Blood Drive Episode 13

Blood Driveends the season in as much suspense as the series itself.

Will it be renewed?

Can it be renewed?

The ultimate soulless executive is Karma, Graces sister, nemesis and reason for living.

She was the innocent corrupted by sensuality who now runs the show, because she fought for it.

She leaves behind a vast expanse of road kill, most are still surprised theyve been run over.

Told hes not half the man he used to be, he screams She cut me in half?

As if its the first hes hearing of it.

Flawless delivery in a show defined by its flaws.

Not so the former LAPD cop and once and future Primo.

Arthur has a magical dick, and won the love of Karmas overshadowing sister.

And still Grace blows herself to kingdom gone in the show.

Arthur is all compassion as the walls move in on the dying half man.

The Primo hasnt lost his humanity.

Aki is no longer a unit, shes a human.

Shes found consciousness and it knocks her out.

They go back a long way, back to days when people still quoted their grandmothers versions of feminism.

Theyve both shared, separately, new lives and loves since they gook on Heart Enterprises.

Aki feels bad for all, well most, of the pain shes caused Christopher.

She hates what she did to him while he was a mere mortal recruit.

Looking at the poor embattled ex-cop in the bandages, we see a willing Frankenstein monster.

All that do-good bullshit hes had to swallow from his ex-partner.

He is a coward in Christophers electric eyes.

He looked up to him, listened to him and now hes going to kill him.

Let him write that down in his little book.

To be or not to be, thats some question.

Slink always knows hes being watched.

He knows all the rules and the best ways to get around them.

There are no rules for getting around death, though, after Aki severs Slinks spine.

But it gives him Shakespearean pause.

All those people I killed, he realizes for the first time.

This is what it felt like.

Blood Driveis renegade TV.

It was created by James Roland, a guy who was bringing coffee to directors before this.

Hes more Slink than Grace.

But the farthest commercial entertainment ever comes to anything kinky is S&M.

Not so onBlood Drive.

Blood and sex are taboo.

ButBlood Drivepushes that boundary too.

Sometimes just for the comic effect.

You know Im right.

You know thats part of what makes this show so enjoyable.

Theres nothing to think about.

Rihanna said it best when she sang Shut up and drive.

Were all unboxed carney freaks in Little Rascal shorts grinning yum yum eat em up when we watchBlood Drive.

It looks like it will be an impossible task to bring back all the players for a second season.

But this reviewer is reminded of a story about the ending of the John Huston filmAcross the Pacific.

Ask Bogie, hell know, he said.

The new director had to pull back the attacking forces.

That wont happen in a series where Slink, Arthur and Grace are the stars.

I only hopeBlood Driveis renewed so we see how they get out of this one.
