Blood Ties
June 2nd 2009 01:40
I watched the first few episodes of HBO's True Blood a few weeks ago when it came out on DVD. It inspired me to order the books by Charlaine Harris. I have also read all of the Twilight Saga books and am eagerly awaiting Edward's story. Nonetheless, Charlaine Harris' work was very original and well done. So, when I saw that the series BloodTies was out on DVD (tomorrow, actually), I felt that I should try it out, as well.
It is very Angelisc for those of us who recall the boyfriend of Buffy! There were some slight twists, though. The acting was excellent. I always wonder how it is that one that portray someone who fights and slays Medusa while keeping a straight face. I am also very fascinated by the entire mythical world when I view these shows. However, I am not fascinated enough by them to try to read and learn more about it. However, I was slightly taken in by BloodTies.
This series was about a cop turned private investigator who tries to turn hero in a dark alley one night. This action leads Vicki Nelson to Henry Fitzroy, a, big suprise, vampire. Of course, small town here and all, I am wondering if I should start looking for these books. I believe it stems from the enjoyment I get from the aggressive female portrayed by Vicki Nelson. She shows herself to be brave and spirited. She is, of course, the good guy. The ever stable, ever reliable hero. You know that she is going to save the day. Yet, she also has moments where you can see the vulnerable side of her. Let's face it, we all hide parts of ourself and we tend to try to hide our weaknesses the most. The same is true for Vicki Nelson. The actress does a great job portraying someone who is putting on a good front, but really desires someone to save her. Of course, she does get saved multiple times as she seems to be quickly getting herself in a love triangle between Henry and her former partner on the local police force.
Ladies, Henry is well worth the show! There are multiple times during the season where Henry's clothes are shredded off of him by some evil culprit or another. Of course, it doesn't hurt that he is also a very sexual creature. He makes no qualms about wanting Vicki who resists him throughout Season 1.
So, in addition to serving as a private investigator who fights evil mythical creatures, Vicki is also a woman fighting her own urges and needs. Henry, of course, is a good vampire, who avoids killing others to eat. For those faithful followers of Angel, it may or may not be up to your standards. I would not know, having only watched a few episodes of it myself. However, it is quite pleasantly entertaining. I certainly enjoyed it and hope that you will, as well. Afterall, I stayed up until 2am on a work night to watch all episodes of it.
