My dad had a brain aneurysm 17 years ago, it hasn't burst yet but I think it was about to when they found it. They were able to put a stint (stent?) and coils to keep it from killing him. But while they were doing that they got to watch a blood clot break lose and started pumping him full of medication before he started having the stroke. Quite a few of the staff had said they'd never had seen a stroke happen on inside in real time so it was a nice learning experience for all.

I think there's a different angle to Maurice and why he was taken down by Derrick so easily. From what I understood in the movie, Derrick wasn't supposed to come back as a vampire but the OG vampire woman had been attempting to turn Maurice as payment for him getting rid of her victims bodies. Maurice was so pissed because his body wasn't accepting the virus, and he didn't understand why she would give the gift of vampirism to some rando who hadn't done anything for her. I believe he was still very much human at the time he finds Derrick in his apartment, and he was terrified of Derrick because he maybe hadn't seen the vampire girl in her feral state previously.

I totally love how you break all these down and make them plausible via your in-depth education. At the end of the video, you said you love our input that could add to your perspective. I am paraphrasing and adding inference. When a supernatural being that's a super-regenerator, if science is to be applied, I picture it as the micro-biome taking over via a far more structured way where a viral and prion infection alters it to be akin to each cell being superiorly evolved like the amoeba. Each one being like a tiny electrochemical charged computer on a network of trillions, with the information control of each cell being akin to a super-computer. That would not only explain the super-fast healing, but the bioforming and the unusual weaknesses too (the cost of the alterations). That would also make it so nothing is lost, including memories, if the body has the resources to rebuild and reanimate.

I thought about this because i once heard that the gut has enough sensory cells to almost be considered a second brain.

i have two ideas on how a monster creator might go about preserving memories. but there's no evidence for either of them in this movie. 1. The creature develops a secondary brain, possibly a secondary CNS, which the nerve connections are somehow rearranged or rerouted to, a seperate memory center to act as a backup. Good spot is along the vagus nerve, could be used to explain an increase in hunger or consuming unusual things in spite of being full because of the connection bacteria have to the brain via the vagus nerve. This might be similar to the Krogan and their redundant nervous system. A node like that would be small and along the spine. Unfortunately it would be an added energy suck for the body and present a possible target to gunfire. Remember you're taught to shoot center mass, not headshots. But the use for it in an alien might be as insurance against deadly injury that could prevent you from remembering lifesaving skills, like running from predators, making fire, firing a gun, making clothing, remembering the properties of plants ecetera. Memory is important to us because we learn survival skills. Lose that learning and you don't know how to protect yourself. It may not be a common mutation though, or it might be common as dirt because Fermi paradox, we just don't know. However, it is a mutation that wouldn't show outwardly, allowing our guy to maintain a human like physique. 2. A secondary nanite infection piggybacking on the first or the virus causing a doubling of neurons. This would create cybernetics and/or a second set of the same connections. In the case of cybernetics it could send a virtual backup of one's memory to a server and then upload it to a person's mind when their brain is heavily damaged. However, there is no sign of this in the movie and extra neurons in the brain would mean less room in his head possibly causing diminished brain function, he would need a bigger skull. He does not appear to have a bigger skull in the movie so this option is out. Our brains are very finely tuned things. They spent about 2 million years becoming what they are and they've reached an energy efficiency balence that shouldn't be messed with without the science we have being up to the task.

Hey, have you done a video about the V/H/S movies. There are some of these movies that have very interesting ideas, and although they don't develop them too much, I think there is at least something you could discuss. Specially on V/H/S 94 where there is a doctor that experiments with mixing humans with machinery.

Vampirism links every cell to one another. Giving one control over their body on a molecular level. Each cell of your body stores all information within itself from each individual cell. That's how memories and other body parts are reformed just as they were.

