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.

There is really only one wrod to describe that preview....yum. Rhona with fangs, Rhona in the shower, Rhona in a little silk looking robe and then Rhona gettin all fierce with her "I could end you" line. Just....yum.

I am SO looking forward to this. Thanks for posting!

SO TRUE! Rhona is yum x infinity plus 1! If you looked up Yum in the dictionary, Rhona's picture should be there.

just watch it and must admit I liked it. found all the characters, adult & teen, interesting but found the adult story lines much more appealing. I think Devon, the bad witch, is going to be a hoot.

This is definitely a show where the adults are infinitely more interesting than the teens. Actually I liked Brett's (the werewolf) storyline and I'm interested in that, but the instant-romance between Charlie and Andie did not really appeal to me at all.

I think Devon, the bad witch, is going to be a hoot.

This! She's gorgeous, catty in a fun way, and there are hints that there's more to her than meets the eye. The character hits on a lot of things that appeal to me, so I think she's going to be a favorite of mine.
