    I’ve just watched ep 12, but it’s almost 3am so I’ll comment later.

    Catch up, Bit-ches!

    I had planned on hunkering down and glueing my eyeballs to several eps today, but there is a Walking Dead marathon on and the zombies are trying to woo me away from Mick. They’re kind of winning right now.

    I brought up the Mayan apocalypse on the Firefly page but it got me wondering (always dangerous)… will the vampires survive that? I mean, unless the world is engulfed by fire, seems to me that vampires and zombies will be looking at each other when it’s all over and saying, “now what?”

        Ess: Re: 27) Was Mick snoring?
        OK, I watched again & I did hear something, twice, right when he wakes up, but it didn’t sound like snoring to me. This is really weird, but it sounded like Morning Doves cooing. I know I don’t see well so maybe I can’t hear either, but that’s what it sounded like to me. LOL McMo

    I love that we have 20 comments before our first recap on the page! lol!

    Episode 12 – The Mortal Cure (SQUEE!! was waiting on this one!)
    1. Mick’s faaaaace when he says “I’ll see you” :( heart. broken. Broken heart. Mine.
    2. Poor Beth :(
    3. Did no one see those guys jump off Mick’s buidling? seriously? In LA?
    4. Josef looks a bit unnerved when Mick describes “Lance”.
    5. Guitar hero – I do not get the appeal of this video game. Boys and their toys. that said, I’d watch Alex play it any day. All day.
    6. :( :( Josh :( :(
    7. Ice cubes !!! Are you guys happy with these? c*nts
    8. Vamp’d Mick in the lab. Hot. Hot. Hot. He got hotter as a vamp as the series went on. Or maybe I just liked him more.
    9. Every time he says “Buddy” I do a little adfdakfjdlsafjd;lkfjads;lfkj and he says buddy here and in H50 too. *sigh*
    10. Would you really set a dinner date at a fine restaurant to see your jeweler? really?
    11. Does the jeweler not watch the news?
    12. Josef’s masseuse – Nice Implants
    13. Hello shirtless Josef! A little pale but better than expected.
    14. Oh sh/t that grin! Stop it Mick! Just. Stop!!! I lose all my panties watching H50. They’re going to really revolt if you start killing them too.
    15. Mick to Beth “You ok?” – Kill Me Now – asdfghjjlkj;lkj
    16. Coraline looked like she was getting off just from the hug. #ITotesWouldToo
    17. Several scenes I didn’t notice what they were saying because I was too distracted by the curls in the back of Mick’s hair. More adfjdfkljad;sfkjd;akfj
    18. Coraline saying “Beth is starting to like me. She didn’t stab me this time” LMAO!! Score 1 for Coraline!
    19. The special effects were in rare form in this episode.
    20.Testing the cure on rogue vamps because they need to be put down anyway. Is that ethical?
    21. Awwww Coraline still loves Mick. (and who wouldn’t….I mean, really…)
    22. Oh….vamp cure doesn’t cure the voice over thing.
    23. Ouch! Poor Mick… :( I need to kiss his boo boos.
    24. Oh! She tells Lance this is the rest of the cure, doesn’t tell him about the stash! Oh…what could have been. Damn you CBS!
    25. Ohh! Coraline broke the rule turning Mick against his will & bringing him into the family unapproved! She DID love Mick!
    26.HURT MICK!! So hot. hot. hot. More boo boos to kiss.
    27. was he snoring on the couch? I had to rewind several times and I swear I hear a snore or two. LOL! <3 it.
    28. Mick at funeral..oh he needs nail glue for that cut above his eye. :( PS…last weekend my friend wtih 5 children told me about fixing up one of the kids with super glue. I had to stifle a laugh. Seriously. Steve was right!!!

      ’10. Would you really set a dinner date at a fine restaurant to see your jeweler? really?
      I thought this too. Seemed very odd.
      11. Does the jeweler not watch the news?
      Seriously. Even if she didn’t read the paper or watch the news on TV, surely, somewhere in her daily life she comes across something on the internets that is news related??
      18. Coraline saying “Beth is starting to like me. She didn’t stab me this time” LMAO!! Score 1 for Coraline!
      LOVED this!

      1. I have written on my notes, but can’t remember this fully…”Rogue vampires, compound: killing two bats with one stone. Loved this line.
      2. When Mick and Coraline were walking and she suddenly stopped and started sniffing. Then Mick sniffed too…the look on his face when he couldn’t smell anything…priceless.
      3. When Mick woke up the next morning and examined his cut face in the mirror, then said ‘Still human’. Then…that smile. To quote ESS…unfffffff!
      4. My most favourite scene in this ep…Mick at the table, soooo much food! Because that’s the first thing I’d do too…pig out big time.

        LOL, yes! Mick’s face when he realized he has sniffing dysfunction was So. Great.

        Poor Mick, human for a ???? period of time & he has to eat take out & sleep on the couch because he was so unprepared for his dream to come true! (emo!)

        “When Mick woke up the next morning and examined his cut face in the mirror, then said ‘Still human’. Then…that smile. To quote ESS…unfffffff!” – I had to rewind and watch this scene several times because the first few I was too busy screaming “STFU” to my panties that were screaming and clawing at the drawer to get out.

        - I also have “killing two bats with one stone” in my notes. Coraline got some great lines this ep!
        - the food… my notes say PIG OUT. Loved that. Now if we can only get McG to eat like that for a little while…

        Westy, I am going to dob in a large majority of my friends here who have a shocking lack of understanding of what is happening in the world, heck what’s happening here. I think it is entirely possible that she has no idea what happened to Josh.

        “4. My most favourite scene in this ep…Mick at the table, soooo much food! Because that’s the first thing I’d do too…pig out big time.”
        I loved that scene too. It really is, one of the first things I would do for sure.

          I can see Mick trying to decide what to eat. ‘Do I feel like chicken? Or maybe a nice big juicy steak. No, wait. Chinese sounds good. Or pizza. Fk it. I’m gonna order it all! Nomnomnom.

        Did they forget Coraline was a courtesan? Or was that a big ol’ lie that she told Mick? And if so, that means their entire relationship was a lie. They SO DO NOT belong together.

          Pretty sure the lie of omission regarding her vampirism outweighs any other lie about her profession or social status. ;) Coraline may have dibs on Mick since she saw him first, but I’m pretty sure her claim is forfeit after everything that’s gone down over the years!

      • maureen | January 7, 2012 at 11:42 am | Reply

        Steph: I loved the way the writers tied the French Revolution, a truly horrid time in history, into Coraline’s early life. I think we would have had many more interesting, yet disturbing, stories (who can forget the evil Marquis de Sade) about her noble beginnings in the 1700′s, her life during the revolution, the “cure” & her dalliances as a courtesan. With well over 200 years of living, Coraline had many, many personas. McMo

          Very very good point McMo, if I were 400 years old but was forever young & beautiful I suppose I’d have reinvented my life a number of times and done all sorts of interesting things. It would drive me crazy to not be able to eat food anymore. Although the only time I would sparkle would be when I had some shimmery body lotion on. For serious.

            Forever young and beautiful for 400 years! I would totally reinvent myself over and over again! And live in each and every country in the world!
            It would be hard to live without chocolate though. And coffee. And cheese. (Not necessarily together)
            “Although the only time I would sparkle would be when I had some shimmery body lotion on” -> tee hee!!

            I would also have issues with not being able to eat and not being able to go to footy games played during the day…oh and the beach during the day, that’d make me totes sad too.

              Well, I’ll make it unanimous. No chowing down on yummy food, very bad. Living forever young & beautiful, very very good. Sparkling, really, really funny. McMo

      Notes on ESS’s notes:
      - I was waiting for this episode too! And was excited that Stephanie was watching it for the first time!! :)
      - My notes say “I’ll see you” Mick = angst!! My heart hurt at that too.
      - These ice cubes were much more realistic!!
      - I think they finessed the vamp makeup as the series went along. Mick definitely looks better as a vamp now than he did at the start of the series.
      - Josef’s masseuses’ implants. I have no words.
      - Coraline was a mouth breather hugger! Too moan-ey for hugging!
      - “Beth is starting to like me. She didn’t stab me this time” – ACA great line!
      - ESS, I’m so glad that you share my like of Mick/McG after he’s been all beaten up and bruised. More boo boos to kiss, yeah, that’s it ;)
      - I missed the snoring!!

        - not 100% sure it was snoring becuase it’s very quick but I had the sound way up and I was like, wait…what was that noise? rewatched like 4 times and kinda think it was snoring. lol.

      Ep 12.
      Ess’ notes.

      “5. Guitar hero – I do not get the appeal of this video game. Boys and their toys. that said, I’d watch Alex play it any day. All day.”
      I love this game. I play it all the time. My dad was a drummer in a band, my brother plays guitar and piano. This game lets me pretend I fit in with my family. ;)

      “11. Does the jeweler not watch the news?”
      Maybe she’s like Max and doesn’t watch it because it’s bad and scary.

      “12. Josef’s masseuse – Nice Implants.”
      Which one? My friends and I used to watch One Tree Hill all together. We used to play this game, real or fake? :P

      “13. Hello shirtless Josef! A little pale but better than expected.”
      Josef was shirtless? My notes are terrible for this episode because I was so drawn in.

      “15. Mick to Beth “You ok?” – Kill Me Now – asdfghjjlkj;lkj”
      Is this the bit when he goes home and she is waiting for him. If it is, this was my note. ‘It’s ok, come here.’ Mick, when I grow up, can I marry you?

      “20.Testing the cure on rogue vamps because they need to be put down anyway. Is that ethical?”
      I am sure in her eyes, the ends justify the means. She is bent on getting a cure, she doesn’t really care what road she takes to get there. Especially if it gets Mick back to her.

      “25. Ohh! Coraline broke the rule turning Mick against his will & bringing him into the family unapproved! She DID love Mick!”
      She obviously really, really loved him.

        12. can’t tell you wich one becuase I only saw one. Ok, technically 2 (huge boobs). LOL
        15. yes, I think that was the scene. Ugh…i hate him. hate him so much.

        Infant: 20) “Testing the cure on rogue vamps because they need to be put down anyway. Is that ethical?”
        Agreeing with your thoughts & I would add, all Moonlight vamps would have no problem eliminating rogues because they pose a huge threat. The very existance of the vampire community is based upom the secrecy of its members. Rogues only bring questions & unwanted attention (as demonstrated in Ep3 “Dr. Feelgood.” ) McMo

    ESS: First of all. Love your notes.
    EP 12. (One of my favs too.)
    7) Yes, much better ice. Actually looked like ice.
    18) “I think Beth is starting to like me. She didn’t stab me this time.” My favorite Coraline line. Loved it.
    22) Thank goodness because I LOVE the “voice over thing.”
    24) “Oh what could have been. Damn you CBS.” I know, I know. We are so sad together my friend.
    25) I think Coraline definitely loved Mick. No doubt in my mind.
    27) I never noticed Mick snoring on the couch. I’ll have to watch again because how could I have missed this.
    30) “I loved when Josef said 9 ball.” I loved this line too. I think it had alot to do with the look on Josef’s face. I so loved Josef.

    28) Your friend uses nail glue on her kids? I would have loved to see the look on your face when you heard this. Actually, don’t they have that liquid bandaid stuff that would probably work the same? Oh well, you must tell Maha. She will go goofy. Hugsies, McMo

      Episode 12 was so different from everything that’s come before because there wasn’t really a “case” and it wasn’t Mick & Beth pal-ing around LA like everything previous.

      I really liked that they spent some time on the loss of Josh & that it wasn’t swept under the rug. Like, Beth obviously may not have been ready to marry him, but she did have feelings, was involved, and even if they hadn’t been “meant to be” his life & death have impacted her forever. So to have some TIME SPENT on that, it means a lot to me. I mean, that scene of her going to Buzzwire after leaving Mick’s apartment & clicking her their old emails from Josh… I mean, talk about a scene that if it had been cut you never would have noticed or thought it was necessary but WOW, so powerful & real. Amazing that it was kept in the show, which was action packed & full of a lot of plot. I thought it was a good episode, I really enjoyed it.

        ACA. They definitely showed that Beth was affected. Moving on too quickly would have been the wrong choice. Show did well on this one.

          Show did so many things well. So. Many. Things. I am so happily surprised to discover this to be true. I figured this was just a dumb show that people only watched because of Alex but even in the scenes he’s not in, it’s good. Also, the writing, music, the camera work is all really good. Everything but the special effects. ;)

            Steph: ACA. Truth be told, I did not think much of the special effects either, but loved every other area. We have to remember that this series was produced with a very limited budget. I think TPTB did an amazing job with what resources they had. There was major talent in every dept., that’s for sure. The stand-out area for me, after the actors, was definitely the writing. I’m so glad you are enjoying. McMo

        “I really liked that they spent some time on the loss of Josh & that it wasn’t swept under the rug.”
        I really liked this as well. Go show go! It brought a lot of class and respect to the character of Beth. (Not that she didn’t already have it, that’s not what I’m saying). Smart move by the show. Josh, you weren’t chopped liver after all.

