Yeah, lots of Angel reminders. But some different vampire lore too. There's nothing else on at the same time, & it doesn't suck (no pun intended). I'll keep giving it chances. (Plus, the vamp detective is hooooooooooot!)

I understood that David Greenwalt wrote last night's episode, which is probably why I enjoyed it so much...

and I really like the actor who plays Mick...
and I like Jason Dohring who plays his bestest friend
and I really like Sophia Myles (The Girl in the Fireplace, of Doctor Who) who plays the blonde reporter

So I'm going to continue to watch too

Totally agree with you on the K-ville thing. I'm not in NO but I live close to there, so I'm not watching because I think it's not tasteful to do a show so soon after Katrina, and it's on Fox.

I'm only watching shows on FOX now that have lasted two or three seasons... Bones and House.

Darn, I missed Moonlight *shrugs* CBS needs to put it online like ABC is doing for most of their new shows.

How is it doing in the ratings? Cause other then Ghost Whisperer they haven't had a good run with paranormal/sci-fi shows in the past. I loved Wolf Lake and they pretty much abandoned that before it got a chance. And Joan of Arcadia as well... yeah I know not sci-fi but it was a bit out there.

Keep shiny!

This week was a little better than the pilot, probably more to do with Greenwalt's writing than anything else. I'll still give it a few more episodes to prove itself, but won't grieve if it doesn't make it. Never watched Forever Knight, so have no idea about the parallels there, but I see quite a bit of Angel in this show already. And that is not a good thing. If you are going to do a show in a genre that has already been tried, you have to bring something different to it to be considered on its own merits.

My thing is that it's not completely 'wrong' to borrow someone else's ideas, but for the love of Joss, at least try to improve on it, make it completely your own vision, not a retarded version of someone else's.

Kind of why I liked Bones, even though I can't get into procedural's (right spelling?) at all. The humor and the quirky characters set it apart from the rest.

Me too, but I do have my limits.

Not compared to David Boreanaz, IMO. But that was hardly why I loved ANGEL so much anyway.

Moonlight has lost me. Tried watching the last episode, and it was utterly horrific. What's bugged me as much as anything might seem small potatos to some, but I can't get over it. Mainly, the whole 'Vampires in direct sunlight' rule. Mick was walking , in broad daylight, w/ Beth , and using a folder to shade....what ? Himself ?The sunlight was still on his face, in his eyes, all over his skin! It was ridiculous, as he was trying to shield himself from the left, when the light was clearly coming from the right. wtf? And later on, after this disjointed scene of them 2 walking pretty much all in direct sunlight, save for a few areas of shade due to trees, Beth asks " [i\How much sunlight is too much ? " To which Mick replied - " Any " .

So, what happens if ANY sunlight gets on his skin ? Apparently nothing. So lame.

Huh???

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

They do post them online. It's how i watch them. CBS just doesn't advertise that they have them posted. You have to go to moonlights main page and down towards the bottom they have the listings for the episodes they have online.

If you look under their heading for "Full Episodes," it won't be listed however. (Actually, I just checked to verify this and it IS listed now under "Full episodes)

I agree that the walking in sunlight issue hasn't been dealt with consistently, and it is possible they aren't going to spend too much time on it in the future and it is simply a means for them to have Mick out and about during the day, lessening suspicion about his true nature.

But other than that I thought this last episode was an improvement over previous ones. I'm still not sold on the show. The eps are still on my dvr but I haven't been dubbing them over to dvds like I have with Chuck, Reaper and Pushing Daisies, all of which I think are improving as they move along.

I thought they made it clear that sunlight doesn't out right kill vampires in this concept, not the way fire or beheading does...
sunlight makes him sick, and sicker the more he is exposed, so his need for fresh human blood is greater.
Similarly a stake in the heart doesn't kill him either, it only incapacitates (paralyzes) him.

I have no problem with changing the rules, Joss felt free to adapt the rules of vampire lore to suit his concept too.

I can get why people are finding this sappy or lame, but personally it is becoming one of my favorite guilty pleasures ('Chuck' and 'Pushing Daisies' are guilt free, because they are clearly cool).
I won't be surprised if it gets canceled, but I'm enjoying the sexy Vampire guy for now!
