I took a chance on this set. I love the vampire genre, so I thought I’d give it a go.

It was like a paranormal version of Moonlighting from the 80′s, A torturous death march with no payoff.

I was literally fast forwarding hoping some characters would emotionally connect. What was the point of having a vampire in it, when he doesn’t go for the jugular…in the romance department?

There was no chemistry between the love triangle at all.

Special effects were super cheesy. Acting was dismal to the point of embarrassment. It had that (no offense) unidentifiable Canadian feel to it that is usually charming. The 1 star goes to Fitzroy,who deserves a medal for getting through this formulaic dreck still looking fabu.

I’ll put a stake in this post by stating that one gets a driven desire when a beloved series season ends…the anticipation for the new season is usually unbearable.

I have practically forgot the entire plot to Blood Ties and don’t expect to ever see the next season. If it happens. Give me Sookie any day….

Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of the Blood Books. This series did not live up to my expectations. It was filmed and written in a cheesy way. Not to mention I hated the fact that they chose to totally drop the Tony character, which I can only view as a way to play up the love triangle between Vikki, Henry and Mike. God forbid they have a gay character mudding up the water; how could Henry possiblly be interested in this guy when there’s this beautiful woman hanging around. We’ve read the books we know Henry’s bisexual, did the producers think that the larger population couldn’t handle it too. How short-sighted. And what was with the Coreen character. She was just a minor character in the first book and then forgotten. Not to mention the actress played her in such an annoying way. The producers just beefed-up her character as a replacement for Tony; I mean she basically ended up doing his job. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not a purist, usually I’ll roll with the punches when a book I love makes the jump from paper to screen, but come on there is no reasonable rational explanation for such unnecessary changes to the plot.

I love vampire shows and this one is ok, but I can see why it was pulled from lifetime, I love the vampire Henry but did not care for the other players. I wish the vampire Henry could have his own show with a better support cast.
