    Suo Tempore means "in its [own] time" if you ever needed a definitive answer. Suo means His or its, and Roman languages all have the expression "Everything in its own time". A dying person would say "It's my time", so the only context that fits is this quote. Everything happens for a reason, in its own time.

    Watched Cronos about 20 years ago and I liked this take on the vampire genre. A more intimate focus on the transformation of the man who refused in the end to let go of his humanity and died surrounded by his family.
    FYI: Lot 36 wasn’t an episode directed by Guillermo Del Toro, it was directed by Guillermo Navarro.
    Del Toro produced the series, but he wasn’t the director of any episode.

    What has always intrigued me is that this was Del Toro's first movie, but he could cast Ron Perlman un It.
    According to Perlman he couldn't get any role after the Beauty and the Beast TV series until Guillermo hired him, but that doesn't explain how a Hollywood actor and a rookie Mexican director came in contact.

    Kinda reminds me of Warhammer fantasy origin of vampires.
    Basically their equivalent of Ancient Egypt had one Pharaoh who was ridiculously good at being a Pharaoh.
    Settra,
    And he accrued so much ridiculous amounts of wealth and power in a world with magic that before he died. He started a whole Cult dedicated to unlocking the secret to immortality.
    Bing batta boom, about a millennium later. The son of a different Pharaoh. Whom is a member of the Mortuary Cult. Catches some elves. Becomes a powerful necromancer. Dies, ain't really vibing with death, so he possesses his own dead corpse. Goes a lil insane. Starts writing down what he's learned about life and death.
    Later, some Europeans find these writing. Misinterpret it. Do discover a warped version of immortality.
    Become proto-vampires. Decide they ain't really vibing with it either. One tries to contact the author of the books they discovered through magical means. Only to get literally throttled Darth Vader style from half way across the planet. And the rest decide to leave it alone. And just be content with sudo-immortality at the cost of chowing down on the occasion peasants.
    And that's where vampires come from in Warhammer fantasy.

    If you ever cover anime and dare to brace yourself in the waters of young adult fantasy romance, then I'd really recommend Vampire Knight and its sequel Memories for the new subtype of vampires. Most people compare it to the Twilight of anime, but I'd rather call it The Vampire Diaries of anime because of its in-depth lore regarding the vampires and having one of the original vampires around. Though its sequel is rather what an unholy lovechild of Riverdale and The Vampire Diaires would look like, but the memes you can make out of it are part of the fun!

    To be fair it's possible Jesus and the Alchemist "died" which made their vampiric looking forms. The lack of abilities might just be Jesus never lived long enough to get them.
    But I do like these kinds of twists to the formula. Especially when there are consequences to the gifts.
    Though the people in the movie could have all gotten what they wanted by talking it out.
    Need Blood? They had blood banks back then. No need to kill anyone.

    Got to call them out, it says if there heart is pierced, they die, but he was autopsied, and embalmed, therefore he wouldn't have a heart attached, I mean if piercing it kills them, they why did removing it not...idk this bugs me lol