      • maureen | January 7, 2012 at 1:33 pm | Reply

        Steph: I too liked the way the loss of Josh was handled & the way the writers kept his memory in the storytelling for awhile. He was an important character & his loss had a great impact on those around him. Being shown the aftermath of his loss gives us a much better understanding of the remaining characters.
        ACA, Beth’s scene at Buzzwire could have easily been omitted, but I’m glad it wasn’t. It showed us her vunerability, her love (although she wasn’t “in love” with Josh ‘that would be Mick’) for Josh, her sense of loss, guilt & confusion. She became more real to us in this scene.
        Sidebar: This type writing would greatly improve H50. Their “oh, it happened off screen” crap regarding their characters is such a lazy rip off & always leaves us confused & wanting. Showing us would leave far more of an impact & greater character connection than simply tellling us & sometimes we don’t even get the telling part. We’re left on our own to just “imagine what happened.” Awful writing H50, awful. McMo

    Episode 12 – The Mortal Cure

    1. Hi Ice Cube Lady aka Andie from Dawsons Creek. You dumped Pacey, you are one crazy lady. Pacey, call me.
    2. Mick still swoops in to save Coraline. I <3 you Mick.
    3. Why is the cleaner dressed as a dominatrix?
    4. I love Micks longer hair.
    5. Poor Josh. He was going to propose all the while Beth was having all these feelings for Mick.
    6. I love Beth and Micks song. You should notice that it plays whenever they are having a moment.
    7. Loved the twist on French history.
    8. Awww poor Josh, he really loved Beth.

    9. Favourite and most thought provoking quotes of the episode:

    Mick: "the pain, the sun, the mortality, it feels amazing."

    Priest?: "Part of what makes life so invigorating is its finite nature. We are all mortal. Time is limited. Part of what allows us to love and hurt and in the end, it inspires us to make the most out of the time we are given."

    Show, you are so smart some times. It is true, without time (a human construct) life is without purpose. If you could live forever what motivation would you have to achieve things? You do not have a marker, i.e. a new year to start afresh, a marker to set goals, hopes and dreams by. Show challenges viewer to question whether or not being a vampire is in reality, all that awesome. This is in addition to the lonely life Show has hinted Mick has had/that vampires have. So while we see all the things Mick can do, the powers he has and how he uses them for good, Show also presents us with the negaitve side to life as a vampire. Go Show!

      Deep thoughts there Infant & lots to think about. It does seem like being alive too long can make you crazy. Josef must have quite a bit of strength of character to stay as sane as he is, only be cynical & jaded. Because Lance & Coraline are baths/t ca-ray-zee.

    “2. Mick still swoops in to save Coraline. I <3 you Mick." – Life Ruiner
    "3. Why is the cleaner dressed as a dominatrix?" – looked hot. ;) Trinity always was too, when she was in the Matrix.
    "4. I love Micks longer hair." – holy sh/t did you think we'd ever say that?? LOL! BTW.. ACA (eep!!)
    "5. Poor Josh. He was going to propose all the while Beth was having all these feelings for Mick" – poor guy. She would have said no. I'm sure of it.

    Infant: AAACCCCAAAA. I’m hugging you right now. You so get why I love this silly little show called “Moonlight.” Although it wasn’t perfect & I did get lost in the absolute beauty & sexiness of Alex and the other actors, there were times when the writing just stopped me in my tracks & really made me focus, think & learn. Cleverly weaved into the storytelling were so many inspiring & thought provoking moments & one of the best is the one you mention, the Priest’s take on mortality. Brilliant on it’s own & so appropriate in it’s relationship to Mick’s story. There were many problems, turnovers & in fighting with the Moonlight writers, but I really loved what they managed to put into print. Hug, Hug, Hugsies to you. LOL McMo

    “Why does Mick usually wear a coat inside his apt when he sleeps in a freezer?” Show never explained, but I have a theory.
    Being a cold blooded vampire (as opposed to say mortal reptiles who do need to absorb external heat to survive) his organs don’t need a heat source to function & actually, the cold is better as it slows down their decay. So I believe he keeps his apt. fairly cold & this is why Beth keeps her coat on when there. I guess he leaves his on because 1) it makes no real difference to his comfort either way so he simply doesn’t think to take it off or 2) he’s just mirroring Beth to make her feel more comfortable. (Y’all know what a gentleman he is.)
    When outside, he wears jackets & coats to insulate his cold body from the warm air & of course, direct sunlight. (I do still wonder.. doesn’t it look odd wearing jackets/coats in LA during the day? Does it really get that cold at night?) McMo

    Glorious day! I have made it to Moonlight page IV and have caught up to ep 12!

    My random thoughts on ep #12:
    - Why does my DVD menu have an image of Carl? Carl? Really? Because he’s so integral to the series?
    - WTF, Beth. Don’t be a sh/thead. You were macking on Mick while you were still with Josh and now you’re all pissed at Mick, blowing him off… whatever. I like you less and less.
    - Multiple sniffings in a matter of moments. Stop, Show, stop.
    - I want a personal tour of Mick’s apartment.
    - Love. Lance. Wish we had learned where the black eyeball came from. At least we know why fire didn’t faze him or Coraline. Fck you, CBS. Fck you right in the eyeball.
    - Josef’s expression when Mick was telling him about the guys looking for Coraline screamed, “I’m tired of Coraline!”
    - The dimple is bookmarking pages in my Victoria’s Secret catalogue.
    - After 12 episodes in a black coat, I fully appreciate tshirts and cargo pants.
    - I’ve never played guitar hero.
    - I became fixated on the big white balls on Beth’s coffee table.
    - Thank you, Show, for giving us drastically better ice cubes.
    - We need a drinking game for all of the sniffing on this show. I’m pretty sure that we would get schnockered during this ep.
    - Mick throught the lab window… asdfjklasdfjkl.
    - Love Natalie Walker playing in the background during the Beth/Celeste scene!
    - Coraline: “And take off your jacket.” And. Your. Pants.
    - It really pisses me off that this is the last we see of Coraline and this storyline.
    - Since Mick has had Coralines badass bloodline in him since she turned him, I wonder if he has had some kind of access to this cure within himself all along.

      Yay! Welcome to “Up To Date Land” which is an ironic name given show ended some three? years ago. ;)

      Spurs “My random thoughts on ep #12:”
      “- After 12 episodes in a black coat, I fully appreciate tshirts and cargo pants.”
      I always liked the cargo pants. But ohhh I miss the jeans. I mean I love jeans as it is, I just bought another pair last week (Hi Gap, you’re gonna send me broke), but I really LOVE Alex in jeans. And chucks…wait who am I? What’s going on?

      “- I’ve never played guitar hero.”
      It’s the best fun!

      “- We need a drinking game for all of the sniffing on this show. I’m pretty sure that we would get schnockered during this ep.’
      I’m such a light weight I’d be gone after ten minutes and then you gals would just be too busy laughing at me to keep playing. ;)

      Spursy: Praise to the Gods above…you’ve caught up & hitched onto the Mooney Train.
      - “Why does my DVD menu have an image of Carl??” I know, you wanted it to be Guillermo, didn’t you? I did.
      - “Fk you CBS. Fk you right in the eyeball.” Ditto!! Ditto!! And Let’s all all fk those striking writers too.
      - “At least we know why fire didn’t faze Lance or Coraline.” I’m still confused on this part, always was. I thought with the “cure,” vamps would not turn to ash when exposed to fire, but would only blister & burn like mortals. So why did Lance’s hand regenerate right away? What am I missing?
      - “Coraline: And take off your jacket.” And. Your. Pants. ROFL.
      - “Since Mick has had Coralines bloodline in him, I wonder if he had some kind of access to the cure within himself all along.” I don’t think so since the “cure” was only temporary. McMo

      • spurschick | January 9, 2012 at 8:57 pm | Reply

        Coraline said that the cure/compound came from their bloodline. To me, this means that there was something about their blood that is different from other vamps. The vamps from back in the day would drink (I assume) their blood so that their fingers wouldn’t turn to ash. This is why Coraline didn’t die in the fire and Lance wasn’t fazed when his arm was ablaze.

        By ep. 12 I decided to take notes and insert. Most are already stated above, so I’ll try to add a few new ones. It’s 2 months late on a 3 year old cancelled show – makes sense at this point.
        1. Does Josh not have family – a mom – to pick his personal effects up from the office? Beth is not any family at all.
        2. Mick always gets his a.s kicked – whether it is a brand new vamp or a medieval one, and when he is not a vamp he really ought to just keep his head down and stay out of a fight even though he would not do that.
        3. Beth should have given the jeweler a chance to explain instead of jumping down her throat right away – I know that is a common soap opera ploy to jump to conclusions, but it is still so rude.
        4. I like how Josef enjoys his life – every time we see him. I wonder if we will ever find out how he is the only one to survive the explosion.
        5. Not new points- but I also love the French Revolution revisionist history, the crystal fire, Josef’s lines, Josh being a stand up guy, agree that when Coraline tells him to take off his jacket she should have continued to the pants and that Lance is a scary dude.
        6. When Coraline cuts him – and sees blood – is she thinking “I’d like to lick that” and if so – ACA.
        7.It seems like she really, really loves Mick. From the time she broke rules to turn him to coming back for him to letting him be human a while. I believed it. Help me understand why she made him human. Why take away his power of sniffing, fighting, whatever and leave him vulnerable to being killed in the alley at a time she needed help getting away?
        8. the cleaner has the right idea to throw her self at Mick, plus I like that cleaner concept – vamp clean up duties – a job that never ends – literally.

          Oddly enough, this chant plays randomly in the background noise of my darts game for the kinect (x-box game, called Kinect Sports 2, kinect is the thing where there’s no controller, you just move your hands). Is darts a big thing in Australia??

          I always figured it was like chanting U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! at international sporting events, as we United Statesers are wont to do.

      #13 Fated To Pretend (Steph’s notes)
      Steph I am TWIIIRLING with glee over your comments! (not to be confused with Twilight or Glee…ick)
      a. Happy Mick makes me want to punch him in his adorableness. & then hug him with my thighs. (pls note nearly same reaction to BAMF Mick)
      b. Mick is smart man. He needs convo with this guy called Steve McGarrett
      j. Guillermo FTW! I <3 him too.
      q. I couldn't stop staring at Beth's chest. I have no idea what they were talking about and Mick wasn't in scene so it wasn't worth replaying.
      r. That is for sh/t his sexing face ya'll!! ILU for capturing it! PS…I want to be under it looking up at it. Just like this. *sigh*
      s. Beth's 'happy face" about the date. My notes say, "she's thinking 'I'm so gonna tap that". Thats why she was happy. Truth.
      x – yes, the "my Beth". *sigh* No one can say Alex isn't passionate. That was totally ad libbed. He FELT that scene!! And in case you hadn't heard this one, Jason has talked about how upset he was and had to take a break after the return scene because he knew how much being human meant to Mick. All those emotions between those two men? Every moment genuine. Tha'ts why that scene kicks ass on so many levels.
      z3 – kiss closer to the light. ILU seriously.

        s. Oh =P~ I saw her glee as being a little more innocent than THAT. It was too cute!
        x. That whole scene. I didn’t get into it in my notes because… there is so much to say. The single tear. MICK’S TEAR. ;__; The blood dripping onto his lips & him licking it up. THE TERRIBLE SAD LOOK ON JOSEF’S FACE. Oh My God Josef’s faaaaaaaaaaace. Good thing we all have 50 million things to say about this ep because I am nowhere near being done saying them all.

            If I were Josef, and I saw that tear, I would have been like, OK OK FORGET IT, I’LL JUST GO GET HER MYSELF! but I guess the whole point was that they knew Bad Dr Vampire had back-up & Josef wasn’t willing to go in solo (or worse, with HumanLiability!Mick) to rescue Beth & DA Dude. Seeing how tough Josef was, I’ll bet he could have done it, with Mick maybe strategically shooting silver buckshot around the room but what do I know. Josef was probably a little selfishly happy that his BVFF was coming back to him. Actually it’s redundant to say “Best Vampire Friend Forever” because the Forever is understood. So BVF*.

              Why oh why didn’t Josef have some other vamp friends he could use to fight with him? Then Mick wouldn’t have had to turn back. Poor Mick.

              Also, the above is rhetorical, lol I fully understand it was a plot device used to make Mick turn back into a vamp, but come on make a friend Josef!

                I thought about Josef’s “other friends” and figured maybe they all got blown up at the poker game. :( You’d think Josef would have more than 3 or 4 friends but maybe since Mick is such a vampire-party-pooper all the time & the other ones got blown up, maybe all of Josef’s other vampire friends don’t come around much anymore.

            I am in the minority (again) but that tear almost killed the moment for me. I didn’t like it. I mean, I ‘get it’. But it didn’t do anyting for me.

              OK, so it’s a little cheesy? But beyond that… For me it’s… More about the depth of emotion it represents then the fact that he’s “actually crying.” Especially because the rest of his face is so passive, considering he’s semi-conscious. So it really is like a spotlight on how deeply he feels this decision. Also, I think it’s another bold decision for the show, right on the heels of male-siring-male you get male tears (or tear). Have you **ever** seen anything like that before? or since??

