So ABC has put up the first 17 minutes of their new summer show The Gates (premieres June 20th), starring your favorite and mine, Rhona Mitra.

I must admit the first few minutes had me rolling my eyes, but by the time the 17 minutes was up I was pretty engrossed in the show and I actually yelled at the screen when the preview ended because that scene was INTENSE. It should also be noted that the preview was like 40% Rhona Mitra (Claire Radcliffe) which I greatly approved of! I'm so happy that her character is going to figure prominently as she is my main draw to the show. Well, Rhona and the fact that I love vampires and werewolves!
Also, based on the little montage of what is to come on the show that they featured at the end of the sneak peek, I'm already shipping Claire and Devon (the lovely Chandra West).

The hate-sex/fight-sex/antagonism-sex between them would be amazing! Plus, I love my blonde/brunette pairing, lol.
Honestly, this show is not going to approach the epic levels of awesome of True Blood but I think that it could be some fun summer entertainment and that I'm going to be able to stare at Rhona Mitra (with fangs) for extended periods of time, so I'm in.

I love that on the ABC website they have the dialogue from that scene in the character bios, because I'm hoping it means that the Claire/Devon relationship/rivalry will be a focus of the show, which means plenty of screen time for the lovely ladies to gay it up.
Rhona has great chemistry with female co-stars (she even managed to gay up that scene with the cops wife a little bit) so I'm really looking forward to their first scene together.
