Mooney wears big belt buckles and turns up his collar.
He pronounces it Joe-szifv rather than Josef, because of his overbite lisp.
And, his hair is killing me softly.
Because zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, I had only seen one episode until the #FUCUPs spammed me and coerced me into watching the entire series. It was a right fun experience and I appreciate Alex O’Loughlin’s moobies and his junk-in-the-trunk probably more than I should.
Dunno what else to write but that there appear many closeted Sardonic Mooney fans and so this page is an ode to them.
Go forth into the night, Mooneys, and discuss to your heart’s content.
I’ve been so busy and am behind catching up on posts here, but when I saw you had created a special Moonlight page, I had to come comment…
Maha.. THANK YOU! – I am still holding out hope you will watch all 16 episodes. PLEASE! Or do I have to twitterbomb you again??
No twitterbombing necessary! I will watch the first 7 as promised (one a week — because I just can’t. Watch. More.) And I am sure that I will enjoy it for its comedy
Hey all; Find me as Sardonic here: http://h50sardonic.com
You don’t mention which episode you watched but you can’t judge the show by just one episode. You need to watch all 16 episodes IN ORDER to get the full feel of Moonlight. Mick St. John is a tortured soul, who hates what he is and sees himself as a monster. He has kept his distance from humans while at the same time doing what he can through is work to help them in an attempt to see himself as something better than what he has become. But Mick is also funny, loyal, sweet and sexy in a very 1940′s way that is extremely endearing. His love for Beth, the one thing that reminds him that he used to be human that he can still have all those human feelings, is a revelation to him.
Alex is perfect for the role of Mick. He is able to make you FEEL every emotion in every scene. His ability to speak with his eyes is essential in playing Mick because in his solitude Mick spends many introspective moments where you can actually feel his loneliness, his shame (undeserved as it is) for what he is, his resolve to rise about being a vampire and to do good and his anger and resignation when he must fall back on the exact vampire tendencies he hates to do what needs to be done. Mick is very complex, the perfect character for Alex and his abilities as an actor.
Moonlight is, as I saw one reviewer on Amazon say, “sophisticated, smart, sexy…and drop dead romantic” and they are right. Please do not judge it on one episode. Get the DVD, wait for a long, dark, rainy day and settle in for a series that is romantic, sexy, exciting, funny and, of course, angst-ridden. For anyone who loves to watch Alex this show is a must. Mick may not make your panties giggle like Steve does but he will give you a warm romantic snuggle. Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite unless you one of the bad guys! Enjoy.
Wow Linda. Such a description! I’ve already seen the entire series but you make me want to rewatch it right this second!
I must ALL CAPS AGREE with Linda, M. Give it more than one episode, especially as I assume the episode you watched was the first one. It won me over very early on and I am not normally one for the romance stories.
I will watch 2nd epi this weekend; I won’t wait until next week.
Don’t any of you *dislike* it?!
Do friend at work and Sheila count? Because they both dislike. Sheila said, “please don’t make me watch any more” and work friend fell asleep watching the first ep. Watched it again AND fell asleep AGAIN!
I haven’t watched it, so I can’t say I dislike it, but I have no desire to see it. At.all.
Having said that, I am sure that I will break down and watch because you #FUCUPS will make me. Like TOF. Which I said I was uninterested in, and NOW IT ON MY FKN QUICKFLIX QUEUE!!!
I have a sense I shall be coerced to go beyond my 7 episodes.
Approx 11 hours of my life, Westy. I don’t see why you should be immune. Fkn hell.
It’s the hair. Really. I.hate.it.
It’s so v bad. His hair’s thinning out so this sort of a hairstyle doesn’t work.
Like, whereas someone like Gerry Butler has the perfect hair for that style. Lovely lush that *he* is.
I feel sorry for him. And understand because my hair is awful. Then when it’s humid, ekkk!
My bro has hair just like Alex. Curly & fine/thin. I on the other hand inherited the stick straight fine/thin hair. I had the worlds most pathetic pig tails as a child.
