"Blade: The Series"

**RebelMan** · 06-29-2006, 12:04 AM

I think the this 1st Season is suppose to be what happens between the first movie & the second movie. Which means if they get a 2nd Season that one will probably take place between the second movie & third movie & that if they get a 3rd Season & more those will probably take place after the third movie.

I'm still unsure on the guy who is playing Blade. They did use some of the same lines they used in the first movie. Also they show Blade's birth scene that was used in the first movie too. They also introduce a character that was a friend of Whistler to explain everything that was already explained in the first movie to Krista who I'm guessing is an ex-cop or atleast ex-military. They also explain how the vampires see the hidden glyphs that are painted on buildings. I was surprised they turned Krista into a vampire & made her an undercover agent for Blade.

I'll just have to keep watching to see if I'll like it or not.

just took me this two hours to not like it. but i'll probably tune in to see if it improves. but yeah that rapper turn actor playing blade doesn't seem right to me.

**open32** · 06-29-2006, 03:29 AM

I saw it tonight. I cant stand the guy they have playing blade. Worst choice. I like the girl though. The show itself is not done well, parts of it look like something done from 10-20 years ago and low budget. I cant fit it into the movies yet, ill see another episode to see if it picks up. This actor is gona be the reason I stop watching it.

"Blade: The Series" Premieres with 2.5 Million Viewers
Source: Spike TV
June 29, 2006

The premiere of Spike TV's first original scripted action-adventure offering Blade: The Series on Wednesday, June 28 (10:00 PM - Midnight, ET/PT) drew record ratings for the network with a 2.0 HH rating and 2.5 million viewers, the highest premiere in network history for an original series. Additionally, Blade: The Series was the #1 entertainment show for the night with Men 18-34 and 18-49.

Blade: The Series tallied triple-digit gains in all key male demos versus last year including up +517% in M18-34 (2.6 rating, 680,000 viewers), up +472% in M18-49 (2.2, 1.17 million), up +277% in viewers (2.5 million), and up +247% in household rating (2.0, 1.8 million).

"We promised action and adventure with our first scripted series and really delivered," said Doug Herzog, president, Spike TV. "Our targeted audience of men came through for us with big numbers. 'Blade: The Series' serves as a launch pad for future original scripted shows."

Additionally, starting today, iTunes users can download a FREE copy of the two-hour premiere of Blade: The Series through July 11. The one-hour weekly series' second episode premieres on Wednesday, July 5 (10:00 - 11:00 PM ET/PT). New episodes will be available for purchase on iTunes the day after their premiere on Spike TV.

Blade: The Series features Kirk "Sticky" Jones in the title role as Marvel's immortal half-man, half-vampire who uses his superhuman powers and skills to fearlessly battle the demonic creatures of the night in a blood- drenched crusade to prevent their rise over mankind. The series also stars Jill Wagner as double-agent "Krista Starr," Neil Jackson as "Marcus," Blade's chief nemesis and head of the Chthon House; Jessica Gower as "Chase," a seductive vampire who is devoted to Marcus; and Nelson Lee as "Shen," a technology genius and Blade's confidante.

Blade: The Series is based on the Marvel Super Hero and Produced by New Line Television. Bill McGoldrick, Vice President, Original Programming and Lisa Ullmann, Director of Original Programming, are executives in charge of production at Spike TV. Jim Rosenthal and Jon Kroll of New Line Television, Ari Arad, Executive Vice President, Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and David Goyer ("Blade" films, Batman Begins) all serve as series executive producers.

Wow, suprising numbers. Dont think there going to keep even half of them.

rlm · 06-30-2006, 05:05 AM

this show seems to take place between blade 1 and 2. at least that what it felt like to me.

Gumby · 06-30-2006, 05:43 AM

My VCR only recorded the first hour, but that was enough. It was kinda funny watching Sticky Jones walk around like a dork pretending to be Blade. He's just not as charismatic, athletic, or skilled in martial arts as Wesley Snipes to make the character work. He reminds me of the Star Wars Kid. Plus, he's not that good of an actor. He could barely hold his own in his scenes with Michael Chiklis in "The Shield."

Besides that, the script was absolutely terrible. If people are going to watch Blade, they probably know his story from the movies. Why rehash what we already know? Why isn't Blade searching for Whistler? The opening of Blade 2 said he'd been relentless searching for him.

Snipes' Blade was the man. Sticky Blade would get his ass whooped by Buffy.

farsighted · 07-05-2006, 11:03 AM

I liked the movies, but the show doesn't look like it's going to be any good. I'll stick to Eureka if I'm going to watch something on scifi, that's on the horizon and is looking sweet.

**open32** · 07-05-2006, 02:53 PM

Ya Eureka looks good. And I cant wait for sci fi friday to return with Stargate and Battlestar. Only 2 weeks.