      EPISODE 13 FATED TO PRETEND

      “d) OMG HOT DOG NOM NOM NOM”

      Makes me want a hot dog. Sheila and I had the best hot dogs outside the Museum of American History in Washington D.C.

      “i) Hottie DA seems like a bad dude. Maybe he would have been a potential love interest if the series had progressed? REMEMBER I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT 3 EPS AT ALL.”

      I’ve only seen these eps once, about a year ago. So I don’t remember what happens and as such made the notes “Hi DA dude!…I don’t think I like you.”

      “l) Mick’s “you gotta be kidding” re: tampon box, hilarious”

      Well now we all know where to find each others valuables so this is no longer a great hiding spot. ;)

      “q) Beth’s SHIRT when talking to new DA dude. WHAT. http://stephaniejane2.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/vlcsnap-2012-01-10-16h19m48s249.png”

      I laughed. Laughed hysterically!! And almost spilt tea on my laptop.

      “x) OH there’s the “my Beth” everyone’s been talking about. No lie, I had to pause the playback for a minute there to get out of the rain because there was rain on my face, I’m telling you. It was raining on my face.”

      It wasn’t raining on my face. But I’m pretty sure the roof of my house could have been blown off and I wouldn’t have noticed. This entire scene. Alex and Jason. Those guys hit it out of the park for sure!

      “y) Beth’s claricaing to Mick that new DA dude “doesn’t strike me as the type who lines unanswered questions” well sucks to be him as I think this show is about to be cancelled leaving lots of Just. Those. Things.”

      Does this also mean sucks to be us? ;)

      “z1) When Mick tells Beth “I don’t want you to get hurt” it’s exactly like McD to Danno in the deleted cargument scene from 1.24″

        i) I’ll bet DA Dude would have been a new love interest for Beth. This show was built for the love triangle or love square even. Mick would still feel responsible for Coraline on some level & his focus on her for awhile would distance him & Beth… Beth would find comfort in the arms of DA Dude…. it probably is going that way (I say this as a person pretenting she is actually watching these on TV back in 199– I mean, in 2007).

        r) I LAUGHED SO HARD (then I was feeling ridiculous because putting 2 links in your comment gets your comment put in Moderation & I was so desperate to get my thoughts posted & tweeted Maha & asked her to release it!) so yes, Beth’s boobs & bra and Mick’s HILARIOUS running face was what got my comment put in moderation purgatory. Was it worth it….???? Yes. Totally. :lol: Glad you all apprecaited.

        y) YEP sucks to be us

        z1) I also have much love for that deleted scene. Scott & Alex totally killed it. Maybe I will jog over to the Extras page & mention that.

    Episode 13!! Comments on Steph’s comments, and my comments all rolled into one. Cause that’s how I roll.

    1. The first few minutes of this ep are awesome! Mick in (sofa) bed, Mick shirtless, Mick’s chest hair… and so happy!! And I’m so happy that human Mick hates shirts too!
    2. Mick and Stephanie and I agree about coffeeeee….
    3. Beth with all the talking in the 3rd person…”it’s time he figured out what he’s gonna do about it”
    4. Josef has awesome lines in this episode: “are you tanned?”
    5. This:
    Josef: So, have you sealed the deal yet?
    Mick: It’s not about sex.
    Josef: Everything’s about sex.
    Mick: I’m 52 years older than her, I drink blood bought from the morgue, and I tend to bite down when I…
    Josef: Some women like that.
    6. I heart Guillermo too!!
    (At this point my notes devolve into single words… TAMPONS! KITTY! DONUT!)
    7. The whole kitty/tampon scene is TOTALLY the writers making fun of AOL’s tampon commercial. It has to be, there is no way that’s a coincidence.
    8. OMG Steph, I did not notice Beth’s shirt! LOL!!
    9. I LOVE watching AOL run. And now I’m laughing my head off at that unattractive screencap of Mick!!
    10. “I’m going to have to *chase* this guy? Crap!”
    11.This:
    Mick: Your name came up in connection with a story that Maureen was working on.
    Josef: Was her body found in the La Brea Tar pits?
    Beth: No.
    Josef: That was the only person I killed this week.
    Mick: We need to talk with your PR agent.
    Josef: Check the tar pit.
    12. from JK’r: “HOLEEEEEEEE SHEEEEEEET Josef means business you guys” Oh yes. ACA.
    13. Two words: MY BETH. (Stephanie, you should see about getting that leaky roof fixed. You don’t want it to be raining on your face all the time ;)
    14. When Beth said “You may have forever, I don’t” I TOTALLY SAID IT WITH HER! Without even thinking about it! OMG I’m such a Mooney!
    15. from JK’r:
    WHY ARE THEY KISSING IN THE DARK I CANT SEE A DAMN THING!
    WHY IS SHE LEAVING WHEN THERE COULD PERHAPS BE MORE KISSING MAYBE NEARER TO A LIGHT?????
    Yes, this. All of this. MORE KISSING!

      9. That was a totally random screen cap. I think I’d paused to write a comment about how human!Mick is going to find running very unfun after all the hot dogs, etc. (a point he did make himself a little later) but that FACE when I paused. Oh my god I laughed. So I had to share.

      Also Maureen’s cat was GORGEOUS. and I am not really a cat person, I like them well enough, but you know, no big deal, but that cat was amazing looking. I hope Beth found it a good home!

      This ep has joined the top 3 for me, with the others, no particular order, being ep 8 & 11.

    6. Josef asking Mick if he sealed the deal. Um, Josef…her BF just died. really??
    7. Mick, “I sleep in a freezer, drink blood from the morgue & I have a tendency to bite down when I..” When you what Mick? I want to hear you say it. Because I’m a dirty. slut. You FKN TEASE. Anyone besides me think that was an ad lib too? Cuz Alex would totes do that. (tease & bite)
    8. Mick, “I am in love with her” and finally…the words are out there.
    9. I always LOL at the pic of Mick on Beth’s phone. Really, you couldn’t take a more natural looking photo?
    10. Beth’s face when she tells Maureen, ” I must hve bad reception at the beach.” Total. Lying. Face.
    11. Poor Beth….one more loss.
    12. For Infant/Grace: When Mick says, “are you alright?” at Buzzwire, he’s rubbing Beth’s arm. Damn him. Unnfff…

    29. Mick + black + McG gear = HOLY F/CKING HOTNESS!

The camera angles, the way he kept his eyes open when he sat up and then when he opens them and then…holy sh/t!!! hold on. I have to go wrangle my panties back up. They have thrown up a Barricade and are singing the tunes from Les Miserables! It's a PANTY REVOLUTION! I may or may not have rewatched this scene 10 times (or more) Hottest. Vampire. Moment. EVER.

But an entire dialoge is spoken in his face and the touch of her hand. dammit I think MY ceiling is leaking now!!
    33. I want a moonlit picnic with Mick on the rooftop. Mick, "I could never hate you." Stop it. Just. Stop.
    34. For all the people that slam his kissing style, bite me! I'm sorry but on my 52" HD TV, that kiss was HOT!! Hot. Hot. Hot. You could see just enough but without it being too graphic.
    35. And then…..they ruined it with the cheesy jump onto the ledge. Oh show. I how I love to hate you.

      - There is a lot of asdfgjklkladgjkl in this episode (insert secret club handshake)
      - (tease & bite) My panties just staged their own revolution. With military strategy.
      - “Josef – “it’s so on” – no foreplay or hairpulling…just straight on!” <– YES. THIS. MORE PLEASE.
      - "an entire dialoge is spoken in his face and the touch of her hand. dammit I think MY ceiling is leaking now!!" Such a well done scene. The emotion!!
      - I want a moonlight rooftop picnic with Mick too. Then the next day, I want a sunshine rooftop picnic with McG. Then the next day… repeat.

      “1. Mick’s bed is in the living room.”

      I like that he set his alarm for 8;30 and went back to bed. Get up you lazy sod! :P

      “2. haaaaaate the open shirt beach walking scene! The pics of this scene alone kept me from watching ML for the longest. So cheesy. ugh.”

      For some reason this made me think of one day a couple of weeks back when I was jogging and I passed another lady jogging….late 40s (so well done her for being fit BUT) she was running in a strapless skin tight top (we call them boob tubes) with no bra. Firstly. OWWWW. Secondly, I yelled out, “MY EYES! MY EYES!” once she was out of ear shot.

      “3 But him lying on the beach all stretched out? adfadlfjas;ldfkjas;ldfkjdsf”

      So awesome. Better see some hot Americans lying on the beach in Hawaii or I’m gonna get upset.

      “4. Mick “this is the old me…from when I was still human”. :( that could be a 50 page post right there, what that one sentence involves. Or
      maybe that’s just Grace & me that could make it 50 pages. LOL!!’

      The first of 50 thousand sighs in this episode. It so could be an entire discussion. Mick was so happy. And knowing what we know having seen this episode, makes it all the more sad to see him so happy. *SIGHS*

      “6. Josef asking Mick if he sealed the deal. Um, Josef…her BF just died. really??”

      Well he is a guy….

      “7. Mick, “I sleep in a freezer, drink blood from the morgue & I have a tendency to bite down when I..” When you what Mick? I want to hear you say it. Because I’m a dirty. slut. You FKN TEASE. Anyone besides me think that was an ad lib too? Cuz Alex would totes do that. (tease & bite)”

      LOL Infant doesn’t wanna hear it, she’s too innocent and has noooo idea what Mick is talking about….None what so ever. *coughs*

      “8. Mick, “I am in love with her” and finally…the words are out there.”

      I want a Mick.

      “12. For Infant/Grace: When Mick says, “are you alright?” at Buzzwire, he’s rubbing Beth’s arm. Damn him. Unnfff…” ;) see my notes shortly.

      “19. David BLUE!! Did ya’ll see my tumblr post about this guy? In case you didn’t recognize him. I an totes see why these two guys are such good friends.”

      David Blue makes me feel guilty for hating Stargate Universe (show he was on before it got canned) so much.

      “21. Hey the politician, wasn’t he the high school principal creep in last week’s H50??”
      He was indeed.

      “23. KRISPY KREME!! Dude, Mick…You must go for the KK!! STAT!”
      Back in the day, in Oz, you could only get KK from Sydney Airport.

      “29. Mick + black + McG gear = HOLY F/CKING HOTNESS!”
      ACA! Ugh, this was a mental note lol because by this point I’d long since stopped taking actual notes.

      “30. Mick’s return was so beautifully shot.”
      One of the stand out scenes of show for me. I wish Sheila would watch this show. I see this bit and just don’t understand how she can’t appreciate show.

      “33. I want a moonlit picnic with Mick on the rooftop. Mick, “I could never hate you.” Stop it. Just. Stop.”
      STOP IT YOU LIFE RUINER! Alex, this is a term of endearment. Just like when we say pi$$er.

      35. And then…..they ruined it with the cheesy jump onto the ledge. Oh show. I how I love to hate you.

      ACA. I find myself wondering if Alex ever got the script and was like “awww no mate no!”

            Not McG has been gone on business so he has not received his punch yet. But he will get his Hawaiian Punch for sure. heh

The only thing I wished for was Mick to remove a tampon from the box and throw it across the room for Travis to chase. how AWESOME would that have been?!?
                  and Beth’s face when Mick asked her to dinner- was that a ‘FK YEAH!’ look!

                    After reading and re-reading I will ACA with westy. Notes are so good and thorough and similar – nothing new to add except to say that panties have long exited the building after the exceptionally hot ‘turning’ scene – and yes it was hot which I did not expect – and the kiss on the rooftop which I agee needed more light so I can more accurately visualize placing myself on the other end of. Why was she walking off? Who walks away from that?
                    So many great lines by and about Josef including ‘he kills someone every week’ and ‘crafty vampire skills’ – he is a delight and a good BVF. And I did like the tear, so much conveyed in it.

                    I was on the edge of my seat for this ancient show waiting to see what would happen, and I totes did not see the doc vamping up coming.
                    50 thousands sighs for all Mick’s smiles – *sigh* 50,001
                    Biggest laugh was when the daughter lunged over the edge and they all lunged in unison from behind – it looked like a sit com to me.
                    Lastly, in reference to our Eric Close convo on another page, the new DA had the same mmm…mm..mouth and jawline action going – I gotta go find the links Steph put in of Mr. Close… just for research purposes only of course.

      I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED that you all hated the open-shirt-beach-walking scene. I thought you all would be enjoying every minute of shirtless!Mick, personally my favorite moment was when he buttoned the damn thing back up to have lunch, very well-mannered, don’t you think? But you really didn’t like it? I’m surprised. On the one hand– You didn’t expect cheesy from this show by now? ;) Or, is this just perhaps one more clue that Moonlight is set in the mid-90s in an alternate universe where there are vampires and iphones? (I really love this theory so will repeat it every chance I get!)

