well it was more to do with the basic lore...
Like why he needed to drink blood when hunting a vampire.
What the Gloom was (you got it eventually, but that literally appeared from nowhere at all in the first film).
What the mosquitos were.
Who had what power (seems some were Seers who -on a computer?! - saw the future, like that very confusing plane crash event).
The crows.
The fact that after much talk of ONE Great Other...there were then two who must not meet or something.
The whole policing policy where it seems no one was allowed to actually hurt anyone doing something wrong.
The 'punishment' idea where you get turned into an animal for years...and yet some of them could turn into an animal on will.
Just lots and lots of little bits it seems you were meant to know about. Seems like a bad adaptation of the novels, where the makers forgot that if you have not read the books you would have no idea about things.
