Blood Ties Marathon

(http://www.invelos.com/mpimages/80/801213511099f.jpg)
After witnessing a horrific demonic murder at the side of a Toronto roadway, private investigator Vicki Nelson finds herself on a collision course with another citizen investigating the case. He is Henry Fitzroy – former Duke of Richmond, cutting-edge graphic novelist and 470-year-old vampire. To solve the brutal murder, Vicki finds herself collaborating, against her better judgment, with the suave and seductive Fitzroy. The relationship soon progresses beyond a purely professional arrangement, complicating her long-term love affair with ex-partner Detective Mike Celluci.....and pretty well everything else in her life.

Vicki Nelson, Henry Fitzroy & Mike Celluci are back on the case, investigating a new series of mysterious & gruesome crimes throughout Toronto. As the cases become more bizarre & complex, the relationship between Vicki & Mike becomes fractured. Meanwhile, Henry's behavior creates suspicion for all involved in the cases, casting doubt among the three. In the final episodes of the series, the action & the conflicts reach an intense peak!

Vicki finds that her most dangerous mission might be to sort out her romantic feelings for her ex-partner on the force, Mike Celluci, and for her new partner, the dashing vampire, Henry Fitzroy.


My Thoughts:
This is a show I bought blind this past month for my horror marathon. This is the first chance I got to watch any of it. I enjoyed the 2 part pilot... I am just trying to decide how much. It definitely could be better... but at the same time it is a pretty good introduction to the characters. I have a feeling it will grow on me more as I watch the episodes.

My Thoughts:
Funny thing... This morning I watched the movie I Walked with a Zombie. Then this afternoon I decided to watch the next episode of Blood Ties... and what is it about... voodoo zombies. And I must admit... I liked how they done it in this show. And I am really starting to like the star of this show... Christina Cox. Her character in this show is a bit of a smart ass... which is always fun to watch.

My Thoughts:
This is the last episode on disc 1. Sure I have seen the child with mental powers storyline before... but I really enjoyed this episode. I had wondered if Vicki's ex partner Mike would find out what Henry is. And that question was answered in this episode. But didn't go into very much detail on it. As it happened right at the end of the episode. Making it so I can't wait to see the next episode!

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this episode quite a bit... the ghost of a convicted murderer coming back to murder the people that were responsible for putting him away.  They did it with an interesting storyline... and the effects of the ghost were pretty cool as well.

6. Love Hurts
Vicki is visited by Gary Howsen, a man who thinks his wife Marcy is cheating on him and wants to hire Vicki to find out for sure. But when Marcy is killed by her as-yet-unidentified lover, Gary is the prime suspect and he wants Vicki to prove his innocence.

Guest Stars:

Francoise Yip

My Thoughts:
Another very good episode. I enjoyed seeing the sexual side of Vicki come out a little more in this episode. She suppresses that side of herself so much... but in this episode she was unable to do so. I thought it was hilarious when she thought it was Henry (the vampire) that showed up in her bed in the middle of the night. There is so much sexual tension between those two... I wonder how it will be before those to get together. Or if it will even happen what with the series being so short.

Only six episodes into this series... which I never seen a single episode before getting the DVDs... and I am really starting to get hooked on the show. Makes me glad I went ahead and got the second season set. I still don't understand why here in the US they took a single season show... and separated it into two seasons. They didn't even separate them evenly. Season 1 has 13 episodes and season 2 has 9 episodes. If they wanted it in 2 separate releases they should have broken it up evenly with 11 episodes each.

Season 1 has 13 episodes and season 2 has 9 episodes. If they wanted it in 2 separate releases they should have broken it up evenly with 11 episodes each.

Usually if a network orders a TV series, where it isn't sure if they want a full season, they commission a half-season with 13 episodes first, with an option of additional 9 episodes (to get 22 episodes). Often the 13th episode has a showdown, climax or something like it, so if the additional 9 aren't ordered, the season ends on a high note. I don't remember if it was the case here with the 13th episode, but it would explain that they would want to end a season here.

