No Second Season For Blade

I thought it was too early to tell but according to THOcracy, Jill Wagner, who plays Krista on Blade: The Series broke the news yesterday on her MySpace page.

That's a supprise, I thought the show was good and was doing well in the ratings. :\

Thanks for posting the extra link to THEOcracy, Superhero Hype! just pick up on it. Now, it is Spike TV turn to say something...*first seen at Comics2Film*

I had heard the the ratings fell by half from the pilot. I think the problem was that the show was about Krista, Marcus and the vampire community (Ala World of Darkness) and not about Blade. Spike TV wanted a man show and they got a female agnst show. Speaking of which it might not just be overall ratings since Spike was going for male viewers and I bet the female viewership also made up too large of a part of whatever ratings they got.

Now while I am complaining that it was the Krista show, I did like her as an acteress and wouldn't mind seeing her in something else that is supposed to be about her.

Well, that is a switch...

Would have been a great show for Lifetime...but I think viewers on Spike were disappointed by the lack of action. Whle it debuted great, the numbers dropped very sharply.

It's officially confirmed...

No great loss.

Felon,

Only if there's not a follow up in animated format.

Maybe now they can do a show about Spike instead (that sounds appropriate).
