Blade the Series - 1x11 - "Monsters"

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.

And no, physically showing Isabelle getting raped* doesn't excuse a damn thing Marcus did to Krista.

Honestly the Isabelle flashbacks back Marcus an evener bigger asshat to me. I mean the pansy-ass mopey boy still carries around his dead wife's locket, he murders a pure blood to avenge her, and he's planning the destruction of the purebloods because of what was done to her. Obvious HIS family meant a great deal to him and 107 years later he's still obsessed with what happened. So what does he do he goes out and totally fucks up other people's lives the way his was fucked up, and then tells them to get over it. What the fuck ever Marcus. I don't see why we're supposed to feel sorry for what he went through, but then we're supposed to cheer on Krista blowing the guy that did the same thing to her.

Marcus the Douchebaggery Vampire

LOL.

if vamping is a metaphor for sex then, yeah, Marcus *did* rape her. Which makes me hate him (and Krista falling for the asshole) even more. Krista should totally be planning to shove a stake up his ass.. repeatedly.

Total word. This whole relationship is just despicable and makes me wonder if they have one female writer on staff, because honestly, Marcus is being rewarded for being a murdering, raping, abusive dickwad and the writers seem to have no idea that its going on.

Another on the list of things TPTB have shown onscreen and still they don't show Krista and Chase making out?

It amazes me that they REFUSED to go there, when it would have been so easy ... and so hot. Instead of Chase starting out by threatening Krista they could have had her start in with the friendship speech and wanting to get closer to Krista, and they could have had a tender sexy kiss go on. Then Chase could have played at understanding why Krista was attracted to Marcus and pretending to be okay with it. Then she could have slowly revealed violent information to Krista about Marcus and his past (knowing how squimish Krista is) under the guise of girl talk, slowly poisoning Krista against him (brining up Zach as well). Chase totally should have tried killing Krista with "kindness" since it has been demonstrated to her and the audience over and over again that Krista isn't really intimidated by her. But no, same old, same old.

lol, so true. You know what Marcus is, he's a fucking canon Mary Sue... Marcus is being rewarded for being a murdering, raping, abusive dickwad and the writers seem to have no idea that its going on.

What totally chaps my ass is I don't mind Marcus being a murderous, raping, abusive dickwad if he'd just *own* it, ya know (or TPTB would let him). Like, in the pilot, when Krista was talking to him through her sniper scope and Marcus was all ' yeah I killed your brother, whatchoo gonna do about it beeyoch'. And I'm like, damn that's cold. But since that moment he turned Krista, it's all been downhill from there.

Right now, it's like you said, he's a Gary Stu. He's not evil, just misunderstood. And, it'd actually be cool if he were actually banging all the women that are falling at his feet. But, we can't have that because his penis is reserved exclusively for his 'twu wuv'. God, excuse me while I puke. I don't want the Diet Coke of Evil for a villain, dammit.

Chase totally should have tried killing Krista with "kindness" since it has been demonstrated to her and the audience over and over again that Krista isn't really intimidated by her.

Or, how about Krista making the moves on Chase since Marcus *still* doesn't trust her after landing on his dick twice and getting nothing in return but some damn cheapass necklace.. and crabs. Heh, wouldn't it rule if Krista were to find out Marcus gave her some vampire STD?

Totally, it's like you can have him being a murderous, raping, abusive dickwad but the writers have to [Tim Gunn]make it work[/TG] which they haven't. They've carried on, but what they're doing isn't working.

Like, in the pilot, when Krista was talking to him through her sniper scope and Marcus was all ' yeah I killed your brother, whatchoo gonna do about it beeyoch'. And I'm like, damn that's cold. But since that moment he turned Krista, it's all been downhill from there.

You mentioned that moment and I cackled with malicious glee because that was so evil, and douche-y and FUN! If they'd kept that Marcus Van Sciver, having him like taunt Blade, or even like taunting Charlotte through a comm in the sword before blowing up the plane or something he might have been a villian that was fun to hate. Instead we've got EmoManPain with is boring and insulting.

Or, how about Krista making the moves on Chase since Marcus *still* doesn't trust her after landing on his dick twice and getting nothing in return but some damn cheapass necklace.. and crabs

OMG, I love that idea. It's like Krista knows that Chase at least finds her attractive, she would have probably been able to calm Chase's jealousy by hitting on Chase and thereby making her think that she's not as into Marcus as she seems, but just wants some play. And then since Chase is no way near as ass-pole-like controlled as Marcus, Krista totally could have gotten some useful information out of her during pillow talk. Plus, Chase probably would have made an effort to get her off multiple times while Marcus probably got dressed the moment he was finished.

Oh, man that would have been awesome adn it would have shown that Krista wasn't the schmoopy dumbass she's turning into, and it would have allowed Chase to be the sexy bitch that she is. Grrr Argh powers that be!

Heh, wouldn't it rule if Krista were to find out Marcus gave her some vampire STD?

I kinda wish he did, the dirty bastard. Maybe Krista can forgive seeing him break someone's neck, but everytime she has to apply that ointment she'd be cursing Dorkus' name.
