Let me first just say that I am sooo angry, and so saddened by the fact that this show is seemingly gone. I mean, I didn't expect it to last too terribly long, but I wasn't expecting such a terrible, terrible ending to the Henry-Vicki-Mike love triangle. I actually cried! I'm crossing my fingers that Sci-fi or some other cable network will start buying this, since lifetime doesn't know what they had. This episode was maybe one of the best of the whole show; the acting was better than the others, the story well thought out, and the writing funny, poignant and touching. I hope there's someway this can come back. =(

I agree. I only recently heard of the show on Lifetime from "Moonlight" discussion forums. I've since watched all 22 episodes. I was disappointed in how "Deep Dark" ended as well. Henry is more tempermentally suited to Vicky than Mike is. I was hoping Mike would get involved with his new partner while Vicky explored her relationship with Henry. But I guess we would need a true Season 2 for anything like that to actually happen. I did like the writing and the way Henry and Mike briefly, but tellingly, spoke about their feelings for Vicky and how out of reach she was emotionally. This was done in a short, typically male, fashion.
In these last two episodes, both Mike and Henry were honest with themselves and with Vicky. However, she was too self-absorbed and goal-oriented to really notice what they were telling her - totally shutting out her emotions and reactions. It broke my heart to see Henry look at her and make his plans to leave. Likewise, when Mike told Vicky that he spent a year getting over her then another year trying to get her back. His comment that she wasn't going to get together with "capatain canine" either was funny and got straight to the point that she wasn't letting either of them near her.
I think Vicky finally got it. Whether she would be willing to change or not we may never know. Seriously, that Lifetime chose to not air the last two NEW episodes in favor of reruns of Will and Grace is completely outrageous.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Blood Ties with it's supernatural and romantic themes and I think it deserves another season and a much better network. It seems like USA would be the ideal network for this series, as it is mainstream and PG rated like Dead Zone. Even CW would be a better network - they do air Supernatural and Smallville, after all. While Blood Ties isn't quite as sophisticated, modern, and intense as "Moonlight", there is room for more than one vampire show.
Give Vicky and Henry (and Mike) a chance!

I'm sorry but I'm so mad at lifetime because where i am from i didn't even get to see "deep dark" the last episode i saw was "the good the bad and the ugly" Don't asked me why. Because I've been looking for the show to be on. And i think lifetime is really, really stupid if they drop the show, (if they haven't already) because i think it is the best show on that channel, and if i don't find out what happens I'm going to write a email to the network myself because this show really is the best vampire show out there. Just my thoughts and again sorry

I did not like the ending at all, it was really tragic. Although I didnt like the ending of the books I was more dissapointed with this one andI too was hoping that it would end with Henry and Vicki together and that we would see the forming of a relationship between Mike and his partner but I guess that this non-happy ending is more realistic.

But like someone said, Vicki finally realized what she was doing, but now we'll never know if she decides to change. That is what makes me the most angry. More angry than if there had been no Vicki-Henry-Mike revelations.

Hi Gang,

I totally love this show too...an the ending of this ep. set up so much great stuff for a future season! Let's just hope the funding comes through soon, and Vicki and Henry can live happily ever after!!

I've always felt that if Henry turned Vicki they do have something so unique about their relationship that they could live in relative harmony together (I'm an optomist - this I know)

There are few shows I will stop my life to watch. Blood Ties had it hands down. I read Tanya Huff's books years ago and was suprised and excited to see they made a show based on the characters. The last one was such a cliffhanger that SOMEONE needs to pick it up. I think Sci Fi Channel would be an excellent home for BT. The fan base would only growwith a network that caters to theshowsthat don't necessarily follow the formula for the masses. Even if we only get one more season to wrap things up, it would be worth it.
