I always figured it was because the bible used in the court had a cross on the
cover. You can buy bibles that don't, would he be able to handle those?

In regard to Nick. In the third season , there is a scene where Nick tops or
completes various biblical quotations. Proving he had and could read the bible.
My question is was his reaction to this bible caused by his knowledge he was
going to lie or was it because of its use a more consecrated bible.

YUP, there's her name, Wendy!! ::::::Hey Wendy!!::::::::
1) I thought this show was going to be called "Twilight," or, is that something
different?
2) Does anyone know when it starts (either or both, unless they are the same
thing!), I thought I read someplace "June;" (I am trying to fix my
"Yahoogroups," SFTV newsletter is one of them!).
Thanks for any help!
Forever Yours,

I read that "Twilight" was the original name but was changed to "Moonlight"
for whatever reason. It will premiere Friday nights at 9:00 p.m. (eastern
time) in the Fall on CBS.
I saw the promo at YouTube. Not sure what I thought about it, to be honest!

First time poster here so I hope I do this correctly. :-)
I've been following the buzz for this show on various forums since CBS
ordered it to go to pilot but I gotta say that I'm very surprised that it
got picked up by the network. CBS had three supernatural type shows in
development and of the three a zombie dramedy called Babylon Fields was the
one that tested the best. Moonlight then called Twilight was only so-so and
Demons about a Jesuit priest who performed exorcisms was described as weak.
That had kind of bummed me out because my recent reemergance of love for FK
had me pulling for something to fill the void left by FK and the possiblity
of Twilight was what I latched on to.
The on the surface differences and similarities are interesting to look at
nevertheless. The extended preview available on the CBS website has "Mick"
waking up in a coffin. Yeah for real. He has bottles, test tubes, and blood
bags in his refrigerator and a clip currently available on youtube shows him
looking in a mirror after his conversion and what he sees is a distorted
demon.
A lot of people are screaming Angel rip-off as are some articles I've read
but there have been FK mentions by those who remember it. It's
understandable I guess. Angel is still very fresh in a lot of people's minds
and even in its heyday FK, despite such a strong fandom, was pretty obscure.
From the preview I personally see more of the vampire themes that FK used
rather than Angel but the show does seem to be going for a more optimistic
approach with love being the one thing that can truly bring life into a
vampire's existence.
