Like a few others in here, Blade is one of my favorite series, so I'm excited to see your thoughts on it! I remember the first time I watched it, I had the same reaction as you towards the first episode. I remember thinking to myself "what the hell is going on here" at least five separate times throughout it, and wishing it would just slow down and let me get to know the characters.

That said, that's also exactly the thing about it that hooked me early on. While it felt rushed and overloaded with stuff happening, it was so different a start from any series I'd seen before it. It simultaneously felt like it gave too much information and not enough information, which is...quite a thing to accomplish. The strangeness of it all just immediately piqued my interest.
