At the beginning of the series , there was a pleasant whiff of Winchester vibes ) With Rita, doubts were finally dispelled (but this is not for sure, something was left muddy with Father Gleb - maybe it helps him somehow). And he is causing more and more suspicion - the amulet against the "bad" blood from the ebony tree was fitted to Valerka, the newly converted leech Artem somehow behaved strangely and ran away to the "solar death" very likely about the order of his stratelate (figs knows what father Gleb was mumbling while reading). In general, I continue to put on it as a stratilate (possibly a Hammer).
Oh yes, Winchester-rush-style)))) Rita will now have to turn into a stratilate to save her from death) Or vice versa, feed her to kill him) To get rid of Igor, it is necessary that the one killed by him came to life in the same way as the doctor)) The mode of waiting for the next series is activated!
@Kentavr: bad blood, remember how Sickle was allergic to Baba Nyura. They explained it in season 1, but I don't remember the details anymore. Valera was so convulsed by the approach of Leva. And the doctor was in a mystical coma, probably, since the priest could only beg him.
Oh, thank you. And then this question tormented me too. But it's not clear why Valera didn't get hooked on bad blood at the end of season 1, when she and Lev were still sitting?
@MasterGeo: Because season 1 was filmed based on the book, and there was no special emphasis on it except for the moment with baba Nyura and Beklya, only a stingy mention that leeches disdain such blood because it outlived the owner Well, that's another question, okay Lev, he's alone, but at least Veronica and others were on the tram, why didn't he get hooked in this case But because it's rubbish.
"Ritulyaya, not shaliiii"))) The colorful boy was chosen, of course, for this role) Beautifully looped with the "Petrel", I'm looking forward to the next series!)
@ReadGoodBooks: I liked the kid too! He plays well, and his intonation is very convincing. If she doesn't give up her acting career, I'm sure she'll achieve a lot.
"Ritulya! Don't be naughty." 🙂 Personally, I have no fewer questions about Rita. A steady sense of half-truth. Leukemia does not give an answer, how she pulled Igor out on the roof, how she suddenly disappears from sight at the right moment. Again, a relatively calm face (without screams, screams, grimaces), when Val wanted to bite her, and now this one is small. Alyoshin screamed and grimaces of horror were on his face when the little one bit him. From the very beginning, there is a feeling that all this is evil, for her an ordinary everyday life.The question is the same, Rita - who are you?
@apb48: Melky's last name is Ivochkin. It's a pity that it wasn't Inochkin, how much the director of the pioneer camp, Dynin, suffered from him at the time. :))) So, "Welcome, or No trespassing." :)
And most importantly, with leukemia, she should be frail and pale. And she waves her arms and legs cheerfully, and pulls a man off the roof. It doesn't seem to fit
Rita: I have leukemia, so they don't bite me. All the points that the scriptwriters themselves focused on, about her physical strength, skills, aggression, and the moon, which was shown immediately after she began to twist in her grandfather's house: Well, yes, well, fuck us...
@ann__W: or she calls her lycanthropy leukemia, and then slows down, "Oh, I got the terms mixed up." Well, or lycanthropy came after leukemia as an attempt to cure it, but it only managed to slow down the process, which is why Rita is so cheerful, strong and aggressive, and not crawling on her last legs. (That would be a perfectly satisfactory explanation, but I'm afraid the scriptwriters didn't bother that much)
So, and here's an unpopular (perhaps) opinion: this series is the break of everything. For me, it's the best in the season, or even in the whole series.
I'll start with the obvious - the Doctor and Leva steal every scene with their interaction. It really turned out some Hard Drives (or Van Helsing), but it's not bad - I would even watch a spin-off about them. And what the "battle scenes" look like... Holy water can still be predicted, but the whip is something new.Khlopov also added a dramatic line related to Valerka, now he really wants these two to be able to become friends (even if Lagunov does not believe that he can restrain himself all his life).
The declared father Pavel still sounds like "God from the machine" - if he was able to return the Doctor practically from the other world, then perhaps he can cure Rita, weaken the stratil, and assemble the stove (assuming that Father Gleb is muddy and it is impossible to give him the stove).
The scene at school was unexpected for me - events are developing unpredictably fast. It's only the fourth series in the yard, and already half the school has been turned either into leeches (so far only adults + Ivochkin), or into carcasses (poor Epikhin). The scene in the dressing room looked interesting, as well as the fact that for Ivochkin and stratilat, she is regarded as the "anchor" of Valery (also this strange "you will definitely convince him" - they seem to know nothing, it is unlikely that her appeal will affect him more than the death of Nastya or the appeal of Igor and parents), and the move with the military instructor turned out to be a cool shifter.
@Black-Winchester: I highly doubt that this is the intention, but for me personally, the whip is a curtsy to the Belmont clan, who have been wandering to Dracula's castle for adventures for generation after generation (Castlevania game series).
@Black-Winchester: about the spin-off: I've already posted an application on the topic of hunting Vali and Leva on Facebook and I'm looking for brave souls on Twitter who will write. Go to the waiting room or to the scribes.
And now about Rita. I like active heroines, so I was on her side from the very beginning (I repent). And this series is something from the point of view of its disclosure. The scene with Valerka's confession made a big impression on me personally (and yes, the whole series was created by romantic vibe), I didn't even consider leukemia as an option. But now everything looks more or less logical. The aggression is explained by anger at the fact that she has little left to live, the "bad blood" and bleeding are due to illness, the loss is due to the desire to keep everything a secret and not worry the children ahead of time, the move is due to the grandmother's hope for healing. As for the remaining doubts, perhaps this is just a product of the fact that for a long time there was a growing assumption that she was a werewolf, and therefore, when another version was given, she did not want to believe in it. For example, strength - yes, Rita is sick, but she a) wants to live brightly, even if not for long, and therefore tends not to take care of her health, and b) did gymnastics. Specific skills and influence on the moon are only indirect hints so far, which can be explained by artistry. I do NOT deny the doubts that arise: perhaps Rita is actually a werewolf, and the doctors tried to medically substantiate her diagnosis (they could not say, "you know, it seems you are a werewolf"). Or maybe the creators didn't work out very well what a person with leukemia looks like (or didn't describe the specifics in enough detail - acute or chronic, etc.)
