sorry 2 critique a classic but x files cases should be more balanced 50/50 between scully and mulder being right. like half of the time it really is pagan aliens from the core of the earth and the other half of the time scully rips off a mask to reveal the villain was a real estate agent trying to steal the deed to the zoo if not for those pesky feds

Participating in Dracula Daily has reminded me of how throughout the initial portions of the novel the Count repeatedly makes back-handed references to the fact that he’s a vampire, seemingly for absolutely no reason other than to fuck with Jonathan, and it’s strengthened my conviction that you can’t have a faithful modern adaptation of Stoker’s Dracula unless Dracula is just constantly spouting shitty vampire puns – which everyone around him unaccountably fails to pick up on – like a gaunt, bemoustached Hannibal Lecter.
