fembuckHad a fun shopping trip in downtown Toronto today. Got the newest issue of Runaways (Nico you are such a whore! And acknowledging that your easy doesn't make it any less slutty!) Got myself a wicked new velour jacket and two kick-ass polo dress shirts from American Apparrel with a V.I.P. discount thank you very much (*woot*)
And I saw Brandi from 'Canada's Next Top Model'. I seriously cannot believe she lost (travesty! travesty! Okay fine, she's kind of a lush, but still...), she is STUNNING in person. It was like sunbeams were shinning down on her obscuring everything around her so that you could only see the pretty.
Now onto Blade ...
R.I.P. Glynis. You were really hot and we'll miss you. Thanks for at least giving us a kick-ass fight before you bit it. Also, Krista looked really hot snarking about your death so that's another bonus. Wish you could have stayed around for a while longer. Looking forward to Charlotte avenging your death. It's so hard to find good, sexy minions that she'll be feeling your loss acutely. See you on the 4400 (where sadly you are not quite as hot).
Wow Krista, great babysitting skills. Way to fucking lose your mom! Yeah, alright you looked all hot and shit, but seriously where the hell were you looking for her before Blade showed up, the Fight Club? Honestly, where did all those injuries come from? I don't know but I guess it looked cool and dramatic. But really, you couldn't think of going to see UncleAngry ... um, I mean Uncle Pat without Blade's growly two cents?
Chase's bum!
R.I.P. Uncle Pat. I'm not gonna compliment you a whole lot cause unlike Glynis I didn't like you. You were less douchey this episode but I don't really miss you (and apparently neither does Krista). Bye.
Chase, Chase, Chase. Damn you were looking fine tonight girlfriend. And thanks for confirming that vampire sex is growly and hot (though it would have been hotter if you were with Krista, or Glynis, or hell even Marcus). I just love that everyone is in love with Chase (spin-off series Everybody Loves Chase, anyone?). It must be hard to be so mad hot all the time.
I'll say though that she had be fooled. That was a really good con. I seriously believed Chase was considering leaving Marcus for a while, and wanted to kick Marcus's smarmy ass for turning on her like that after decades in his service. The way she looked all teary and vulnerable, and especially the 'domineering husband' scene when Marcus showed up in her hotel room. Dayum. That Chase is quite the little actress. I didn't catch on to the fact that they were totally playing Alex until Marcus asked Chase to fix them all a drink. Then I was like "you're going down Mr. PurebloodMan". R.I.P. Alex, I didn't really dig that you tried to buy Chase (and you totally underbid on her!) and you were kind of a dork so I won't miss you. (P.S. see you on Stargate Atlantis and The 4400, Kavan!)
Are they intentially trying to make the purebloods seem like asshats? Because really, for beings that are supposed to be immortal and mad powerful they're coming off ... well, really none of those things. Charlotte's cool, and evvvvil, but Marcus is totally playing her. Alex was totally unimpressive, I mean he seemed like a rich kid whose only accomplishment in life was spending daddy's money and somehow managing never to have held at job. Sure he has good taste in women ... well actually not since Chase totally led him to the slaughter. Anyway, the purebloods are kind of coming off like lazy royals right now, with no real skills or abilities who have gotten complacement in their high positions and in having their infected vampire cronies doing all of the heavy lifting so that they can sit about eating cake. And by cake I mean pastry chefs who bake cakes. Anyway, if that's what they're going far I like the idea and would kind of like to see it expanded upon.
Chase's bum!
The House of Chthon (or at least Marcus's lair) is tres chic. Seriously, Krista must be the bum of the house, cause everyone was dressed to the nines. No wonder Chase was trying to help her dress a few episodes back - though I personally enjoy Krista's casual hotness. Also, Marcus in smarm mode was pretty amusing. He's so smarmy.
R.I.P. Krista's mom. We hardly knew ye. Felt kinda bad for her when she was all huddled in corners looking like a bag lady and when she came running into the House of Chthon all crazy cat lady like. I knew that it wasn't going to end well for her but the last scene was still really effective and well done. When she went all vamp voice calling Krista a bitch, I was like "Blade is gonna cap a mom!" I felt really bad for Krista and her mom at the end but it had to be done. Plus, Jill Wagner does her best acting when she's killing her mom ;)
Next week looks good! Postal!Krista, Charlotte, male vamp fight and more :D

Ok .. random question. I haven't watched the Blade movies or read the comics. What's the deal about purebloods and the infected? Are the purebloods born as Vampires? And if so how? And why is Charlotte still a child?
I've seen the movies but haven't read the comics. But the movies differ from teh comics pretty significantly (I don't think Blade is a Vampire in the comics) so I'll answer as best I can.
Purebloods are born vampires and are the vampire elite. Everyone who is turned is infected with the vampirism virus and then made a vampire. Because of this purebloods are seen to be well pure, untainted by humanity and the infected are seen as lesser beings (and usually have complexes about it, see: Marcus Van Sciver and Deacon Frost).
Charlotte is still child like in appearance because she's a relatively young pureblood. My guess is that Charlotte is probably less than 200 hundred years old. And she'll continue to age with time, just very slowly. In the movies we see purebloods of all different ages so they have to age, just very slowly. In Blade II for example Nyssa was a pureblood who was the daughter of a vampire so old that his skin had toughened and turned a bluish colour giving him a nosferatu like appearance (he was thousands of years old I think). Someone like Alex was probably 500+ years old (which makes you think he would have been a lot smarter, lol).
They've never really gone into detail about it though, so this is just my best guess based on what we've seen.
I'm guessing there are also slight physical differences between purebloods and the infected based on what Marcus said about them being immortal and because his killer mist didn't harm Chase. In Blade the Movie, pureblood Udo Keir was killed by sunlight, so I'm guessing they have the same weakness's but maybe they are a bit more resiliant and probably much stronger and faster in general.
Hopefully the show will go into the differences between the two strands of vampires in more detail because I'm actually very interested in how it all works.
Sorry about the long ass response, lol!