      1. I love little details like that. He bought an alarm clock especially for his human occasion. How long was he human again??

      11. ACA Poor Beth. How tragic to find the dead body of a friend, murdered in that way, no less. Must have been too terrible, but well acted by SM.

      12. Ok so one note I did write down but did not include in my comment last night was about the arm rub. Really? No hug? Boss & close friend murdered & you get an arm rub? I mean… I didn’t want to necessarily see a hug or kiss (I didn’t necessarily want to see anything in particular) but an arm rub just seemed rather… not aloof, wrong word, but just not very personal. I would pat **anyone’s** shoulder if their friend was murdered, you know?

      14. Sexy Vampire Jumping? Beth is an idiot sometimes. ;)

      31. The fight scene was really good, I didn’t make any notes, but Josef was awesome!!!!

    My random thoughts on ep #13:
    - Good morning, lovely chest! Oh how I want to snuggle in your furry softness.
    - Hated the open shirt walking on the beach. Between this and his hair, I’m convinced that Show really hated AOL.
    - The dimple has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R. The dimple has a second name, it’s M-A-Y-E-R.
    - After watching McG 24 hours ago, I have an aversion to the Mooney Meat.
    - “I have this tendency to bite down when I…” Stop. Right. There. I need a moment.
    - Josef looks so… wait. I haven’t gotten over the “bite down when I” comment yet. I need another moment.
    - Josef looks so happy when Mick says that he’s in love with Beth. I love that Josef loves Mick. I’m even going to use <3, the dangling testicles symbol.
    - NewJosh is a snarky dick.
    - Awwwww, Beth's first sniff.
    - Mick: "Give me a hint. Guillermo: "Starts with a V. You used to be one."
    - Well thanks for telling the crime world about the great hiding place, Show.
    - Josef: "Cool! It's like role playing without the leather."
    - One thing I've noticed is that most vamps on Show attempt to keep a low profile. Josef most def is not. How does no one notice the anti-aging.
    - That politician's speech made me vomit in my mouth a little.
    - Is Beth's bra really peeking out while she is talking to NewJosh?
    - Mick's face when he is asking Beth on the date – asdfkjlasdfjkl.
    - Heavy sigh. I'm putting all my cards on the table. Josef, Mick and the re-turn scene. BEST. SCENE. OF. THE. SERIES. PERIOD. Nothing before or after can touch it. Everything else is crap.
    - I so would NOT have walked away on that rooftop. Not after that kiss. I'm going for more.

      -”the re-turn scene. BEST. SCENE. OF. THE. SERIES. PERIOD. Nothing before or after can touch it. Everything else is crap” – this is one of the best scenes of the series for sure. But can’t say the rest is crap. There are MANY great scenes. I can probably list at least one great scene from almost every episode.
      -”After watching McG 24 hours ago, I have an aversion to the Mooney Meat.” – I’m ok as long as he keeps his shirt on.
      -”Josef looks so… wait. I haven’t gotten over the “bite down when I” comment yet. I need another moment.” – I’m embarrassed to admit how many times this comment pops into my head at inopportune times.

      Beth’s bra yes!! see my picture.

      Yes, I can follow you on the Re-Turn scene being the best of the series thus far. REMEMBER I HAVE SEEN NOTHING ELSE PAST THIS. As far as pure emotion, tension, amazingness in every way, yes. Plus everything Ess said, the music, the camera angles, the acting, the everything. So. Damn. Good.

    Episode 13 aka Infants favourite episode.

    As I said earlier, I’m writing all my notes, even though some have been said I wanted to include them just to show Ess how we are totes on the same page.

    1. Mick is so happy it’s ridiculously cute.
    2. Mick sounds really different to Steve (well to my ears) especially in his happy voice at the start of this ep.
    3. Mick decides to make every day of his mortality count, a lesson we could all learn.
    4. “I had lunch with Beth at the beach. Not something you’ll be doing any time soon.” I’m sorry, did Mick just tease Josef? Hehehehe. About time Alex got some funny lines.
    5. Josef, the best friend a guy can have.
    6. Poor Beth, how much can one person take?
    7. Hi new DA! I don’t like you.
    8. The guy says “I’ve heard about you” and when Mick asks if he’s heard good things, DA guy says no and DA guy walks off. Instead of defending himself Mick just focuses on Beth and asks if she’s ok.
    9. I want to go around flicking my jacket back and putting my hands on my hips like Mick does.
    10. Mick and the cat! Ugh! Where is my cat? I will now refer to my cat as “the vampire detector.”
    11. MickLoyal defends Josef straighty away and yet still goes to question him. Nice. :P
    12. Hey politician guy was in H50 last week.
    13. 17.49 at the diet donut place, on the wall there’s photos, one of the shots is of a woman in bathers and there is a dount in her bikini bottom. I don’t understand.
    14. Mick eats a donut. I want a donut even though just ten seconds ago there was a shot of a donut down some chicks bikini.
    15. Beth: “no they’re lipsocution scars.” Micks eyebrows! Wow.
    16. The house Mick knocks on before the chase (the valet guy? forgot his name) is that Lane Kim’s house from Gilmore Girls?
    17. Scene where Mick stops the girl from killing herself. Eat your heart out Jack and Rose. (Titanic for those who don’t get my drift).

    So they are the end of my actual notes. But others I have made since I can now think again.

    a) I love that show was bold enough to have a male sire a male. Go show go.
    b) The scene when Josef turns Mick, I fall into what can only be described as a black hole. I lose all concept of what is going on around me and I am just completly drawn in.
    c) “My Beth.” One day I will forget all other quotes in this show. I will STILL remember this one.

      “3. Mick decides to make every day of his mortality count, a lesson we could all learn” – oh wise Infant!!
      “5. Josef, the best friend a guy can have.” – besides having Mick as your BFF. Remember when Josef let Mick do the as.mashing when that guy was hunting him down? Then he split without so much of a thank you..
      “11. MickLoyal defends Josef straighty away and yet still goes to question him. Nice. ” – Another great catch, Infant!!
      “a) I love that show was bold enough to have a male sire a male. Go show go.” – ACA )- I am also happy that Josef didn’t f/ck this ‘turning’ up like with Sarah. Otherwise we would have a completely different show. :(
      “c) “My Beth.” One day I will forget all other quotes in this show. I will STILL remember this one.” – Alex is totes awesome, as the most honest…and most memorable line was an ad lib.

      Dear CBS, thank your lucky stars you cast Alex O’Loughlin. Full. Stop.

      I can see why this is a favorite episode of so many people.

      15. The other note I wrote down that didn’t make it into my comment was “the liposuction scars get the eyebrow?? Really???” Thought it was a weird thing for Mick to get all confuzzled about.

      16. VERY SIMILIAR YES I loved Mrs. Kim. Such a great character. The original tiger mom.

      a) I know! an american show no less. This was incredible. The whole scene, but yes, all I can say is wow. Incredible & amazing.
      b) I think I will have to watch that scene about 100 more times to figure out my feelings. MY FEELINGS!!

        15. I took it as he was wondering why Beth was able to tell what it was. I for one, had no clue.

        16. I assume Gilmore Girls wasn’t filmed in LA? So just looks similar? Gilmore Girls, yet another show I’ve watched.

        b) Any day now Steph, I’ll be able to tell you my exact feelings. Maybe….if I stayed off sardonic and looked up words in the thesaurus for a whole day. :)

    Mooney 13. My fave! I am piggybacking onto ESS’s comments because a)I didn’t take notes b)I am a parasite like that.
    1. Comfy of the couch – forget the donuts. If I were a vamp I would miss NAPS the most. (and chocolate).
    2. I can barely watch the strolling on the beach scene. How AOL did this without cracking up is beyond me. I am cringing just writing this. So.incredibly.cheesy.
    3. Yes, somehow I am not at all bothered by him lounging on the blanket. Maybe if he had rolled up the beach instead of strolled?
    4. You and Grace need to write a thesis. I’d give you a doctorate in ML. A MLD.
    5. “He needs to figure out what hes gonna do about it” this is where my patience was at war with my enjoyment. Get it on already! No, because that will screw everything up! Get it on! No! On! NO! So conflicted.
    6. LOL – sealing the deal. Oh Josef. Never regain a conscience.
    7. Loooooovvvve the bite down line. And the suggestion of it…. Mmmm.
    8. “I am in love with her” – and he admits it!
    9. The picture of Mick on the phone – also reminds me of the picture of McG on Cath’s phone – that was not the best pose either.
    10. Beth’s face said “ I was with my newly human, soon to be bedpartner. Don’t judge me!”
    11. If I were Beth’s friend, at this point I may not be taking her calls. Just sayin. #ikindalikeliving
    12. It’s the little things – rubbing the arm, rocking when he hugs. *sigh*
    15. One person in the world should always know where you hide the important stuff, don’t you think? BTW – mine is the box that my contacts come in – in the bathroom closet. Now y’all know.
    16. Not a cat person either, but as cats go, this one is cute.
    17. The fingers. Stroking the cat. *fanning self*
    18. I would have loved to have more seasons of ML to find out more about Josef’s daily activities…
    20. La Brea Tar pits – LOL when he says “Go check the tar pits” LOL.
    21. OMG! That is the creepy perv principal! Good call!
    22. The whole donut diet. Hysterical. A nod to the real “Cookie Diet” I believe.
    23. I only like KK when they are freshly made. Oh, and up here, KK went out of business. WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. I guess Dunkin Donuts rule the northeast, but Tim’s a coming!
    24. “Sorry you were a murder suspect” gift, LOL – I love how AOL manages to put so many more facial expressions into “human” Mick than he has for “Vamp” Mick.
    25. What is it with me, this man, and kids? Please explain.
    28. Why didn’t they just stand up? – LOL – actually my niece and nephew (16 YO’s ) were doing that this summer – its not as easy as you’d think! But they could’ve at least tried!
    30. Turning scene. When I first watched, and was not MOONEY, I disliked it. Now I have been reformed. I love the little tear on his face.
    33. The picnic. Mick worrying about how the food was seasoned. Me wondering WTF Beth was sitting all the way on the other side of the blanket.
    34. I may or may not have watched the kissing scene 14 times. I plead the 5th. The mini struggle they have… the tugging. The rocking. The kissing. Seriously – no one would have stopped that to have a friggin conversation. No. One. No one but Beth, that is. ARGHHH! I’d STILL be up there making out with him, 4 years later.
    35. The “Peter Pan” move onto the ledge. Can’t have a touching moment without CHEESE. I wonder how many times they had to film that scene with him missing the landing? LOL.

      6. LOL – sealing the deal. Oh Josef. Never regain a conscience. – <<<THIS!! lol!!! He wouldn't be Josef, then he'd be Mick. And we don't need more than one of those. Unless you and I find him and then he might wish there were two of him but i digress..

Yeah it's a bit dorky but that's what's so cool. Shows the comfortableness they had with each other. She kept a dorky pic of Steve McGarrett as his contact icon and he was that comfortable with her to be that goofy. Why? you know why.. #Team CATH b/tches!!

      Is that your way of saying my posts are always epically long (yet hopefully still awesome? :) )? I studied a Bachelor of Arts at university. My friends and I joke that all our Arts degrees did for us was teach us how to bull$hit…hence the ability to write and write and say very little. ;)

      “4. You and Grace need to write a thesis.”
      Fair point. Even Mick got screwed over and he was only a human for what two weeks or something? Maybe we should just be happy Mick didn’t end up dead and 6ft under.

        22. I do not lie. There is a cookie diet. I don’t believe for a minute that they taste like oreos, More like clumped cat litter I’d bet.

    I´m not a big fan ot the beach walk with open shirt either, but think it showed Mick enjoying the sun´s warmth and his joy feeling human again, and human´s are cheesier than cool vamps.

      You have no idea what a Krispy Kreme tastes like? Oh you poor, poor soul. My heart just broke for you. Seriously!! They make the donuts right there and they have a “hot now” sign that they light up when a new batch comes fresh out of the oven and OH. EM. GEE. Heaven. Pure sugar coma induced, Heaven.
      When we did our road trip last fall, we stopped at a Krispy Kreme in SC where the donuts were “hot now”. All I could think (once my brain started functioning again) was thank God there isn’t a Krispy Kreme anywhere close to where I live or work. Truth.

    ACA with ESS….Episode 15 is a special one too. It will move everyone just as this one has.

    Oh, it’s unanimous then…Josef is loved by all? (He does have some of his best lines in this episode.) McMo

    • Karin@notMcNerd | March 17, 2012 at 5:24 pm | Reply

      Have watched this episode 3 or 4 times now and read all the (hundreds of) comments. The re-turn scene was one of the best by far. Josef’s awesome vamp display to show Mick he couldn’t go it alone against the other vamp was spot on. And then Mick’s realization that Josef was right. For me, that split second decision that he needed to become a vamp again to save Beth was a foreshadowing of our future Seal. This is what needs to be done. Do it!
      There have been so many comments about this scene, the “my Beth”, the tear, Josef’s blood dripping into his mouth. But the thing that moved me the most was when, after the bite, and Mick is collapsing, Joseph actually
      cradles Mick’s head as he lays him down. That was IT! Total goo!

