VO, who? Bruno rushes in, stops Davenport's shooting of Chris. It's slightly funny whenever Davenport, dead, has a technical question or second guesses Bruno on some practical detail. But you said to.... Dav objects. I changed my mind! I'm justifying myself to a corpse! Bruno almost says.
Barnabas drops us back into the atmospheric part of being a vampire, summoning Megan. Back at the carriage house, Megan mocks Jeb's fear of werewolves. Only on DS. All God's chillun fear werewolves!
I love Davenport the zombie. Oops, there he goes, dismembered by Chris. It's not as if his system was functioning anyway, it didn't need to, for him to walk and do stuff. So maybe he's conscious and in pieces, like at the end of Death Becomes Her.
Right after Barnabas bites Megan with his big green face, they cut immediately back to the crypt and the werewolf. I love that, we get a vampire attack going straight to a wolfman chained to a wall. This supernatural free-for-all is just so much more entertainingly crazy and packed with "stuff" than 1968, which I'm comparing it with. I think 1968 is too in-the-middle. It makes some sense, enough to follow, not enough to be satisfying or sensible. It's inbetween on the crazy meter. It's too crazy to be solidly good, and not crazy enough to be entertainingly crazy and manic. I presume we're at least halfway through Leviathans, maybe 2/3, maybe 3/4. This stretch is crazy in a good way, and action-packed, moving along, unpredictable. Its pace is that of 1897 now. This beats 1968 by miles.
Bruno learns Meg's a vamp victim. Bruno's unclever trick works on Jeb, and Jeb goes into the crypt alone with a gun whose bullets he hasn't checked out. Grrrr. End.
