My problem with Spider Rose
The only Season 4 episode I liked was Spider Rose (it is actually a dramatic improvement on the source story). But there is one problem I can't ignore.
Here is the description of *Colonel Doctor* Jade Prime from Bruce Sterling's story:
"A Shaper's face appeared, one of the Oriental-based gene lines, smooth raven hair held back with jeweled pins, slim black eyebrows arched over dark eyes with the epicanthic fold, pale lips slightly curved in a charismatic smile. A smooth, clean actor's face with the glittering ageless eyes of a fanatic."
Shapers are the genetically perfected Übermensch counterparts to Spider Rose's cyborg Mechanist set. The two scientists in Swarm were Shapers. They are physically perfect (which is why Swarm wanted to breed a human caste of symbiotes with them), and their minds bred for high IQ to the point where some became hyperintelligent enough to be seriously unstable.
They were not jagged toothed scarfaced monstrosities like the Jade Prime of the episode.
My problem is this: the animators had such Hollywoodesque contempt for the IQ of their audience, that is, us, that they had to uglify Jade Prime so we would know him for a villain. Because he's ugly.
It irritates me out of all proportion, but there it is.

...I can't think why they even bothered to name this "Carmilla". Carmilla was an aristocrat, a Countess. This Carmilla is a slob. Carmilla was disturbing, enthralling, and frightening by turns. This Carmilla is just annoying. Carmilla fed on peasant girls while slowly draining Laura dry of her life forces. This Carmilla drinks blood in cartons. Carmilla was passionate. This Carmilla wouldn't know passion if it was handed to her on a plate. Add to that appalling acting, a script of which the less said the better, and a filmography centred around "Don't show, tell", and it's an insult to every lesbian vampire out there, and to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.

Have you watched any film with any of these following plot lines?
1. Isolated inbred rural community that murders strangers.
2. A group of people on a road trip who lost their way.
3. A slasher movie where the protagonists can't escape and are picked off one by one.
4. A final girl who somehow proves more tough and combat capable than men twice her size.
5. People being cut up for no discernible reason except that the plot wants them cut up.
You have? Congratulations! Now put them all in a blender, mix for a few chaotic seconds, turn down your lights as low as possible without actually being in darkness, and you have this film.
I must state that I gave up watching about 15 minutes from the end, actuated more by boredom than anything else, so I can't say if it was redeemed by startling originality in the last segment.
But I don't think so.
