Oh MAN. Perect timing. I've gotten interested in a show, just in time for a strike.

I think I've been persuaded to watch Moonlight. The vampire detective, who falls for a human, seems to be the selling point.

Even if Forever Knight, Buffy and Angel have already done this, I am such an easy sell. Just check this one for why. Angst, UST, super hotness, co-ed showers:

You remember how I'm one of those annoying people who seems to get a unnatural kick out of rooting for or enjoying whatever hated "other people" come between the OTP? Kinda like Tess on Roswell when she was introduced?

Not on Moonlight. Most recent episoded sort of went into explaining this whole history with Mick's ex-wife and all I did was sit there are go "Not enough Beth".

It wasn't a badly written episode or anything. And I guess maybe it's good for the Mick angst and freakout value. But yeah... *blinks*

It fascinates me how much I find Mick. Because I actually don't think that he is that beautiful on a pure face level. But wow, when he's animated, he's just so hot and cute and animated.

It amuses me that even the official CBS web administrator who share CBS material on youtube make MickBeth videos. :D

Heeeee. I am very curious to check it out now, to see what show got you to like the 'official' couple.

Re: triangles (upthread). I am not keen on them, mainly because it makes me annoyed with the person in the center. A little confusion and choosing is understandable, I suppose, but pick one! If you can't decide, means you don't really want either.

Supposedly in the original version of Blood Ties she has lots of sex with both of them. In the tv version she has sex with neither. I guess it's a better triangle version than normal because both want her and she pretty much tells both of them no. One is the sexy young looking vampire and she tells him no, well, because he's a vampire. The other one is her ex-partner and I think they used to have a relationship once and now they are sorta still friends. So there might be still old feelings between them, but it's not like she really wants to be with him anymore.

For me, she is a really cool female character. Something just rings true to me about her. I remember, when I saw the show for the first time (BTW, if you ever decide to watch Blood Ties after all, IGNORE the pilot; it's probably the weakest episode of all of them), my first reaction was "I bet this was written by a woman (but in a good way)". I was quite shocked when I read that they have a male headwriter. And then I finally found out that the whole show is based on a book series by a female writer, so I felt vindicated :D

Btw, the best Blood Ties episode is the one where she keeps reliving a certain day. The main actress did an amazing job with it for my taste. Plus, that scenario can always be milked because you can show somebody being killed off and everybody's reaction to it, but it can be undone.
