Blade is the series that everyone but me seems to think is fantastic. I went half the show the first time and realised that I had no idea what was going on, couldn't remember anything that had happened and didn't care for the characters. It got better as it went, but I my impression from the first watching was a bored "meh."

And then I found out that the fandom loved this show and i could never figure out why. I also could never figure out why it didn't work for me. I think, Die, that you've finally managed to articulate some of the problems for me. Others, I'm still not sure about.

On my second watch I liked it better and found plenty of interesting plotlines and such even in the earliest part of the show. I only had the vaguest impressions of them from the first watch though. I still have no clue why. Maybe I was having a bad week that time. All I know is I like it a fair bit better now.

but the pilot. Yeah, I still am not a fan of the pilot.
