Poll Results: Who Doesn’t Like Angels and Demons?

So the tallies are in and surprisingly (to me at least), it wasn’t the pilot or the finale that took home the most votes. Below are the final numbers.

What’s Your Favorite Episode?
Episode 10: Angels and Demons: 39% (53)
Episode 13: Conclave: 26% (36)
Episode 12: Monsters: 10% (14)
Episode 1&2: Pilot: 9% (12)
Episode 8: Sacrifice: 5% (7)
Episode 5: Bloodlines: 4% (6)
Episode 9: Turn of the Screw: 2% (3)
Episode 11: Hunters: 2% (3)
Episode 4: Descent: 1% (1)
Episode 6: The Evil Within: 1% (1)
Episode 3: Death Goes On: 0% (0)
Episode 7: Delivery: 0% (0)
Total: 136

Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved episode 10, Angels and Demons, but I really thought the finale was going to blow everything else out of the water. I guess Marcus is that big of a draw that a flashback episode revealing his motives can be powerful - it was for me.

I will admit, though, that I voted for the finale. For me it was a great way to wrap up most of the first season while also leaving us with just enough questions to keep us guessing for the (hopeful) next season. Episodes 9,10, and 12 were all at the top of my list and other than episode 9, it seems that most of you agree.

Only episodes 3 (Death Goes On) and 7 (Delivery) came up empty. I think 3 really hurt because it brought up the notion of the asher groups but then the remaining episodes never came back to it. As such the asher storyline, while great and a personal favorite of mine, never became an integral part of the story. I think episode 7 was one of those stepping stone episodes that had to be made to progress the story, but just doesn’t hold up strongly on its own.

So besides the actual winner of the poll, the results are very much inline with what I thought. Thanks to all who participated and be on the look out Thursday for the next poll. As always feel free to discuss the results of this poll in the comments below.

    1. Nice suprise. Just shows the strength of the ongoing series without the pilot or the finale.

      For me episode 9 was the choice. Turn of the screw had it all. I love the focus of Chase and Alex and the twist that accompanied this episode.

      The episode went full circle and showed the strength of Marcus and Chase partnership and the dynamics of the pureblood death virus.

      Love it!

    2. The calm before the storm.

      I have noticed a few sites have seeemingly *slowed* down.

      A rumor mill has suggested the fate of Blade the TV series 2nd season will unfold by the end of the week.

      A further rumor mill suggested October 5th as the date to mark on your calender.

      Where there is smoke there is sometimes and more often than not fire…. so heres hoping for positive news come the end of this week or mid week following.

      Cheers!

    3. I have read the same thing, Jeff. My birthday is the 3rd, so I am really hoping that Spike is going to give a second season of Blade as a present.

    4. Yeah, I’ve been keeping an eye out for all the rumors and once there’s some hard evidence either way, you can be sure that there’ll be a post here about it.

      As for sites slowing, yeah, it’ll be hard to keep interest up during the off season, but I do have some plans to handle that. Adding the wallpapers section is just one of those plans and as always there’ll be these weekly polls (still need to put up the new one for today).
