[edit] The genre of the series
While I don’t have a problem with classifiying Blood Ties as Adventure or even Action (although I think the latter is implying more action than there is in the series), I really don’t think it should be filed under Science Fiction. Given that there is no consensus about the definiton of SF as a genre (cf. Definitions of science fiction), in my opinion this series is nonetheless much better described as Dark fantasy or as Fantasy/Horror to use two more general terms. Netpilgrim 02:20, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Since noone seems to object I changed the genre list to "Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Horror" and also changed the corresponding links to more specific articles. Netpilgrim 13:21, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I would also suggest perhaps adding "Dark Romance" and "Supernatural" to the genre, seeing as various episodes bridge topics of all the genre topics suggested.Tigerpoet 10:03, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Location
Though the series is supposedly supposed to take place in Toronto, it is in fact filmed in Vancouver. I know this for a fact as my agent books work for local actors onto the show, and we are based in Vancouver. More specifically the police office is located in Maple Ridge on the same sets that are used for Painkiller Jane, the TV series, simply redressed. --Venixer 06:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- And while it's set in Toronto, they use American lingo like "DMV" when refering to the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.156.98.126 (talk) 23:48, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Starsparkle007 22:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Blood ties is great
i have only just started watching this show and i am finding that i am caught up in it already and find it to be a very exciting and intresting show. you dont know where it is going to go and it has a great plot line. the actors are great and they really bring the charcters to life it is quite a dark and intense show but that is one of the things i like about it. i have to admit the actor that plays Henry is very easy on the eye as well. i really do hope that this gets picked up for a second show and even goes on to a 3rd. im definetly a fan of the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starsparkle007 (talk • contribs) 22:01, August 26, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Moonlight (TV series) Blood Ties (TV series)
Whereas I've seen both, I'm convinced that they are virtually the same, & should be linked.

[edit] Re: "We Are Not Dead Yet" Removal
Removed because as written it doesn't remotely belong in the article. 68.148.120.7 (talk) 23:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WGA Strike
according to Effect of the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike on television, this show uses American writers, and as such is on strike, is that right? 70.55.85.35 (talk) 04:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Not according to e! online: "I don't think the strike is going to hurt us, because Canadian writers are not hindered by the U.S. guild rules." I'd rather something more definitive, though. Bilby (talk) 04:52, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
