Ok could someone answer these questions please.

1. What exactly is the experiments goal? Its never spelled out. They say things like control their vampire nature, blah, blah, blah..but does anyone actually understand how the experiment is proved either a success or a failure? Science always has clear guidelines.
2. How could this experiment possibly save the world, or the vampire race or anyone? So what if they can do whatever it is they are supposed to do?
3. The vampires are fed fake blood in the school which would not be available to them outside the school, so their behavior would have to include feeding once the experiment is done. isn't it very stupid to not teach them how to kill and feed with stealth, or if possible not feed without killing? What are they meant to do once they are on their own?
4. Isn't it a bit stupid that Drew goes to the school to learn to love as he can't seem to take a pee without falling in love with the first reasonable looking mortal he sees?
5. Why are the se vampires called young? Essie is older then Merrill's maker(the blond lady) having been sired in the Middle ages while Merrills maker was sired in the 1930's. In fact if vampires live to be a 1000 then Essie is quite old. So why are they refered to as youngsters and treated like children?
6. If these vampires don't like their life(and it is obviously life, just like ours) then why do they act so submissive to Murdoch and the elders out of fear of loosing that life?
None of it makes any sense at all.
&. If vampires are loners, then why have they all banded together into two sides?

woah - ok so quite alot there

so here's my take on it all, its what i gathered from the show and i may be wrong its only my opinion.

so the fury want the vampires to fulfill their natural desires, and feed off and kill humans and in all likiness expose vampire kind to the world - hence then they would be hunted by humans. The elders figure that if they can learn to control their urges to feed off humans, learn to live amongst humans, they will then go undetected in the world and secure the existence of the race.

As far as I know its not fake blood, its human blood from donors,and i have no idea what provisions there would be for them outside the experiment perhaps the next stage (if there was a 2nd season) would be to put them on to animal blood. In my opinion Drew just a love sick puppy but i think the premise was to question whether he was actually in love or just lust or just craving a kill.
They are young in vampire years, and if I remember correctly merrills maker was 300 years old where Essie is only 100 ish. Drew is about 120ish, Karl about 2 years, Merril seems younger perhaps even 80 years, and Marty well who knows?
I think they obey Murdoch because there is a fear element of the fury and the elders, as either side could kill them. Also from Marty was saying in ep 2, they seems to ask them to take part in the experiement - qoute - it was the promise of bottle fed blood that got me here in the first place.
And to Q8 - misery loves company...

hope this helps

Thank you. But that doesn't answer the actual questions. It does provide information, but it still makes the show illogical.
Essie is far older then a hundred yrs old. Check the episodes on youtube. She is royalty, and looking at the clothing you can tell its the middle ages. Thats to say at the very youngest she would be 500 yrs old. So she is absolutely older then Merrills maker. No doubts on that. So they are not young in vampire years.

The kind of blood they are given is not the question, the point is this; once they are out of the school the blood is NOT going to be given to them in a bottle. they will have to get it from a human. But it says synthetic in that Ebook on this very forum. So you can check that. So how will they eat without killing once there are no pouches?
The thing that bothers me the most is the "experiment" say they prove that these five vampires can indeed not hunt humans unless they are hungry what are they going to do with that knowledge? Force all vampires to be treated like troubled teenagers? How will this knowledge save the world? Exactly.
Besides the obvious; I would never allow anyone to talk to me the way Murdoch talks to his students. I am now 25. Maybe when I was 14 I would have, but now i am an adult, and no one treats me like I need punishing if Im bad. Never. Not for any price. How would it be possible that someone who has lived for a hundred years allows someone to give them detention? Its not possible.
And my original question is not why the fury and elders are fighting. We are told by Murdoch that vampires are loners and do not work well together. IF thats true, then how has the entire vampire population decided to JOIN the fury or elders? If they are loners they would not JOIN anything.
