Well, Mick, Beth, Josef, Coraline, and the recurring characters whose names I never learned: I'm sorry to see you go.  You were cheesy, but fun, and showed promise of growing out of your cheesiness near the end.

The Moonlight finale (1.16 "Sonata") tickled me with continuity -- I caught firm references to four previous episodes, and vague ( Read more... )

Adventures in [CC]:  In the most recent episode of Moonlight (1.15 "What's Left Behind"), the closed captioning repeatedly misidentifies Mick as "Nick," right up until we see his name stenciled on a prop, although the captioning has no problem with the unusual spelling of Josef's name.  Mick's an increasingly appealing character, guys, but he's no ( Read more... )

I usually feel like I'm witnessing a smash-up between Forever Knight and Beauty and the Beast -- two of my best-beloved series -- when I watch Moonlight, but this week that collision hit so hard it produced a fireball.  Let's take a little of this FK episode, and a lot of that BATB, and ignite them with this FK thread...  And how many fanfic ( Read more... )

Here are a few selections from San Jose Mercury News columnist Charlie McCollum's list of expected post-strike series returns. If everything works out, it may look something like this, and I quote:  ( F-List Favorites )

I'm going to lift a line that wiliqueen thoughtfully left in reply to another post, and address it here.  She wrote:

"I hesitate to even label Christina as evil, at least as part of the 'evil master vampire' phrase."
Her comment sent me down this path: "Are there any good master vampire characters in anyone's canon ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned that among evil vampire masters, even Moonlight's Coraline is more interesting and commanding than BloodTies's Christina?  Christina is possibly the least imposing, least fascinating evil vampire master character ever.  She needs her own trope, a revolutionary one, because she looks so pathetic in the standard one ( Read more... )

According to Yahoo! TV, Moonlight is new tonight (1.11 "Love Lasts Forever").  I'll pop a tape into the VCR.  (I'd rather have a new episode of BloodTies or Pushing Daisies, the two not-yet-for-sure-canceled shows from this season I've enjoyed most, but I won't turn up my nose at a new story in anything I'm following.)

Addendum: Numb3rs is ( Read more... )

Oh, dear.  Apparently a new episode of Moonlight aired tonight, featuring Mick's Renaissance-born J.R. Ewing-esque pal.  I was mistaken about the episode that caused the forkni-l flare-up being the mid-season break (aka strike-induced finale).  My VCR was still defaulted to catch it, and I had a tape in, so I lucked out, and will see it this ( Read more... )

This week, the voice-over narration on Moonlight came from ( Mildest Spoiler )

Friday's Moonlight episode ("12:04 AM") made another significant style swing.  Last week, they reined in some of the explanatory voice-over narration (as compared with precedent, and with the closed captioning).  This week, they toned down dialogue, too, with a plethora of wordless scenes overlain by songs, and also scenes with some dialogue in ( Read more... )
