![]() She hoped it would allow to Vanessa to do the right thing. Scarlett believes that doing what Sam was told to do, to kill a person he loved, would have the opposite effect on Vanessa. Knowing that Vanessa is dealing with a growing darkness inside of her, Scarlett suddenly decides that the only way for them to win is for Vanessa to overcome the darkness. After being told that only one of them would survive through the end of their journey, Vanessa trapped Scarlett on a deserted island and set off to kill the Fourth Elder alone.Īfter finding a way off the island in Van Helsing season 3's penultimate episode, Scarlett found Axel and caught up to Vanessa while she was talking with Sam and the vampire woman. So far, Scarlett has been instrumental in fighting the vampires. Vanessa's sister, Scarlett, has been a key part of the show since she first appeared in Van Helsing season 2. It brings the show down-to-earth for a more familial affair. It brings her story full circle, now that she's not hunting seemingly random vampires but must defeat a vampire that knows her better than most. But it's also a twist that coincides with Vanessa's destiny, as she's forced to defeat someone she once knew and perhaps thought of as a friend. It's strange that there would be three Elders who've existed for centuries while the Fourth Elder, and arguably most powerful one of the bunch, is someone who hasn't existed until now. After this is done, Sam is transformed into the Fourth Elder and given a devil-like appearance. Sam is finally able to empty his heart of love by murdering Mohamad. Vanessa tries to stop Sam from becoming the Elder but the woman's powers render her helpless. Apparently, this was Sam's destiny all along. However, their fight is interrupted by a mysterious female vampire, who explains that there was never a Fourth Elder and that this person must be created. Yeah this is bad.When Vanessa goes to find the Fourth Elder, she comes across Sam and tries to kill him. The final straw was the grizzled marine who survived 3 years in almost complete isolation yelling out in fury "SHUT THE FRICK UP". The scenario seems to have some potential but we are forced to slog behind infuriating characters that refuse to observe anything around them and act with no consistency or agency. The set design is poor, I laughed out loud at some absurdities like wet glossy blood on a baby carrier that's supposed to have been ravaged at least 3 years prior, or a seemingly never-ending supply of bullets and smokes that we're supposed to believe were in short supply months before the story kicks off. The constant fades between scenes with abruptly chopped stock music, make it look like someone just edited this in Windows Movie Maker. The premise seemed like something I'd love, and there's something there but I couldn't bring myself to go past Season 1 Episode 3, and frankly I'm shocked to read how people say this is when the show was good. 3 Failed attempts at building some structure and now utterly killed it with the "elders" and the "Van Helsing", like come on! I hope to all vampires that it picks up quickly because even I am running out of patience here, I'd rather stare at a blank wall than see another cliche plot twist and lazy writing! From one cliche plot twist to another, I am yet to see anything that is worth this series, that makes this series its own unique story and seriously 2 seasons and you don't know anything about this world, except that it is "infested with vampires" and everyone is just running around like a maniac. ![]() Visuals aren't at all what you'd hope for in this day and age, it's NOTHING like the movie, the writing is sloppy to say the least and down right stupid at its worst, like characters suddently know things they shouldn't know just because they wanted to go on with the story, which I find unacceptable to be honest. ![]() Every single classical plot twist, literally one after another after another, it's like watching Dynasty with Vampires. I've watched 2 seasons, I don't know why I still bother at this point.
