Moonlight wasn't quite as excrutiating to watch as I'd feared. I don't think it has a hope in hell of surviving unless the writers come up with some original storylines and better dialogue. (And why is pop culture bagging anthropologists all of a sudden? Cut it out.) But Jason Dohring's 400 year old yuppie Josef reminds me pleasantly of my old LARP

Wait. Is Kristen Bell going to join the cast of Heroes? Oh, dear.

Anyway, I just finished watching the series premiere and oh my god, David Anders was hilarious. He rocked.

*g* I love your keywords for it.

Oh...shivers. Was that a spoiler? I'm sorry, I forgot.

*FLAILS*

Oh, wasn't he? He love his British accent was completely different from his one on Alias, and how spot on he played all the comedy - and in Japanese!!

Blast. I meant "I love his British accent"...

Oh, no worries about spoilers--I seldom care about 'em. I just hadn't heard, and find myself reacting more and more negatively every time another skinny blonde girl is cast in anything I like. I have the equivalent reaction, to be honest, about casting Anders as a Japanese folk hero. I expect that's been thoroughly debated, I just haven't followed it.

I LOVED that his accent was so different! Much broader, less effete. I mean, his accent as Sark barely qualified as English anyway, but he sounded much more assured, controlled, and confident in this part. Baby's growing up, eh?

And all I could think of, listening to his delivery of the Japanese dialogue, was that Sydney Bristow herself didn't do it as well. But mostly I was wowed by the comedy. He's good at it!

Katee Sackoff excepted, I need hardly add. True asskicking maniacs don't fall under the "skinny blonde girl" classification, imo.

We should have known. I mean, a face like that... It was all in his tiny (and not so tiny) expressions, his reactions to Hiro - and that's the same things that I loved about his Sark. He turned this stock villain with a blank face into someone you wanted to know about, by hinting at what was just underneath. Beat that, Furrow-Brows.

I don't particularly care whether or not his accent was totally correct; it's the way he delivered the lines, effortlessly, and staying in character all the while, that impressed me.
