| WARNING! THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS! READ NO FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED! | Quote: | | I dont think she'll do a maddie spin off....ever....it'll be a waste of time and money |
For real!
| Quote: | Good god. If there was a spin off about Maddie... That would be the shortest, most terrible series ever. lol "Today I went shopping. I couldn't find anything that fit my fat ass. I think I'll go write a feminist article about how evil the fashion industry is. The end."
|
BWAHAHAHA!!!! That's a good one! Maddie wouldn't need a series, just a Twitter post.
| Quote: | However, if it was a spin off on....say, the vampires? Hellz yeah I'm game.
|
TOTALLY!!! I love those guys! I'd love to know what it's like at their apartment/house. And I'd love to see how the 'lessons' go between Peter and Cody. Peter is Cody's mentor after all. But I wouldn't say no to a book or two about Hugh. I can only imagine a book about Hugh would be filled with sex. LOL!
| Quote: | | Maybe this time it could be from a male perspective though. RM writes the most awesomest guys. lol |
I agree. I think that would be neat. Not that I have a problem with female protagonists or written from a woman's POV. But a good number of the books I have read lately are like that, and I'd like a bit of a change...sort of like eating only chocolate ice cream, sometimes you want a different flavour.
| Quote: | | are all demons yes but they all have good hearts and do their best to walk a straight path, as much as possible. |
Well....yes and no. I mean, you look at Hugh, and at the risk of this being a spoiler (Sorry to anyone not read this yet!) when he signed up Georgina for the auction. He didn't do it for the sake of raising money for children. He did it to get into the organizer's panties. Is Hugh purely evil? No. If he were, he wouldn't have helped to heal Georgina after she was attacked by Nanette. The vampires? I really don't know. Other than throwing them in for comedy relief, she hasn't done much with them. We don't really know what their 'mission' or 'job' is. For instance, as an imp, Hugh has to try to get people to sell their souls. Georgie has to corrupt them with sex and to take their life-force. But what do Peter and Cody do other than feed?
| Quote: | What I meant by that is well we all know Georgina is going to do her best to stay out of the way from Seth and Maddie. She is going to help Maddie plan out the wedding. I think Georgina's intentions will be good and by removing herself from temptations she can go help Erik run his store and take care of him. Not permanently. She is going to try and do the right thing by Seth and Maddie.Just because that's the kind of person she is. She has to make up for her giult as well.
|
I still don't think the wedding will happen. I really don't. (Actually it's more like hoping against hope that it doesn't). I know Georgie wouldn't intentionally hurt Maddie, but in a way I wish she would. I'm thinking that Georgie wouldn't even have to do anything to interfere. I think Seth will screw up their future wedding...or Maddie will discover the affair on her own. IMO, that's way more hurtful. I think Maddie is weak and she will run when she discovers the photos or other evidence of the relationship with GK.
| Quote: | | About firing Maddie I was just saying if I were put in that position I probably would. Or I'd at least delegate the crappiest jobs to her and make work miserable for her. I know Georgina's character wouldn't do that, that is just something I would do. lol. |
You're on the right track by making Maddie's life hell at work. THAT is the best way to get rid of her. But then again, she'd only go whining to Seth. I'm with you...I'd do that to her for sure. Make her go clean the toilets, or muck out behind the coffee counter. LOL!
| Quote: | What I meant was Roman still wants to kill Georgina but he made a deal with Jerome so now he can't. He traded that amongst other things for amnesty. He is still mad at Georgina, and knows about her and Seth/s affair while she was in stasis. Roman could be the one that outs their sexcapades to Maddie, just to get back at Georgina. It would cause strife in her life and she would lose Maddie as a friend.
|
Right..OK. Now you talk about Roman outing Seth and Georgina as if it's a bad thing! LOL! I think in a way it would be a great thing! It would ruin Maddie and Seth! HOORAY! And losing Maddie as a friend? Pfft...no big loss there!
| Quote: | | Yeah when Georgina was investigating who could have summoned Jerome a guy was trying to rape her and Roman set the gas stove on fire, to protect her. Nothing serious would have happened like she obviously wouldn't have been killed, just taken advantage of. Roman could have just stood by and let that happen but instead, he got her out of the situation. That's why a part of me still think he does care for her in his own twisted way. Yeah I agree I don't know why she let him move in with her, she could have put her foot down in the beginning. She kept saying she didn't want to bother Jerome at the time. What ever I would have just kicked Roman's freeloading ass out to the curb. |
Yes...I remember now. OK. And yeah, I don't see that living arrangement lasting._________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |

