Season 2-what say you?

[Chris Wallace]

Should they or shouldn't they?

 

[Lantern Venom]

Should they or shouldn't they?

No doubt it should be brought back. It's the best show on TV.

Yes, I said it!

 

[Philly Phanboy]

I voted no.

I honestly don't see anything worthwhile to making a second season. If anything, I'd sooner see them attempt to adapt another character to TV.

Overall I'd rate this series about a 6.5/10 so I didn't hate it, but there's not much to gain from another one. NBC is going to be doing their own vampire hunter series possibly later this year so Blade's target audience is by no means secure should they get pitted in the same time slot.

 

[Chris Wallace]

That last part of your statement is a weak reason, Phil. There's multiple cop dramas on TV. There's multiple court dramas on TV. There's multiple hospital dramas & married couple sitcoms as well. These have managed to coexist w/o being a threat to each other. And it's unlikely that NBC would put their vampire show in Blade's timeslot.

Just the same, there's bound to be comparisons between the two series and budget wise an NBC project has the upper hand.

What would be wrong with them adapting a new character for every half-season run?

 

[Chris Wallace]

I don't know; generally superhero TV shows suck. Blade worked b/c it didn't have the elements that for some reason TV can't seem to handle-costumes, secret identities, etc.

 

[ReptileOrion]

I hope the show returns for a second season. Most of the stuff on TV is crap anyway. It is actually one show I tune into each week. I'm tired of all the comedies and dramas from NBC, ABC, and CBS.

Moreover, cable tv can be more agressive in its programing. I doubt NBC could produce a vampire show with the type of rawness as Blade and get past their censors.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

Bring it back or else!

So do I. The only thing they (apparently) can't say on Spike is the f-word.

 

[GeoffTheArtist]

I liked it 'cause it was more "Blade". It wasn't terrible. Bring it back!

I don't think the NBC vampire show would be much of a threat. Blade is already out there, and has an almost built in audience either from the movies or the TV show now. The NBC show will have to build an audience, and it will probably be in rougher waters at NBC to prove itself. If NBC hasn't taken the critical hit Battlestar Galactica and ran it on the network on a regular basis, and cancelled the so-so in ratings Surface, I wonder how much patience the suits at NBC will have for their genre/vamp show if it isn't an instant smash?

Also adapting a new character every half-season would probably be way too expensive. I mean, will they use the same producers, writers, actors, etc? What about costumes, FX, etc? Also, if Blade-with a cinematic history and a built-in audience flounders-why do you think the Spike suits would spend money on Moon Knight, Brother Voodoo, Doctor Strange, or other Marvel properties?

I think giving Blade another season to run the current storyline out and to see if it picks up an audience is a good move. I hope that's what Spike does, or another network sees the potential in Blade and picks it up.

 

[Mr.Phunk]

yes dammit no doubt about it of course it shuld come back for season 2!

 

[Golgo-13]

Wouldn't it be cool if Snipes had a cameo as a vampire pimp in the second season!

Anyway i say bring it back.

 

[AWMascot]

yes

 

[ghostripper238]

I'm really loving this show, and Blade is one of my favorite Marvel heroes ever. I'm liking the stories and especially Chase. So yes, to a season two, I really want to see more of the show develops, and if it can reach a third season.

 

[XBRoughneck]

Yes

I'm starting to wonder why a network like Sci Fi hasn't offered to take over the show. Sure, they might have to tone down some of the stuff, but they could still keep it pretty riske'. Just air it later on Friday nights.

 

[Lantern Venom]

Good point.

 

[deathshead2]

This show its ok no where near the great ness that was blade 1 and 2. But its better than 3 but just barely. But these later episodes have been a little better. So a season 2 would be nice to see.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

The show has been getting better every week, I really hope it gets renewed.

 

[MARVELous M]

Bring on season 2!

All true. plus, how would the continuation of Blade affect them starting other properties?

The show deserves a second season. I would rate season 1 a 8/10. Kirk got better as the season went along and the story lines are very good.

I disagree with your NBC point. Blade fans are not going to stop watching the show because there is another vampire series on NBC. We do not know if the new show is going to be better than Blade. I dont think a vampire show on NBC would be as graphic as Blade either. And let's be real: If the NBC show is any good, we will watch both (that whats VCRs are for).

 

[Chris Wallace]

With each rebuttal, Phil's argument gets weaker.

 

[OptimusPrimeRib]

I certainly hope we get another season. It's been getting better with every episode in my opinion. I'm even getting used to "Sticky".