@Black-Winchester: Rita still did not answer the question: what did Father Gleb tell her about this disease? (Or maybe he did.) If it was all explained by banal leukemia, would it make sense to try to keep it quiet? In general, the truth has so far been revealed by half, and maybe less. And there can be a lot of options. From the banal that she's going to die soon, to the more unpredictable. For example, that the same Gleb is connected with the Stratate and they will help her heal if she helps the Stratate with Valera. That's why she insinuates herself into Valera's confidence so much. Or maybe there is no leukemia at all, or else it's just an excuse to win over Valera so that he feels sorry? (Although there is a scene where she spits out blood, like her gums are bleeding.) Thus, so far it is difficult to evaluate the information that has been given in this series. It may be true, or it may be a ploy to twist the plot.
@lexastaw: Yes, it confused me too. Maybe he did something, but it's strange that it doesn't seem to help her. In any case, the leukemia storyline itself seems like a cool plot move to me, even if it's not the whole truth - a good detective is a good detective, he doesn't reveal all the cards at once.
@Black-Winchester: You are not alone. I also watch the series solely because of Rita. And I don't see anything to be on her side, there's no need to repent)) It would be boring without her.
Leva and Vasily Sergeyevich definitely made this series, such an action game!
Of course, it turned out very sad with Rita, we were hoping for a werewolf, but as a result, leukemia. But where does the wolf in the screensaver come from? Maybe this is not the end of the story? And Rita hadn't finished her story to Valera when Igor came to pick them up.
Anastasia can easily become a wolf, because we didn't see her funeral at all and we were shown just the fact of the cross and the grave. They will make a raft twist and on the full moon she will be reborn and will start to nightmare them too.
@annao: to be honest, I also believe in this, because it has long been proven that a scratch / bite from a werewolf can be treated Since they have encroached on the subject of the supernatural, then this must be a canonical event that cannot be prevented in any way.
Moreover, if the scriptwriters dig into Slavic or other mythologies, there are many such examples. The same Volokolamsk, as an example, if you don't think too much.
@annao: Then how can we explain the phenomenon of Anastasia Valerka in the hospital? In general, if Anastasia is resurrected in one form or another, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
@Jarven: Nastya's appearance in the hospital may just be a vision of Valera, the part of him that reaches out to the light and conscience, trying to fight for Valera's life.
Give "Ivochkin" an Oscar already, I can't start with this kid))) It's really interesting to watch Tribuntsev, they prescribed great lines for him.
I liked that the speakers didn't have to wait long, and the 3 and 4 series are just exciting. It's not clear from Lore, are there any werewolves in this story after all?)) It didn't become clearer to me why a girl with cancer has so much strength to throw healthy boys away. And the fact that she asked to remove the cross was emphasized. Is that for nothing? I'm still not guessing, just looking. And so far I like it.
These knocks on the door at the climax of the conversation are pretty much in the cinema, to be honest.
Did it seem to anyone that another actress was playing Baba Nyura?
@s7ntn: I love negative characters that evoke an emotional response. The actor "Ivochkin" was probably inspired by the image of Joffrey from "Games of Thrones") sometimes I really want to prescribe a pendel for him.
@s7ntn: Damn, it just dawned on me right now that it was Tribuntsev. And I still can't figure out why I'm so excited about his game. I haven't seen him in a hundred years, I've already forgotten)
I liked that Rita's secret wasn't supernatural. I think they didn't let her answer that Father Gleb told her to keep the intrigue alive, whether she would die and how quickly.
Although there are still a lot of questions. And Father Gleb is still muddy. It's very likely that he's a stratelate after all - how he and leech looked at each other, how he ran away and burned super fast, how he didn't want the doctor to go into the house.
A funny move with a horror story and how it changed the events of the first season.
I didn't like the return of the plagiarized music(
The infection in the trailer is now clear who is the second Stratelate But I hope I'm wrong 😭 And I wanted to review the first season, which I'm going to do right now. 😈
The doctor in the role of a vampire hunter is just the most relish. He's so careful, circumspect, sarcastic, and he's clearly added color to the series. Leva was a little lacking for me, he flashes somewhere in the background for half of the episode. I was really looking forward to their dialogue with Valerka after a long separation. It's a pity that it turned out to be so short. I hope they will interact more often and finally really become friends, although they are always unlucky from the first season, because one of them always arrives in the "phase" of the vampire. It was clear from the last episode that a witch hunt would be announced for Korzukhin. Now I wonder if Plotkin will be sewn on by the end of this season to solve this problem and reunite with his beloved.
A very cool scene in the wardrobe, it reminded me of childhood and a game of hide-and-seek. Ivochkin is very good, I hope to see the actor somewhere else. The guy takes every second of screen time.
The best episode so far. The Doctor is a bit of a van Helsing, a bit of a Winchester and a bit of a Belmont. And, of course, the kid who chased Rita around the locker room played just amazing.
The Doctor and Leva as Russian Hard Drives are certainly super. It was fun to figure out leeches for bad blood. And the kid plays really well. "Rituous". He's a talented child actor. But it seems to me that everything is not so simple with this Rita and Father Gleb anyway. I feel it's not through prayer that he heals everyone, but through blood. Mine. He knows all about vampires, bad blood, and the stratelates. There is an idea that he told Rita that he would help save himself from the disease by converting her. And for this, it is necessary that she ingratiate herself. On the other hand, then the leeches wouldn't have given her a dirty trick in the locker room. Although maybe this is already a personal initiative and they were not privy to the plans.
