I'm not necessarily a "go with the flow" type of guy who watches something (*cough* True Blood & Twilight *cough*) just because the "pack" says it's "cool."
Neither am I.

I would never watch any show for that reason. Nor should you. The only reason you should watch True Blood is because it's fantastically entertaining. Don't shy away from it just because you don't want to be part of the "in" crowd. That's what depressed teenagers do. :)

I'm still not paying to have HBO just to watch a TV show. :P

Well, that's one way, LoL. You could also watch it online. Naturally, the first episode would be a good introduction to the series.

I think The Gates pilot was pretty good, considering it's a summer show. I really liked it, actually. Obviously far from the best show I've ever seen, but it was decent. Loved the vampires/witches/werewolves - lots going on for one community, LoL.

The high school stuff needs work, and I noticed they were careful not to have a teenage boy vampire...there's still a wolf, though.

Anyway, Rhona Mitra was great, as I expected.

I didn't like it, I thought it was cheesy as hell! I watched for like 30 minutes and tuned out. I didn't understand the pilot. I may give it one more shot Sunday and if it doesn't peak my attention, the only vamps and wolves I'll be watching on Sunday is the vamps from True Blood.

I enjoyed tonight's episode. For Mitra's sake, I hope it succeeds. It feels like she's on every show that fails.Yet, she's a good actress, she's very photogenic, and especially on this show, she's just perfectly cast. I mean, she TOTALLY looks like a vampire, especially with that dark hair! I think I will watch next week. It's a fun little show loads of potential.

Yeah, tonight was OK...but they do have one problem: there's too many characters, and further, there's too many characters that are "supernatural" beings. We're on the 3rd episode - they can cool it a bit!

I like it, but I do agree about the amount of supernatural characters. I hope that trend doesn't continue, they have enough.

I need a scorecard. That's the one frustrating thing with the show, that and how they aren't revealed, but thankfully that's happening next episode.

I think that's changing next week, like you mentioned ^.

But anyway, if the show only has 13 episodes, it wouldn't hurt to quicken the pace. Honestly, I'm surprised Rookie Blue is doing better than this - seems like such a lame show.

Well, with each passing weekend I seem to can't get enough of this show.

The same here. I *really* like this show. I'm really curious to see what Devon's up to

Me too Matt. While the set up was a little jarring at first, I'm liking the Vampires vs. Werewolves vs. the Witch(Which I assume Devon might be).

I really hope they do another season too. The ending was a really good cliffhanger!
