I've been watching episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel on Netflix and I've come to the conclusion that for all of their age and experience, vampires are pretty dumb. Let me rephrase...the writers of this crap are dumb. Why? Well, if your main weakness is an aversion to wood piercing your heart, do you continue to wear frilly white pirate shirts made of silk or designer black tees made of linen or Egyptian cotton? Or do you find yourself some Kevlar right the hell now? Chain-mail would also work. What's the main complaint of cops and soldiers about body armor? It's too hot. Not like these creatures of the night have to worry about that. So if you're a vampire and die from a stake to the heart, you deserve it because you're an idiot.
On the other side of it, if you're someone who encounters vampires on a regular basis, you should be taking garlic pills every day and washing them down with holy water. Speaking of holy water, why wouldn't you take a super-soaker squirt gun filled with the stuff along with your stakes and crosses? Or better yet, why wouldn't you make wooden bullets and use a Glock instead of relying on weak-ass crossbows? My favorite idea (I came up with this a few days ago) is to load an butt-load of paintballs with holy water and garlic powder. Anybody can use a paintball gun. But I guess Hollywood writers aren't too interested in common sense. The fact that this surprises me actually makes me a bit of a moron.