And I was also infuriated by wooden Valerka for 3 episodes, and then I thought that all vampires become "crushed" without feelings, as it were) I don't remember what it was like in season 1, but here +/- everyone is like that. So that was probably the purpose of the actor's acting.
@ZemlyaT: one can, of course, explain his woodenness by the fact that he always wants to eat and tries not to devour anyone, but I do not know how much of this is wooden, but how much effort the actor makes to play. I mean, I don't want it to be a stupidly bad game for Natarov, he showed great promise last season.
My personal top 3 scenes of the first four episodes.
No. 3 - Rita and Artyom at a meeting (second episode). For the first time, Rita's face is shown in close-up, and even in a "seductively romantic" perspective and light.
No. 2 - Rita and Valerka in class (beginning of the third episode). Rita's face is shown up close in normal light, but not for long (plans and tricks are constantly changing).
No. 1 - Ivochkin vs. Rita (beginning of the 4th episode). Rita's face throughout the whole scene is something incredible here. Transitions from anger to regret, disgust, and horror- dear Mom. Finally, you can really enjoy the beautiful gray or steel-gray color of Rita's eyes.
And now questions for Rita about these and not only these scenes. There are spoilers!!!
Rita is at the meeting. Val went to wander on even before Rita told Artyom to take off the cross. What happened next? I doubt that Rita didn't realize that Artyom would pester her, so why did she tell her to take off the cross? And anyway, what's wrong with a guy wearing a cross (what, was it just such a rarity at that time?) And most importantly, after Artyom took off the cross, did she just take it and leave, i.e. dynamite it after giving in? And where does he go, completely out of the apartment or where? If she went home, how did she end up on the roof? If it's just next to the entrance, when did you get to the roof? If she stayed in the entrance next to the apartment, how did she even hear and understand that something had happened and how did she hide from Igor, who ran out through the entrance? In addition, there was the pursuit of the stratelate on the roofs at first. And if she was still staying next to Artyom (according to the timing, nothing had passed there at all), did she witness the attack of the stratelate? Is it the same in the hospital - does she bring the child into the office, comes out, sees that there are no children, and just goes home, because she allegedly felt sick? There's one more question, by the way - Val and Igor come out of the hospital basement in the late evening or at night, although according to the timeline they came in during the day. Have you been running around the basements for at least half a day?
Rita and Valerka in class. Once again, it's Rita who comes up with the idea of what can be done next. She was also the one who came up with the idea with Father Gleb. And it was she who discovered Ivochkin's first leech. And I also remembered about Alyoshin that he hadn't been bitten yet. Rita, are you the engine of the plot or who? What's your interest in what's going on if you supposedly weren't familiar with vampires? Ivochkin vs. Rita. Personally, it just seemed to me that at the moment when Ivochkin says, "lock her up.later with her," Rita somehow looked at Ivochkin in a special way. It was hardly an order, since he chased after her afterwards. And this statement by Ivochkin that she will be able to influence Valerka, what is it based on? If this confidence came from Rita's problem, which was known in advance to the stratelat, and the alleged request to Valerka to bite someone in order to somehow save her (Rita) (the simplest option is to "persuade" Valera, see the end of the first season), then Ivochkin would hardly have tried to bite Rita? Another oddity is the scene with Pashchenko. Why did he really need Rita, because the military instructor saw that her hand was covered in blood only at home. Did he just see one normal girl and decide to at least save her from school? Or maybe he actually guessed or knew that she was important to vampires and took her hostage to buy her off if necessary? Rita Valerke's confession. Rita's voiced problem, in fact, basically implies an early death, IMHO, there is nothing unexpected if Father Gleb said that she could not be cured or would not have long to live. So he said that someone needed a sacrifice to save her? Specifically, apparently, Valerka, so Rita moves the plot with might and main. And yet, during Rita's confession, Valerka extended his hand to her for support, but Rita did not accept it, which seems to hint...
I do not exclude that everything is much simpler to explain, and it was the scriptwriters who deliberately cast more shadows on the fence to make it more mysterious. Or maybe I have too much imagination.
@Jarven: It occurred to me that if Rita asked for the blood of a Stratelate, then this ancient creature, which is transmitted through blood, would die in it. Perhaps this should be done on the stove to weaken the enemy, which means it is important for Gleb's father, who wants to find the stove, and for the military instructor, who pretended to know nothing about the stove.
@KatrinVamp: My respect, your imagination is richer than mine)) And as another option, what if not Rita, but Val asks for the blood of another stratelate, such a situation does not seem to be provided for in the ENT yet)))
@Jarven: this is just a guess, but what if Rita ran away from Artyom because of her illness, too? She felt sick, she left under that pretext, and when she felt better, she saw Igor and ran to the roof - it sounds logical.
@Jarven: That's why I wrote "when she got better.".. But actually, yes, the questions haven't gone away, I'm just trying to justify many points without admixture of the supernatural. I really want to blame the inconsistencies on the laziness of the screenwriter, and not on Rita's betrayal/lycanthropy.
@Black-Winchester: Yes, you have to keep in mind that the simplest explanation is laziness or an oversight of the scriptwriters. I just don't want to think like that, I want it to be more interesting.
My viewing always starts briskly. I've been asleep since the middle of the episode. It feels strange. I think I watched the episode, but it seems that something is missing. Is the series good?
@subnitrate: Well, they showed the 3.5 series school and that's enough - classrooms, a toilet, a storage room and a place under the stairs The camp is more interesting from the visual side.
