  • Bloodthirsty newbie Vamps

    Ah ... a little more insight into the Vampire world. Apparently if you leave a newly turned vampire to their own devices they act like spoiled children. As is evident in this episode. I really love how Mick's character handles things. He's really intense and seems to take everything so personally. This particular episode I feel saw him and Beth getting into their working together 'groove' and of course Beth finds out Mick's big secret. I really enjoyed the scene where she was asking all her questions about Vampires. It was quirky and funny. I certainly can't wait to see what the writers bring us next. More More More please!!!moreless

    This was a wonderful episode! The entire episode was written very well, and the action scenes were incredible! I think that this was one of the best episodes so far in the series, which isn't saying much considering there were only two episodes before this one. The acting was wonderful, and the plot was even better! It was cool to learn that there were a couple hundred vampires in LA, not to mention the fact that there is a cleaner vampire whom other vampires call when there is a body that needs to be disposed of. This has to be one of my favorite episodes!moreless

    An elderly rocket scientist vampire is hit by a car. Since vamps live off blood and heal this is not a problem after a few minutes for the old vamp. It does take a few minutes to heal, however, and a doctor just happens by and tries to save the old vamp. Things get twisted and the old vamps "sires" himself a new vamp and never realizes it. The term "sire" refers to making to making a vamp out of a human. The good doctor is now a bad doctor out killing for the pleasure of it and to "feed". Mick hunts the bad doctor down while telling Beth what it feels like to become a vampire. The show's ending is very touching.moreless

    i thought that this was a very cool episode. beth slowly wanting to come back and learn from mick. mick is a really cool guy and i could understand why he didn't feel the need to share with beth what happened to his wife. i thought it was so cool that mick didn't mind if beth asked him so many questions about him being a vampire. the two best parts that i really enjoyed in this episode was when mick got stacked and beth took the steak out of him and at the end of the show when he told beth that she is the only human that he has told that he is a vampire and him touching her hand slowly letting her know that he will always be there.moreless

  • A vampire bites a man and "turns" him. Then leaves him.

    A rocket scientist vampire bites a man and drains him of his blood. He accidently spits his blood into the victim thus "turning" him. Check this out! He doesn't realize it and leaves the man "dead". This man is undead! He feeds on every human who gets in his way including his wife! Meanwhile Mick tracks this "rogue" vampire to a hospital where he finally stakes him (which only paralyzes a vamp) and then sticks his staked victim in the incinerator. The only way to kill a vamp is by fire or by chopping their heads off. This rogue vampire dies by fire.moreless

    • Mick: (voice over) What's it like to turn into a vampire? As if there were some way to describe it. What do you do when your whole world changes in the blink of an eye? When suddenly, all the rules change. Edit
    • Mick: A newly turned vampire is like a feral kitten, if you don't socialize it within the first few days, it will never be able to interact with humans. Edit
    • Mick: That goes against every rule we have. A sire has to be responsible for whoever they turn, to help them through the transition. Edit

    • Episode Title Dr. Feelgood is slang for heroin. A British "Pub Rock" band took it as their name in the 70's. There was also a 1989 song titled Dr. Feelgood from the band Mötley Crüe. Edit
