All Shall Love Me and Despair

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone comments you and asks — and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.


( This way to my answers )

Yes, there were a few where I would have liked to elaborate... :)


And TVShowsonDVD.com have some news about the Booker DVD release, which is scheduled for August 25th, and also for Blood Ties "Season 2" a.k.a. the second half of Season 1, which is scheduled for October 6th - there's a link to the preorder pages on Amazon for both DVD sets.

See details (and the cover art for "The Complete Season 1" a.k.a. "It's Really Season 1 Part 1") here:

I hope tonight I'll get around to post the other interesting links I've opened in various tabs on my laptop at home.

Who the hell is responsible for the new episode title sequence on the British Blood Ties DVDs? Particularly, the very annoying, totally unsuitable song that replaces the nice, simple melody they used in the original? That person should be slapped around, HARD. Yeah, so the lyrics include "want to live forever", big deal - but the style is just WRONG for BT! It's like one of those nervous dance songs and it makes me want to crawl. out. of. my. skin. Did they already use it in the UK TV broadcast?

Why do they do stupid things like this?!

At least according to Kristin at E!online:

Could Blood Ties Come Back?!

Fans, your voices have been heard!

When I posted our TV Throwdown, I asked you guys to email me if a show you loved was missing from the list. Fans of Lifetime's canceled vampire drama, Blood Ties, responded in droves.

If you haven't been watching, here's how fan Tami Z. describes it: "Blood Ties should be on the list of best shows of 2007! It's a great drama about a take-charge woman P.I. that teams up with a sexy vampire to solve 'strange' cases, which also tend to involve her ex-partner/lover cop. The great chemistry among the three main actors (Christina Cox, Kyle Schmid and Dylan Neal) combine with the witty one-liners to make this show completely addicting. You can watch the past 22 episodes on Lifetime's Website. It's a crime drama you can really sink your teeth into! (Pun totally intended.)"

Not that I don't love any show that generates bad puns, but since Blood had been booted from the airwaves, as a dead show it was disqualified from the poll...right?

Not so fast! Because so many of you were so passionate about this series, I did some digging (I've learned never to underestimate a rabid fanbase), and lo and behold, there is hope!

omgomgomg please let them find "a vampire-friendly guardian angel with deep pockets"!!!

January 28th in the UK

"mid 2008" in the US

Well I guess it's clear which version I'll go for. And should the US version have any extras worth getting that the UK version doesn't have, I guess I'll just end up with two sets.

Now if those bastards at Lifetime would just renew it... *mutter grumble*

According to Bloodtiescentral.com, "In an interview, producer Peter Mohan said they [DVDs] will be out at the end of 2007. In the US (region 1) anyway." Nothing on Amazon.com so far - but Amazon.co.uk is already listing it for a February 2008 release. I wanted to say "So it's direct to DVD in the UK," but apparently it's airing "on Living Plus 1, starting Thursday, August 16 at 20:00" and uuuuh RTL2 is supposed to be showing it in Germany, but I sure as hell can't find any info on their website so far (not surprisingly - they usually take 2 or 3 years until they pick up a US series), so maybe they are planning on it. Not like I'd want to see it dubbed anyway... *shudder*

Oooooh and very very cool casting spoiler(  related to my 'who would I have sex with' list so I hope it's true: )

Blood Ties is finally back this Friday!!! *bounce bounce bounce* Will have to go look for a download as soon as I'm back from RingCon. :D

- Italicise all of the following TV shows which you've ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime.
- Bold a show if you're positive you've seen every episode of it.
- If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).


( This way to my list )


Yay, my Blood Ties download already finished - now I can watch it during lunch break! \o/

Yup, you probably guessed it - some Blood Ties icons, concentrating on Henry of course. :) I've put three behind a cut because they were taken from some (action) moments from episodes 3 (#3) and 8 respectively (#4 and #5), though taken out of context, they shouldn't really spoil anything. Just a warning - the last one in particular may cause spontaneous combustion... *fans self*

1. 2.

( Behold the Beast )

And no, this doesn't have anything to do with Daniel Radcliffe or Equus... of which I really should write a review but it's very difficult to put my feelings into words. The very short version is that it was very good, very gripping and intense, and I admire Daniel a hell of a lot for taking on this challenging role! I still need to download my pics from this trip, but will post some soon, hopefully. In any case it was a lovely time! :)

So, regarding that other thing... serenitysangel mentioned a while ago that there would be a new vampire series, Blood Ties, based on a series of books by Tanya Huff. She also had found some pictures and yes the vampire certainly looked rather tasty. I put the books on my Amazon Wishlist and then kinda forgot about it again. Yesterday I found a link in anatketani's LJ to a Youtube user who has uploaded all the episodes (up to #8 - the missing fith clip of the episode "Love Hurts" is here, btw.), in their entirety. I watched the two-part pilot last night, and the rest of the series today, and omgomgomg this is sooooo good and Henry (the vampire) is very hot and I love the (sexual) tension between the three leads. Now that I had a taste I can't wait for more! I really should know better... *headdesk* As serenitysangel likes to say, "I can resist anything but temptation" - certainly when it comes to certain subjects... :)