Now I could be wrong... but from what I understand... this series isn't a US series (Canadian... I think) And it originally aired as 1 season. But apparently when released in the US they decided to divide the series into 2 separate seasons on their own. And chose for some reason to divide it as 13 in season 1 and 9 in season 2. Which none of it makes any sense. Since it was already originally 1 season... why did the US decide to divide it? And why divide it in such a weird way? That is what I was trying to say.
Title: Re: Blood Ties Marathon
Post by: Tom on January 24, 2011, 07:23:57 PM
According to Wikipedia, they aired the two seasons in the US divided as 12 to 10 episodes. Not 13 to 9. Which looks a little more even.

7. Heart of Ice
Vicki goes to bat for a group of homeless people when they claim that several of their friends has gone missing. She knows that the police aren't likely to put their case at the top of their priority list and, with a reluctant Henry, takes to the sewers and homeless squats. But what they find is anything but human. The homeless killer is a Windigo, the horrible cannibal spirit of Native legend.

Guest Stars:
Julian Sands
Keith Dallas
Francoise Yip
Eileen Pedde
Leslie Ewen

My Thoughts:
This episode started out a little slow for my taste... but it picked up quite nicely. Ending with a very good cliffhanger. I didn't realize this was a two part episode when I first started. But it makes sense seeing the name of this one and the name of the next one (Heart of Fire).

Well Not saying wikipedia is right or wrong (I know errors definitely occur on that site)... as I didn't see this series when it originally aired (series is new to me). But I can tell you how the seasons are divided on the DVDs. Which is indeed 13 and 9. Not sure why they would change it from how it originally aired in Canada AND how it originally aired in the US... that would make even less sense then it already did.  :P

A nice continuation to the last episode. I enjoyed seeing Julian Sands guest starring in the last couple episodes. I always liked him in the Warlock movies.

9. Stone Cold
Terri Fulton, a modeling agent, comes into Vicki's office needing help finding one of her clients, Brendon Ledford. He was a young, good-looking kid who liked to party, but he was also pretty responsible, which is what's concerning Terri. That and the fact that she lent him six grand before he went missing. In the course of their conversation, Vicki finds out it was Mike who sent Terri to her office. Some men send flowers when they are sorry, some send missing person cases.

Guest Stars:
Lisa Ray
Michael Adamthwaite
Greyston Holt
Linzee Harris
Desiree Zurowski

My Thoughts:
Once again I really enjoyed the episode. In this one Vicki, Henry and Mike face off against a creature from Greek mythology. One that is seen in the movie Clash of the Titans... if you take the title of this episode into account I think you will know who I am talking about. I think the creature was done pretty cool what with it being a Television episode.

I didn't know him before, but this guy seems to be following me around this week. First I saw him watching a season nine episode of Smallville yesterday where he played a younger Jor-El (clone). Then I saw him in the last three episodes of Ghost Whisperer's season 2. And now I see you mention him. Of course I had seen him also in Blood Ties in the past but I didn't take particular notice of him then.

11. Post Partum
Vicki's visit by Mitch Lafoy, a man whose wife Marlisse, checked into a fertility clinic a month ago. Mitch explains that Marlisse has been acting a little weird lately and every time he tries to call or visit, she refuses to talk to him due to his "negative aura". He believes the clinic is a cult being lead by the fertility specialist, Dr. Hobman, and needs Vicki to investigate.

My Thoughts:
This one is definitely better. A good idea for a story... and well followed through. I like how it has a mixture of a demon and evil kids. The one kid it focused on did a fine job of playing the part as needed.

12. Norman
Camille Stokes, a woman who claims to be psychic, comes to Vicki's office warning of great danger.

They're trying to start a new pentagram with a fresh set of corpses and, to make matters worse, they're hunting Vicki.

Nimet Kanji

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... I did enjoy it. Though I think I would have enjoyed it a bit more if I could remember the episode where they first went up against Norman. It must have been when I first started this thread long ago. And I just don't remember that episode at all. That or the episodes in this set aren't in order.

13. D.O.A.
Vicki arrives at her office to find her old cop friend Paul Deeds waiting for her. he's working undercover, infiltrating a bike gang, and needs Vicki's help in solving a homicide. When Vicki asks who died, Paul replies "I did" as he walks straight through the wall into her office. Paul doesn't remember anything about his death and wants to find his body as well as know why he's a ghost.

