When i say witchblade fan, i mean the good witchblade. The comic book withcblade. THis show is a horrible disgrace to the wonderful comic, and the people who created it. But my biggest pet peeve has to be Ian Nottingham, he is supposed to be of Japanese decent and British!!!!!!!!!!!! He does not look like a Japanese guy to me.ANd who can forget that metallic looking thing on her arm, the Witchblade is ORGANIC!!!! it's supposed to be a greeny colour, and like a living thing on her arm, not that chunky silver thing she wears.ugh. True i''ve only seen a few episodes before i couldn't stand it, but i don't think it got any better.

One good note, the character of Jake is perfect. The only one unfortunatly. this had great potential and it was absoloutly decimated.

Not to mention, all she does is jump to the left or make a pose with it, that all the bullets hit conveniently only that same fix target, not to mention all those ridiculous attempts of turning this into a dark series and her a bad a.s.s chick.

I am a huge fan of the comic as well. I've loved it since it was released in 1995 when i was like 11. I have every single issue, except for a few of the specials and i absolutely love it (although Michael Turner was the best artist!). but i love the series as well. true, it wasn't the same as the comic, they did change a lot of it. and i do agree with Nottingham. he should have been the wonderful british assassin we all know and love.
but i do realize that they had to change a lot of stuff for various reasons. probably for money reasons. but they did keep to the comic in several ways. Joan of Arc was still a bearer and there was still the sexual tension between Sara and Nottingham. although they did change how Sara's father died, and they changed Siry, but it was still a great series. i enjoyed watching it every week.
just my opinion.

F@ck me. F@ck me sideways!

Whoever said she was hot, ewww.. She's disgustingly ugly, In the comics she's hot!
And yeah, this *beep* show sucks, It makes me sick watching this incredibly terrible show, thank god it got cancelled.

I think Yancy Butler had the look and attitude for Sara Pezzini but I agree with the idea that this is not the real Witchblade. My pet peeve with the the show has always been that the armor should have been organic. That turned me off of the show from the beginning and I never went back. There were no suits of armor or swords. My wife tells me it was good. I really have no desire to find out until they get it right. Maybe if it comes out on DVD I'll take a chance.
