    They really found their flow in this one. Isaac is controlled and creepy. Serif is an irritating, but lovable little sister. Fuego really knows how to use the power she has even at being so young very much ventrue. And Rey stays in character wonderfully and does not suddenly change when its bad for the character.

    I'm surprised nobody pointed this out, but I love Serif's distraction tactics. She always gets people to talk about their own stuff, and when asked about her own stuff she diverts the attention from it by asking more question about the other person, and it seems to work well, especially with isaac. I really can't wait to see all the skeletons she's hiding. She's clearly very smart and secretive.

    I loved this whole dialog with Annabelle on the second part, especially Ray and Isaac. Annabelle knows nothing about what is a True Camarilla. What the Los Angeles crew faced was a weak Court that fled San Diego and tried to stablish in Los Angeles. The Camarilla in NY is formed by a group of war veterans that fought the Sabbat on the 90's. It is for the best to let them rot in Manhatthan, messing with them is like poke a wasp nest.

    I love Isaac's practicality when Annabelle tries to stir up the Anarch 'down with the Camarilla!" spiel. "I can move. I don't have to fight." New York IS Camarilla territory and Panhard *is* fairly reasonable for a Prince. She's far from a LaCroix or a Vannevar.

    I really like Rey and Isaac pushing back against Annabelles agenda. For them this random person is coming from somewhere and tries to rally stuff up in a "calm" city and trying to incite a literal war based on her viewpoint. This will independent on what the Camarilla might have in store certainly affect the entire city and endanger all of them pretty much "just for the sake of it".
    Especially since they (as yet confirmed) have much less of a vested interesst in the anarchs continuing their rule than the LA crew had (ex Camarilla, undisputed Baron of the Valley, Jaspers Labyrinth). Annabelles entry in the ecosystem isnt really that much different to what Vannevar did and i really hope they keep on pushing this angle of not falling into line to her selfrightousness and questioning the moral highground that Annabelle views herself upon.
    Not yet getting warm to Fuego and Serif but we are afterall just in the third episode of a first season, so they will certainly be developing as characters by a lot.
    (just to make it clear so nobody confuses this, nothing of this is directed against the wonderfull actors we got this season again, but only against the fictional characters they portray)

I've seen people just like them quite a few times, so this whole setup to me is just as familiar as a bottle and a glass. I can tell you that this story is going to end in a lot of unhappy compromise between unhealthy backstabbing.
      Serif and Fuego will actually butt heads sooner or later whem her destructive side meets Fuego's prptective side.
      You can already see Isaac and Fuego hitting it off poorly
      Rey while absolutely making the party dislike him at first will actually be the one everyone can rely on. He's a prick, but he's a straight shooter. Either Fuego is gonna use Rey as a pawn or Rey is going to snap on her for manipulating him, and Rey is actually the most human out of the coterie, which is funny since he also was the first to drain a vessel.
      I'll be watching the coterie's relationship with bated breath. Watch for signs of betrayal early.

      I appreciate her role in the Anarchs home turf like LA vs Camirilla turf like NY, she does a good job of highlighting how/where the idealistic, existential vamps fit within the diff spaces of the various powers and the actress does a good job at portraying an idealistic activist whose turned into a vamp and how they rationalize and adapt their world view to it.

She had the ability to evolve as a character and stay in LA to make sure the free states don't deteriorate like they did under McNeil. Her self righteousness rubs people simply because she is a fledgling who spat college campus rethorics against beings decades or centuries her elder and everyone treated her like she is this saviour figure that the movement has been waiting for, when in fact brujah like her are what 90% of the clans modern embraces look like.

    51:58. Aabria is amazing at being super funny without detracting from the horror. She must have planned that one liner as soon as Jason described the NPC and she worked it in to the conversation in a delightfully funny and creepy way. She’s really shining this episode. Dare I say she’s on fuego.

    Seeing Alex act completely different with Erica than in LA is great. He truly looks and sounds like another person. This series has taken a bit more time to get into its groove, but I think it's finally hit its stride.
    Because Annabelle appeared and started talking about Victor, I stopped and watched the rest of LA by Night season 5. Definitely worth watching that whole series. I unfortunately only found it last year, but I am very happy I did. B Dave Walters as Victor was incredible. Alex as Jasper was great. Hope to see more familiar faces as this series progresses.

    I much prefer Annabelle when she's just being a person expressing sympathy towards those who have trauma and had been hurt and/or still hurting and need someone to talk to, because I can't take a lot of her politics seriously. Love to have Erika Ishii guest star though. I think as an actor for a polarizing character, she's able to keep her performance consistent.

      My guess is she's a high-functioning Sabbat. Richter's malkavian mentioned to Isaac "You aren't one of [the Sabbat], but they might be one of you." hinting to me that one of the coterie is Sabbat. Her conversations with her Beast aren't really argumentative and she hasn't disagreed or tried to reason away what her Beast is telling her to do, instead usually agreeing with it to some degree and even taking pride in what it tells her. She heavily considered killing that man in Richter's night club, and only decided not to because she "needed him", and here we see her pushing Rey to murder as well. We also know that until recently, New York was Sabbat territory and they were pushed out by the Camarilla...a strangely similar situation to mortal gentrifiers which she's shown to despise. I'm probably grasping at straws, but if I'm right she's playing it REALLY well.

      1. She lied about not knowing her sire or clan (she mentions in an earlier episode she didn't know what clan she was, and IIRC strongly implies she was Embraced and left to figure things out for herself. While in this episode she states she's Venture, mentions that she knows her sire (can't recall if she named them) but that they don't talk)
      2. She's always making a show of her power, constantly forcing her will on others. Whether that by be use of Dominate, or by making suggestions to others (e.g. asking Rey to "kill him for me")
      3. The only disciplines we've seen her use are Dominate and Presence, both of which are very common, but only found together as Ventrue disciplines. However...
      4. Both Dominate and Presence can be acquired with a character's Predator Types, and the way Fuego hunts suggests she's a Siren which would give her access to Presence

    The "will you kill him for me" is very Ventrue of her

    Good episode! I think a really cool cameo to have later in the show would be Christof Romuald, the protagonist of Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption. He is in New York near the end of the game, and it would be really cool to see a 800 year old Brujah.

      A Brujah less burdened by useless rebellion against the status quo.

    Every time for this series I have seen Alex Ward, and expected him to say he's playing Jasper. Even though I know he's now playing Isaac. Such a strong episode adding a bit of L.A flavor. Can't wait for more.

      I totally expected when Schreknet came up for him to say something like "I don't know, but Jasper would" or something like that.
