Fantasy
On the mean streets of Detroit, an ancient evil is growing bolder by the day. The House of Chthon is on the verge of eliminating the final barriers to their supremacy over mankind, and only the Daywalker can stop them. Half human, half immortal. His only allies are a master weaponsmith and a woman… More obsessed with revenge against Chthon. And he will stop at nothing to win his war, because he is the ultimate vampire hunter. His name is Blade.
I just want to set the record straight especially fror those who think(see the thread below-Buffy vs Blade vamps) that Blade vamps are better or superior than Buffy's. That's laughable!! In truth exactly the opposite is true...Blade vamps will ALWAYS be inferior to Buffy's. Here are… More FACTS : Blade vamps can die in 12 ways (that i found so far) while Buffy vamp in only 5 ways (there are no other). If you want me to elaborate on this let me know and i'll spell it for you...These facts cannot change and the fact is that Blade vamps are so ridiculously easy to kill and in so many ways that it's not even funny. A vampire's biggest power is immortality and Buffy's are much closer to it than Blade's by FAR...There's at least one truly immnortal vampire in the Buffyverse while there are NONE in Bladeverse(although they have tried). In Buffyverse all vampires grow more powerful with age and loose weaknesses as they go along whereas in Blade(with a few exceptions) quite the opposite happens. In Buffyverse all vamps can potentially become truly invincible(or extremely powerful) either through magic or their own evolution. In Bladeverse no such thing exists.(Deacon Frost doesn't count he died(emphasis on dying here) like a punk by turning into bubblegum, lol). Not to mention the fact that all Buffy's vamps possess eternal life(or youth) like any self respecting vampire while Blade not so clear some age some don't (depending on their line or purity of the retrovirus in their blood) and i find that to be the biggest weakness of all. Buffy= pure supernatural ; Blade= a mere infection , a genetic virus. = No contest imo. Unlike rabid ignorant Blade fans i'm a vampire lover and know both mythologies thoroughly. Don't get me wrong i enjoy the Blade films(less the series) for their look and coolness but that's about it. But Buffy's vamps have always been cooler to me in terms of their look , esthetic and mythology. I just can't take seriously a vampire mythology where you can kill them by sprinkling some liquid garlic their way or on their skin and they start to melt. Or uv lamps and weapons or silver bullets where even a child can shoot them from afar and kill them(if their aim is good granted), but shining a lamp on them or uv grenade is easier still. The point is you can't do any of those things to Buffy's-ONLY the CLASSIC ways work). This is the very problem .Blade vamps have very little dignity because of the all the asinine ways they can be killed , period.
Jill Wagner just announced on her myspace site that Blade the series has been cancelled.
guy's anyone knows? if they're gonna make new seasons for blade?they and it like a be continue way.
Blade: The Series is one of the best action tv shows on television ever. I thought it is the best in the Blade Trilogy. One of my most favorite episodes was the pilot Blade: House of Chthon. I loved this series so much but I cannot believe it was cancelled just after thirteen episodes (including the pilot) Though it did suck the Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones took over the role of Blade from Wesley Snipes but the Blade Trilogy will always be remembered. I really liked the action of this series. It had great vampire action and violence. This should've never been cancelled. Farewell Blade: The Series.
Creative and well controlled writing since a long time. Not as slow as lost, and not as fast as heroes, just the right plot development. hide show
It is interesting to see that the audience responds badly to strait and tight plots. It seems that they need some absurdity to be pleased from a show.
You can find these absurdities in shows like heroes and lost.
White bears in the jungle, people healing for no apparent reason, islands disappearing or moving around without a goal. for Lost...
Or 20 different characters becoming good or bad every next episode, trying to save the world... from themselves, Being shocked all the time by events like "this is your real father" (which confuses them more than their powers btw). for heroes.
In short, those are Mixed Soup plots to keep the viewer tuned.
I was extremely sure when I first decide to check Blade "the tv series" that I would meet non-sens and absurdity in person. I was wrong.
Blade's main plot is as simple as intriguing and easy to watch, and the side stories are well served, never boring. Blade itself disappears for a while to appear exactly when it should.
There may be some amateur moves in the shooting or cutting of some scenes, but they never spoil the show.
As they mostly are in the Marvel Comics. The Cast is excellent and fit well their covering their lack in acting skills.
The action and episodes are well balanced, each character has its time, and is well developed.
And most of all, for the first time, vampires are not shown as "Halloween Monsters" with weird costumes or make up as in Buffy, but they are seriously treated "a la supernatural".
Maybe the casual viewer may not choose to watch such a dark show, but where are the hardcore Fans of the genre who lets such a show being canceled? watching supernatural perhaps?
Bring it back!!! i want this show brought back now. The plot was f****** awesome. I loved everything about show! Just by watching the pilot I was hooked hide show
Bring it back!!! I want this show brought back now. The plot was f****** awesome. I loved everything about show! Just by watching the pilot I was hooked - In the pilot, Krista Starr returns from military service in Iraq to learn that her twin brother, Zack, has died under mysterious circumstances. Her investigation reveals that Zack was a "familiar" - a kind of indentured servant who agrees to do a vampire's bidding in the hopes that his "master" will eventually reward him with eternal life. Krista's search for her brother's killer soon brings her face to face with Blade, as well as with the killer himself, Marcus Van Sciver, a powerful vampire and high ranking member of the House of Chthon. Smitten with Krista, Marcus decides to turn her into a vampire by injecting her with his blood. Krista is then approached by Blade, who injects her with the same serum he uses to control his own vampire instincts, and offers her a chance to help him avenge her brother's death and bring down Marcus and the House of Chthon, and revealed that Zack was trying to do a sting operation with Blade. The two form a reluctant partnership. This series was awesome.. And I really do wish they would bring it back.
what the hell were the creaters smoking when they wrote this expertly put trash? hide show
first off yes i did just see the pilot episode and yes it was so bad that i did'nt even finish watching it.(yes it was that bad!)Okay! i'm a big fan of the movies(note: only one&two tinity was trash!),and i like mr.snipes in action flicks so you could only imagine how happy i might have been when word got out that there will be a blade tv show spin-off.off course wesley was'nt going to be in the show so they pick that dude from flight of the phenox which looks nothing like blade or wesley snipes.The fight scences were horrific and the dialoge was lame and dull couple that a very weak pilot episode plot and you get a blade-errific nightmare.Then there were a few things that just pist me off for starters the new blade can't fight his way out of thin air,secound the acting on blade's part and the cast was terrible especially blade,and thrid they completely changed blades look i mean what happend to those really pimpin vest from the movies? then since when dose he need infered shades to help him see whos a vampier or not?(stupid)and last(which this really pist me off the most) since when dose blade get his rear kick'd by well...every one i mean almost every villian in the pilot beat the crap out of blade as if he were a some extra in a low-buget martial-art flick. so in conclusion may this marvel nightmare be put to rest in peace and hopefully it dose'nt stay on the air for long.

I wished they kept this series airing on the television. I really liked this series because it was based on the movies that I also love to watch in my free time or when I am bored. To anyone who have not seen the series at all you should. The series is different from the movies but still good and have a lot of things that are the same. I wished they bring it back in some form but if they do not then I am glad I was able to see it when I could. It was an o.k. series when it was airing.