My hairdresser always goes, “people come in looking for the flat, straight look”. I want to punch her in her non-causian hair.
People get caught in my hair and die a slow death if not careful. Massive crazy thick curls if not tamed.
I don’t know that it’s “thinning” because it’s always looked thin. He has v v fine, thin hair. I recognize it because it’s a curse my family carries. Those of you with thick lush hair (total b.tches) wouldn’t understand. He’s always had a lot of forehead. lol.
I think thats why it didn’t hold up well to this style. It was too fine. Only had body at the bottom with the curls, no body on top.
Sidebar – how much did you laugh at the moobies? I died a little. Those tight shirts kill me..and not in a good way. heh. Still love him like a mthr fkr though..
The moobies made me want to suckle. Honest.
There was one tight shirt in pilot that killed me. And problem is, one can not suck in moobies, unlike tummies (which I am doing right now).
If he has always been thin haired then he may not bald. Yes, it is a fivehead, not a forehead.
I will gladly be body on top.
“suckle” – I snorted…loudly!
I know exactly what shirt you are speaking of. I couldn’t look away…
His bum may be much better then but I will take the chest/abs of McG any day.
I like the moobies. They remind me of me mum.
Comfort and nurturing they provide a gal after a long day.
P.S. His fkn shirt was NUDE coloured.
“I like the moobies. They remind me of me mum.” – M, your referencing of your mother in this context kind of freaks me out a little.
There is nothing I want to do to Mick, McG, Stan, Alex….that I want to do to my Mum. True.story.
I noticed the moobies. The shirts are a.w.f.u.l. The hair is bad. And yet….I will watch epi 2 tonight
But McG’s physique…MROWWWWWR.
Yup, apparently AOL as a vamp can “glamour” us 4 years later through video. Started out not liking the look – and waaattcched and waaatched and waaatched anyway.
‘P.S. His fkn shirt was NUDE coloured.’
It looked like the top half of long johns. Big turn off for me.
YES!!!! That’s the one!!!!
Fkn lumberjack.
I actually really like Mick’s hair! That and the extra “man meat” on this bod give him a softer look that I actually like. Steve is so hard edged but Mick is soft around the edges…I kinda like that.
It one of the reasons I hope they bring Maryann back to H50 sooner rather than later. She adds a softness to Steve that I think his character could really use.
“Steve is so hard” –
ACA ESS! hate the sideburns too! Which is so hard because I just adore AOL. At least the wardrobe was better than TOF.
I find the hair unbearable. He has baby thin hair ti begin with…it all just looks to high maintainance. He’s still alex still hot…but that blow out is jacked.
You’ll survive – I did and there are no ill effects. It clearly wasn’t going to win any Emmy’s but it was entertaining.
I had never heard of this until one of the FUCUPS mentioned it. I have to say reading between the lines don’t feel inspired to either, unless someone can convince ms otherwise.
I finally made it through episode 1.
I too will watch a few more.
Beth cannot act.
I like Josef.
Vampire eyes are not sexy, AOL.
Oh yeah. LOVED josef — including the weird way Alex O says his name with his lisp and accent. “Joesiff.”
So the actress Beth. She dates Crypt Keepers in real life. Someone needs to do a study.
I hated Josef for the first epi or two. By the end I loved him hard! Tough not with my thighs..like Mick.
Actually, I must admit that my thighs would welcome Joe-szifv any day. He’s got man meat too.
Thank you Westy for not making me feel as though the only reason I hated Beth was because she got to kiss Mick (it may have been ONE of the reasons I hated her tho.)
I think I hated her because she didn’t kiss him ENOUGH! Stupid b.tch..
HEHehehehehehehahahahAH!!
Goodness gracious you Moonys are HARD CORE.
What amazes me is that you #FUCUPS 1) have nothing sardonic to say and 2) write dissertations (which I love, by the way) about the wonder that is Moonlight.
I only watched the first episode.
I will keep watching in order.
One of my best friends, Natasha, is a Moony. Apparently, years back I watched an episode with her because she didn’t want to go out while this fkn show was on!!!! I made fun. I laughed. Mostly at his sniffing and belt buckle.
