The Gates (a.k.a your weekly dose of Rhona Mitra with fangs!)

[fembuck]

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.


(Click Rhona to view the 'Sneak Preview')

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.

since i knew about our mutual love of Rhona Mitra, i simply waiting for you to post something about this show. the fact that she was staring in a new show where she plays a vamp is ENTIRELY too delicious! i couple weeks back a saw a quick promo for it and it left me momentarily stunned before my brain started processing that Rhona will be playing vamp w/slight Desperate Housewives-feel to it makes me all tingly inside. needless to say i'll be looking forward to checking it out.

hell, if i can 'stomach' Doomsday just so i can watch Rhona, this will be a walk-in-the-park.

THIS! It's like "new show with Rhona? SCORE! New show with Rhona playing a vampire? *wipes tears from eyes* EPIC!"

Rhona will be playing vamp w/slight Desperate Housewives-feel to it makes me all tingly inside.

Me too, even more so know that I think the show will actually be enjoyable! I'm digging Claire, and I'm totally anticipating the Claire/Devon rivalry, and I actually found the last seconds of the scene between Claire and her husband really hot!

hell, if i can 'stomach' Doomsday just so i can watch Rhona, this will be a walk-in-the-park.

LOL! Aw, I actually genuinely enjoyed Doomsday! It makes no fucking sense whatsoever, but Rhona is so badass in it that I was just like "Me gusta!" throughout the whole thing.