@Amely: Such assumptions have already been made in the comments to previous episodes. This option cannot be completely ruled out yet, but most likely, the stratelate is some kind of character from horror stories (if with a minimum of spoilers).
@Jarven: if we think in this direction, then the variations are the supposedly dead Hammer, Valerka's brother, Artyom's grandfather who fell out, or even the buried Anastasia (that would be a twist).
I haven't watched season 1, but I've read the book. If you remove all the screams that everything was wrong in it, because season 2 seems to be an independent work, then it seems that this season either contradicts the lore of this universe, or expands it. How many stratigraphs can there be if leeches do the main job of delivering blood, and moreover, I wouldn't be surprised if, despite their "depravity," they can respond to the call of the most important thing
Oh, so many thoughts and emotions from the series: Valerka's doom, Rita's poisoned blood, Gleb's father's ambiguity, some very ancient stratolate. I don't like Veronica's line, it feels like it's not real, suddenly appears in Igor, and disappears as well. Not a girl, but a guide. Either that's how the story is meant to be, or the scriptwriters couldn't fit it in clearly. The vampire's death didn't go very far-it was a stupid claim, of course, but they could at least have screamed. And in general, his death is needed purely for demonstration. Rita's secret has been revealed and now it is possible to assume that they will try to poison her blood stratylate. But it's still a pity that he's not a werewolf. You're giving me fleas! Leva and Valerka - it's a pity that it didn't work out. Father Gleb is still unclear. Suddenly, the action scenes at the beginning of the episode came in - Valentin Sergeevich, my respects to your whip. I want a spin-off where they ride around the country with Lefty and destroy vampires. And most importantly, we returned to where it all began. Home, sweet home. Oh, I continue to languish in anticipation of new turns.
@Mrs_Tenn_Simm: Ah! Well, it seems that in the end all the "guest stars" are just to show that you are watching, they say, we have money for Steklov, Kurkova, Simonova, and the rest. More of a distraction, the expectation that they were not invited to "empty" roles. And in the end, the main "adult" star is Tribuntsev.
@Mrs_Tenn_Simm: As for Veronica, I give you a plus. Some kind of completely plastic heroine, but in the first season she was bright and lively. I hope they beat it, and not just couldn't write it.
@ameliap: In general, it can be straight drama-drama. In the first season, Veronica was a leech. I just can't remember if she turned Plotkin into a carcass or not (it needs to be reviewed). But I remember him saying in the first season about Veronica, "I serve her like I serve my homeland." This season, the roles have generally changed diametrically - now she serves him, and he pushes her around. Wtf, why such a transformation?
@Сериальщик732: I won't say that they took the editor off the branch, but sometimes the feelings are similar.😂
Valerka: turn around, Igor *hop* Igor opens up to Veronica
I think they're trying to keep the momentum going, but sometimes it turns out to be too stupid and even. It's not the first time I've noticed exactly what Igor often has in common. It's like he's falling into his own head, where the apartment and Veronica are.
@Сериальщик732: If we're going to dig into the timing, it's not the first scene like this. The rooftop chase after the session - Igor managed to go downstairs, climb up somewhere and get on the roof, when Valerka and stratelat freely jump on the roofs of different houses. Going to the hospital - we went in during the day, left in the dead of night, although there was a maximum of 15 minutes to do there. The pursuit of the military instructor is the same - why should we, the audience, show how Val languishes for 5 minutes and waits for his comrades at the exit, when you can skip the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If Rita really has leukemia, then according to the plot she will need to kill Stratelate and become like Valera herself now, and the issue with the disease is resolved. Anyone can be a stratolater, I don't even want to guess, I'll just watch, I like it)
@Jarven: I know it's only been a while since her death (3 full episodes), but I can't stop sipping Rita and Valerka - they have some kind of romantic vibe. Pamagiti, because I feel very awkward...
@Black-Winchester: From the very first appearance of Rita, I thought that she would be the third in their relationship, but the creators decided to destroy the triangle without even starting it.
Leva slowly and hesitantly approaches Valera, his eyelashes flutter frequently. Valera looks up at him with her clear blue eyes and finally sees him, not the bad blood.
and no, this is not fan fiction, but literally a scene from the TV series screaming like a bitch.
@Keiptaun: What a great peyring! At this moment, I remember the fan fiction writer from "It's time to get out": "and then they kissed, and then (further in meaning)..."
I watched season 1, and noticed that they didn't show us Matvey's death, but only how he writhed in the cell from hunger. Theoretically, he could have survived by eating a snack when the guards or a doctor came running to the scream. And the priests severed Nyura's connection with him by dipping Nyura into holy water.
Perhaps this Rita became someone (like a werewolf) in order to recover from the disease, and this Gleb helped in this. Hence super strength, agility, and so on. She just didn't finish the truth and only said the first part about the disease. …
@littlebusinka: I want to believe it, but they're lying. Dexterity can be explained by some super herbs from the healer that give strength. Or some kind of release of adrenaline into the bloodstream gives such a reaction. In short, mysticism was merged into a disease... Hurtful
Hurray! Finally, a series that I liked) The third one wasn't bad either, but this one is really good. Leukemia was quite expected, but I think it's not over, and something else is hiding. Rita's grandma is weird and creepy. I thought for a moment that the Stratagem might be the blonde with whom Igor had the goosebumps, but this is probably my crazy)) The Doctor and Lyova are a mess. I also want a spin-off about them, I think he would have shot. Leva and Valera are a broken heart. I hope they can be friends.
There are a lot of questions about the series, of course, about the plot and more. But it's interesting to watch it, so somehow I don't even find fault. But, as a former Samaritan, I want to take a shower. Why is the city mentioned several times, but it is not in the visual at all? Smolensk is so cool in the vampires of the middle lane, but here it doesn't smell like the Volga atmosphere at all. Of course, it doesn't really matter, but I'm sad, I was waiting for at least some kind of reference.
