Welcome back, Helsingers. Our long hiatus has officially ended. The season premiere, "Fresh Tendrils" makes quick work of catching us up on all vamp apocalyptic happenings for our fave survivors (and bloodsuckers). Vanessa wakes up from her nap looking for a fight with the Elder. Doc, Axel, and the others find themselves under attack by that mad doctor from last season. Of course, he grows curious when he finds out about Julius' ability to heal quickly and ya know, Flesh crawling from his grave.

Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x01, "Fresh Tendrils". What is the deal with Vanessa's red eyes? How cool is it that the Elder has Susan's face?  Were you bummed to see the group splitting up? It can't be long before they all end up together again, right? Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on the season 3 premiere. You can also send us an email at [email protected].
