The second
season saw the show settle down to a gentle formula; the back story of Nick's
search for a cure took a back seat, and the use of historical contexts was used
a lot, largely with good effect.
However, Nicks love-hate affair with Lacroix
becomes tedious. It's hard enough to believ that an 800 year old vampire can be
so neurotic and helpless that he still needs lessons in vampirism, without the
increasingly lazy scripts that used Lacroix to fill yawning gaps in the week's
tale.
