I generally like Kiele Sanchez. I realize that this is an unpopular opinion
and that many are supremely annoyed by her. I liked her in LOST and I even
liked her in THE GLADES despite hating her character. But this outing ...
yeah, I finally understood the people rooting for bad things to happen. She
was just fingernails on a blackboard here, especially after the fine job
Margot Robbie did in the role in the first film.*

What the Hell did she *think* was going to happen? Was that just the worst
way of committing suicide ever?
Despite it being fragrantly* foreshadowed, it *never* occurred to me she'd do
that, because it's beyond Lois Lane stupid.
Also, this may as well be an unrelated film with a different vampire mythos.
They went all ALIENS with the queens and such that we know are totally
unnecessary from the first film.
And have the writers yet to figure out that "Polar night" happens twice a
year!?

Who was she? I saw her name in the credits and never did pick her out.

IMDb calls Baird "one of the finest actresses in America"
I'm still laughing.
And I call on you to fix the fucking Wiki:
"A year after the Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by
vampires"

I'm recording them but not watching them so I'll have them on hand in case I
need to watch one for the CRISIS
As opposed to Batteredwoman that I couldn't even stand to record at all any
more.
