Poll Results: Cat and Mouse

With 122 total votes, the latest extended poll proved to bring out another good showing - as lobsided as that showing may have been.

What Was Your Favorite Surprise?
That Marcus Knew About Krista and Blade: 62% (76)
Chase’s Betrayal of Marcus: 12% (15)
Charlotte’s Death: 7% (8)
Marcus’ Past: 6% (7)
Marcus’ Real Plan: 5% (6)
Krista Turning Her Mom: 5% (6)
Chase’s Fake Betrayal With Alex: 2% (2)
Collins’ Death: 1% (1)
Truth Behind Vanessa’s Pregnancy: 1% (1)
Total Votes : 122

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.

    1. Hi Squirrel,

      I agree alot with what you wrote. Marcus’ past was definitely up there for me, but in the end I had to go with him knowing about Krista and Blade. My best friend had to help me pick my jaw up off of the floor at the end of Conclave!

    2. Good day,

      Indeed there were many suprises from a well written TV series. I found Marcus knowing about Krista a little anticlimatic but it was most excellent to watch.

      Marcus past was very intriguing and it was definately interesting to see his star rise because of the human element and the fact that he was / is a villian.

      For me again though I really was caught off guard by the Alex betrayal - I thought for sure Chase honestly had some lust for Alex and totally wanted to betray Marcus then. It was really cool how it all fit into the master plan of Marcus and the requirement for the pureblood test.

      Sigh…. I want Blade back ;) .

      Take care!!
