I thought the pilot was good enough, I went in expecting the worst and thought the it showed a lot of promise. Like that their keeping very true to the world the movies established, showing footage from the first movie and referencing the inhaler from the third was a nice touch. I'm looking forward to seeing some drugged up wanna be vamps. I felt Blade had enough on screen time, most everyone watching this show knows who Blade is, they need to introduce the other characters and when you're gonna have one become a vamp, she's gonna need more screen time, I really hope they show her inner struggle to keep her vampire instincts down and help Blade. Some of you guys watching this need to lower your expectations, it's a TV show on Spike, you're not gonna get the production values of a network show, let alone a major motion picture. That being said, I think it would've been a lot cooler if F/X had this show with what they're doing with Rescue Me and the Shield, this show would be really great there.
