New Poll: What Was Your Favorite Surprise?

With the holiday season upon us, I’ve decided to let this poll run for two weeks. This means that I’ll be closing it and posting the results some time on Tuesday, January 2nd. With the extended time, I’ve made the poll a that asks a very interesting question with quite a few answers to keep you thinking.

What Was your Favorite Surprise?

  • Charlotte’s Death
  • Collins’ Death
  • Marcus’ Real Plan
  • Chase’s Betrayal of Marcus
  • Marcus’ Past
  • Krista Turning Her Mom
  • Chase’s Fake Betrayal With Alex
  • Truth Behind Vanessa’s Pregnancy
  • That Marcus Knew About Krista and Blade

As you can see, there’s many different surprises to choose from. I’m not asking what you thought was the biggest surprise, but rather, which one was your favorite (which very well could be the same thing for you). Even though I’ve added quite a few options, there’s sure to be at least one or two surprises that I missed, but hopefully you see a clear favorite out of the choices provided.

*update: I previously screwed up and put Charlotte’s name in a couple choices rather than Chases - I’ve fixed this.

Poll Results: The Real Blade

It was a big issue for many during the first season of Blade: The Series, could Kirk “Sticky” Jones make it as Blade? In a previous poll, it turned out that nearly 90% of you thought he did either “okay” or “excellent”. That poll didn’t answer whether or not you all felt he did a better job than the original Blade, Wesley Snipes, so this latest poll asked, and 77 of your answered.

Who Was the Better Blade?
Wesley Snipes: 69% (53)
Kirk “Sticky” Jones: 31% (24)
Total Votes : 77

I don’t think it’s a big shock that Snipes ended up with the most votes. I personally was a big surpised that he only won by 69%. Granted, this site is a fansite dedicated to the television show, so obviously the results are likely to be skewed in its favor, but to me, Snipes was really in a whole other league.

Don’t get me wrong, I thought Jones did a great job, but his martial arts and acting abilities couldn’t even compare to Snipes in my opinion. Now, it’s not entirely fair to compare them since the TV Blade was considerably “gimped” such that he wasn’t nearly as much a focus in the show as he was in the movies. Similarly, he wasn’t nearly as badass, with the ability to take on incredibly amounts of vampires with ease.

However, even while considering that handicap, I still think Snipes was just leaps and bounds beyond Jones.

New Poll: Who Was the Better Blade?

Fan Darcy wrote in saying that I should put up a poll asking which actor was the better Blade, Kirk “Sticky Fingaz” Jones or Wesley Snipes. When I first read the email I was all ready to reply back saying that I had already done that poll, but stupid me, I hadn’t! I was actually thinking of this poll that asked how good Jones was as Blade. It wasn’t a direct comparisson to Snipes.

So, with that being said, I’ve put up the poll asking you to decide who you think is/was the better Blade. Thanks to Darcy for writing in. I still can’t believe I hadn’t put this poll up yet!

Poll Results: 1 2 3. In That Order

That latest poll has come to a close and with 65 total votes, it’s clear that there’s still quite a few fans out there hoping for some good news. Anyway, on to the results…

Favorite Blade Movie
Blade 1: 46% (30)
Blade 2: 34% (22)
Blade 3: Trinity: 20% (13)
Total Votes : 65

I don’t think it’s too big of a shock that the results ended up with the first movie taking the most votes, followed by the second movie, with the third movie trailing them both. I do think it’s a bit of a surprise that the third movie got as many votes as it did. While I enjoyed Blade: Trinity quite a bit, I think it was mostly ignored and/or disliked by the majority of people out there. It’s definitely nice to see that a good percentage did, in fact, enjoy it.

As for my vote, I gave it to the first movie. Like I said in the original poll post, I had just finished rewatching the Blade Trilogy a couple weeks ago, which is why I wanted to do this poll. While I definitely liked all three movies, I do think I enjoyed the first the most. I’d rank them just how the voters ranked them, with the first movie being the best, then the second, then the third. I just think that the openning scene in the first movie, along with the main plot, combined with my opinion that Frost was the best villain are all major points that make the first movie the best in my mind. I liked the idea of having some vampires help Blade out in the second (as well as the female vampire love interest) and I liked how they brought in the Nightstalkers in the third movie, but overall, the first was just a little bit better.

Wesley Snipes Arrested

The Blade movie star Wesley Snipes was arrested Friday for tax fraud. There has been a warrant for his arrest for awhile now, but he was in Namibia filming a new movie.

The details of his crime are that he has failed to pay nearly $12 million in taxes.

New Poll: Favorite Blade Movie

I just finished watching the trilogy of Blade movies last weekend so I figured I really should put up a poll to see which movie is everybody’s favorite.

The poll will end next Tuesday so be sure to cast your vote by then.

Poll Results: Charlotte Reborn

With 68 people participating in the latest poll, it appears that Charlotte is the character most would like to see alive and kicking (or biting).

Which Character Do You Wish Was Still Alive?
Charlotte: 50% (34)
Collins: 18% (12)
Fritz: 6% (4)
Reverend Carlyle: 6% (4)
Glynnis: 6% (4)
Steppin’ Razor: 4% (3)
Alex: 4% (3)
Thorne: 3% (2)
Damek: 3% (2)
Total Votes : 68

I was expecting Charlotte to receive the most votes, but 50% is much higher than I thought. Collins also brought in quite a few votes, but considering that those two were probably the two with the most air time, it’s really no surprise.

I actually voted for Damek. While I definitely liked many other dead characters more, I felt that with him somehow still alive it would bring in that beast in Marcus that brought the downfall of Chthon. Damek wasn’t really explored much and it’d be interesting to see how he was the only surviving pureblood for the House of Armaya.

I think another reason why I didn’t vote for Charlotte or Collins (even though I loved both characters) is that both were fairly unexpected deaths and those surprises were very cool. Both characters were building in importance and gaining screen time - then BAM! Dead. I think both deaths topped off the incredible season quite nicely.

Thanks to everybody that voted!

David Goyer Talks About the Show

I’m a bit late in posting this, but apparently writer David Goyer posted about the Blade series on his MySpace blog a few days ago. In it he talks about how the show got picked up, reasons for choosing Kirk ‘Sticky Fingaz’ Jones as Blade, as well as a bit on the cancellation of the series.
