: WB is posting "Blood Lust" on the 8th, after "Salvation". Who was it that said that the US should spin out of repeats, early April? Where did they get this information? : Grea. "Salvation" is certainly one worth watching, but only for the sub-plot of Veronica being chased through the jungle by the Christec warriors. As I've mentioned before, she manages to bump off her pursuers one at a time until she's finally cornered over a tree log. She manages to toss one warrior into the river where he's eaten by a crocodile, but the other catches her and takes her back to the village. This storyline is pure action with a taste of cheesecake at the end, just the way I like it. I wish future episodes would do this more often. The "main" storyline has Challenger trying to change the Christec society, which didn't really play well for a 30 minute storyline. "Bloodlust" is the TLW Halloween special, with Roxton being turned into a vampire. The guest actress is certainly pretty enough, and there's a bit of cheesecake back at the castle when she tries to seduce Roxton, but its brief so don't blink. This episode is worth watching for a couple of reasons: (a) probably the worst piece of acting/writing/directing ever on TLW is when Will Snow is romping through the jungle looking for blood prey (well, except for maybe the witchdoctor in "Nectar", which would be a close second) and (b) Marge rescues Roxton from the clutches of the vampire queen, contributing to their ongoing romance threading through the future episodes, so those following that relationship will want to catch this installment. And remember, don't get hung up on improbabilities, just go with the flow and.... Enjoy!