@NesmYu: The pioneer camp was filmed in the Tver region. The school is in season 2 in Noginsk, Moscow region. From Samara, only the name and that former one is Kuibyshev. It's a pity that it's such a beautiful city.
Damn, I really hoped Rita would turn out to be a werewolf...and now it's just going to be merged. Or they will turn into a vampire and they and Valerka will run around camps and schools devouring children. Either they feed her with the blood of this great and terrible Stratelate first, and then they turn her. I'm upset.
Vibes of very strange things are being thrown into Nostalgia. I like the nra. I remembered World War z with Brad Pitt, where the dead didn't bite dudes with cancer. I immediately thought that she probably had it too. It is logical to make such a turn. We're waiting for what's next
The whole episode kept me in suspense. I am very glad that many secrets began to be revealed, and I finally understood what was wrong with Rita. I was really glad to see Leva and Valentin Sergeyevich. I just don't understand at all what Veronica and Plotkin are for, it seems to me that they are superfluous this season, or I hope that they will somehow prove themselves and help. Petya Natarov's game is kind of too tedious, I understand that the character's fate is not ice, but with the lack of emotions they completely overdid it, he seems to be inanimate. This season, the atmosphere is completely different, quite creepy. I've missed camp so much that I'm looking forward to the next episode.
@Sanyshkaaa: so he is, in a sense, inanimate... But in general, according to the facts, a brick face gets a little bored 90% of the time, although it looks logical (surprisingly, in one fourth episode, Valerka showed more emotions than in the three previous episodes). In general, I would like to see his smile at least at the end of the series (if Lagunov does become human).
@Black-Winchester: I agree about the smile. It bothered me too that he was always so sadly tense. But on the other hand, it's logical. Apparently they're just used to other vampires with fangs, who are always quite happy) But here the vampires were beaten in a different way.
I'm probably the most flustered here, but I watched season 1 and there Veronica shows Igor that Sasha is her carcass and is subject to her, forcing him to hold a glass of boiling tea in his hand. And in the second season, Sasha burns Veronica with tea. A coincidence? Nika can't be a carcass, she must have bad blood in her!
@KatrinVamp: He not only burns her, he generally pushes her around, and she's quiet, I don't understand why the roles have changed so much. Unless Veronica has PTSD? But it's unlikely that Plotkin is a leech or a stratylate.
@KatrinVamp: Oh, and I'll add more. It was written in the comments that Valerka became wooden. That's how he became wooden in the last minutes of season 1, after he took the blood of a stratelate. His behavior noticeably changes to passive-aggressive, and then he seems to restrain himself.
A subjective list of all or almost all the issues accumulated in the middle of the season, in approximate descending order of importance. I understand perfectly well that some questions will never be answered, and some will turn out to be stupid by the eighth episode.
H. 1/2 Who is the Stratylate? What are his strengths and weaknesses? Due to what exactly does it have capabilities that exceed Valerkins (the number of leeches drunk, antiquity, and more)? Are there any levels of hierarchy in this ent above the stratylate? Who were his leeches before that? What does he really want from Val, why does he want to drink blood, what's the catch? How did he even find out about Valerka - with his seventh or eighth sense or something else? What does he want in general? Why did you become active only now, earlier, what prevented you from gathering an army? Why or why did he kill (and did he kill?) Anastasia? Was it a trick for Val, or something else? In what way, how long does he keep track of Val? How did I end up or find out about Artyom's session, how did I bite Ivochkin in the middle of a party? How did he bite the teacher and Martynova, and where did he do it? Is there any connection with the church bombings or with the holy fathers? Is there any connection with the Hammer and Sickle? Is there any connection with military officer Pashchenko (presumably his descendant)? Does he know about Rita, does he use her openly or covertly? If he knows, how did he know? How, being semi-corporeal (or in the form of a ghost?), does it tolerate direct daylight? In what time period was Sasha trapped in the catacombs - before or after the artifact slab in the church, the former temple of vampires? The notorious slab is an artifact, is Gleb's father's story about it true or not? Why did military instructor Pashchenko have as many as three fragments of the slab? How many fragments are there in total, seven (two from the hospital, three from the military commander, mentioned by Valera as "the remaining two") or more? How did Val determine that there were only two pieces left?
Tsch. 2/2 Val, what does he even think about his new life? Was he going to drink Igor's expressed blood every month for who knows how many years? And which of them is the author of this idea? Why did the sight of the cross that Igor handed to Rita before entering the meeting have no effect on Val?
Rita, who is she really? What is he trying to achieve or wants? Why did she actually disappear in a number of incidents? What are its capabilities really? If she allegedly did not know about vampires and the stratelate before, then how can she influence Valerka, how does Ivochkin know this? Does she have any earthly or mystical connection with Val? What did Father Gleb tell her, and how much can you believe in her stories? Rita's grandmother, who really is?
Igor, is everything okay with him, what are the causes and sources of his psychological stability? His blonde girlfriend- who is she anyway, what's the connection with Igor? Where did she get Igor's honest confession from?
Plotkin and Nesvetova, why have their roles changed, why is Nesvetova submissive to Plotkin? Why did they continue their relationship at all, theoretically they could have broken up? Does Veronica remember that she was a leech? And what about the memory of leeches, like there were hints of surprises on this topic?
Valentin Sergeevich and Leva Khlopov, how did they find other stratigraphs? How did you find out about Anastasia's death and quickly returned to Samara? What is the secret of the fishing net, consecrated in the church or what? How did they manage to eliminate the stratigraves with the available set of weapons, were they dragged into the white light for burning, or how? How did they manage to hide the evidence of the elimination of the stratigraves from the investigation (if they were not dragged into the white light)?