      Other random thoughts on 13. I loved Josef’s sly grin when he says “remember the tar pit?” (Aside: I actually visited the La Brea Tar Pits last summer. Missed the bodies!) The techie geek (Logan?) who was embarassed that the Travis password worked. “We shall never speak of this again”.
      “I have two words for you, Krispy Kreme.” I lol’d. There is a Krispy Kreme less than 2 miles from my house. I try not to go more than 3-4 times a year.
      It was such a big deal when it opened, they had to use city cops to control the traffic! KK paid for the extra patrols. I’m actually surprised it’s still open since the one in a more affluent suburb west of me closed a few years ago.

      Also loved Mick’s expression, half smile when Beth said she wondered what this other guy was going to do about her feelings. So many, many amazing AOL expressions in this series! Love that man!

        Karin: The re-turn scene is my very favorite & it’s really hard to pick a favorite in this series; there are so many marvelous ones. The whole vampire bromance scene, from beginning to end, brought me to “goo” too. That “tar pit” line was one of Josef’s best running lines. It still makes me crack up.
        Wouldn’t we all love to stuff Krispy Kremes into AOL’s beautiful face. I loved his expression when he first eyed the donuts…like a 9 year old being surprised by the best sugar rush ever. Yep, we ALL “love that man!”
        Have you finished watching the series?? McMo

        • Karin@notMcNerd | March 18, 2012 at 3:44 pm | Reply

          I have watched every episode, several more than once or twice. Haven’t decided which is my favorite, but I can tell you my favorite scene in the whole series, and it’s not a dramatic one. It’s in Ep. 14 with the creepy photog. When Mick and Hope are having dinner and she’s telling him she quit her job because “she didn’t want to make a living feeding off … “, Mick kind of purses his lips like he’s going to say “oooo, are you really going to go there .. and she stops talking. But instead of getting all flustered at her almost faux pas, she just smiles at him and he smiles back. It reminded me of Alex saying once how important for him a sense of humor is in a woman and how good a relationship can be if the couple “gets” each other that way. To me, this scene epitomizes that kind of relationship. His laugh, and all of his expressions just made me melt.

          More random comments: Ep 1. When Mick was explaining different vampire abilities, did he mention that sometimes he can glimpse the future? I thought I heard that but don’t remember any time in the series when that happened. Did I miss it? Also, it seems that when he got injured in the early episodes, it took him a little while to recover, but in that photog episode, he bounced back pretty fast. Could that be a reflection of his being re-turned? Could he come back stronger?

          Like most everyone else, I loved every scene with Josef. He helped make the show. H50 season 3 — bring him on for an epi or two or three or more!!

But seriously, I loved them so much as a team in Moonlight I would find it really hard to watch them together in a different capacity. I’d keep hoping for them to break into a Moonlight sketch. Of the two, I would probably be OK with Sophia on H50, but not sure on that one either.
              BTW, is Jason on any other series these days? I’ve not seen him in anything since Moonlight. McMo

            Karin: I totally agree, they were so darn adorable and connected in the restaurant scene. They always seemed to bring just the right amount of clever humor into their relationship. I did love these two together.
            I just assumed the speed at which Mick recovered depended upon the nature of his injuries. As you recall, being shot in the head actually knocked him out for a period of time, yet taking a bullet in the arm at close range barely had any effect on him. I don’t think his being re-turned had an impact on his healing abilities.
            I don’t remember Mick mentioning seeing into the future as a vampire trait. I remember him teasing Beth that he could fly and then admitting he couldn’t. I could be wrong, but I don’t remember him stating, or vamps having, psychic abilities. (Although living for 80+ years did give him a d@mn good insight into human behavior which he used most effectively.)
            ACA, I loved Josef and all his life stories. What a character and excellent actor. Josef really was the perfect ying to Mick’s yang. I miss Josef. I think it’s time for another F U CBS, don’t you? McMo

He was sitting in his car outside the professor’s house. Does anyone recall his using that ability anywhere in the series?

          “Wouldn’t we all love to stuff Krispy Kremes into AOL’s beautiful face.” – Nope…not all of us. I’m sorry but I think that’s a very insensitive statement considering what he’s going through. It’s not a matter of him simply NOT eating…. *I* myself have lost about 20 #s dealing with my pain situation..and i’m still losing. It’s.not.that.simple.

          McMo please forgive me for my rant and I am sorry you are taking the brunt of it. But you have expressed your unhappiness since S1, even when most of us thought he was sheer perfection. It’s been a constant debate. Do we really have to keeeeep discussing it? What he ends up weighing is ultimately *his* decision…and unfortunately the Koala powers that be, as I’ve recently found out. It was their decision to have McG thinner this season. Yep.

          He’s trying to get healthy and do what’s right. Isn’t that enough?

    My random thoughts on ep #14 – Click:
    - The car chase scene is so 5-0, except that AOL is playing the Danno role and Tyrney is doing her best McG.
    - How mucn time has passes since Josh died? NewJosh is making his move rather quickly.
    - Jason: “Ah, this one’s new.” Please. Mick is totally out of her league. #Mickhomer
    - How much time has passed since the rooftop? I’d be on that sh/t the next day!
    - Has anyone stalked Mick’s FB page?
    - Um, Josef is pretty much sitting in direct sunlight in his office. Whaaaat?
    - The look Mick gives Josef after he calls him “step sire.” Snail track face.
    - I can’t look at new Buzzwire boss without seeing him in Office Space giving the O face.
    - Poseiden Adventure? Really? Can I get some crackers with that cheese? At least Mick referenced Gene Hackman from the original.
    - The dimple doesn’t know how to put this, but it’s kind of a big deal.
    - Re-turning looks good on Mick! He looks less angry, less angsty… more relaxed.
    - The kiss lean-in on the Queen Mary. Life ruiner. I hate you. Not really.
    - I wonder if he got paid by the sniff.
    - Guillermo doesn’t have to exaggerate his sniffs. You go, Guillermo!
    - Something struck me (and it wasn’t the FOY) when Guillermo was talking about the A/C in the theatre. Instead of a freezer, couldn’t Mick trick out a small room in his apartment and jack the A/C down to a freezing temperature?
    - Lost Boys! Loved that movie! Wish we could have learned more about how and when these kids were turned.
    - With Mick’s speed, couldn’t he have gotten out of the way of the car?
    - Mick gave Beth a cup of hot tea. I love how he is prepared for guests. Shopping at the store must be a b/tch.
    - “I like Dashboard Confessional.” “No, you don’t.” Love it.
    - What?! No goodnight kiss?! You two are so lame. Just do it already!
    - The big money mural is tacky.
    - A wall covered with Mick St. John photos. Brilliant! Much better than a money mural.
    - McVamping. I dangling testicles you, Josef.
    - Beth basically asking Josef to whack Foster. Nice to see Beth turning that corner.
    - Very much like that dress that Beth is wearing at dinner. The blooddrop necklace though… Beth, you tease.
    - Who gave the Mick photos to NewJosh? Is this something that would have reared it’s ugly head later on? F U CBS.

      “- How much time has passed since the rooftop? I’d be on that sh/t the next day!”
      I think it’s a week later.

      “- Has anyone stalked Mick’s FB page?”
      He doesn’t have one LOL. I went to check to see if someone made on as a joke and there’s only pages you can like, not actual FB page.

      “- Um, Josef is pretty much sitting in direct sunlight in his office. Whaaaat?”
      Super special UV coated glass?

      “- Re-turning looks good on Mick! He looks less angry, less angsty… more relaxed.”
      Agreed.

      “- Lost Boys! Loved that movie!”
      How many ML fans, especially younger ones, do you think this reference was lost on? FYI. It wasn’t lost on me. “You’er a creature of the night Michael!…Wait until mom finds out!”

    1. Kind of digging the Audi at the start.
    2. Beth and Mick awkwardly establish Mick doesn’t sleep around with other humans. Adorkable Mick and Beth Moment Number 648.
    3. Mick jumped into the water to save the girl. FYI Mick I can’t swim… *coughs* I am totally a LLWL.
    4. Mick gets so upset over a client he has only been protecting for a week or so. I heart you Mick.
    5. “I told her she could trust me. That I’d look out for her. Now she’s dead.” Hiiiiii angst!!! Mick, it’s not your fault. Beth, hug him. Thank you from all the Moonies.
    6. “His only crime is being in an emo band.” *cries* I’m hurt Mick. Really hurt.
    ….
    …………………………
    ….
    7. Fine you get all protective of Beth and awkwardly ask her to stay over. I almost forgive you.
    8. He is such a dork for an 80 whatever year old. It is adorable.
    9. Ohhh Beth getting Josef to take care of Dean Foster. I kind of like this darker side to Beth. Moral question Number 48 of show, how far would you go to protect someone you love?
    10. Beth and Mick are so adorable together.
    11. DA dude is a creeping creeper who creeps. He watches and knows way too much about Beth.

    1. Why isn’t the sun bothering him in the car or in the restaurant?
    2. Tierny – I have to have someone in my life I trust. – and here we go with the price of celebrity. Ps..I hope Alex has someone he trusts. If not..Me! Me! choose me!

    5. “Tierney’s new hottie” – heh. Truth.

    7. Buzzwire new boss – mentions Amy Winehouse (R.I.P) Such a waste :(
    8. Mick to Dean at boat, “who I am is none of your business” – heh. Sounds like something he’d say in real life. Go Mick/Alex! Also, he’s killing me softly with these curls..seriously ya’ll! http://s1086.photobucket.com/albums/j451/five0BAMF/?action=view&current=Ep14atpartycurlzzz.jpg
    9. Beth stole Jenna Kaye’s prairie girl sweater and bedazzled it for the party.
    10. The prelude to the almost lean in kiss, he’s doing that eyes.xing thing and it’s totally working on me. I need to go buy a First Response PG test.
    11. Sniffing!!
    12. Buzzwire boss – If we’re wrong, we’ll do a retraction. Yeah. uh-huh. And that’s why I hate the media & press. Koalas.
    13. Why is Guillermo doing tests on the anchor? Don’t they have CSI: LA?
    14. Mick to Beth, “come by and we can share some information”. Is that what you crazy kids are calling it these days? Pffft.. I wish. These 2 will be sharing info. Trust.

    17. Mick’s awkward, “I’m not asking you to sleep with me” dance. – Life Ruiner. Stop it with your face. I can’t take it.
    18. Soo..Beth slept downstairs. I would find any excuse to go wake him up, “Um, Mick…I can’t get comfortable. Can you come fluff my pillow?” “Um, Mick…I need something comfortable to sleep in. How about your pants?” “Um, Mick, my panties are afraid fo the dark..will you come hold them for me?” Something like that.
    19. Dean Foster – “I get all news stories first or Mick St. John becomes my #1 priority”. Get in like dude…get in line..
    20. Beth – he’s making a run for it. Mick – They always do. <<and another H50 foreshadowing.
    Danno – do you think he's running? McG – yep
    21. Beth – "you're going to get tired of watching me eat". Mick 'I hope so". YOUR FACE IS A F/CKING LIFE RUINER!!
    22. Beth going to Josef knowing full well how he'd handle it. (she never thought about a payoff…) Interesting!! How much did she love Mick? There ya go…

        Ok, maybe not in real life. But for purposes of the show, he’s had a history of stalking celebrities. He was already unbalanced. He was not going to leave Mick alone. Even if Mick moved, he would find Mick and expose him and put his life in danger. He knew he had something too good to pass up and would have never, ever let him ‘be’. For purposes of show? I think he got what was coming to him.

        Right. She didn’t even wait to see what the guy’s next move would have been after she quit buzzwire. She didn’t consider other options that we saw. In her phone conversation with the guy she didn’t even warn him like “you really don’t want to do that.” Straight to Option K for KILLING.

        But I do like that Josef sent the Lost Boys after him. Nice touch. Since it was going to happen anyway.

    I am so excited to be posting NOTES! I feel like one of the cool kids at last!

