I only recall it being very well written with good characterisation.
[..] I'd call it more HL/Forever Knight than Sci Fi.
That's good to hear. Based on the first episode and the preview for
the second, it does look like they could turn it into a `supernatural
creature of the week' show. It's too early to tell, but I'd rather
it not become that. It also makes it even harder to believe that
all these odd things are going on but no one else knows about it.

[..] During some investigation she meets Henry FitzRoy, a romance
novelist and vampire and becomes aware of the supernatural world.
I think in the show they said he wrote comic books. I wasn't
paying close attention though so I don't know if they switched
his type of writing for the series, or if he does both in it.
Tony may just become another Richie, not that I didn't love Richie,
there only for getting into trouble he needs to be rescued from,
or maybe they'll eliminate him altogether [..] In fact Tanya Huff
started a new series centered around Tony.
I've seen a few comments from people who have said that Tayna Huff
said Tony won't be in the tv series because of the book series about
his character. I don't know what the source of their info was.
Thanks for mentioning this Heidi, I wouldn't have known about it
otherwise. And for another vampire series coming to tv, Charlaine
Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books are being made into an HBO series.
Given the overlap of HL and FK fans here I thought people might be
interested in the show if they hadn't already heard about it. I've
never heard of CHarris, but don't have HBO anyway. As for Blood
Ties, I guess I'd say it was ok. The first episode was a bit too
predictable and other people seem to be saying the same thing. The
bad guys also seemed more cartoonish then scary, sortof like Slan
in The Gathering. Pilot episodes are sometimes a bit iffy since
they have to set up the premise and characters so I figure I'll
probably give it a few episodes to see what it's like. To everyone
who answered my questions about it, thanks.
