Watching Blood Ties

[wiseheart]

To be honest, I was very reluctant to watch the show, because I really, really don't like Christina Cox and the idea of two handsome guys fighting for her love felt completely unrealistic to me. But, well, vampire series, so I thought I'd give it a try, now that Moonlight has run off.

Boy, am I happy that I did! IMO, it's one hundred per cent better than Moonlight. Some of the cases are a bit too bizarre, but Kyle Schmid, the guy who plays 450-year-old vampire Henry Fitzroy (and why must all vamps be of royal blood anyway?) is absolutely charming... unlike Mick St. John who was of the boring, brooding, vanilla sort of bloodsucker.

I like the other guy, too (keep forgetting his name, Mike somethingitalian). And the slightly crazy Goth girl who plays CC's secretary. And seeing Francoise Yip on a semi-recurring role (one one-liner in every other episode or so) is nice, too. Plus, the series has a great deal of slightly warped humour, and Henry Fitzroy seems to enjoy being a vampire, which is a new thing.

Oh, that would be lovely. Do I need any specific program to watch them or will Windows Media Player do?

Windows Media Player will do fine ;) I'll pm you the links!

Got them, thanks. I'm really curious, as I, too, prefer the original voices. If I can hunt down the DVDs when in Vienna, I'll buy them anyway, but a preview will be nice.