She wasn’t very friendly after that.
THAT SAID, that this sl.tpile loves Sardonic *and* Moony means aces for the show. I will toooootally keep watching the show.
Hey all; Find me as Sardonic here: http://h50sardonic.com
“you can actually feel his loneliness, his shame (undeserved as it is) for what he is, his resolve to rise about being a vampire and to do good and his anger and resignation when he must fall back on the exact vampire tendencies he hates ” that was beautiful and so well put! Exactly why I fell in despite myself.
I am going to start Sardonic-ing you two.
You have been forewarned.
Uh oh….I think we’re in trouble! LOL Take it easy on me M. I’m fairly new here! LOL
Isn’t it funny the difference in the comments between H50 and Moonlight? I’m sure the sardonicism will start to flow soon
There used to be some very funny, irreverent but affectionate recaps of ML, but they disappeared. That reviewer didn’t like it at first either and then fell for it after a few more eps
Right?! It’s amazing how genteel the #FUCUPs have suddenly turned. Like this Mick St John has some sort of lulling power over them. Creepy!
LOl! You’re so right! I want to be as.mashed by both..but in totally different ways. Does that make sense? HA!
No! No it doesn’t! What has happened to you lot?!
OH, OK, I’ll start it.
The sniffing. Seriously? I am so glad that they toned that down by the later episodes because that was…. creepy. Like he was sniffing for poontang or something.
I am at 20:46 into the first episode.
Not loving it yet.
Don’t h8!
Yes. Has he sniffed yet?
Not a big fan of the sniffing. Or the hair. Or the vamp eyes. Or Beth.
Ur.
The Vamp Eyes are total pantie crushers for me. Like CRAZY hot.
The fangs.. unnnff! When he bares the fangs..oh so slyly (like not in an attacking way, just in a “I could kill you in a second” type way) is totaly panty destroyer. Epi 15..scene on the bench with baddie. So subtle but totally destroyed me. DESTROYED ME! Panties had already given up, packed their bags and left.
Just exasperated were your panties, eh?!
They’re sitting next to mine (also with bags packed) staring at me. Imploring me with their large saucer-eyes and hands in their laps: “Take Me To Hawaii, You Koala.”
I see distraught panties.
So much better than: “I see dead people.” Shamalamalamalaman has nothing on me.
The sniffing was killer!
KILLER.
My laugh got louder with every sniff. Though, I have to admit that he made it look alright.
I can NOT imagine being told to sniff and not laugh my ass off. He did good.
I hope they ask McG to sniff.
Do you think this is where he learnt the art of nostril flaring??
OMG!!!
YESSSSSS!!!
I am sure everyone has moments when some thing happens at work and you go really, this is my job? REALLY? This is the profession I have chosen for myself??? I think that sniffing was AOL.
Just sayin’. No H8.
I just watched episodes 2 + 3. Will comment later.
But yes. The sniffing must have been an epic moment. I imagine he had his best friend tape him in different sniffing modes to see which one was least fkn stupid looking.
Hysterical! Yes! I can totally see AOL going “holy hell. Sniffing? Really, mate?”
Between the sniffing, the as.mashing, the biting, Josef & Mick’s banerting….I can only imagine what the blooper reels from this show would have been like.. what a waste they were never released!
How could you not be a good sniffer with a nose like that? True.story. (Not necessarily a compliment)
This is why — gorgeous man that he is — he sometimes looks like he’s about to quack rather than speak.
Take adrian brody and push down on the top of his head til u squash off about 4″ in height….slap 10 lbs on him and its AOL!
But you’ve only seen one episode!!! Will you know what we are talking about if we’re bringing up stuff you’ve never seen? And I’m afraid it will make you even more resistant to watching the show and giving it a fair chance if we go all sardonic on it. You’re already going into it with a jaundiced eye. You should watch it FIRST, give it a fair shot, then fire away. I adore Moonlight but I’ll be the first to say there are plenty of things in there to make our M. happy to sardonic all over it LOL !!!
Alright. For the love of God!
