I'm waiting for the cancellation axe to fall on some of what I'm watching. I'm also watching Bionic Woman, K-Ville, and I have Pushing Dasies on the DVR.
Watched the first ep of Moonlight finally. Some cheesy dialogue, but the premise and story wasn't too bad. I'm willing to give it another go. I love JOurneyman and Life, though!
It gets better. The first episode (and a lot of stuff from following eps) was such a Forever Knight ripoff, but I find the cast engaging enough that I'll forgive them [g] I really liked last week's episode a lot.
I like the characters in Moonlight but I wish they'd do some more interesting shows. Forever Knight, though I didn't agree with the writer's philosophy about vampires, made one think about the larger issues (vampires vs. religion, suicide, etc). I wish Moonlight would explore those weighty issues.
A couple of things........dracschickOctober 22 2007, 23:09:15 UTC
1. I don't agree that vampirism is analogous to alcoholism. Though many alcholics do die when they go sober, alcohol is not needed to survive. Blood is needed for vampires. They cannot give it up.
2. I was raised Catholic (am closer to Episcopalianism now) so I disagree with the episode where Nick 'dies' and the angel says that he cannot go to heaven just because he's a vampire. In other words, no matter how many good deeds Nick does, he cannot get into heaven. I believe that Nick could get into heaven/be redeemed even though he's a vampire through his good works.
3. I thought it was odd that the vampires could not have a relationship with humans without wanting to kill them. IMO, I think there's a middle ground (taking some blood but not killing them. I would have liked to see Vachon and Tracey together.

Journeyman is pretty good, but the wife is getting to be annoying and shows where they are heading.
The last episode of Moonlight was a bit better and did something a little different from FK for once. Still waiting to see what they do.

I keep missing Private Practice. When the heck is it on?
And you could always do Addison/Dan if he got the job offer from the States and not Europe. (hint, hint)

Private Practice is on Wednesdays at 9pm here (our primetime is 8-10pm)
I promised Pat an Addison/Dan fic ages ago. It's still filed in the 'to write' drawer!

Oh? Do tell :) Seriously, I'd be interested in finding out a little more about what you mean, if you have the inclination.
