The TV series strength was its story telling and being well written. The introduction of new characters and developing not only the Blade character but the Blade Universe to levels never seen before .

I agree Sticky’s early-season performance wasn’t that good and like the show he improved with every episode making the role his own. I definitely think he was the right man for the show and would love to see him continue the series. Goyer definitely redeemed himself after the poor Blade Trinity .

As for the “Reboot” I’m not sure it’s a good idea. Will they throw out what came before and return to something more like the comics, with spandex? Will Blade still be the quintessential anti-hero badass cutting vampires down with reckless abandon, blood spurting, cool extremely well choreographed martial-arts action? or will it become another sanitised Hollywood comic-book hero?

The question is who’s going to play Blade in this next “reboot” movie? Not Wesley Snipes as they will obviously be looking for someone younger, cheaper and someone who can do the role for the next 10 years or so. While I think Kirk “sticky” Jones was perfect for the TV role whoever this new actor is he needs to be well versed in martial-arts like Wesley Snipes. Obviously that’s far more important than his acting ability because at the end of the day Blade movies were about action not character development. Unless they going to try and develop the character like the TV series?

Whatever happens I hope they hurry up and release the complete Blade the series on DVD !

Actually, I watched every single episode right up to the finale. Still didn’t like it.

And they had 2 very good reasons for canceling it. 1) Is sucked. 2) No one watched it.

But you guys are wrong about the TV series. Of course if you only watched 5 minutes you didn’t like it. It was not for people with short attention spans. The series was great because they could take a different approach from the movies and develop one long story, with the character Krista going undercover in the vampire society. The show was more about how the vampires work and how Blade’s operation works. It was like a cop show. Blade himself was kept in the shadows most of the time. Sticky was no Wesley Snipes but he grew into the role as the series went on. He was even more anti-social than the Wesley version while the villains were pretty sympathetic.

It was a real bummer that those assholes didn’t renew it and just show reruns of fucking Star Trek and Ultimate Fighting all day long. And they still haven’t released it on DVD.