Guest Stars:
Nimet Kanji
Steve Bacic
Eileen Pedde
Woody Jeffreys
Kira Clavell

My Thoughts:
This is the last episode in the season 1 DVD set. I enjoyed it very much. It has a good storyline with the ghost of a dead friend asking Vicki to help solve his murder... with an added  twist of a demon taking over his body and walking around so Vicki has little help on the case as most people believes he is still alive. The episode definitely kept my interest from beginning to the end.

My Thoughts:
This one is my least favorite episode so far. I started up a bit slow and the storyline just wasn't that interesting. Then in the middle of the episode I started to get into it some... but unfortunately towards the end of the episode I lost interest once again. It is a shame... it was a good idea for a story... but they just couldn't follow through on it.

My Thoughts:
After I was expecting that this is where the series went downhill and the reason the series didn't last very long. But after watching this episode I have to rethink that... as I loved this one! Sure they whole groundhog day thing has been done many times over... several series has done a version of it. But I really liked how this one was done. For a TV episode the day restarted more times then I was expecting it to... which definitely added to the enjoyment. I must say that at least to this point... this is my favorite episode of the series.

16. Bugged
Vicki and Coreen investigate a murder outside the Goth club "The Underground". The body was seemingly chewed up and eaten by insects, and the girls begin to realize that they also might be dealing with a different kind of demon that may be feasting off regulars at the club.

Guest Stars:
Nimet Kanji
Patrick Currie
James Pizzinato
Jody Thompson
Krista McPhail

My Thoughts:
Right good episode. While the storyline with the bugs was ok... what brought this episode up in rating was the side storyline of Henry and Mike working together on the arrival of a new vampire in town. One that is looking to take over Henry's territory... and one that wouldn't think twice about killing. This feels like a storyline that will continue... perhaps through-out the rest of the series?

Mike is investigating a new rash of murders. Vicki and Mike are convinced Christina is responsible for the murders, but Henry knows it isn't her work. Whatever the case may be, they know with vampire territoriality the way it is, having Christina around makes Henry unpredictable and that's bad news. And they find out how bad, when Henry comes home to find Christina on his bed waiting for him.

Nimet Kanji
Laura Mennell

My Thoughts:
Good conclusion to the whole vampire territory storyline. Though I do think it could have dragged on for another episode or two... I did like how they handled it. Makes me wonder though... if this is the last we will see of Christina. With only 5 episodes left in the series we probably won't though.

Nice to see that we have the same thoughts on this episode. This episode was surprisingly well done, considering that the basic premise isn't really original.

Was it this series or was it True Blood, where the reason that the vampires do not act during the day was, that they become dead corpses (instead of undead) during the day? I liked that.
Title: Re: Blood Ties Marathon
Post by: addicted2dvd on January 26, 2011, 08:10:42 PM
Not sure it is either. I know in this one that... forget the character's name... but the guy Julian Sands played... had a female vampire bound and when the sunlight hit her she went up in flames and disintegrated. And it has been a while... but I don't remember that happening in True Blood. Though I could be wrong as I haven't watched that show in a while.

Sounds like an interesting idea though. I think the Vampire myth is played with more in the movies then any other. But I think that is cool... it keeps things interesting and makes it so vampire movies don't get old as fast.

19. Wrapped
Henry awakes from a dream in which he comes face to face with Pachacamac, an Incan priest, who warns of Henry's death. The sun comes up and Henry is burned. However, the most disturbing aspect is not the content of the dream, but the fact that he was dreaming in the first place. As he explains to Vicki, vampires don't dream, but they can sense when it is their time to die and he fears that this may be his.

I am a bit on the fence on what rating to give this one. The main story was good... but I have seen several better. But at the same time... the way this one ended really caught my attention and makes me wonder what is up to come for the final few episodes.

When Henry convinces Vicki that Lee is for real, she manages to track down Lee's soul mate, Helen, with unusual results.

My Thoughts:
This one is ok... but  I didn't care too much for the storyline. I was wondering if this show end in a way that had closure for the entire series. Going by this episode I believe it did. Though I am a little surprised by the direction it is taking.

As the possessed Coreen goes on a rampage throughout the city, Vicki, Henry and Mike chase after her. They begin to realize that the only way to deal with Astaroth is to exorcise himand Father Cascioli, a priest with a history in exorcism, is brought in.

My Thoughts:
I loved this final episode... but I hate the way it ended. They obviously thought there would be another season. So there is plenty that is left open. But the storyline for this one is excellent. It kept me interested from start to finish.
