Hellsing/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

• Everyone who's heard the theme from the original Hellsing series, "World Without Logos," basically knows that the lyrics make no fricking sense, right? I took this for granted until I realized what the title meant: "Logos," as described by Aristotle, means "reasoned discourse." Well, the song actually is a good indication of a world without reasoned discourse. ~Eriyu
  • Even better via Shine: Logos means also "word". And what does God use at the start of the Bible to make the world...?
• In the “Hellsing” world, it seems history repeats itself. Though Alucard is the only character taken straight from Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” others seem to fill roles of characters from Stoker’s novel.
  • Integra, of course, fills the role of Professor Van Helsing; a religious, sophisticated, educated, and badass leader.
  • Seras Victoria, a young vampire yet to drink blood, is bound to obey her “master.” She is in the exact same situation that Renfield was, when Dracula/Alucard had him—except of course that Seras is not insane.
    • In other ways, Seras resembles Lucy Westenra - a young blonde who is sexualized and yet virginal, and who is turned by Dracula/Alucard, in contrast to "Sir Integra" as a genuinely "New Woman" version of Mina.
  • Rugged Pip Bernadotte, with his cowboy hat, is not unlike Quincey Morris. He even sacrifices his life to save a woman he loves.

Fridge Horror

• At the beginning of Hellsing, a vampire infects an entire village and turns its inhabitants into ghouls. However, when a virgin is bitten and drained of blood, he or she will become another vampire instead of a ghoul. The village of course had its share of children, yet Alucard met only one vampire, the originator, during his purge. Meaning that the vampire either a) murdered the children without feeding on them, b) raped the children and then fed on them, or as it is revealed c) Millennium is directly responsible for this test run of their artificial vampires whose victims they feed on, whether they were virgins or not, became ghouls. Just HOW MANY test runs they did before the organization attacks Hellsing is unknown, but for Muggles living there THAT'S Fridge Horror.
