I just want to know if Jason Dohring knows any other way to act because his character was just like Logan! Gah! Other than that I pretty much had your thoughts on the show, though in less detail.

I kept seeing Logan as a vampire

Actually I found that picture rather funny but you're right, it did make taking the character seriously because I kept seeing Logan as a 500 year old teenager. :P I think the attitude worked better on a spoiled rich kid than on a half-century old vampire.

And Mick doesn't seem all that likable to me, either. I like the blonde, but I can't pinpoint why, because she's annoying. (Where the heck have I seen her before?) And what is up with the guy who played the psuedo-vampire? He was Dracula in Buffy, played Vlad the Impaler in a movie, and now this! Is he *trying* to get typecast? LOL

I have to admit that I have a wierd jonesing for a hurt/comfort scene between Mick in the girl involving a sunlight overdose, but otherwise, I actually nodded of a few times there in the last twenty minutes. Thank Gaia I didn't miss SGA!

Yeah, I thought she reminded me of Kate too much too. But She also reminds me of the chick from that Who ep "The Girl in the Fireplace ..."

LOL, I *loved* "Adrift". But yeah, I can see what you mean -- Rodney hit the nail on the head when he whined "Oh come on!" when yet another crisis came up. Still, it certainly made it all riveting for me -- I definitely woke up! :D

So glad I didn't tape that.

Yeah, Nick Digilio that I listen to on WGN, had a thefutoncritic.com to talk about tv last night and mentioned that the show pretty much sucked.

If CBS wanted a vampire detective show, I know one they could have picked up a few years ago.

THANK YOU!!! Why try to re-create the wheel? Oh wait...they did.

I'm glad I decided to watch a movie the other night instead of this.

Maybe they thought that they could usurp the previous Angel fanbase by making it fairly similar, but they seem to have misjudged the fact that nothing pisses off fandom more than unoriginal hacks.

AND a fandom that was ROBBED of what should have been at LEAST a few more seasons.

Also? NOBODY does broody-dark-I'm-really-the-good-guy-in-a-bad-guy-sorta-way like David did as Angel.

Did you know David Greenwalt was associated with the show for a time but then dropped out? Yeah, I wonder why.

No no, he came in after it was pitched and all and then exited.

I watched mostly to mock. Which was fun. But the end? Finding out the woman was the girl he saved all those years ago and is (I'm guessing) going to be his love interest? ICK times a billion.

Damn, you just had to say Beauty and the Beast.

*lol* Depends on how you look at it. That quality may get me to actually check out the show. *facepalm*

Damn JFDoh is in it? No, I'm not watching new shows. Esp. shows that are like Angel but without DB and JM. *nods*

I'm trying, but I actually watched Big Shots Thursday night. Oops. I couldn't help it I was at Rob's and they watched Grey's Anatomy and then it came on and it was hot guys and Josh Malina. I adore Josh Malina. *g*

But yeah, I'm watching Heroes, NCIS, Bones, House, Boston Legal, Ugly Betty, The Office, Supernatural, Stargate Atlantis, maybe Numb3rs (hot peoples), and of course the Daily Show and The Colbert Report 4 nights a week. See no time for new TV!

Lol, yeah.
I must admit, I'm intrigued with how they're going to make it 'new.' Despite of all the similarities and cliche's, I'm willing to watch, because there is a lack of vampire shows...and Jason Dohring.
I love how he was portrayed though, very yummy:D
Also, there's this show on Lifetime called "Blood Ties," which is another vampire/detective sorta thing...but it's Lifetime...so idk;p

I have it waiting at home on the TiVo. I wasn't expecting much. Especially since it's being paired with Ghost Whisperer. *shudder*

Mid-season is the Sarah Connor Chronicles... Terminator: The TV series... But has a butt-kicking Summer Glau in it.

Which we wouldn't know, since we refused to wait in the RIDICULOUSLY long line at Comic Con...instead...we took a bathroom break. *grin* Yay us!!!

I'm so outta touch with normal tv, lol, scifi owns my soul. I never even heard of this show until ppl on my flist starting talking about it. And of course, I'm curious so now I gotta check it out. I'm not liking the sound of it though.

Here's some articles for you:

David Greenwalt hired to run Moonlight

David Greenwalt recasts most of the show leads and then exits Moonlight for personal reasons

I DVRed the show out of curiosity, but only watched about 15 minutes before giving up. I could already tell it was going to be lame.

I haven't yet watched all the new shows I recorded, but so far Bionic Woman was pretty good.

I've only just now watched the first episode of Moonlight and I like it. Like I'm probably going to watch it on purpose because I'm probably going to look forward to it. I hesitate to tell you that, but only slightly.

I get how the basic description - vampire detective in LA, etc - sounds like Angel, but I don't find myself comparing it to Angel at all. It's much more comparable, for me, to Forever Knight. *That* was my first vampire-seeking-redemption-through-good-deeds (as a cop) series. And it had the romance aspect to it that you mention. Forever Knight has its own special place in my heart and I'm sure that lends to my liking Moonlight.

I now want to go searching for transcripts of Lacroix's radio broadcast insights/speeches. *nostalgia*

I think a main reason I like it is the cast. So many of the faces in the episode are people I know and like.

Dean O'Gorman - the T.A. I love him. Young Iolaus, yay! His being in the ep was what got me to watch it, actually.

Sophia Myles. The blonde. I love her, too. She was in Underworld. And was Reinette in Doctor Who. (Still David Tennant's girlfriend? I haven't checked recently.) Isolde in Tristan+Isolde. Anyway, I always like her.

Jason Dohring - Yeah, he is pretty much a 400 year old spoiled rich brat/teenager. But still, I like that he's there.

Shannyn Sossamon - Knight's Tale (meh about her in it, but I love the movie). Was in The Order (also meh about her in it, but I rally like the movie). I think she's a fair actress and I don't hate her.

Kevin Weisman - Marshall from Alias. I was pleasantly surprised to see him. Imdb only has him listed for the one ep, though. :(

Don't know Mick's real name, but I like him so far.


I don't guess those were actually necessary. You probably recognized as many as I did. :)

*one-shoulder shrug* I like it. Hopefully, you still like me. :)
