Oh, yes, I completely agree about the Buffy similarities--and I saw some review linked off of ninth_wonders that actually went into that comparison in detail--I think the reviewer's name was something like torchwillow? And that may explain my sympathy with Jackie--she reminded me a little of Cordy, who I adored. I'm really sad that she's dead, because it means she doesn't get a chance at redemption.

I actually hated Eden for the first few eps, but there's something about someone who is able to compell you to do things with their voice...GUH. (One of the reasons I've always liked vampire stuff, come to think of it).
