Back in the 2007-2008 TV season, CBS was ahead of the
TWILIGHT craze with a show called "Moonlight." Private detective Mick St. James was the ultimate cool, and much like a former vampire private detective,
Angel.
Moonlight was hot, intense, and tragically pulled after 16 episodes. Maybe the world wasn't ready for vampire mania at the time. (Over 6 months before the Twilight movie opened).
Image my delight and surprise when flipping channels tonight, I found Moonlight on the CW. (WB)/CW has decided to resurrect and air
Moonlight episodes after
The Vampire Diaries for the summer!
On a side note, I do love
Vamp. Diaries, and have been remiss on keeping up with the season. Luckily, season 1 comes out on DVD at the end of August.
I jumped in tonight to episode 6 of
Moonlight, where Mick uncovered a former flame of best friend Josif, (the wonderful Jason Dohring from
Veronica Mars) that was killing other vampires and using their blood as a drug that kills humans if they ingest too much silver-yuck!
What a perfect match up. I see a lot of parallels between
Vamp. Diaries and
Moonlight (and of course
Buffy): a young girl, an old guy with a past he's not proud of and the ability to kill her if he gets too close. It's a never-ending an irresistible plot line. Can't wait to re-watch more
Moonlight!
And to see
Eclipse tomorrow... can't wait!
This entry is for CR for putting up with all my vampire talk.
