  • I think the spell is based around trust, the vampire has to convince you to trust them enough (either through charm or trickery) to invite them into your private living space. I think an outhouse would work since there’s a major expectation of privacy there.

    I think a warrant would help the vampire convince people to trust them (a judge trusted them to execute their court order) but probably wouldn’t be enough on it’s own. Because it’s not about convincing someone else to say it’s ok to enter your home, they have to convince you to give them permission. But the vampire could say “I have been ordered by the court to search your house, may I come in?” They’d have to wait until you’ve read the warrant, maybe call your lawyer, and your lawyer would tell you that you have to let them in. Then you’d likely give permission to the vampire to enter your house because your lawyer told you to. Because lawyers are just another kind of blood sucker, aren’t they?

    First season was a bit procedural, but S2 may be the best season of TV of anything. Other seasons were great too, and it had the best ending of any TV show I’ve seen.

    Based on some of the works of Elmore Leonard (author of the books movie like Get Shorty and Jackie Brown are based on) it’s about an old school cowboy kind of guy by the name Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant)… but in modern times. So cowboys vs. gangsters kind of thing.

    Here’s the opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho2_c_LGZfk

    Raylan isn’t the most interesting character, interesting enough though because it is questioned whether he’s creating situations so he can kill people, what the influence his father (a violent abusive criminal) had on him, etc. But it’s kinda like Batman TAS, where the villains are the really interesting part of it. The main villain, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), is kinda like the Joker because he knows the hero is going to win and makes all of his schemes around that.

    You can skip City Primeval tho, it’s kinda pointless other than the last five minutes.





  • Seems a little confusing of an analogy to choose with all the antisemitism going on these days.

    Also not sure why you’d choose an uprising that failed to overthrow the Nazis, with many of the people involved dying in the attempt or dying in death camps shortly afterwards. The most of those that survived all of that immigrated to Israel or the US.

    I’m not sure what you’re saying your goal is when this is the analogy you choose.
