'I watched three episodes of this series, and the series is pretty good.
It's not as good as FK, but I enjoy it more than the alternatives.'
I personally find it a retread of FK and just watch it for the laughs.
Every time Beth calls the guy Nick I scream with laughter (it's happened
twice now) and I wonder whatintheh3ll is really going on at CBS that they
couldn't fix this in looping the dialogue. Plus, it's really fun to blast
it apart on the SciFi FK board, which is back now. My enjoyment of the
series is decidedly mean-spirited and b!tchy. Really.
I find Moonlight to be a pale reflection of FK, pun intended. It's really a
shot and a miss, as far as I'm concerned. I look forward to Fever, though.
Mayhap there will be an original thought in the script to come...or not. I
rather expect a reinterpretation of Last Knight, somehow, without the bodies
littering the stage...

Subject: the info for the FKm/Moonlight list
Here is the addy to sign up for the FK/Moonlight list. This list is for *FANS*
of Moonlight, not those who want to ridicule or berate the show or fans. That
doesn't mean you have to be a die-hard fan as we have some folks who are still
trying to decide about Moonlight.
Years ago, we had someone on FORKNI-L go around to another (short lived)
vampire show's message boards and leave some very nasty message about that show and
its fans. It caused at least one of my friends to leave Forkni-l as she didn't
want to have anything to do with people like that. I don't want that to happen
at FKmoonlight.
I happen to love Moonlight as do many others and there's nothing wrong with
that. There's also nothing wrong with not liking it as much as FK or not liking
it at all.

To keep down on spam, I have to approve each member so please be patient. You
also must be 18 or older.
Thanks!

Subject: Episode Discussion Reminder: Fatal Act
Next Tuesday (October 23, 2007) is the day for the scheduled list
discussion of Fatal Act.
This is the next to the last episode of Season 1 and Captain Stonetree
is front-and-center as the main character in the episode.
Tonight, there is the opportunity not just for a vampire double-header,
but a vampire triple-header.
So...snuggle up with someone you love and catch
a) Moonlight at 9:00PM on CBS (FK light...but with potential)
b) Fatal Act at 10:00PM on DVD (keep notes for Tuesday and you'll have
to find someway to kill 18 minutes with your sweetie because there
aren't any commercials on DVD)
c) BloodTies at 11:00PM on LifeTime (FK Alumni Christina Cox - Joan Of
Arc from Season 1 - in Toronto with vampires. Well written, well acted.
Christina's character of Vicki reminds me a little of a Dark Perk
interpretation of Tracy Vetter...so its fun to listen to the echos of FK
while enjoying something new.
Enjoy your weekend everybody.
Tim

Talking about retread. Did you notice the flashback scene, where Mick killed
his sire? Didn't that seem a lot like the scene, where Nick "killed" LaCroix
early in the FK series? I want to go back and re-watch the FK scene. I swear
the scenes are almost identical, save for LaCroix didn't wear a dress. Now,
will she come back with a radio talk show?
As for the scenes, where she calls Mick, Nick, my girlfriend cracked up
laughing.

Subject: Moonlight/FK comparison
And that's the same reason that Baskin-Robbins makes 31 flavors...because not
everyone likes vanilla! Everyone will see something different. LOL
I think we're all sooo spoiled by having a show as fabulous and special as FK
to compare this to.

Subject: FK/Doctor Who xover
A friend of mine sent me a link for an intriguing
little FK/DW xover. It's an intriguing little story,
not much more than a drabble. It involves LaCroix and
The Master, before the events in the DW episode
'Utopia'.
'Meeting the Master'
LaCroix/The Master
SPOILERS for the end of DW season three if you haven't
seen it.
WARNING:It's slightly slashy, but IMO, it's more about
power than sex.

I have mixed feelings about it. I'm curious to see
how others react.

WOW... now that's a scary pairing. I'll read it when I get home. LJ
is blocked at my job.
I am a HUGE Doctor Who and Torchwood Fan.
I was working on a story where Nick winds up back in Wales after LK,
and goes to Cardiff to 'relax' and winds meeting Jack there. Two
guys who can't die. Hmmmm.....
Real life has come up and I've gotten into video making, so needless
to say it's still sitting there.