    1. Tierney’s driving…this, THIS is why McG always drives. I have to admit, when she drove through those two cars, it was pretty cool.
    2. DA dude (can’t remember his name) I know he was asking how Mick and ‘that other guy’ got Beth and him out of the vamp plastic surgeon’s office. But really, wouldn’t you be DEMANDING to know, after hearing that vamp fight with all the growling/howling that went on. Surely, SURELY he must have wondered WTF?? was going on? Did he wonder if Mick and TOG had brought a pack of wild dogs in to rescue them? Because I would have wondered.
    3. Beth’s hair. Please Beth, stop watching re-runs of the original Charlie’s Angels. Seriously, get.rid.of.the.curling.iron.
    4. Mick has FB???? Add ME!
    5. Jean Harlow – love how Mick reacts when Josef said he used to go out with her (or stay in). My only question is, since Harlow died in 1937, wouldn’t pre-vamp Mick have been a little young to be a fanboy? I can’t remember how old Mick is supposed to be, (can I still be a MOONEY :) )
    6. When Mick was talking to Dean Foster, the pap, about how much money he’s making by stalking Tierney, I see McG! Hiii, Steve!
    7. The whole LOST BOYS scene…LMAO.
    8. In Mick’s apartment, when he suggests that Beth should stay the night to stay safe – the whole ‘with me, well not WITH me’ convo – reminds me again of McG. Maybe I just want to see McG!
    9. When Logan is going through Tierney’s finances and is amazed and shocked at how much she spends per month on CAT grooming …is this a euphemism for waxing? :)
    10. ‘Vapid little girls without underwear’ Poor Lindsay. Poor Paris. Poor Britney.
    11. DA dude with a file on Mick…how did he get the photos of Mick getting hit by the car?
    12. Beth asking Josef to take care of the pap…not sure how I feel about this. Will have to think on it some more.

      response to Westy’s notes on #14 Click
      1. Tierney’s driving…this, THIS is why McG always drives – YES! I think he may have needed to check his panties afterward.
      2. Surely, SURELY he must have wondered WTF?? was going on? Did he wonder if Mick and TOG had brought a pack of wild dogs in to rescue them? – IKR?! The vampire growling/snarling/whatever TF it is, slays me. Pack of wild dogs. Heh. And then Mick says, “leave his blindfold on”. I’d be all, ‘WHAT? Why??” Stupid new D.A.
      3. Beth’s hair – she has epically bad hair the rest of the series. She cut her hairduring the writers strike and when they went back in for the last 4 episode, they used extensions. I think they had a hard time matching the 2 lengths. These ppl now probably work on H50 trying to cover Alex’s tatts.
      5. I think he says he was turned at 30(ish)? Which would be about what he was when they filmed. He may not have been of age when she was alive but back then, those women were larger than life and were idols for long after their death, weren’t they? Not as interchangeable as the “bombshells” of today. <<insert sarcasm
      7. The whole LOST BOYS scene…LMAO. – YES!! No one is commenting on my screencap! I STILL laugh every single time i look at it. Am I that lame? I mean come on. Their faaaaaaces!!
      9. When Logan is going through Tierney’s finances and is amazed and shocked at how much she spends per month on CAT grooming …is this a euphemism for waxing? – LMAO!! OMG!! Probably ! HAHA!!
      12. Beth asking Josef to take care of the pap…not sure how I feel about this. Will have to think on it some more. – I think this is something that would have surfaced in the future between Mick & Beth. Wonder how Mick would have felt about it? Holding comments though until after end of series.

      My notes cause I feel they mesh well with westy’s.

      1. What the what? Are they both out on dates with other people already?? Really seems like it.
      2. Knowing how the ep ends my next note is a little ironic “the photog is obsessed with mick. Smart.” yeah not so much.
      3. “you’ve known me since I was 4.” was she really that young? I guess so.
      4. The entire “Jean Harlow” scene was priceless. Totally feeling the bromance and again cursing fate this show ended so soon.
      5. Aww Amy Winehouse… :(
      6. When Mick goes off on his rant to the photog about obsessed fans who think they feel a connection to a celebrity… My notes read “crickets at sardonic.”
      7. Then my notes read “I like Tierney!” I really should see these things coming by now. :(
      8. OMG SUPER SLO-MO (non) KISS.
      9. Then my notes read “huh? What was that?” not sure what I meant there.
      10. Next note reads “Noooooooo,” so Tierney just died. :(
      11. Mick takes the camera phone off one of the bystanders and even though they’re way off the boat, mick turns and throws the phone and you hear this little *splish.* LOL.
      12. DA Dude why such a d-bag to Mick??
      13. Guillermo I still Heart You. I like how he said Tierney’s blood alcohol was “normal.” WTF does that mean? None? Or an acceptable level?
      14. Car hit & run! Ruh-ro! Mick didn’t die like he should have!!!
      15. EMO DISCUSSION!!!
      16. Then Beth & DA Dude and Mick & the Manager Dude have a couple reeeeeely boring conversations.
      17. So then they caught the bad guy. Yay!
      18. BETH. BETH AND JOSEF. BETH WENT TO JOSEF YOU GUYS. OMG. OMG. WOW. AND THEN THEY MADE US WATCH THE DUDE DIE SO WE HAD TO THINK THE ENTIRE TIME “BETH DID THIS.” Holy smokes I … Wow. I don’t think Mick would be happy if he knew what went down. Also since DA Dude has the pics Beth may have just ordered a hit on a dude for no real reason, all said and done. We will have to talk about this more.
      19. Finally: Why is Beth obsessed with the word “date?”

      Maybe Papa Mick and Moma Mick raised him right and got him into old school music like Papa Infant did.

      My notes and notes on everyone’s notes, since I’m a day behind:

      This was one of my fave Mick/Josef convos:
      Mick: Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll be careful.
      Josef: Don’t call me that.
      Mick: Well you did turn me.
      Josef: Return, okay. Return. And you were going to become a vampire again anyway. I’m not your sire.
      Mick: Kind of my step-sire.
      Josef: No.
      I thought this was hilarious! And both of their expressions = priceless. Love that Mick was teasing Josef.

      There really were a lot of adorkable Mick/Beth moments in this ep. Love Mick’s smile when he talks to her about dating. HIS FACE!!

      Re. Beth going to Josef about Foster:
      This was the convo:
      Josef: So what do you want me to do about this Foster character?
      Beth: I thought you could handle it. You know pay him off.
      Josef: You think that’ll work?
      Beth: No.
      Josef: [pause] Well then, you know how I’m going to handle it.

      I think that Josef really wanted Beth to understand what she was asking him to do, almost to make her say it. He’s killed oodles of people over the years, but I think this shows that he still doesn’t take a life for granted and wanted Beth to get that. Beth may be falling into the whole vampire (companion) lifestyle and she seems to accept all the killing pretty easily, but I think Josef wanted to make the point that she’s human and this isn’t something humans should just go around doing.
      And then he send the lostboys to kill Foster. Who I HATED. They cast that guy perfectly and he acted the heck out of that role because he made me hate him! For the sake of story, and because “it’s not real” I was happy to see him eaten.

      Re. Emo convo:
      All I could think about in this scene was Infant. That’s it ;)
      It was funny, but when you mention band names in a TV show you’re instantly dating the show. It made me instantly aware that this was 2008.

      Re. Jean Harlow/ “Maybe Papa Mick and Moma Mick raised him right and got him into old school music like Papa Infant did”
      Exactly! Marilyn Monroe is an icon to people who were born long after she died. If I knew someone who knew Jean Harlow I’d be impressed. And not just because they obviously be immortal.

      Re. Beth’s hair:
      OMG bad extensions!!! So obvious and terrible! The colour isn’t even right.
      “These ppl now probably work on H50 trying to cover Alex’s tatts.”
      LOL ACA LOL ACA

      Re. Tierney’s driving:
      “THIS is why McG always drives – YES! I think he may have needed to check his panties afterward.” OMG YES! Agreed!
      And on a side note, I really, really want to take a stunt driving course. Note to self: look into that.

      Re. Beth staying over:
      “Mick’s awkward, “I’m not asking you to sleep with me” dance. – Life Ruiner. Stop it with your face. I can’t take it.”

      Oh yes, Life Ruiner of the first degree. And I love every second of this conversation. My panties were squirming.
      I would have used every one of ESS’s excuses, especially “Um, Mick…I need something comfortable to sleep in. How about your pants?”

        “Re. Emo convo:
        All I could think about in this scene was Infant.”
        It kinda makes me <3 all of you for thinking of me during this scene. :)

        '“These ppl now probably work on H50 trying to cover Alex’s tatts.”
        LOL ACA LOL ACA"
        Look maybe it's us coming at this from the wrong angle. The make up people may just be smarter then we think. Here's what I mean.

        *Make up artist covers up Alex's tatts on his pecs. She claims to not have 20/20 vision and is thus leaning in very closely*
        MUA: Right Alex, you're good to go.
        Alex: Cheers, mate. *Alex puts his shirt back on and walks on to set, filming commences, Steve finds random reason to be without shirt…Alex takes shirt off*
        @Plenkov: CUTTTTTT!!!!!
        *Alex pauses and filming stops*
        Alex: What's wrong, mate?
        @Plenkov: You need to go back to make up you're tatts not covered properly.
        *Alex sighs and walks back to make up still without his shirt on.*
        Alex: Excuse me, looks like I need some more make up on my tatts.
        MUA: Oh I'm sorry Alex. Let's start again…..

        I think we just got served by the make up artisit. :P

        Life Ruiner is indeed the perfect title.

        I remember not really likibg this episode the first time I saw it, maybe because I was still wrapped up in ep13. Watching it now though, and reading everyone’s comments, I enjoyed the little nuances rather than the actual “case.”

    You are all amazing..such detail and thoughts. I think I just read a complete romance novel & loved every word.
    I have just a few thoughts to add on ep#13.

    1) “The Turning Scene” One of the best scenes in a series of so many excellent ones. Wonderfully written, acted & adlibbed.
    I always felt a part of Mick wanted to return to the vampire world. He could have asked Josef to save Beth. Lord knows Josef would have jumped at the opportunity to kill a few vamps, humans or anything really. I know Mick’s human side was telling him, “you’re a man, you must save the woman you love,” but rationally he could have remained human & still saved Beth. So I believe Mick was beginning to miss the powers & perks of the vampire world more than he thought he ever would. I think the kind of superpowers these vampires held over humans would be really hard to give up.
    I also loved the split second look Josef gave when he eyed Mick’s vein (when he threw him against the wall) before he “re-turned” him. It brought me back to the true savage core of these creatures.

    2) I do agree with y’all, the last scene of ep#13 was a “cheesefest,” but I still really liked it. To me, it was Mick celebrating his vampirism. Yes, he was sad he gave up his mortality & its perks & he & Beth were now back to dealing with a relationship of two difference species, but he was also rejoicing that he was again immortal & a far more powerful creature. I took his jumping high & tweaking his head as symbolic – he was once again superior & listening….to the mere humans far below.

    3) Good question – Which bromance is better. – McG & Danno or Mick & Josef. I love them both & really can’t decide so I’m just going to have two favorites. McMo

      I love me some Josef, but I have to say that McG/Danny are my fave bromance.

    • Princess Buttercup (ESS) | January 14, 2012 at 10:19 pm | Reply

      I don’t know which bromance I like better but I have to say what I love about Mick/Josef is that it was rarely angry and directed at each other. Their bromance was always upbeat or at least on a respectable level. Critical but never yelling or over the top. I never felt like I had to chug a bottle of tums to get through an episode.

      • FOYeur | January 15, 2012 at 2:31 am | Reply

        Josef/Mick: Think after 50 years they already worked through a lot of the issues and anger. Maybe Steve and Danny will get there one day.

    My random thoughts on ep #15 – What’s Left Behind:
    - I was the opposite of this kid. There is no way that I would have closed the door. I only felt safe with the doors open.
    - Is that a clown in his room?! Oh hells no! Clowns suck. If the FOY dressed up as a clown, I would be most sad and distressed.
    - Beth: “Oh, I’m not a profiler.” That’s okay, Beth. Loho isn’t one either, but that doesn’t stop her.
    - Josef: “I don’t have the energy to kill everyone who pisses me off.” Oh, if wishing made it so.
    - Those weird people figurines on Mick’s TV table still creep me out.
    - GI Mick is not a good look. Mama. Don’t. Like.
    - The wallpaper in that house makes me dizzy. If my TV had smellovision, I’m sure I could McSniff musty house smell.
    - 40s p-dour wanabe hair is bad. Really, really bad.
    - Mick sitting on the bench with his arm around child molester vamp while both watch little kids play. Cuz that isn’t weird or anything.
    - Love Mick channeling McG during his interrogation on the bench.
    - Beth: “Your family? How?” Well, Beth, there’s this thing called the FOY…”
    - Nice uniform, but it has nothing on the dress blues. Just the thought makes me asdfjklasdfjkl.
    - 40s Mick in the khaki pants. Daaaaamn, he had some junk in that trunk!
    - I love how Mick just lays the whole babymaking story out for Josef. No hesitation. And I love Josef’s reaction even more.
    - Josef has sired many a vamp, huh? F U CBS! Fckin’ Subways.
    - How is everyone sneaking into Mick’s apartment? And how did neither of them smell Beth?
    - Mick: “You want to have my baby?” I need a moment. Can someone please make this a ringtone for me?
    - Speaking of sleeping together… you are both really irritating me now.
    - Unlike Mick, the dimple did it all for the nookie.
    - The scene with Robert. Fck you, Alex. Fck you and your teary eyes and expressive, emo face. Life. Ruiner. I hate you. Not. Really.
    - Is there literally NOBODY else in that library?
    - The guy who took Jacob just out-McG’d Mick.
    - Not my fave episode, but the last scene in the car was pretty killer. Poor Mick. Now will you two please go have the s.xing!