Where is the investigation, where is the police? Why didn't the police and the others have any questions for Valerka when Anastasia was killed (he was hiding for three days)? Why didn't the police have any questions for Valerka, Igor and Rita when Artyom's grandfather jumped out of the window? Why didn't the police have any questions for anyone when Artyom disappeared from the morgue? Why didn't they notify Artyom's grandfather that Artyom was in the morgue?
@Jarven: it occurred to me (speaking of hierarchy) that they could pull off the same thing as it was in teen wolf: a werewolf who has never killed a human becomes a true alpha (which is one step higher, cooler, stronger, etc., than ordinary alphas - who also "patronize" betas and omegas). suddenly, the stratelate forces Valerka to drink blood, because he does not want him to become stronger than him and be able, for example, to deal with him or simply seize power (especially considering that they obviously have different ideologies and views on vampire life)
I don't pretend to anything, the idea is within the framework of overclocking and a small hypothesis that came up when reading your comment :)
@Rendall: Any hypotheses are welcome) I'm also leaning towards something like that. Tomorrow, I hope, we will understand what the scriptwriters have in store for us.
There's one thing I don't understand. Why did Sergushina get killed?... It's on the cover of the season (( I suspect that in the end, the MB will be alive.
It is already clear that this is Father Gleb, which is why he wanted to stay one-on-one with the leech, and then inspired him to run outside. And he "cures" everyone from incurable diseases, turning them into leeches, but he couldn't cure Rita because her blood was tainted. And he obviously doesn't need a stove to save the world. After all, he says that he cures everyone with prayer, but he doesn't have a single icon in his house, only candles and it's unclear what kind of books.
Every time I see Rita: THE JACKET FROM "YOURS"!! Lugunov's hairstyle is too stylish for the 80s. Okay, Val's parents are leeches, the assistant rents a hut for a salary. But is that where he goes at night?!
One question torments me: does Leva have any parents at all? why is he traveling around the country killing vampires with some guy instead of going to school in the 9th grade?!?!
What is the connection between an army and eternal life or invincibility? I hope they won't forget to explain. And why didn't this ancient one do anything like that before.. Blade explained it logically, for example. Leukemia is an elegant option, it's good here!
@grih9: this is from folklore, roughly speaking - the house was under the protection of ancestors / faith / etc. (depending on where the beliefs came from), so any evil spirits cannot enter without an invitation.
But in my opinion, they went too far with pathos. Especially with this whip. I also have a lot of questions about the logic of what is happening. There's a huge difference between the first and second seasons. Although they are united by the uneven speed of what is happening - sometimes they pull, then everything changes in a second. In the first, supernatural strength and speed were not so clearly shown all season, and in the second, they just shove it out of place. But when it was necessary to catch up with the car with Rita, Valera apparently forgot about the superspeed, he tried to catch up in a human way. I can't even believe about the doctor – he was such a coward who only felt sorry for himself, but at the end of the first season he overcame, and then he's already a cool vampire hunter. Lev is also unclear why he suddenly travels with him, and does not go to school, where his parents are looking, as they have already written here.😂 And why did this vampire immediately burst into flames? Until now, when the symbols were removed from them, it just started to get hot. There are a lot of questions.
Discussion: Season 2, Episode 4 Join the Discussion
181With Rita, doubts were finally dispelled (but this is not for sure, something was left muddy with Father Gleb - maybe it helps him somehow). And he is causing more and more suspicion - the amulet against the "bad" blood from the ebony tree was fitted to Valerka, the newly converted leech Artem somehow behaved strangely and ran away to the "solar death" very likely about the order of his stratelate (figs knows what father Gleb was mumbling while reading). In general, I continue to put on it as a stratilate (possibly a Hammer).
Rita will now have to turn into a stratilate to save her from death) Or vice versa, feed her to kill him)
To get rid of Igor, it is necessary that the one killed by him came to life in the same way as the doctor))
The mode of waiting for the next series is activated!
He kind of died, but he didn't seem to die. I still didn't know if he was dead or not.
With Rita, it became a little clearer, but still quite cloudy. Clinical death, leukemia, trauma, which is not accidental, Father Gleb, who said something. At this moment, something somehow just blew a scene from "Twilight", where "- I know who you are!— Say Bello, say vocally!— You're a GHOUL!" © and, as always, at the most crucial moment, there was a knock on the door.
But somehow it also seems to me that Rita's leukemized blood will be the main weapon against the raging stratilate. Only how to feed him to her, if the autoblock turns on there, that's the question. Don't arrange a blood transfusion.
And I also didn't understand a little, what kind of "bad blood" does Leva have? Is it because he was a leech? Like it's not weathering?
But it's not clear why Valera didn't get hooked on bad blood at the end of season 1, when she and Lev were still sitting?
Well, that's another question, okay Lev, he's alone, but at least Veronica and others were on the tram, why didn't he get hooked in this case
But because it's rubbish.
Beautifully looped with the "Petrel", I'm looking forward to the next series!)
Personally, I have no fewer questions about Rita. A steady sense of half-truth. Leukemia does not give an answer, how she pulled Igor out on the roof, how she suddenly disappears from sight at the right moment. Again, a relatively calm face (without screams, screams, grimaces), when Val wanted to bite her, and now this one is small. Alyoshin screamed and grimaces of horror were on his face when the little one bit him. From the very beginning, there is a feeling that all this is evil, for her an ordinary everyday life.The question is the same, Rita - who are you?
All the points that the scriptwriters themselves focused on, about her physical strength, skills, aggression, and the moon, which was shown immediately after she began to twist in her grandfather's house: Well, yes, well, fuck us...
