So, I just got this in the mail, but then I realized if I wrote a review, you guys would figure out what huge nerd I was. I flipped a coin (not really) and it came up yes, so, you know...
Wolves at the Gate is probably the best of the three, because there's actually something at stake (no pun intended). Part I spent a little too much time establishing everything, and Part 2 was kind of tangential to the main story; this, Part three, is where it starts to pick up. People die. We meet the Big Bad (though it still might be a bait-and-switch, as they've done before). Vampires are racist.
The "plot," involving a bunch of Magic Unkillable Japanese Vampires, was really just a flimsy excuse to bring back Dracula, who was so awesome here I wanted to rewatch his episode (I didn't, but I probably will later tonight). Seriously, I hope they get a chance to bring back Racist Dracula, since none of the other new characters are really sticking out yet-- most of the Slayers are pretty indistinguishable (the same problem Season 7 had, come to think of it).
Oh, and there was a giant robot Dawn, for some reason.
I give it a 64.378 out of 68.901 Racist Draculas, 1.5 out of 2 Lesbian Superheroes, and Zero out of Negative Four Vampire Panthers.
