Still ridiculous they don't use those UV floodlights


Their only plan above ground was to send in a ton of police with regular guns. They deserved to lose this one.

We can assume their supply of UV lights is limited. Otherwise it's dumb as hell.

The plan was flawed, as soon as Fet knew where the nest was, they knew he knew.

Also, they should've known how long it would take Fet to get there, so there's no reason for him to get there after dark.

If it takes every hour of daylight for him to get there, then they should find a way to get him in closer. If it doesn't take that long, they should've sent him in sooner.

Even without anticipating the thousands of extra vampires, getting there after dark risks the whole plan because those vampires may have left the nest to go kill people once the sun set.

The UV light thing bothers me. How difficult can it be to find UV light sources? Why, when they're clearing the tunnels, are they not armed with UV lights? Instead, they slog through the tunnels having "munchers" pop up right in front of them. Also, why weren't the checkpoints flooded with UV lights? It just doesn't seem too difficult a resource to gather together and there's never been any kind of explanation about it. Like maybe that was also something Eldridge Palmer somehow "arranged" for...a shortage of UV lights. He did arrange to have the internet and communications clogged. In comparison, buying up the entire supply of UV lights on the East Coast doesn't seem that much more of a daunting task.

Good planning would give them no story to tel. Remember, this is a cheesy, stupid show. Lol

They use battery pack UV lights in the books which they carry in their back packs at all times. Silly they don't use them in the show.

How about:

It's still stupid no one wears protective clothing of any kind (or "armor") even when going out to intentionally fight the strigoi.

It's also stupid the cast is nowhere near as freaked out about those worms as I am.
