The clear fan favorite seems to have been the fact that Marcus knew about Krista and Blade. The fact that that's how the season (and perhaps the series) ended was likely a big factor in it's popularity. I think people also are intrigued by the mystery behind the fact that we don't know exactly what Marcus knows and how long he has known it. Leaving the season with that cliffhanger was both frustrating and downright awesome.
There's so many great surprises in that were in the poll as well as a few that I'm sure I forgot, so I won't go into my thoughts on all of them. I will say that I voted for Marcus' past as my favorite surprise. We knew there was obviously some hidden motivation behind all of Marcus' plans, but it wasn't until his flashback episode that we saw just how brutal his past was. I loved how lead the viewer to have some sympathy and even pity for Marcus, even though he's a vicious killer. The fact that his motivations seem to all stem from lost love makes his actions romantic, tragic, and scary all at the same time.
Thanks to all that participated in the poll and as always be sure to check out the new poll this Thursday.
