Been meaning to comment on both Blood Ties and Dresden Files and Stargate.
First off, I always thought her name was 'Agent Mai' not 'Ancient Mai'! But how awesome was it that she was a dragon?! Squeee! I really enjoyed this episode. And the episode prior with his rat bastard uncle. Dang, Harry's been through a lot! But Bob, I love Bob [sniff] I think this has to be one of my favourite new shows! I can't believe it's already all over for the season.
As for the books, I haven't read any yet, but I'm thinking of trying to get through a few while I'm on vacation. Which brings us to Blood Ties. I'm on the fourth book in the series, and I'm having a hard time sustaining interest. I know the series has a lot of fans on my f'list, but honestly, if I hadn't been loaned all of them, I'm not sure I would have gone on past the second one. I don't read a lot of vampire fiction, and when I do read books in that genre, I'm looking for a more... erotic sort of read, I guess. And the books just don't push any of those sorts of buttons for me. I don't care whether Vicki is with Henry or Mike. and I actually find Mike more attractive than Henry -- what's with that? [g]
At the end of the incubus episode, I really did enjoy the interchange between Henry and the Incubus. Very amusing! But I thought the fighting over Vicki thing between Henry and Mike a little over the top. Actually, it's a little much in most of the episodes I've seen so far.
If you stayed through to the end, congrats!!
Decided to save SG1 for a separate post for spoiler purposes

Date: 2007-04-12 05:25 am (UTC)From:I *want* to like Blood Ties - it's Canadian, it doesn't try to *hide* it - but I've watched 2 episodes so far, and it's not really doing it for me.
I think part of it is that while the actor who plays Henry is good looking and everything, he definitely doesn't match my mental image of Henry. The actor is more true to the correct description - Henry is supposed to look really young - but I've never really visualized Henry as being that young.
Plus, the constant bickering between Mick and Henry is just annoying - I don't recall it being quite that annoying in the books.
I'll keep watching, because, again, I want to support the show and the author - but hopefully it will get better.
