i'm rewatching the young dracula pilot and i have some thoughts
the beginning is iconic - and the only time vlad is talking to and looking at the camera as far as i remember
"she's so much like her mother" the count not liking ingrid because of his complicated relationship with magda, her leaving him for a werewolf as we found out later in this ep and he's taking it out on his daughter - it all makes sense
robin hanging upside down in his room - what a legend
the first episode is actually doing such a good job setting up all the characters and the story
i like how it's mostly just a silly little show but it already introduces the dread and pressure vlad faces of becoming a vampire and that feels so real and sad
the scene where the count puts the cape on vlad in the mirror hit me harder than i thought it would probably bc i know where the show is going
"we're vampires. can't escape it. it's your destiny"
renfield in the nurse (?) outfit lmao
"have you come to donate blood?" "no" "it's for a good cause?" "what cause?" "lunch" alskdkjdd
i'm sorry but how did robin go from his hiding spot under the bed out of the door and walk around the castle without vlad, ingrid or zoltan noticing?? they're standing right there!!
the branaughs all going up to the castle one by one - really funny
ingrid is already a fashion icon
did renfield get tortured by a tarantula i totally missed that before and wow am i glad we did not really see that
and then he kills it (imelda) "if it's any consolation, master, she wouldn't have felt a thing" "except your huge bottom squishing her" INGRID lmao
love seeing vlad and ingrid teaming up and act like typical young brother/big sister
the count being dramatic as always but i feel like he gets introduced to being more formidable than he later is but i like it more this way than the borderline only comedy figure he becomes later
the actors are all really good actually but you can tell it's the first episode and it's still a little awkward and they're still working on the dynamics
all in all what a nice little kids gothic horror show that i have become obsessed with, totally accidental, six years ago
