Blade: The Series

If you don't know, now ya know
Almost unwatchable. The only thing that keeps me tuning in is a lack of other stuff to watch, and the SUPER-HOTTTT Jill Wagner. I'd let her bit me, and not just on the neck.

10x worse than Blade: Trinity, and that's sayin' something.

Still not as bad as Witchblade, though.
 
Blade is fucking crapola of the first order. The series I downloaded out of a morbid curiosity. Total bollocks.

I refuse to watch Trinity. Blade 2 is one of the worst movies I have ever had the displeasure of watching. The first one was ok, not a bad film but nothing special. Everything else connected to the franchise has been absymal.
 
I loved Blade II. But the first one is still the best. Trinity was...well, there are no words to describe that train wreck. Although looking at Ryan Reynolds all buffed up made it a little easier to watch.

Surely you mean "looking at the SUPER-HOTT Jessica Biel" made it easier to watch, yes?
 
Jessica Biel does absolutely nothing for me. I think she's rather plain looking. <g>

Besides, I'm a girl...I gotta watch movies for the men, not the women. Though I'll admit when there's a female hottie, but she wasn't one of them.
 
^^Really? I think she's pretty. The best of the Jessica trioka (Biel, Simpson, Alba)...well, ok, Alba is pretty too. Wow, you don't like her:

I really want to enjoy this show, as I like the Blade character and enjoyed the first two movies a great deal.

But after the pilot and the second episode...meh. It's just so boring. And when there is something other than melodramatic exchanges or "hey look, it's late and we can get away with 'shit' and showing some gore!," it's brief, poorly choreographed action which sees Blade getting his ass kicked. I'm all about a vulnerable hero, but this is too much.

Blade must have gone to the Captain Archer school of fisticuffs.

I haven't watched the third episode yet, so I'll chime in after I watch it later this weekend. I dig Goyer's work and Geoff Johns is one of the best writers in comics today, but this show just isn't working for me enough to keep watching.
 
I've given up on this one already as well.

I like Blade and the concept of the whole series but so far this has had the uncomftable feel of a campy 60s superhero show.

They've got Blade the hero, that ho who's becoming his sidekick and doubles as the vulnurable female, and the master ub3R tech genius back at home base. Also the three of them are going after the crimminal organisation (vampires).

It's ok to have characters fitting into these roles but when its made so obvious and is executed so poorly it's hard to stay with waiting for it to get better.
 
I watched the 3rd episode, primarily out of boredome. Spike did a smart thing scheduling the series when the only thing on TV is reality-tv dreck (Hell's Kitchen and BB All-Stars excluded!).

You know your show is in trouble when the B story is much more interesting than the Hero's story. I'm much more interested to find out what happens to the Krista character and her vampire kin than I am to see Blade dust vamps. Probably because Jill Wagner has a bit of acting skill, and the vamp who plays Marcus is very good, while Kirk "Sticky" Jones has NO acting ability, or even charisma.
 
It must be really bad, because I had no idea a series had even been commissioned. Cancellation, here Blade comes!
 
I think Goyer and Johns should have said no to a series and instead developed their original idea for Blade III as a mini-series, then sold it to Sci-Fi.

The story takes place in a future which has seen the vampire houses take over the planet. Humanity now exists as a food supply, with pockets of resistance fighting the good fight when they can.

This is not distant future, I'd say, more like thirty or so years. The vampire leaders have a trophy in their HQ: the skeletal remains of the Daywalker. A resistance cell breaks into the compound, steals the skeleton, and brings Blade back from the dead. He then leads the resistance against the supreme ruler of the vampires, Dracula himself.

The studio scrapped this idea for the usual Hollywood asinine reasons. Anyway, Goyer and Johns could have developed this idea, and then spent a lot of time looking for the perfect person to play Blade.

If the mini turned out to be a hit, it could have become a hit, a la BSG.

Sadly, this show will probably get "ashed" itself by the end of the summer, and Blade will disappear from the screen.