      “- Beth: “Oh, I’m not a profiler.” That’s okay, Beth. Loho isn’t one either, but that doesn’t stop her.”- my note says “did anyone xxxxx Lori?” I can’t read my own writing there. Much like with Lori, I think i lost interest halfway through my sentence.
      - Military Mick is a far cry from miliatary McG. Far. Cry. I am crying…boo.
      “- Love Mick channeling McG during his interrogation on the bench.” – I will asfjaldfjasdf further on this in my notes.
      “- Mick: “You want to have my baby?” I need a moment. Can someone please make this a ringtone for me?” – good call…anyone? anyone?
      “- The scene with Robert. Fck you, Alex. Fck you and your teary eyes and expressive, emo face. Life. Ruiner. I hate you. Not. Really.’ – I couldn’t even take notes in this scene. My one note says “his faaaaaace!!”
      “Is there literally NOBODY else in that library?” – i don’t think it was the library was it? Wasn’t it like a hall of records or something?

      a. For me, the scariest thing in the kid’s room was that dumb disco ball. Turn that sh/t off kiddo! It obvs functioned as a quasi-bat signal as he was kidnappered by Batman.

      b. Oh now I see Beth’s terrible hair & extensions. Wow. Awful. :( But I guess DA Dude doesn’t think it’s that bad because he asks her out on a Crime Scene Date!

      c. Ah, the potential for Mick/Josef bromantic banter: Fresh from the vein sangria & more tar pits banter. LOVE IT!

      d. First Flashback! Yay! Oh boy 1940s Mick is SUCH A SQUARE.

      e. Oh I get the feeling Ray with his lovelywife is DOOMED. OH HOLY CRAP MICK IS BONING HIS FRIENDS WIFE WTF!!! Pre-Vamp Mick was such a frickin horn dog!!

      f. Holy sh/t!! This could be Mick’s son & grandson!!! INTERESTING.

      g. More Flashback!! Oh it’s the 1940s! You know this because of the slightly racist jokes they make & it’s ok. LOL. OMG SOMEBODY AS.SMASH THAT FCKN NAZI!!! GO RAY!! Ray was totally the McG of that unit.

      h. DA Dude is NOT awesome. “tell me you didn’t google me,” give me a fckn break.

      i. Mick totally lost me with his child’s blood/free radicals/butter metaphor. But I did love the way he got all up ins on Pedo!Vamp. Vamp!Mick is pretty scary sometimes.

      j. Mick is totally a bad dude, s.xing the friend’s wife like that, OMG. and WOW just straight up tells Beth he did it. Oh. OH! Ok, well this isn’t the “betrayl” I was thinking it was. The dude was dead Mick. It’s ok to sleep with a lady if the dude is dead & it appears an appropriate amount of time has passed if Mick had recovered enough from his mortar bomb injuries to be doing home repair. Hmm.. OMFG RAY WAS IN A COMA!! A FCKN COMA!!! Poor Mick. Poor Mrs Ray!! JFC. ((I left all this in here exactly as I wrote it in my notes so you can see — first time viewer thoughts.))

      k. “It wasn’t wrong if it was love.” Hmm. Well. Maybe not in this situation, but I wouldn’t go to taking that as a life motto or anything.

      l. I Really Loved how they solved this case with Good Old Fashioned Detective Work. Mick’s vampire skills played little to no part of solving this mystery & I think that is AWESOME.

      m. Beth’s “jealousy” line. I have heard that before (people quoting it out on the internets) and it’s a cute moment but not sure it advanced the cause of…. women acting like grown-ups in tv relationships… I guess is the best way to put it.

      n. Aw, Josef is laughing at “GI Mick.” But then DOUBLE AW, Josef’s “regrets.” That smile he gives Mick when they discuss the possibility of Mick being a father. I’m a melted puddle of goo. They finally said the word “Grandson.” This scene is amazing! but obviously too emotionally tender for two dudes because “Beth’s here!” LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO oh Mick your embarrassed face. Oh Josef YOUR sheepish face. Love these two.

      o. “It may not be any good,” HA! funny stuff there Beth. But Mick. Stop it with the side eye. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. I mean it!!

      p. Mick: “How do you tell a man twice your age that you’re his father?”
      Me: (out loud) YOU DON’T, MICK.
      Mick: You don’t.
      Me: Oh, right. OK then.

      q. More “normal” P.I. work to solve the case! Hooray!

      r. Beth is in danger? The episode needed this? Le sigh. Ugh, put away the flashlight Beth, they make everything scarier. God her hair is terrible, even in the dark. And this whole scene was pointless.

      s. Mick is walking down the kidnapperer’s tunnel and having this weird-ass conversation with him… why? I didn’t get that. Just sneak down there, sneak up being him & take him out!

      t. So, wow, emotional ending. ((I didn’t take any notes on the rescue of the child, or any of the Mick/Beth conversation in the car, my last two notes read: “Observant kid!” and “Why did he drop the picture?” as seeing Mick’s name on the back of that photo is such dumb clarica at this point.))

      So, starting from the scene with Mick & his maybe-son — very well done, with the father’s distress & Mick trying to keep his cool (because really, this ISNT ABOUT HIM, except for all the ways that it is TOTALLY ABOUT HIM). Was amazing. I haven’t read Ess’ notes in depth but I’m betting there’s some jaksfldjklajfkj;a about this scene! ;)

      The Mick/Beth conversation in the car the next morning – ah, well, good to have resolution for Mick. I think he’s probably happier knowing that his friend really was the father of the child & that Lola hadn’t lied to him or Ray for all those years. I mean, sad for Mick to have “lost” that opportunity for gene pool contribution, and family connection but overall I agree with Mick — good on Ray — this was the right thing, thank you Universe & Karma & sweet baby Jesus or whoever was responsible for making Ray the father. Because Ray was awesome & charged that Nazi sniper head on & was a tough SOB. (I am not saying anything neg about Mick here. Mick operated off the info he had. He didn’t do anything wrong & was a total hero himself). In fact, Mick’s guilt about what happened really reminded me of misplaced McG guilt for not being able to stop all the bad things from happening, even when you had no idea what was going on and no way to stop them. Taking on too much, Mick!

      And Beth makes a good point about, what? they’re barely dating so let’s worry about kids down the road & then maybe adopt one or something. OH WAIT THIS SHOW GETS CANCELLED IN FORTY MINUTES SO I GUESS WE’LL NEVER KNOW. :mad:

        d. They were defending my homeland aka the country that couldn’t make up its mind. (For reals kids Italy changed sides in both world wars).

        h. ACA. There is a difference between searching for someone on google and then abusing your access to case records as a DA.

        i. I also loved how up in his face Mick got with Pedo!Vamp.

        j. Wow I love your reaction. It was so the same as mine first time I watched.

        m. Beth’s “jealousy” line. Personally, I hated that line.

        o. “It may not be any good,” HA! funny stuff there Beth. But Mick. Stop it with the side eye. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. I mean it!! – Don’t listen to her Mick, don’t stop. NEVER STOP IT WITH YOUR FACE!!

        Mick’s guilt comparison to McG’s. Alex is great at playing these hero’s with an undercut of vulnerability. (like that Infant??) He excels at it. Sometimes I wonder if he’s drawn to these role. Probably. Why not do something you’re great at?

          Mick for sure gives good angst. AND, even though he’s a VAMPIRE, it’s believable angst, because as we have discussed in previous eps — it’s a mix of dramatic & romantic angst that makes Mick who he is. If he were 100% fawning over Beth, well that’s stupid, that’s Grey’s Anatomy. If he were 100% wrapped up in his vampire self-loathing pity party (his Shelburne/Daddy Issues/Wo Fat, if you will), well, that’s some other show entirely I’m not really sure what. So I guess yes, AOL has chosen the right roles in the right shows for his skills. At least I think so.

    #14 What’s Left Behind
    My **fave** episode. Why? not really sure. Maybe because when I watched the very first time, I didn’t know if he was the father or not and Alex and his stupid Life Ruiner face pulled me in. I paid for every single scene with cash! Broke open the bank, robbed Fort Knox and PAID FUCKING CASH FOR IT ALL!!
    1. Creepy beginning. I had to FF’d through. I’m sleeping alone tonight dudes.
    2. Mick to Josef – are we going to find your designers in the tar pits?
    3. Josef – I don’t have the energy to kill everyone that pisses me off. I drew hearts next to Josef’s name….
    4. The park scene – I don’t know why this scene makes me so akfja;sdlkfja;sdlkfja;dlfkjd. Maybe it’s that there is no mistake. Mick means Mthr Fkn Business. No doubt! The way he talks, the sly fang bearing (adfjakfja;sdkfj) the arm around him when he pulls him in close so he can make sure he knows what Mick is saying… adfkjads;lfjkads;fljadsf That is all.
    5. Mick – he wanted me to take care of you. – I bet he did… I dunno. this made me laugh because it so sounded like a pick up line and I’m not 100% sure how Mick meant it. I think he WAS coming on to her a bit but not really. Like he said it just to see how she’d take it. Also, he really reminded me of Jack Flange in TOF here for some reason. Maybe it’s because he looked so young.
    6. She kisses him on the cheek…then gets this look on her face like, “mmm..you taste yummy!” and goes back for more. I totes get that.
    7. MICK!!! You did NOT leave him for dead and steal his wife!!! stop blaming yourself!!! arrggghhh!!!
    8. How did we get from this sweet, GI Mick to the lush who threw the chair through the window at Coraline’s? Oh yeah…Coraline… Hmmf.
    9. Mick & Beth – “its not wrong if it’s love” .. also…he was kinda pronounced dead! Give yourself a break Mick..
    10. In the kids room with the spiders on the wall. FK no! I am having nightmares tonight for sure.
    11. He said his shoe size is 10.5 but in H50 he says 11. Did his feet grow?
    12. Oh god, the tight shirt is back. NOO!!!
    13. Oh hello chest hair. All is forgiven.
    14. In Mick’s apartment I wrote, apparently like Danny, Josef just lets himself in.
    15. Josef being jellis that Mick might have a rug rat…..awww.. I heart Josef again.
    16. Josef talking about Mick contributing to the gene pool and my note reads: F/CK YEAH he needs to contribute! What a waste…
    17. Josef – Unless you & Beth rewrite rules & learn how to procreate…..oh hi Beth! (whispers) Beth’s here. – DYING..DY.ING!!
    18. I saw McG a little in this episode. When she says he needs to get the kit to the lab he goes, “ok” and I saw McG in the pawn shop thinking about getting the grenade.
    19. McMo’s fave scene: in the car, Mick & Beth “you may not be any good” and his face! He bites is lip and she blushes. I want to smack them around for being lame but they’re also just so freakin cute. Ugh.

    From here I have considerably less notes because I was so wrapped up in the story any his fucking face I couldn’t write. So it’s basically just my feelings on the ending.

    Mick & Robert. This entire scene. ENTIRE SCENE!! Ugh. I mean seriously, how does he do it? He should teach class but then I feel like its’ really something you can’t learn. You either have it or you don’t and he has a gift. a gift of expression. This scene. Every second of it. Can anyone really say anything of importance here becuase I’m just rambling. I can’t form words.. Life Ruiner.
    ~his earnestness in finding that child. Oh i felt every second of it.
    ~Alex carrying kids. FK my life.
    ~”I didn’t know how much I wanted a family until I almost had one.” – I need a minute…………………………………………………this scene gets me every time. I’ve watched 3 times now and 3 times he’s brought me to tears with that one f/cking line (why is this episode making me swear so much???) Not bawling…but honest to got tears. I really wanted that kid to be Mick’s soooo much. All 3 times! Like, can we still go back and change it? PLEASE!! F U CBS!! F U!!
    I mean, if any man on the planet needs to contribute to the gene pool it’s this man! F U Coraline for taking that away from him!! And then when he finds out its not his, he’s all, “this is the way it is supposed to be”. Ugh. I hate you and your perfect stupid facial expressions, hot ass and selflessness.

    I need to go lie down now. I am full on emo at the moment. Stupid Alex…

      Josef really does go through designers. Does the person who originally did his office, pre-bomb, not exist anymore?

      - 11. He said his shoe size is 10.5 but in H50 he says 11. Did his feet grow?
      Much like the FOY.

      ~Alex carrying kids. FK my life.
      Indeed. That also needs to go on the McG doing random sh/t list.

      I must say that, after the stupid sh/t of H50 2.14, I was very happy to see Mick.

      I had another random thought… Mick did do the s.xing with whatshername (the wife) in the BACK yard, right? I mean, they showed the front of that house and it looked like she was on the front porch when he was in the yard sawing at whatever he was sawing. Did these two really throw down on the front porch for the whole neighborhood to see?!

      5. ACA the moment is very TOFFY. I think it’s that cross eyed look he has before he kisses her, yes, it’s very youthful, very Jack.

