Attention Fang Bangers! Who is your favourite Vampire? The Women
CellarDweller:
I did have one major problem with Dru.......she killed Kendra.
:laugh:
For those who don't know, Kendra was another slayer, and in her last episode, Dru killed her. I always thought she had great potential as a character, and was not fully utilized. Here's a shot of her with Buffy.
Mikaela:
Kendra was cool. :)
*channels Buffy*
"get a load of the She-Giles!"
*channels Spike*
"Dru bagged a slayer?!"
Well, at least Dru proved that she was truly dangerous (as well as stark raving mad) and worth the vampire name - not like some of the other Buffy vamps who couldn't bite their way out of a paper bag if their (un)lives depended on it.

--- Quote ---Not a big fan of Kate Beckinsale's vampire either. I mean, yes, she looks good, but the character comes across as dour and humourless and introverted and generally disinterested in good and bad alike - at least in the first of the trilogy which is the only one I've seen.

That's because Selene didn't have a happy undead life (is that a contradiction?). Imagine, your whole family butchered by (what you imagine) is an enemy, you get turned into a vampire, spend the next centuries eaten up with hate and revenge and killing and fending off unwanted advances from a slimy fellow vampire who just won't leave you alone.
Not a life to make anyone a Mary Sunshine, ya know?
Mikaela:
Guess not.
But whatever her traumatic backstory, she leaves me cold IMO, and I find it difficult to root for her as the heroine of the flic. Most angsty out-for-revenge fantasy types come with a dollop of quirkiness, charm or one nice characteristic or two to ensure we can't help liking them despite all the gloom and angst.

I just added Andrée Melly (#16) who played Gina in THE BRIDES OF DRACULA! How could I have forgotten that little vampire minx!
