Blade the Series

[Dog Moon]

So is anyone still watching this? I have; it's kept my interest well enough and still has not focused on Blade or his crappy fighting much.

Haven't seen anything about this series, so I was wondering what other people thought of it, assuming I'm not the only one continuing to watch it.

I'm still watching the show despite the fight scenes (the cartwheeling of the vamps made me dizzy tonight). Chase does have a cute bare butt.

I finally gave up on it. The horrible fight scenes and bad acting got the better of me.

Yes she does.

I haven't watched this weeks, yet, but I'm still watching the show. I have to say that I'm actually enjoying it, overall. I'm also okay with the focus being more on Krista than Blade. She's a better actress, has a more interesting situation, and is a more likable character.

I gave up after a couple of episodes. I wanted to see Blade kicking ass, not Vampire Soap Opera...

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, more than have the viewers lost interest, too:

The series premiere had 2.5 million viewers, was the most-watched Original Series Premiere in Spike TV history, and was also the #1 show on cable for the evening with Men 18-34 and 18-49. Since that time, however, it has gone down by more than half in ratings (by the fourth episode - 1.07 million). The show has also failed to retain acceptable numbers in Spike's target demos of men 18-34 and men 18-49.

Not my favorite show of all times, but one that I watch regularily.
Tivo makes sure that I actually get to watch the show otherwise I would not be able to follow any show with regularity.
I don't care too much for Blade, but it seems that the show isn't going to really focus on him, but more use him as a pivot point and motivator for the other characters.
For some reason I don't care for Chase at all, but Krista is much more pleasing to me and probably the only reason that I continue to watch.

Don't like Chase! I think she's part of the main reason I watch the show, even before they showed her behind.

As for Blade kicking ass, I think they would have had to find a different actor, perhaps one actually skilled in martial arts, to have that sort of show. That's probably why many people don't like it; it has a totally different feel from the movies. It has to have some considering the different types of media, but this is a little too different...

A part of me thinks that this show would be a little better if the name Blade wasn't related to it. Too many people disappointed because of their expectations of what they expected v. what actually occurred.

Edit: Blush? Oops, totally meant a different smiley. Wanted the one.

Don't get me wrong, she has a great behind. It's just that the "Blade is little more than a cameo in his own series" is a bit too much like the godawful Blade: Trinity (supposedly, characters from that film are going to appear on the series, too).

Overall, this show reminds me of that old Kindred series. Anyone else remember that?

BTW, like I said, I've given up on the show, but I thought I heard them mention that the girl could cure herself with that serum. Is that true? If so, why kill vamps instead of curing them?

I wonder if they should have licensed Underworld instead of Blade for the show?
