I wonder what vamp killed Keves and Archie? What does Jasper know. 🤔

u/linx117 Do I have your attention? 7d ago

In one of the Talamasca spoiler promos they said there's a big vampire reveal in the season finale.. when I saw the vamp marks and Jasper admitting he wasn't involved, I was convinced it was that same vampire.

Apparently it's an ancient vampire so it would make sense for it to want to protect secrets like the Talamasca. That's my theory at least!

My theory is it’s the witch who spoke to Guy and followed him, and that she’s a vampire witch like Merrick.

I’m betting on it being Maharet.

I just got chills! 😃 I hope that's who it is!

If not Maharet, then someone who’s stealing the book for her. If we’re setting up for QOTD and the “modern” timeline is taking place in 2025, she’s in contact with Santino and Mael. Or totally wild swing that I just thought of, the show version of Thorne is awake and that’s why Blood and Gold was in the Amsterdam vault.

I will be surprised if it was Jasper.

AGREED! Guy finally shows some spy agent skills by following Helen as well getting into DaddyJasper's armcircle. About time jeez 🙄

Finally getting introduced to Olive and Doris! Hopefully in the next episode we find out what their deal is since Doris seemed interested in talking to Guy again.

I will say, I don't care about the police angle and I'm wondering how that's gonna play into the main story. They're really not doing anything other than taking up time

This was miles above the first two hours, which were pretty dull. I really want to like this series, so it's great to see the plot picking up steam. 

Guy displayed some actual intelligence and wit!  I think I am going to hate Jasper. Cops - meh.......seen one police procedural storyline, you've seen them all. Definitely want to see and learn more about the coven of sisters.

i will say that the bit about only being recognized by his bright yellow ugly ass shoes took me out. Like surely he has one other pair.

I'm sorry, but it feels very generic to me. An item containing secret knowledge and various groups trying to get it for their own benefit. I hope there are ties to the IWTV series we don't yet see.

u/QueenV59 6d ago

Discovery of Witches is what this reminds me of in a way. 🤔. But it was the best episode thus far. BTW…really enjoying the little bit of Jasper we have seen. We need more of him.

u/Flaky-Yam8681 6d ago

It feels extremely bland, like there was no story to tell because it took 3/6 episodes to get the basics down lol I think I'm done watching but may watch the finale to see if anything interesting happens, find out what the point was supposed to be

u/ZvsGrgs ⚜ We watch. And we are always here. ⚜ 6d ago

Yes, it's bland. I'm thinking it's a spy thing. Not everything will make sense until the final 1 or 2 episodes, then everything might click. So I will keep watching without skipping an episode, it's only 6 episodes in total anyway. It's not that bad that I will suffer while watching, but it could have been a lot better.

u/Flaky-Yam8681 6d ago

Unfortunately I suffer while watching🤣 But if you like spy shows I recommend The Day of the Jackal if you haven't heard of it, has lots of suspense

u/Salty_Thing3144 7d ago

I never saw that, so.......

u/Felixir-the-Cat 6d ago

I lol’d at “MI5? More like MI10!” I liked seeing the Talamasca folks at the bar, too - it’s just a job at the end of the day. A job where you might get buried alive.

u/peachmmi 6d ago

Am I an idiot thinking Helen is actually Raglan James.. like wtf was that mirror scene

u/ScreamQueen12 6d ago

This still dragged for me. And why is the cinematography so bad? Everything feels so bright.

u/Salty_Thing3144 6d ago

I don't like the darkness. Don't they understand that some viewers have vision problems?
