You morons lost me in the first 3 minutes.

Unfortunate that you don't like the dialogue or don't quite understand the reasoning behind it, maybe you do, who knows, that's cool. No disrespect of course. For others that don't know, in that scene Axel is keeping a character named Doc (who recently turned vampire) alive by feeding her blood from Axel's own arm through a tube. As she is feeding as a Vamp, Axel is thinking about the snack food he used to eat and took for granted, double meat, Kit Kat bars. It's quite funny actually and says a lot. They are both in their own prisons as well, Doc locked in a cage for safety and Axel barricaded in a facility.

What it is is product placement in the second sentence of uttered dialogue.

It's shameless plugging of product placement. In other words it becomes blatantly obvious that Subway paid syfy to mention them specifically very early into the show. Wearehouse 13 used to be very guilty of that with Twizzlers of all things.

lmao I know, right? Don't worry you didn't miss anything because the rest of the episode was just as bad.

With killer lines like "try me, assface", I don't think they really had a writer who could slip in a discreet product placement in a post apocalyptic show.

Subway is known for buying product placement like this, which is why whenever you see the lardbuckets on Pawn Stars eating lunch, it's always Subway.
