I watch it, I got turned on to it by one of my friends on shelfari suggested it, & I liked Blood Ties so I figured I would give it a try. So far I love it; I love PI & Law & Order shows, so if you throw a vampire in the mix I'm sure to be hooked.


1.) Blood Price
2.) Blood Trail
3.) Blood Lines
4.) Blood Pact
5.) Blood Debt
6.) Blood Bank (this is a collection of short stories about the 3 main characters)

Yes Laura, I got them all in the 3 volume set there on my to read pile.
I have all 6 books on my laptop, but I've only read Blood Prince so far. I'm afraid I'm addicted to buying books & I've only organized 1/6(if I'm lucky) of my e-books, much less read any of them so I have no clue when I will finish reading them. Blood Prince was really good I just have too many books.


Blood Ties is also great, but in a very different way for me. Any show that has an incubus and a vampire bonding over a discussion of how modern women have changed from past eras is going to draw my attention.







I have watched all the Blood Ties episodes, but can't seem to find out if they will be back or not. I thought it was doing okay, it's just the strike that is holding it back.


I have this image of the two of them sipping from fine crystal goblets wonderig why their respective younglings can not just enjoy what they are.

FK: 800 year old vampire meets woman and has hots for her
Angel: 200 year old vampire had hots for but left when it was obviously not going to work out late teens girl
Moonlight: 80 year old vamp creepily stalks little girl that his vamp wife kidnapped... watching this girl grow up and now that she's an adult wants to get in her pants.
Bit pervy on the Moonlight side of things. I mean Angel was getting there but Moonlight took that step... HAHA
That said, I have enjoyed Moonlight. Especially the further you get from the pilot. I think it could easily come into its own post-Writers Strike if given the chance.
Even if it's basically FK. Angel. Pick your poison. Angsty vamp hates what he's done and trying to make it all right as a detective...

Mick, he's still in the wallowing stage.


Of course I profess often on my blog to being a vamp... soooooooooo..... :)
I am tired of this mainstream tv vamp is angst personified. I swear Webster's needs photographs. Nick, Angel, and Mick can all be used as prime example of the ultimate angst. I think Freud would have a field day with them!

I haven't seen all of the Moonlight episodes, but the ones that I have seen I loved.

I've only watched a few episodes of Forever Knight so far but I can't really get into it. Maybe new vamps like Henry & Mick just ruined me. I already bought the first season of FK so I will finish watching them before I judge weather I like it or not.


(ridiculous spoiler alert -- might want to not read this if you plan to watch the show)

A blind woman's seeing-eye-dog had somehow become vampiric, bit his master, then flew out the window with her into the night.
I almost want to see the rest of the episode just to see what the heck was going on. Almost...

I can see your point though









Ja'niece, crossing her fingers and hoping for a miracle.




I started watching moonlight and my expectations weren't satisfied, as a vampire fanatic I hate the fact that the main character is some kind of hero that somehow dislikes his condition, lestat would have been a better exemplar of the specie. I droped it as a bad joke too... I don't like watching too much tv anyway
