Some icons to go with post-episode commentary tonight




Commentary

Random note: I loved AsianCamper's hair. It was cool.

Finally we learn about the conclave. But Marcus said something about 1 down 5 to go, so he can't be talking about taking out all of the purebloods. He must be talking about just the Chthon Pureblood Council. So I still have no idea what his overall plan is. Does he want to take over the council? Because his coven in Detriot can't be all there is of Chthon vampires and I'm sure the other Chthonians would be none too please about Marcus gasing everyone and declaring himself King of the Douchebags Castle.

Man, where was that community center located? Mayberry ... or HappyShinyFantasyLand? Oh well, it didn't stay happy and shiny for long. Charlotte on the ceiling was some cool shit however. And the vampire masacre was tres creepy. Also, Charlotte is a total fucking bad-ass, what with the creating her own army of bodyguards out of the community center staff and all. Holy that's an evil little girl. PancakeMom was pretty hilarious too. "You dented my mini-van!" or maybe "Nobody said you could go for seconds!" I will also never get tired of seeing Charlotte crawl around like a little monkey girl all over everything. Awesome. Almost as good as Charlotte crying pretending to be a frightened little girl. For some reason Charlotte saying "Daddy" is creepy as hell.

Charlotte totally read Blade wrong though, she couldn't have been more wrong about him on the most wrongingest day of the year with an electrified wronging machine. R.I.P. Charlotte. I'll miss you. You were way scarier the MoneyBags has ever been.

The Krista/Marcus/Chase triangle is going strong and as effing boring as ever, but OMG! The ZoomInOfDeath on the locket Marcus gave Krista was the BEST! You could practically hear the 'knife stabbing' music to go along with Chase's glare.

Well, at least TPTB aren't shying away from showing Marcus as the bad guy anymore. I liked that they finally had Krista SEE him do something deliciously evil without blinking an eye. It's one thing to know intellectually that he's a bad guy, but after Marcus' 'pity me' visions of angst, I think it was necessary for her to see this side of him. The side of him that kills people just to make a point (it wasn't even to feed to survive, he was just being a bully). I think it's a good thing Marcus got his groove on before that little display because I don't think Krista would have wanted to play after it.

Also, who knew that dragging a mop could be so ominous.

R.I.P Collins ... Blade the Series went there again! Damn, man they kill off like two regular guest star. Boo, but then again that's what Blade the Series does ... it goes there.

Unless it's actually Khase kissage! BOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOO monu-fucking-mental BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Maybe Marcus is right to be so fucking arrogant because it seems like everything IS about him. Did I already say BOO! Effing misleading promos, they just stayed enemies with more inappropriate touching on Chase's part (though it is kind of amusing how Krista doesn't even react anymore. It's like "being fondled by Chase ... must be a week day).

Also totally not impressed by the fact that Chase was just a stoogie once again cleaning up Marcus' split milk and acting like a jealous housewife. Go eat the women on Westeria Lane, Chase! No more Desperate Housevampires over on Blade the Series, please! K, thanks.

Whatever, the promo for next week looked good but I'm fucking bitter right now. I'm actually gonna go do work for tomorrow *sticks tongue out at Blade the Series*

Quotation Love:

Krista: "Really? I hardly notice when you're gone."
Blade: "And you're not that smart."
Charlotte: "I will be in a moment." Charlotte you are sooooo freaky.
Shen: "He does. They anger him." Shen-erific snark
Blade: "There's me and there's vampires. I kill 'em and they die." Oh Blade, you sure do have a way with words.
Krista: "Yeah, sometimes so much you come to my room unasked." LOL. So true.
Krista: "So this would be you getting to know me better?" BWAH! And then ewwwwwwwwww.
Collins: "Jesus!" Like every one of the times he said it
Charlotte: "Faster. It'll be light soon. Put me down." Oh, so cute her piddly little legs can't walk fast enough
Blade: "How about you see how long you can go without asking me a question."
Blade: [On Collins using the name Jessica to log in to the FBI computer] "Oh unless you had some kind of operation" Blade, oh my god you are on fire tonight!
Blade: [about Familiars] "I call them targets."
Collins: "Hey Lurch!" Love you Collins.
Krista: "Doesn't anyone knock in this place?" Finally she asks the question we've all been wondering about.

Not to get into a discussion about US broadcast standards but there's a big difference between network, cable, and premium cable here in the US. So, there is a difference between QaF, which was on premium cable, and Blade which is on cable. Not that there aren't mind-numbingly stupid double standards but I'm just sayin'.

If Blade's not pushing boundaries in regards to sex and nudity - it's not because of Spiketv. We've already seen Chase's stunt ass, some words you definitely won't hear on network tv, strippers grinding on poles and people (not Krista/Marcus) bumping uglies. I don't know if anyone's asked about Spike's standards and practices over on the official boards because, right now, it feels like TPTB are holding back instead of just going for it and cutting out what they can't air. I hope I'm wrong on this, but it certainly doesn't feel like it.

Which reminds me - why didn't we get a Krista stunt ass, dammit?