Oh well yeah they are still servents of hell and there for have to Carry out their jobs, they made their own contracts. I was just talking about how Georgina only wants to drain life from assholes and doesn't like using innocent men. (usually). Hugh has his obligations but still sympathizes with the others, and their decisions. I know in one of the books it said that unlike other vampires Peter and Cody don't kill people when they feed. Carter knows and understands that they all still have their hellish duties to carry out, but I think Carter also realizes that this group of tries to be good as much as they possibly can. I was basically saying how Georgie and her friends are more unconventional.
I also agree that Carter and Jerome must have been good friends before Jerome fell._________________ "I knew it! I can't even imagine that-I'd be freaking out all the time around him.

| So last nigh laying in bed for some reason I was thinking about one of my fav. movies "10 things I hate about you" and a certain song kept playing through my head and all I could think about was the Succubus books. If ever there were a theme song for these books. I stil have the song stuck in my head. *even angels fall* you've found hope you've found faith found how fast she could take it away found true love lost your heart now you dont know who you are she made it easy, made it free made you hurt till you couldn't see sometimes it stops sometimes it flows but baby, that is how love goes CHORUS you will fly and you will crawl god knows even angels fall no such thing as you "lost it all" god knows even angels fall its a secret that no one tells one day its heaven one day its hell its no fairy tale, take it from me thats the way its supposed to be CHORUS you'll laugh you'll cry, no one knows why but, oh the thrill of it all your on the ride, you might as well open your eyes... CHORUS even angles fall...even angels fall... _________________ "I knew it! I can't even imagine that-I'd be freaking out all the time around him.

| Okay I found a link to the song above. Now I have an urge to dig out the old vhs movie and watch it. That's my plan for the day. Heath was so cute in that movie.('  ') http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeIy9vk7amE&feature=related_________________ "I knew it! I can't even imagine that-I'd be freaking out all the time around him.

I know that WAS the case with Georgina in the first book...but then I think Jerome made her go after the good men because it was sorta like NOT doing her job properly.

Argh! I will re-read these books. But I will do it closer to when Succubus Shadows comes out._________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |

| I should think we're getting it at the same time as the US. Blood Promise will be at the Chapters on 25 August, same as you guys.  Succubus Shadows isn't listed there yet. Not even for a pre-order. But then, that book's due out in April 2010, right? _________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |

| It's too long of a wait, whatever the date may be! LOL! To keep this discussion going... Would you want this series made into a film? I know I wouldn't. I like the pictures I create in my head...and movies tend to cut so much from the books. That was one reason while I loved the eye-candy of Twilight, I was disappointed that so much was cut from the book, and stuff that was in the movie seemed a bit of a misinterpretation...and then there was stuff added in that wasn't in the story at all. I would hate to see that happen to the GK/Succubus series. That and I don't think they could ever find anyone as sassy as Georgina to portray her accurately in a movie. _________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |

| Well, I definitely wouldn't want the succubus series made into a movie. But I wouldn't mind if it was made into a mini tv series!! Each season would be only a couple episodes long, that way they can fit each book into a season and wouldn't have to cut anything. And I know that Showtime and HBO do mature content all the time (Dexter, True Blood). I also don't think a succubus mini series would have any trouble with getting an audience either. But Fox tv bought the rights for Succubus Blues so who knows what'll happen with it. _________________ Some people read books for fun. - Dimitri Belikov |

It really is too bad that FOX bought the rights. Because even though I feel uneasy about seeing such a wonderful series of books interpreted on film (of any kind), a 'higher quality' network like Showtime or HBO could probably do it justice. I know I just LOVE Dexter!! That is a great program with high quality everything.
| Quote: | | if Fox makes it into a mini series , it's going to suck! cuz they will cut all the kinky stuff from the book , which it'll be a big chunk |
I find that a *little* bit difficult to believe. Out of all the mainstream stations, FOX has a reputation for being the raciest. I remember years ago that they had controversy over the kinds of programs and especially WHEN the shows were being aired. I may be dating myself here but "Married...With Children" was one of those shows. It wasn't exactly graphic, except for a couple of episodes where you see a half-naked woman from the back. The humour could only be branded as 'toilet humour'...the jokes were sexually or bodily function based. To say the show was vulgar is an understatement!
But while FOX may have to tone down the graphic content, they certainly would NOT tone down the, how do you say it? For instance, the dialogue likely wouldn't be that toned down. I don't know what the rules are anymore on TV. I have seen/heard some swear words used, but maybe not "the F-bomb". I don't know what word I'm looking for there. Hopefully you understand what I mean.
What if they made the series animated? We all saw the comic posted here (on page 2 of this thread I believe). Make it adult, show it at an adult time, or hell, even 'direct to DVD'? I have watched many an 'anime' film/series and it was quite adult. Devil Hunter Yohko had *some* adult content. Even Sailor Moon had some, too. Lupin the Third is a favourite, as well - the concept is adult in nature and the graphics were, too.
I just hope that if this series ever does make it to a screen format, that they keep to the books and don't screw it around like the CW has done with Vampire Diaries._________________  Yes, I know it's Devil Hunter Yohko...but she reminded me of Rose. |