Well, or lycanthropy came after leukemia as an attempt to cure it, but it only managed to slow down the process, which is why Rita is so cheerful, strong and aggressive, and not crawling on her last legs.
(That would be a perfectly satisfactory explanation, but I'm afraid the scriptwriters didn't bother that much)
I'll start with the obvious - the Doctor and Leva steal every scene with their interaction. It really turned out some Hard Drives (or Van Helsing), but it's not bad - I would even watch a spin-off about them. And what the "battle scenes" look like... Holy water can still be predicted, but the whip is something new.Khlopov also added a dramatic line related to Valerka, now he really wants these two to be able to become friends (even if Lagunov does not believe that he can restrain himself all his life).
The declared father Pavel still sounds like "God from the machine" - if he was able to return the Doctor practically from the other world, then perhaps he can cure Rita, weaken the stratil, and assemble the stove (assuming that Father Gleb is muddy and it is impossible to give him the stove).
The scene at school was unexpected for me - events are developing unpredictably fast. It's only the fourth series in the yard, and already half the school has been turned either into leeches (so far only adults + Ivochkin), or into carcasses (poor Epikhin). The scene in the dressing room looked interesting, as well as the fact that for Ivochkin and stratilat, she is regarded as the "anchor" of Valery (also this strange "you will definitely convince him" - they seem to know nothing, it is unlikely that her appeal will affect him more than the death of Nastya or the appeal of Igor and parents), and the move with the military instructor turned out to be a cool shifter.
As for the remaining doubts, perhaps this is just a product of the fact that for a long time there was a growing assumption that she was a werewolf, and therefore, when another version was given, she did not want to believe in it. For example, strength - yes, Rita is sick, but she a) wants to live brightly, even if not for long, and therefore tends not to take care of her health, and b) did gymnastics. Specific skills and influence on the moon are only indirect hints so far, which can be explained by artistry. I do NOT deny the doubts that arise: perhaps Rita is actually a werewolf, and the doctors tried to medically substantiate her diagnosis (they could not say, "you know, it seems you are a werewolf"). Or maybe the creators didn't work out very well what a person with leukemia looks like (or didn't describe the specifics in enough detail - acute or chronic, etc.)
In general, the truth has so far been revealed by half, and maybe less.
And there can be a lot of options. From the banal that she's going to die soon, to the more unpredictable. For example, that the same Gleb is connected with the Stratate and they will help her heal if she helps the Stratate with Valera. That's why she insinuates herself into Valera's confidence so much. Or maybe there is no leukemia at all, or else it's just an excuse to win over Valera so that he feels sorry? (Although there is a scene where she spits out blood, like her gums are bleeding.)
Thus, so far it is difficult to evaluate the information that has been given in this series. It may be true, or it may be a ploy to twist the plot.
Of course, it turned out very sad with Rita, we were hoping for a werewolf, but as a result, leukemia. But where does the wolf in the screensaver come from? Maybe this is not the end of the story? And Rita hadn't finished her story to Valera when Igor came to pick them up.
Since they have encroached on the subject of the supernatural, then this must be a canonical event that cannot be prevented in any way.
It's really interesting to watch Tribuntsev, they prescribed great lines for him.
I liked that the speakers didn't have to wait long, and the 3 and 4 series are just exciting. It's not clear from Lore, are there any werewolves in this story after all?)) It didn't become clearer to me why a girl with cancer has so much strength to throw healthy boys away. And the fact that she asked to remove the cross was emphasized. Is that for nothing?
I'm still not guessing, just looking. And so far I like it.
These knocks on the door at the climax of the conversation are pretty much in the cinema, to be honest.
Did it seem to anyone that another actress was playing Baba Nyura?
Although there are still a lot of questions. And Father Gleb is still muddy. It's very likely that he's a stratelate after all - how he and leech looked at each other, how he ran away and burned super fast, how he didn't want the doctor to go into the house.
A funny move with a horror story and how it changed the events of the first season.
I didn't like the return of the plagiarized music(
But I hope I'm wrong 😭
And I wanted to review the first season, which I'm going to do right now. 😈
Leva was a little lacking for me, he flashes somewhere in the background for half of the episode. I was really looking forward to their dialogue with Valerka after a long separation. It's a pity that it turned out to be so short. I hope they will interact more often and finally really become friends, although they are always unlucky from the first season, because one of them always arrives in the "phase" of the vampire.
It was clear from the last episode that a witch hunt would be announced for Korzukhin. Now I wonder if Plotkin will be sewn on by the end of this season to solve this problem and reunite with his beloved.
Ivochkin is very good, I hope to see the actor somewhere else. The guy takes every second of screen time.
I would even watch a spin-off.
I don't remember what it was like in season 1, but here +/- everyone is like that. So that was probably the purpose of the actor's acting.
I mean, I don't want it to be a stupidly bad game for Natarov, he showed great promise last season.
No. 3 - Rita and Artyom at a meeting (second episode).
For the first time, Rita's face is shown in close-up, and even in a "seductively romantic" perspective and light.
No. 2 - Rita and Valerka in class (beginning of the third episode).
Rita's face is shown up close in normal light, but not for long (plans and tricks are constantly changing).
No. 1 - Ivochkin vs. Rita (beginning of the 4th episode).
Rita's face throughout the whole scene is something incredible here. Transitions from anger to regret, disgust, and horror- dear Mom. Finally, you can really enjoy the beautiful gray or steel-gray color of Rita's eyes.
And now questions for Rita about these and not only these scenes. There are spoilers!!!