      8. How did we get from 1945 sweet Jack to 1954(?) chair-throwing Mick? Well… yeah, the diff between being 20 & being 30. Also, who knows how long the relationship with Lila really was? I guess we’re supposed to assume it wasn’t for *too long* because it’s not as if they were an established couple or anything when Ray showed up again if no one in the neighborhood knew enough to say “uh, Ray, I think I saw Mick boning your wife on the porch last weekend.” So sure, Coraline was a trigger for Mick’s insanity for sure, but maybe having Lila taken so quickly out of his life was difficult as well. Like maybe he spent all the rest of those years feeling guilty and not worth of real love/real relationships and was drawn to bad girls like Coraline because she’s not the traditional “wife/mother” type that he didn’t feel he deserved anymore. I mean, can you imagine Coraline making some sort of ham dinner that would tempt a rabbi? I don’t think so.

        ^^^^This. ACA with it all. Very well thought out. Coraline is the bad girl woman who won’t be the traditional wife. (i mean look what happened whe he tried…)

      Coraline should have been staked and burned for her crimes to humanity. No, not all of that drinking of blood killering stuff – but because it meant that Mick couldn’t reproduce. Truth!

      Ess, holy smokes I closed Word. I should have known better since this is your favourite ep!

      “Alex and his stupid Life Ruiner face pulled me in. I paid for every single scene with cash! Broke open the bank, robbed Fort Knox and PAID FUCKING CASH FOR IT ALL!!”
      I may or may not have muttered a fk you Alex and show because this episode killed me. Stop making me feel things and making me emo show!

      4. “The park scene – I don’t know why this scene makes me so akfja;sdlkfja;sdlkfja;dlfkjd. Maybe it’s that there is no mistake. Mick means Mthr Fkn Business.”
      When you sent me a pic of this scene I could not recall at all what scene the pic was from so I was confused as to why you were all asdfghjkl. Then I watched scene and asdfghjkl all on my own and thought ohhh THIS is why Ess sent me this pic.

      5. “Also, he really reminded me of Jack Flange in TOF here for some reason. Maybe it’s because he looked so young.”
      TOF! Alrrrighttt I will watch the commentary of that movie soon for you.

      7. “MICK!!! You did NOT leave him for dead and steal his wife!!! stop blaming yourself!!! arrggghhh!!!”
      It’s how us emo kids with the angsting roll.

      10. “In the kids room with the spiders on the wall. FK no! I am having nightmares tonight for sure.”
      Ditto.

      11. “He said his shoe size is 10.5 but in H50 he says 11. Did his feet grow?”
      When did he say this in H50?

      17. “Josef – Unless you & Beth rewrite rules & learn how to procreate…..oh hi Beth! (whispers) Beth’s here. – DYING..DY.ING!!”
      I loved that. Someone get this dude a job on H50 PLEASE!

      19. “McMo’s fave scene: in the car, Mick & Beth “you may not be any good” and his face!”
      Even Infant knows what that face means.

      ACA on everything from the words “from here I have considerably less notes….” But this, “Alex carrying kids. FK my life,” will always hold a special place in my emo heart. Because all I could write was “ugh I can’t even make notes right now.”

    My Ep 15 notes.

    1. Happy Mick. Yay!
    2. Mick all dressed in black = happy Infant. Yay!
    3. Army Mick. Infant’s head just exploded. He’s a medic too. Show are you trying to kill me?
    4. American houses are so cute. I want one.
    5. I love Mick’s voice when he questions Leo. “Leave the runaways alone, Leo!” asdfghjkl.
    6. Dear MickTradie. My front porch is broken……I don’t actually have a front porch so once I get someone to build one I will break it just so you can come over and fix it. In jeans. And a singlet. It’s hot here. Totes.
    7. Homes with attics and/or basements are scary. My house has neither.
    8. Mick puts his hand on Potential Sons shoulder before he confides to Mick that he is a miracle baby. Mick/Steve/Alex/Andy is so touchy feely. asdfghjkl x 50 billion.
    9. (I wrote this note without looking at my paper, as such it ended up on top of note number 8 but I can make it out and it says) OMG Mick is protective! I WANT ONE.
    10. What happened to all the staff who work at the Hall Of Records? Also is this Harry Potter? What’s with that name? Was State Records Office taken???? State Archives Office????
    11. Do girls normally carry flashlights in their handbags?
    12. Mick with the kid. asdfghjkl. I can’t even make notes right now.

    Some time later….

    13. I knew I watched this episode lying down for a reason. No Infants were harmed in the making or watching of this episode.
    14. I know what the DNA results say and it just makes me so sad because Mick so very badly wanted to be the guys father but then was conflicted because he wanted it to be Roy’s family even more. Mick you are so complex. I can’t pick my favourite episode now because this one moves me. It tugs at my emo heart strings and makes me teary and I hate getting all teary.

    Dear show. Thanks for making me want to hug my bear as given to me by Sheila for Christmas: http://tinyurl.com/6v73x4l

    Fantastic episode. Alex you are the man dude. Seriously. The. Man. NIDA you were so very wise to educate him when he was just a wee little one. CBS thank you for sticking by him because world would be a deprived place without his awesomesauce acting.

    I don’t think there’s anything left for me to say about this episode. But I’m going to anyway.
    1. I suspect Joesiff has not come out of the closet yet…(NTTAWWT) the whole couch convo makes me think this.
    2. When Mick was saying “Blood, juice, juice,blood…those few weeks as a human and I don’t know what I want anymore” <<adlibbing here -and then Joesiff says "blood orange juice must be very confusing for you." Hahahaaa!
    3. "Beth's here" This was my favourite part of the episode,
    4. That HOUSE. OMG, was it not the ugliest interior ever. Seriously, their renovations clearly did not include interior decorating. I think Ken V did the kid a favour by kidnapping him so he wouldn't have to look at that wallpaper ever again.
    5. 1940s military Mick….wouldn't look twice at him. How the hell did they make him look so unappealing?
    6. Leo the pedovamp…"I pick up runaways, and leave them cash. I pay more than the blood bank gives them." Good for you Leo, you're a total champ. Because this makes what you do ok.

    I didn't make too many NOTES this episode because I got too caught up in the story. But the car scene when Mick reads the DNA results…I think he was disappointed ('not realising how much I wanted a family until I almost had one') BUT also a little relieved. Because having a son and grandson would have complicated his life even more. He would never have been able to tell them.
    And Mick, please ask ME if I wanna have your baybee.

      “I didn’t make too many NOTES this episode because I got too caught up in the story.” – **twirls** Isn’t it awesome? I just love this episode. It’s where it all really came together for me on my first watch. I guess it will always have that place in my heart. When I was watching it that Saturday the girls on twitter all told me the eyecandy parts to watch for but no one was really into the story and the emo’s like we got into here. So while you guys became Mooney’s much sooner in show, this was really this episode where it all came together for me. I remember being so emotionally moved by this episode.

      I could go on and on (shut up ya’ll!!)

  38. heymomo | January 21, 2012 at 2:12 pm | Reply

    My notes on Ep 15 “What’s Left Behind” and on everyone else’s notes since I’m catching up again!!

    I really could just ACA with everything that everyone has said. My notes are so much like what you’ve all already written.

    One exception – I don’t think anyone commented on the gesture that made me all asdfghjkl;asdfdafg… at the end when Beth and Mick are in the car and Beth tells Mick that family isn’t just about DNA and she touches the curls at the back of his neck… that asdsddfgghjkkllsd-ed me. Ugh. I am now goo.

    Loved the quotes y’all mentioned! Especially…

    Josef: You are positively Pavillovian where Beth is concerned.

    Josef: Unless you and Beth rewrite the rules of vampire love and figure out how to procreate. (whispers Beth’s here). Hi Beth.
    OMG LOVED this. Love Josef. Fk you CBS for cancelling Josef.

    Beth: I mean we haven’t even slept with each other yet. May not be any good.
    Did she say “you may not be any good” or “it may not be any good”… I’m not sure!! either way, like Infant, I know what that face means!

    Love all the bromance conversations – fresh from the vein sangria!

    Bad hair all around in this ep. Beth’s extensions are awful. That was actually my first note for this ep. Mick’s 1940s hair was bad. The only good hair was the curls at the back of his neck at the end… but I think I’ve already mentioned that ;)

    Pedo!Vamp Leo was creepy. Good casting on the part of show.

    One thing I keep finding odd, maybe it’s just me, and I know it’s for the sake of filming, but Mick’s living room is huge. The sofas across from each other are SO FAR AWAY that Mick and Beth are practically having this really personal conversation in separate rooms! If I was in love with Mick (which I am) and wanted to s*x him up (which I do) and was having a very intimate conversation with him, I would sit next to him on the giant sofa, not all the way across the coffee table on the other side of the room.

    Also loved Mick’s reaction to Beth telling him that she’ll mace him if he keeps sneaking up on her: “It’s only a matter of time.”

    Mick’s shoe size. I also have no idea where this was mentioned in 5-0.

    I still don’t like new DA Dude. Not one bit. He needs to stop hitting on Beth.

    I ADORE Steph’s first-time-watcher’s reaction to Mick telling Beth about his relationship with Lilah. And I love the stream of conciousness retelling of it!!

    Stephanie: “But Mick. Stop it with the side eye. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. I mean it!!” My panties up and left the room again at this moment.

    Spursy: “Really wish that these two would stop talking about sex and just do it.” ACA, sister, ACA!!

    ESS: “Broke open the bank, robbed Fort Knox and PAID FUCKING CASH FOR IT ALL!!” So glad you did. I love this episode too. Despite the bad hair and lack of pantslessness.

    ESS: “Oh hello chest hair. All is forgiven.” ACA!

    Kimmer: “Coraline should have been staked and burned for her crimes to humanity. No, not all of that drinking of blood killering stuff – but because it meant that Mick couldn’t reproduce. Truth!” OMG yes!! Although it did give us angsty emo Mick, and you know how Infant feels about him that way…

    Case in point: Infant: “It’s how us emo kids with the angsting roll.”

    Infant: “Mick/Steve/Alex/Andy is so touchy feely. asdfghjkl x 50 billion.” ACAx50billion.

    Westy: “…the car scene when Mick reads the DNA results…I think he was disappointed…BUT also a little relieved. Because having a son and grandson would have complicated his life even more. He would never have been able to tell them.”
    I totes agree here!! Having a son would have made Mick all the more angsty, and he’d be spying on them all the time, and want to be involved, but he’d know that he can’t get involved… it would have been very messy.
    AND, I agree with Steph that Mick was awesome to feel happy for his friend that he managed to father a child despite the war injury.

    OK, that’s me so far. I’m sure I’ll come up with more!!

      ACA! I did totally notice that it I too resorted to a goo-like state. I do want to nibble on those curls.

      As I’m reading all of the comments, I’m also realizing how much I love that last scene where Mick, while sad that his DNA wasn’t a match, is so happy that Ray was the actual father. I also see sadness that Ray was one of his best friends who he had to give up – a) because of his love for Lila and b) he got vampirific. I am now more sad for Mick that he can’t maintain friendships even more than his lack of romantic relationships. He has Josef, but he must miss having more friends. Sniff. I’m sad. =(

        Looks like it is only me that have doubts then. The scene also looks real and genuine to me, but there is some things that bugged me later on.
        First of all just something totally stupid about the scene – it was ridiculous that they drove all the way there to open it – why didn’t she give it to him when she got into the car when he picked her up. And then they drove off without reason – would they have stayed with a diffirent result?
        Robert’s reaction about the photo – for me he had this look on his face of ‘my mother told me something special about the man on the photo and here you are looking the same with the same name’! And then dramatically dropping the photo and running after them (I know it was done for us to see the names on it, but still his face said something more than ‘friend of my parents’)
        All other physical evidence showed to Mick being the father – His own thought-words: “How do you tell a man twice your age that you are his father?” (At that stage, after already handing in the samples, he himself was pretty sure about partenity and he could make up the perfect answer before opening the results)
        He lied to Beth before (about him rescueing her and being stabbed in Epi 1) and I think he would do it if he thinks its better for her not to know! (She might be jealous that he has offspring, but they can’t have children)
        There was no way he could have a relationship with “Son and Grandson” in any case, as long as they didn’t know about him being Vamp. So for everybody involved (himself included) it was better not to know even if the result was positive.
        He never showed Beth the results, she looked to him to give the answer.
        Just some thoughts (ramblings), maybe because I wanted him to have Family!

    Ok, somewhere way up on an earlier episode I was going to revisit a comment after # 15.
    *********************
    4. Mick “this is the old me…from when I was still human”. that could be a 50 page post right there, what that one sentence involves.
    Mick was so happy. And knowing what we know having seen this episode, makes it all the more sad to see him so happy. *SIGHS*
    *********************
    I think the part of me that wanted Mick to have this family be his is not because I wanted him to have children per se, but more that I wanted him to have something of himself that was still human. Because that’s been an ongoing thread with him. Hanging on to his humanity. It would have its downside sure, he’d have to watch them die. But he’d be able to watch his family evolve generation after generation. It would be his humanity that lived on. Again, I was sad to see him happy. (about the DNA test results)

    Princess: What is the comment limit? Is there one?? You know the last episode will create at least 50, probably more like 100 comments and that’s just from the two of us (just kidding.) And then, as you stated so well – “We’ll need additional room for all the “F U CBS!! wrap up comments” This is so funny, but so true. I vote we ask Mama. McMo
