[PhoenixRise]

You know what to do...

Edit: The episode title is Delivery.

I liked it.

whoever the little girl who is playing Charlotte is, she is friggin AWESOME.

a good amount of Character Development in this episode to.

I can't wait till next week. Bokeem is coming back, more Blade Character Development, and WHISTLER!

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah i was a bit surprised when they showed a young whister in the preview for next week.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

This show is getting better each week an next week we get Whistler! Storylines are developing nicely, Krista let herself get pretty f'ed up this episode, liked her elimination of the strike squad though. One thing I didn't like is the promo they played for the encore showed Krista's screwed up eye.

 

[Savage]

Very good episode. Action is getting better and better and he actually looks like he can kick ass. I just wish he didn't have such trouble with these guys. This is the guy who was an exact match with Nomak.

As for next week's ep, looks like either Whistler lied to Blade or their so-called meeting was planned. Maybe Blade's father and Whistler made a deal.

 

[Sabretooth]

I keep missing the new episodes. I'm sure I'll miss the rerun on Sunday too.

 

[Fanticon]

Next weeks looks awesome...I swear they showed Shen dead with his throat ripped out...my gf gasped...she doesn't really like the show but she thinks he's funny...Its probably just a dream sequence of Blades...I hope.

This show is getting better by the week. Seeing Chase burned to a crisp was very cool but it looks like she will eventually be fully regenerated. Although this is cable, Spike Tv is being very lenient with this show when it comes to all the bad language, if the show had been on any other network the would have edited them out etc. They say God damn on the show like it was nothing & plus other expletives that would have been censored otherwise on different channels. Maybe this show will be the first to use the ever popular F-Word on a show & it not be censored out.

 

[Lantern Venom]

The show is really picking up steam now. Sitcky has settled in the role and the scripts are fleshing out his motivation. The fight scenes are good but short probably to avoid monotony.

I like the tension between the vampire houses and the urgency building with aurora. Vanessa carrying only fluid in her stomach was a nice twist as was her wish for vengeance.

Krista smoking the 4 vamps in the car was awesome. I also liked her logic behind Blade cutting her to make it look to MVS that Blade had tried to kill her. Good idea since a war vet would probably think along those lines.

The various make-ups jobs on Chase were nice. I'm glad she's not dead yet.

I'm primed for the impending flashback eppy w/ Whistler!

My favorite line of the episode:

Vanessa : "I'll scream."

Blade : 'I'll stop you."

 

[KenK]

Yeah, I don't know if I like Blade pimp-slappin' pregnant women, but it was for her own good, I guess. I love that we're seeing a network of associates Blade works with, as one of the things I hated in Trinity was the implication that Blade thought he was the only one taking on the vampires, even though the first film has Whistler clearly stating that there were "others" besides him and Blade fighting the vampires. I was kinda hoping Blade's "doctor" friend would end up being Karen Jensen, but I guess you can't win 'em all. It'll be interesting to see young Whistler next week, though. I've come to accept they're not following the movies explicitly, especially in terms of Blade's origin, as it does seem rather vague in the movies, in the sense that there's no indication of what his life was like before the thirst took over at puberty.

Seeing Chase over the course of the episode was great, although I seriously doubt she'd still be smoking from the explosion in the hours it must have taken them to fly her from Berlin to Detroit.

And I was also pissed that the promos for the encore spoiled Krista's injury. Granted, the make-up job could have been better, and Jill Wagner needed to control her blinking a bit better, 'cause it showed in the eye that was covered in the wound makeup. They got the point across, though.

I loved that there was this theme of mothers that carried through the episode. Blade dealing with his mother, Vanessa (as the doctor pointed out, her name is the same as Blade's mother) simply wanting her "baby" to be safe, and Krista finding out her mother has cancer.

 

[Chris Wallace]

What can I say here that hasn't already been said? Great show.

 

[Savage]

Another thing I liked about this ep was seeing Kirk express himself without the glasses. His expression when he woke up from the nightmare was pure Blade and pretty badass looking. I also liked the scene near the end where he was reminiscing. Good stuff. Nice to see the hero's eyes every once in a while.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Kirk is trying to claim this role for his own. He has to bring as much as he can to this character. What he has done is prove he's not just another rapper trying to act.

 

[The Sage]

Cause Lord knows there's too many of them as it is.

 

[vibeke_T]

I liked the episode...the only think that looked ******ed was when Blade woke up from the dream, that was SOOOO cheesy!

 

[Chris Wallace]

Cause Lord knows there's too many of them as it is.

Maybe his rap career being so short-lived was a good thing.

 

[The Sage]

Maybe his rap career being so short-lived was a good thing.

Don't mean to get sidetracked, but: Did that sound like a black person who's voicing Black Panther in Ultimate Avengers 2?

 

[Chris Wallace]

It better be.

 

[Superman: Idols]

Strong episode--I loved the flashbacks, and it's nice to see an episode where Kirk is not merely hssing his lines.

 

[Golgo-13]

OK. I've just come off of ban status, so i can finally voice my opinion.

It seems that everyone here has stated that they love this episode, so did i but.......... just when i thought this show was taking steps forward in the direction of improvement, it took '2' steps back last night. These are the 2 issues i have with last night's episode:

1) Vampires running along ceilings-wtf! The train fight scene. The Vampire woman is scaling across the ceiling like Spiderman. Am i the only one who has an issue with this? What made the movies so awesome, and the vampire mytho's within the Blade universe so real and fresh, was the fact that Vampirism was treated as a mere 'virus'; one that's side effects grants it's 'patient' (if you will) with Superhuman strength, and an uncontrollable bloodlust. It made Vamps believable. Last night i saw Spike taking Blade: The Series down the Buffy/Angel/ Van helsing road. These feats of near impossiblitiy do not belong with Vamps of the Blade universe. Please Spike, keep this show grounded in reality as much as you can- like Blade 1 and 3 were. NO MORE SPIDER-VAMPS PLEASE!

2) Blade being saved by a human. Once again Blade has trouble dispatching a mere vampire lackey during the train sequence. And once again he is saved by a human. A pregnant woman at that!(no offense ladies).Now i know hormones during pregnancy do amazing things to a womans body and all, but giving them the skill to kill a being with superhuman strength is not one of them.

These gripes i have may seem like i'm nitpicking but if they continue, i truly believe they will destroy the quality and potential this show has. Besides that everything else was on par...can't wait for Whistler next week!

 

[KenK]

I actually liked the wall-crawling vampires. Vampire cliches like that are fun in small doses. Like the reapers in Blade II. Not to mention the first Blade when Blade was introduced, and all the vampires are doing that slow "backing-away" movie with their hands and hissing. Like I said, I think it works in small doses, and I trust them not to make a habit of it.

 

[Savage]

Actually I think they're trying to take the show down the road of the comic a bit in exploring the different types of vampires. They were in Europe after all so there are bound to be different breeds. Stronger, being closer to the origin and all.

I'd like to see some winged ones too. Some that look pure animal. Not all vampires can blend in and that should be explored.

And I want to see a Reaper! They can be written into it...somehow.

 

[Golgo-13]

Winged vamps might be pushing it, although i would like to have seen Dracula in Trinity as something like that. I still like the way vamps were in Blade 1-believable.

 

[TRUE]

ep was really good
