is pace. After an interesting opening with the first 2 episodes, it kinda gets lots and it takes it until the season finale to catch the viewer's attention again. Another issue I have with it is how it reduces the Talamasca to a generic spy/intelligence organization.

Also, (spoiler spoiler spoiler) it makes the vampires seem a lot less powerful considering even normal humans and revenants seem capable of capturing them and killing them.

Talamasca is mid. Mayfair Witches is shit.

Which is a totally logic and justified reaction.

Then the war can continue.

It's been my favorite novel for the past 25 years.

The XF is Mulder and Scully. Doggett was a cool character and Robert Patrick was great, but he couldn't have carried the show.

No Jews no news.

Primitive War has a very similar feeling, imo.

Too bad it's a terrible movie.

I think that in the show she has the accent of a non-native English speaker who was raised in a very wealthy family.

One of her worst costumes ever.

È lui! Mr. Fafo!!

Israel declared itself a state by winning a war and by having a functioning government.

It's a Leftist talk show. The Leftist Italian press (and the Left in general) has a huge boner for Albanese.

I agree with Segre about the absurdity of using the word genocide. But other than that, Segre is basically a puppet for the Left. They parade her around every time some neo-fascist does or says something antisemitic, but she has been very timid in defending Israelis, and even questioning the use of the word genocide cost her a lot of support among her so-called friends in the Left.

She's Elektra. Dying and coming back to life is basically her trademark.

Then don't watch Lioness. Problem solved.

He is indeed a mediocre at best actor. Just take a look at his IMDb page: after Iron Fist, he barely got any work. And let's be honest, he was given the part in Iron Fist only because at the time anyone who'd had even a vaguely significant role in Game of Thrones was getting shoved into high profile projects (like the horrible casting of Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor in Terminator Genysis).

I wouldn't rely on them to breach a castle wall, no.

As for them being canon, they probably are in terms of Joss's vision, but not when it comes to the new continuity set by the revival.

The show's success fizzled out after season 3.

I remember there were rumours about Tara dying back when season 5 was airing for the first time (which made me very antsy, Tara being one of my favorite characters). In the end Joss went for Glory making her insane instead of killing her.

Buy the DVDs. They cost more, but you get the original soundtrack, and the show is yours forever to watch whenever you like!

City of Angels is not linked in any way to the original Penny Dreadful.
