Cool! And I take it the mist is the authentic fog he brings down himself?

She revelled in adventure and imagination.

Breaking boundaries and chasing fire.

Seeing as this particular iteration of Dracula was absorbing his British victims knowledge and mannerisms - you are what you eat - if youd bothered to follow the plot I'm not sure what the actor being a Slav would bring to the party.

Yup and you can hear him whisper and laugh maniacally too.

Imagine anyone with body dismorphia or seriously disfigured through burns who watched got themselves a dose of PTSD. Let alone any who'd just been to a cremation of some relative. Seems Moffat cares about shocking his audience rather than the outliers in his audience who might be more traumatised than shocked - didn't cross a actual line but crossed a spirit of a line...class it as breaching the wall of good taste, in places.

Britain is expected to achieve its zero-carbon targets almost thirty years early after Bram Stoker was discovered to be spinning in his grave at over 72,000 rpm overnight.
Seismologists had noticed a faint hum from Stoker’s last resting place on Thursday evening, which rose to a staggering speed at about 9:15 yesterday evening and shows no sign of abating.
”We quickly plugged him into a turbine and now he’s powering Wales and most of the South West on his tod,” explained power engineer Simon Williams.
”It’s a mystery what might have caused this to happen. Stoker has occasionally shifted in his eternal sleep – there was what’s known as the ‘Keanu disturbance’ in 1992, for example, but this is unprecedented.

No it was establishment propoganda. The woman in the cremation basket was meant to represent the lower cognitive capacity of black people generally. She was a dupe. She resembled a younger Diane Abbot. From this one point much can be gleaned with regards the shows intent. Designed for a Labour win to rally the troops of establishment. That Labour never won the election is beside the point.

define 'authentic' as pertains to Dracula? no movie or series ever made on the subject was ever faithful in the least to the Stoker original... and Stoker just pieced his vampire from a variety of sources and grafted the name of a medieval ruler known for hideous cruelty on it, nothing authentic there either.

Um, yeah, thanks for the lecture. Looks like you have not noticed the double meaning in "novel". It turns my remark into a pun, and a somewhat sarcastic joke. Nobody else except for Fallible seems to have noticed either. There I was, stoked with the brilliance of my wordplay, but now I feel like someone has driven a stake through my heart. It's a cruel world. My fragile ego cannot cope with it.

Actually, I did notice, which is why I added the bit about Stoker's Dracula not being authentic either, ... note that the lack of authenticity does not make it bad, when you compare that to stuff like Polidori's Vampyre, or what Byron produced on the subject or Rymer's Varney the Vampire, Stoker's Dracula shines out as the masterwork it is, the last great Gothic novel.
Just don't bother attributing to it virtues it doesn't have, or need.

You mean I should read all of Svarty's reply? After the first four words I sighed, "yeah, for sure" and lost interest in reading the rest.
