fembuckMy love for this show grows every week!
The Good
- More Shen, yay! Sure a lot of his screen time was rubbing his eyes in front of computer screens and riding his hog, but when he got to talk (which was much more than usual) it was great. I hope we get to see a little more Shen in the field in the future, he was great last episode and again tonight.
- Blade backstory. I really liked how they delved into Blade's childhood and hearing about how he wasn't always as together as he is now. It was also interesting seeing how dependant he is on the serum. He's an addict too, just on a different drug.
The Really Good
- The House of Lycan was interesting and Chase's commentary about what freaks they were was good comedy (she gets the best lines).
Chase: "Probably because you're all batshit"
Chase: "Yes, because according to the freaks we're dirty girls..."
I'm also really interested in seeing Krista's reaction to the blood bath, it should be good. Bad-ass Krista is so much fun (and sexy rowr, although stilleto Krista is pretty hot too. Hell, Krista's just hot).
Also it was interesting to meet Chase's ex (especially cause of the possessive looks she was giving Krista).
I'd be interested in finding out more about what went down between the two of them (despite his tea drinking yoga instructor outfit. Shave Steve!!! You can keep the hair though).
- Krista's little Static Whisperer thing was kinda cool. Love seeing the vampire abilities in full effect.
Plus Krista and Chase play time. I love the two of them together. They really are the most interesting and dynamic duo. I'm glad that the writers are constantly putting them together cause it's far more interesting than watching Marcus with either of them (though he was pretty good tonight, snobby as hell but amusing).
It was also interesting seeing Chase close her eyes as Krista went under almost as if she was actually genuinely worried about her *gasp* Awww, it's true love.
- Bokeem Woodbine. He was really good as the leader of the Bad-Bloods and he would have made a terrific Blade. He has the voice, the charisma, the badass attitude and he certainly couldn't be any worse at fight scenes then Sticky Fingaz (stupidest alias ever). And I'm no Bokeem fangirl, I absolutely hated him in The Breed but he was really good tonight. Mourns for the Blade that wasn't.
The Bad
- The episode moved a little slowly. Too much exposition while Blade hangs from chains, not enough Krista and Chase. Also, I didn't need half of those Shen drives a motorcycle and bags a bag shots.
I have to say I'm really enjoying the show, it gets better every week the writing was particularly strong tonight (except for the expositiony bits). And I'm glad to see that the police investigation is continuing. I'm not sure whether I like the lead cop or not (he's a weird actor, he's so laid back like he's seconds away from falling asleep, but at the same time kinda seems like an asshole. Weird. I don't get him) But I enjoyed the investigation plotline tonight.
The preview for next week looked interesting as well with the possible vampire baby plotline and that the freaky Red Queen-ish vampire girl that seems like she's a pureblood or maybe even an elder bitching about Marcus. Plus BloodKrista. Good times.
