Valentine

I've been watching this series since it started a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed it. It's really good to see Christine Lakin again on a show I have a good time watching. However, last Sunday night was supposed to be a new episode, Summer Nights. What played on the Atlanta CW station though, was a rerun of the second episode. Did anyone else in other markets see the new ep? Does anyone know why a rerun aired on the station I watched if the new episode aired everywhere else?

Well, I hope they continue to give the show time to find its legs before they cancel it. I remember Reaper was in trouble last year, or earlier this year, but was given a chance and now has a season 1 dvd release this week as well as a second season starting up early next year.

Back to Valentine, what I enjoy is the building drama about shadow group planning to move on the Olympians. It could be a group of Titans that are rebelling against them or maybe another pantheon planning to move in. Anyway, we've got Ray (i.e. Haphaestus) sabotaging the Aegis he gave to Ari (i.e. Ares).

As far as Hercules, Grace (Aphrodite) called him Hercules Leonardo Jovesson. Hercules is the Roman name that most people use for the Greek hero Heracles. And he is the son of Jove, the Roman name for Zeus, King of the Greek Olympians. Remember what Grace said? "That Caesar, he had to have a different name for everything".

You've got a good point though, about Leo being involved far more that Grace is in the direct actions of the Valentine company. The only thing I can think of is that Leo and Danny are demi and lesser powers respectively, and Grace, Ray and Ari are intermediate powers. So the lower you are on the power structure, the more direct contact you can have with mortals. Grace has made exceptions, like getting Kate on board and charming the judge in the drunk actress case. Who knows though, it's all just part of someone's plot line. I just hope it manages to stay in production.

Yeah, rerun again here. The episode tomorrow night is supposed to be a rerun of the forth episode about the book store owners. That was the last new episode before we started seeing reruns. Next week if we don't get the new episode, I guess I won't hold out much hope that the show will be remaining for the rest of the season. Here's to Hope.

Re: Valentine

Well, it looks like MRC (Media Rights Capital) has officially cancelled production on Valentine. They did finish 8 episodes, but I don't know if they'll ever air or if we'll be able to get a dvd set at some point. What a disappointment. Hopefully the cast and crew will be able to find good work again soon if they haven't already. I especially hope to see Christine Lakin again with an interesting role.

You know, I think that if the show had been taken over by the CW, and aired right after Reaper when that show begins airing its second season early next year, Valentine would have done alot better.