About the only theory mcguffin I could come up with for rebuilding memory is a parasite that keeps a constantly updating blueprint of its host. The virus and its strengthening potential would just be the parasites method of keeping its host capable of providing it nourishment. That could also explain why it isn't consistently passed on with bites.

I actually have extra dense bones, I've been in violent car accidents and walked out, but I sink in a pool. I can tap on my sternum and it sounds like someone knocking on a door. It's not a hereditary issue, it's acquired and I'll leave it at that. On top of that, all my ligaments and tendons are overly elastic, so all my joints can pop apart and dislocate.

If your bones are significantly harder, like mine(LRP5 mutant here), there actually can be more negative effects than people realize. Later in life, certain bones can no longer be held in place properly, causing severe chronic pain, particularly in the neck, lower joints(knees and ankles)and back. As well as the minor buoyancy issue you mentioned, is not so minor... I sink like a rock, putting me at a significantly higher risk of drowning than others. The most notable annoyance would be that your limbs fall "asleep" much faster than normal, and stay that way longer, making it very important to not be sedentary in lifestyle.

yup have had all those issues myself with high bone density. thankfully since i got on my testosterone replacement therapy the nerve kinking issue has subsided (more skeletal muscle there to support things now). the numbing has eased off greatly everywhere but my wrists. (got carpal tunnel before my super slow puberty could strengthen that area. only got on trt recently in my 30s and trust me its weird to have body stuff catching up suddenly). i however didnt know that is likely the cause of my noodle ankles though. things just slide sideways randomly making me stumble and fall sometimes when walking. upside is i dont sprain my ankles anymore. downside is my skin hates french kissing concrete. as for swimming it sucked, once i reached my adult bone growth i suddenly couldnt maintain flotation. i have to use a wetsuit to generate that flotation to swim at "yay i can survive" levels now. so i would recommend trying one to make things a bit safer in deep water >_

Ya know, thinking on the fantasy game "Blooded" and "Unblooded" vampires, coupled with Roanoke's reasoning regarding The Affliction's vampirism, suddenly the entire fantasy genre's take on vampires makes more sense. On the onset of infection the body's reinforcement at the behest of the illness takes place, rapidly draining the body's resources and forcing a person to eat numerous other people to keep living. Once a week, for example, to continue the changes. This is why Unblooded vampires tend to be fairly easy to take out, and why Thralls occur. Infected who are weak from changes and don't have enough other humans to heal themselves. Once the changes are completed, though, a Blooded vampire can go much longer without feeding. At that point they have more bone to store resources and their body is more stable, allowing longer life and absolute inhuman feats due to the vampirism's augmentations. It's why older vampires are so much harder to kill, and are more dangerous. They're fully stocked, augmented, and used to their new capabilities. Really, the most dangerous part about being a vampire is the first year (or so) of infection. If you survive that, you become nearly unstoppable.

Very interesting breakdown. On the variable density issue, sometimes when things are too dense and rigid they can become more fragile. That's why bridges and tall buildings will have a little bit of sway in the wind and girders are shaped like an H. It's like a little bit of give can make something stronger. Like putting carbon in steel or tin in copper. All of that can be highly variable with material and size though, and I'm sure many of the larger dinosaurs had huge bones that were extremely dense lol. On the brain damage scene, considering the bones started pulling themselves back together so quickly with the healing factor maybe the force multiplier mostly moved things around. Like a bit of parietal, occipital and lizard brain got turned into mom's spaghetti on a smoosh vid for a minute and then just morning gloried itself back together.

My own version of vampirism is actually a symbiotic bacterial infection which transfers some of the DNA from bats to inspire changes in the human body which causes some of the traits to stack whilst lifting most of the restrictions on the human body. Additionally, my vampires only consume blood to rejuvenate still eating ordinary food like normal people. Human blood is basically a means to restore their own DNA, and certain animal blood is a temporary replacement due to their genetic similarity to humans. However, the repeated consumption of animal blood is not a permanent solution, and can cause certain issues.