Rita is at the meeting. Val went to wander on even before Rita told Artyom to take off the cross. What happened next? I doubt that Rita didn't realize that Artyom would pester her, so why did she tell her to take off the cross? And anyway, what's wrong with a guy wearing a cross (what, was it just such a rarity at that time?) And most importantly, after Artyom took off the cross, did she just take it and leave, i.e. dynamite it after giving in? And where does he go, completely out of the apartment or where? If she went home, how did she end up on the roof? If it's just next to the entrance, when did you get to the roof? If she stayed in the entrance next to the apartment, how did she even hear and understand that something had happened and how did she hide from Igor, who ran out through the entrance? In addition, there was the pursuit of the stratelate on the roofs at first. And if she was still staying next to Artyom (according to the timing, nothing had passed there at all), did she witness the attack of the stratelate? Is it the same in the hospital - does she bring the child into the office, comes out, sees that there are no children, and just goes home, because she allegedly felt sick? There's one more question, by the way - Val and Igor come out of the hospital basement in the late evening or at night, although according to the timeline they came in during the day. Have you been running around the basements for at least half a day?
Ivochkin vs. Rita. Personally, it just seemed to me that at the moment when Ivochkin says, "lock her up.later with her," Rita somehow looked at Ivochkin in a special way. It was hardly an order, since he chased after her afterwards. And this statement by Ivochkin that she will be able to influence Valerka, what is it based on? If this confidence came from Rita's problem, which was known in advance to the stratelat, and the alleged request to Valerka to bite someone in order to somehow save her (Rita) (the simplest option is to "persuade" Valera, see the end of the first season), then Ivochkin would hardly have tried to bite Rita?
Another oddity is the scene with Pashchenko. Why did he really need Rita, because the military instructor saw that her hand was covered in blood only at home. Did he just see one normal girl and decide to at least save her from school? Or maybe he actually guessed or knew that she was important to vampires and took her hostage to buy her off if necessary?
Rita Valerke's confession. Rita's voiced problem, in fact, basically implies an early death, IMHO, there is nothing unexpected if Father Gleb said that she could not be cured or would not have long to live. So he said that someone needed a sacrifice to save her? Specifically, apparently, Valerka, so Rita moves the plot with might and main. And yet, during Rita's confession, Valerka extended his hand to her for support, but Rita did not accept it, which seems to hint...
I do not exclude that everything is much simpler to explain, and it was the scriptwriters who deliberately cast more shadows on the fence to make it more mysterious. Or maybe I have too much imagination.
> They ride in the same car and hang out in a military apartment
- Is it bad? "I'll be patient
It feels strange. I think I watched the episode, but it seems that something is missing.
Is the series good?
>>>>> back to the Burevestnik
The camp is more interesting from the visual side.
If you remove all the screams that everything was wrong in it, because season 2 seems to be an independent work, then it seems that this season either contradicts the lore of this universe, or expands it.
How many stratigraphs can there be if leeches do the main job of delivering blood, and moreover, I wouldn't be surprised if, despite their "depravity," they can respond to the call of the most important thing
I don't like Veronica's line, it feels like it's not real, suddenly appears in Igor, and disappears as well. Not a girl, but a guide. Either that's how the story is meant to be, or the scriptwriters couldn't fit it in clearly.
The vampire's death didn't go very far-it was a stupid claim, of course, but they could at least have screamed. And in general, his death is needed purely for demonstration.
Rita's secret has been revealed and now it is possible to assume that they will try to poison her blood stratylate. But it's still a pity that he's not a werewolf. You're giving me fleas!
Leva and Valerka - it's a pity that it didn't work out. Father Gleb is still unclear. Suddenly, the action scenes at the beginning of the episode came in - Valentin Sergeevich, my respects to your whip. I want a spin-off where they ride around the country with Lefty and destroy vampires.
And most importantly, we returned to where it all began. Home, sweet home.
Oh, I continue to languish in anticipation of new turns.
Otherwise, it's a good series.
Valerka: turn around, Igor
*hop*
Igor opens up to Veronica
I think they're trying to keep the momentum going, but sometimes it turns out to be too stupid and even. It's not the first time I've noticed exactly what Igor often has in common. It's like he's falling into his own head, where the apartment and Veronica are.
Anyone can be a stratolater, I don't even want to guess, I'll just watch, I like it)
and no, this is not fan fiction, but literally a scene from the TV series
screaming like a bitch.
She just didn't finish the truth and only said the first part about the disease. …
The Doctor and Lyova are a mess. I also want a spin-off about them, I think he would have shot.
Leva and Valera are a broken heart. I hope they can be friends.
The school is in season 2 in Noginsk, Moscow region.
From Samara, only the name and that former one is Kuibyshev.
It's a pity that it's such a beautiful city.
This season, the atmosphere is completely different, quite creepy. I've missed camp so much that I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Apparently they're just used to other vampires with fangs, who are always quite happy)
But here the vampires were beaten in a different way.

Why did Sergushina get killed?... It's on the cover of the season ((
I suspect that in the end, the MB will be alive.
An ingenious theory!!
Lugunov's hairstyle is too stylish for the 80s. Okay, Val's parents are leeches, the assistant rents a hut for a salary. But is that where he goes at night?!
- Rita, don't be naughty...🤣
Yes, and the doctor in the role of Van Helsing is good...
Leukemia is an elegant option, it's good here!
Apparently, the Servelate is Gleb's father after all. Although then why did Artyom make out with his father Gleb, if Gleb is a Servile man?
Because Valerie's two dead girlfriends would be too much for the series.
"Usually, everything goes to hell after that phrase."
"I don't like it when it's quiet. It's not clear how bad everything is."
Phrases must be remembered)))
There's a huge difference between the first and second seasons. Although they are united by the uneven speed of what is happening - sometimes they pull, then everything changes in a second.

Lev is also unclear why he suddenly travels with him, and does not go to school, where his parents are looking, as they have already written here.😂
And why did this vampire immediately burst into flames? Until now, when the symbols were removed from them, it just started to get hot.
There are a lot of questions.
