The unofficial fansite for the television show Blade: The Series.

Joponica has sent in a “two parter” with the first part asking about the second season. I mentioned in the previous Reader Question post (Joponica wrote in before I made that post) that I’m on the look out for when they announce any second season info, and I’ll be posting it the moment I get it. The second part of Joponica’s email is what this post is all about and it asks for some interpretations and predictions on Marcus’ intentions towards Krista.

This may not be the forum to ask this, but will they post if the show gets renewed? We see Marcus’s hatred against to purebloods and now Chase knows as well. I still don’t get why he turned Krista. I noticed that when Glynnis refered to Marcus’s woman Charlotte thought automatically of Chase, but Glynnis meant Krista. Thus far, we have seen nothing but maybe sexual tension between the two. What do you think Marcus really turned Krista for? Did he kill ger brother to bring her to him?

So why did our main villain turn the once innocent beauty? Last night’s episode revealed a possible reason when pureblood Alex told Chase that Marcus was falling into old habits, namely that Krista resembled Marcus’ wife. This little tidbit opens up a whole new world of possible motivations for Marcus. If Alex was telling the truth, and Marcus did have a wife, his turning of Krista could be as simple as him seeing his wife in her. I don’t think it’s that easy though.

I’m thinking Marcus still doesn’t fully trust Chase, which is sad since she betrayed an ex lover and risked her life helping Marcus and his experiments (which she didn’t know the full scope of until recently - and she may not still know everything). We know Chase is vicious and manipulative, but so far she has been extraordinarily loyal to Marcus. However, the pilot episode showed her smirk when Marcus was sent in to the purebloods to be disciplined for turning Krista without permission.
