Blade: The Series: Conclave starts as Blade's (Sticky Fingaz) hideout is attacked by Marcus's (Neil Jackson) men lead by Chase (Jessica Gower), in a huge explosion Shen (Nelson Lee) is captured & taken to Marcus while Blade is left for dead. Obviously Blade survived & going on the information he has decides to gatecrash the Vampire party at the Conclave in Toronto where several top ranking Vampires are supposed to meet, Marcus, Chase & Krista (Jill Wagner) are planning to assassinate the pureblood Vampires with a gas which doesn't affect turnblood's so he can gain control for himself. Shen escapes & together with Blade they enter the Conclave for a showdown with Marcus...This was episode 12 from season 1 of the made-for-TV Blade: The Series, directed by Alex Chapple this is probably the best episode I've seen from this series. The script by David S. Goyer, Geoff Johns & Daniel Truly ends the first series with a bang as this one is pretty much wall-to-wall action with fights, torture & double crosses although you will have to have seen at least a few other episodes for them to make much sense & have any real meaning. This one moves along at a nice pace, the twists & turns make it one of the more interesting episodes to watch & there are some decent moments in this.As usual this looks good & is well made, the fights seem a lot better in this one & the action scenes just seem bigger. The fights between Krista & Chase (who is one hot chick) & Blade & Marcus at the end are pretty cool. There is also some gore here as someone has their fingernails sliced out with a scalpel & a few Vampires melt into goo.Conclave is a decent enough watch & one of the better Blade: The Series episodes that I have seen, the very sudden ending definitely leaves things open for a season 2...
