Dracula: When it comes to comparing this series to past iterations of Dracula, particularly when it comes to the character of Dracula, how would you describe your overall thoughts regarding this version of Dracula compared to the previous iterations? The Haunting of Bly Manor: I’m very much loving this season’s plot and characters, the only admittedly insignificant complaint that I’ve had thus far is that there hasn’t been a character on this season that I love or have gravitated towards like I loved and gravitated towards Shirley from the previous season, though I do have a soft spot for Jamie. As I recall Shirley was your favorite character from the last season as well, so I’m wondering do you feel the same way or is there a character on this season that you love as much as you loved Shirley, if so, who might that character be and what is it about said character that you particularly love? The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit: A thought popped into my head while rewatching these films with you: Do you think in The Hobbit Thorin was effected by the one ring in that it exacerbated the madness that was already there or do you think the cheese would have slid off his cracker regardless of whether or not Bilbo had the one ring with him? General horror movie question: I believe in the past you’ve said that you’ve seen The Wicker Man. Does that mean you’ve seen the original classic starring Sir Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward or does it mean you’ve seen the remake starring Nicolas Cage or have you seen both in which case which one did you see first and which version do you prefer?

This is perhaps more of a general Classic Who question, although prompted by the fact that you've been watching some stories with perhaps some of the stronger female characters of the era in, Miss Kelly in The Seeds of Death and Megan Jones in Fury From the Deep. So I wonder, generally, what you've made of the depiction of female characters in Classic Who so far? Whether it was roughly what you expected from the 1960s, or whether it was either better or worse than you'd anticipated? Or is it too varied from story-to-story to define any kind of pattern in that way?

So - Dracula, like Sherlock borrow a lot but also changes a lot from the source text. How much do you know about the Dracula story and from what sources/movies/shows, etc. What other portrayals of the Dracula character are you familiar with? For me, the swaggering, smirking confidence he has in this version reminds me more of James Bond than any version of Dracula I've seen before. What are your thoughts about the performance.? Finally, any predictions as to where they might go after the total curve-ball they throw at the end of Pt.2?
