fembuckAnother excellent episode.
Loved Charolette's little Napoleon complex. Her little hop onto the desk so that she would be eye level with him after making him sit on the tiny couch was gold. I'm enjoying the character and am interested in finding out more about her. Dominic seemed to know her pretty well and Armayan's have been exiled for a while. It would be interesting to know just how old she is and how she got into a position of power like that, since even among purebloods you've got to think there are older ones who've finished growing and have much more experience than her. Is she like the House of Chton's Wesley Crusher or something? Missed Glynis and her inappropriate interactions with Charolette this week though.
Chase *sobs* Ouch! Seriously the scenes with her were brutal to watch. The first unveiling was pretty bad and I pretty much had the same reaction as Krista, but that second scene where she was healing and they went all red, gooey full body shot with her wheezing in pain. Regeneration, especially on that scale has got to suck. At least it seems like it only took a couple days for her get her skin back (and pixie hair!). But on a serious note, they don't actually expect us to believe she's a natural blonde do they???? I mean, come on UMP!
Liked Marcus's bedside vigil. I know the show is all about the Marcus/Krista on the surface and the Krista/Chase in the subtext (at least in my world, lol), but I find Marcus and Chase's relationship pretty interesting as well. This episode clearly showed that he cares about her deeply and we know that he trusts her without question and I'd be interested in learning a bitt more about "Marcus and Chase: The Early Years". Especially if like a flapper Chase flirts inappropriately (as is her M.O.) with some jazz songtress or something. I like flappers :D
Also, I'm glad Jessica Gower at least got a couple of lines tonight. Her last look as Marcus went off to meet with Krista was brilliant. Chase is sooooo fucking jealous of Krista ... I can't wait to see what's going to come of it, cause she is so "nobody puts Baby in a corner!" She will not not slide into second place gracefully. My solution: Sex. With each other. ;)
*Shock* Blade was actually really interesting tonight. Fucked up Blade is good tv. Loved visions with his mom, especially the one in the kitchen (freaky, disturbing and cool) and what it reveals about Blade's self image. I mean I knew the guy wasn't sunshine and roses but there's some real self loathing and hatred going on there. His reaction to Venessa's 'vamps must suffer' speech was also really subtle and well done.
Also, in the movies his mom "died" in childbirth, but I thought the vision tonight seemed to be hinting that Blade might have killed her when he was a "little man". Anyone else? Anyone? Bueller?
Normally I don't like family subplots, but I actually enjoyed the Krista/AngryUncle/Mom subplot, and the continuation of the 'vampires are like addicts' metaphor. I'm looking forward to the continuation of it next week with Krista seeming to offer to turn her mother (oooh that scary ass dream she had of feeding off of her mom might just come true). Though if she does turn her mother you know that no good will come of it. The desire is so human, but you just know it's not going to end well. And considering how much of a hard time she's having dealing with the reality of being a vamp I boggles my mind that she's even considering it. I guess being a vampire doesn't save you from making irrational but very human emotional decisions.
Also, I totally wasn't expecting Krista to show back up missing half her arm either. That was a great reveal and totally bad-ass. Those two are hardcore. It was a smart move though because from the previews I was thinking the eye thing alone was kind of lame so, 'good one writers!' No wonder she doesn't want to work for him anymore though. When covering your ass involves dismemberment it's time to transfer to a new department!
And because I can't go an entire review without mentioning Jill Wagner's babiliciousness. What was up with that boobalicious top Krista was wearing on her comando mission. I mean after she ashed those vamps in the car, all I could think on her badass dramatic walk to the building was "bongy bongy bongy". Not that I'm complaining, but if you're going to be killing people and stealing vampire fetus's you should have proper support!

Re: *rubs hands gleefully*
Date: 2006-08-03 05:28 pm (UTC)lol, I didn't think that sentence through very well. It was late and well, sorry for the emotional and psychological trauma. Also, after watching the first season of Sugar Rush, I have seen ALOT of Marcus. More than even Jill Wagner has shown (and seen him involved in a storyline about crabs) so I'm not as disturbed as I could have been, lol.
did you notice how pissed Chase was when Marcus told her about Charolette? "You're humiliating her."
I did and thought it was really interesting. Chase is protective of Charlotte whom, or maybe its some feminist desire not to see women humiliate themselves doing the bidding of men or something. But I like your mother/sister idea! Especially since in that equation Charolette would have been the mother figure helping Chase adjust as a newborn and that dynamic (seeing this little girl giving advice to a grown ass women) would be awesome to watch. Plus it would mean Chase backstory!!!
Whistler looks like a junkie! xD
LOL. Yeah, I saw the previews and thought that he looked really skeezy. Then again Whistler was kinda skeezy looking in the movies too, and because of all of his injuries had this shaky old man thing going on that kinda made him shake like a junkie so maybe they're trying for continutity, lol. Wouldn't surprise me if he actually is a drunk though.
Next weeks episode looks hella cool though. Definately looking forward to it.

and you were right, those chase being charred scenes were brutal
