Blood Ties ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 16:55:02 -0500 From: Portia <portia1@m.......> Subject: Blood Ties Well, I've heard a rumor that Life Time isn't going to be continuing with this series for another season, and if this is true I am bummed! I'm really enjoying it! I've only seen Christina Cox in bit parts since I first saw her in FK, but I have to say that her performance as Joan D'Arc really impressed me. I think that ep may have been one of the first ones I saw of FK and her acting and the historical and character resonaces (for both her character and Nick) really impacted me. I'm also really enjoying her portrayal of the Vicky Nelson character -- a strong, self-possessed, but not hard-a$$ed woman. I also really enjoy the guy playing Henry; he is also self-possessed and rather arrogant, which rings true from the book character. I like seeing a vampire played as moral and yet not apologetic. This is not a slur on Nick, because those opposite characteristics are why I really love him; it was a very new concept when I first started watching FK -- at least to me -- to see a moral and remorceful vampire who didn't just bemoan his instinctive nature but actually tried to make a difference. The partnership, trust and connection between Vicky and Henry? Let's just say that the N&N side of me is very much enjoying it, while the UFfer in me is really regretting that they didn't include the Tony character from the book.... Can I say again that **Life Time** is an incrediably strange venue for airing this series? I also think it is somewhat regretable, because I think the show would have a larger audience if it wasn't on what my brothers have a tendency (still!) to call the Femi-Nazi channel -- in otherwords, a network predominantely viewed as a "woman's" network.
