What's really sad is, the WB missed the boat entirely! I mean, look at the plethora of vampire TV series that are now running, not to mention that whole "Twilight" phenomenon (not that I'm a fan, though). Let's hope the Depp film will rev things up again for our beloved show.
I'm sorry to hear about NODS. While I absolutely hated HODS, NODS had a lot of potential, even if you could obviously see it was cut to smithereens in the editing process. Way to ruin what seemed to be a good flick!