I will watch as many shows as possible in the next couple of days, of this fkn show.
Like a bandaid, I will rip this sh!t off so we can Sardonic.
I will start tonight — I should be able to get 2 episodes in before I head out.
Finally !
Look, the sniffing and head cocking are FKN AWESOME (sardonically speaking),
Get past the hair, we have all had bad hair days, bad hair weeks and YES bad hair years. This was his bad year hair. I hate it!
But damn his voice is what made my panties giggle!
M, you should really watch all 16, for the pure pleasure of AOL.
I.Am.done.for.now
As bad as the hair is, I think it balanced out his weight. He would have looked strange at that weight with short hair. Though can I just say that man filled out a pair of jeans like a mthr fkr in this serious! HOLY SH.T!!!!!!!!!!!
I hardly notice the hair because I can’t take my eyes off his ass. For realz.
Also, M are you loving the glimpses of chest hair?? Honest to goodness chest hair? *sigh*
Yes. His bottom here is *far* better than H50. @Plenkov WHAT’S UP?!
And his chest hair. Again. We need a little more.
Two words explains why his a$$ is not good in H50 – Cargo Pants.
For the love of god, put McG in tight fitting jeans, or nothing at all !
Or the suit pants! I am thinking the suit epi in S2 may be an all time fave. And I haven’t even seen it yet.
true.story.
My Five-O friends all follow the same group on Facebook so we all saw the suit pictures about the same time. I got more than one text that read “did the new Governor give them a new dress standard PLEASE GOVERNOR GIVE THEM A NEW DRESS STANDARD.” Then came the text msgs a few days later, “oh the cargo pants are back.” I am happy because he ditched the shirt and I get to stare at his arms….
Moobies freak me out. Dear Mick, buy a shirt the next size up. Thank you.
I will never fall out of love with the cargo pants.
And dear Mick, listen to Gracie.
Us Aussie’s gotta stick together. I like the cargo pants too.
I too am a v v big fan of the cargo pants.
Awww, I’m not hating the cargo pants, I just thought the jeans showed off his bottom better.
No worries.
Fair enough! I always told my daughter growing up that she wasn’t allowed to tell me she didn’t like something on her plate if she’s hadn’t tried it and given it a fair chance. If, after that, she still didn’t like it, fine, not a problem! That’s all I’m asking. If you don’t like it…that’s fine…no h8! It’s not everyone’ cup of tea.
As for me…I’ve got a free afternoon so I’m going to torture my brain but feast my eyes on The Backup Plan! No thinking necessary…just lots of eye candy! LOL
The only thing worth watching is when he passes out in the doc’s office + when he is on a tractor. Doing what? Who cares!
Dearest Linda,
Thank you for mothering me. (I am not being Sardonic; I sort of love that you are engaging me at same level as your seed.)
xxo
M
ROFLMAO….anytime babe!!
I am wondering about the moonlight fans enthusiasm still over this show! It´s been over for years and yet new youtube videos are made and oohs and aahs are heard when mick appears on screen. I did watch every episode, because it was a bit different from other vampires stories, and I liked the private detective parts. As for the sniffing, Alex sure has the most refined nose for that
. I enjoy his interviews when he takes a deep breath through this “marvellous” pipeing, it makes me want to go AAAAAAAH! 
I wish they had made a second season, the story never finished…
I received a creepy email from someone who insisted I was some sort of a degenerate for not liking the show.
In a fit of hysteria, they all capped how THE SHOW WILL BE A MOVIE AND ALEX WILL BE IN IT.
Amazing.
Wowsers!
And conveniently left out THE MOVIE WILL SUCK POETICALLY
And I don’t mean vamp-suck
Aaaaaaaaaah you totally went there.
Honestly, mate, I read this individual’s tweets + want to take a cleaver to my wrists.
You should DM me please as to twitter identity.
This video was made back in 2007 and it’s really a hoot but it’s supposed to tell you why women love Moonlight so much. Take it for what it is.. I think it’s cute but then I love Mick St. John! LOL
Jesus H Christ. My panties just jumped out the door but don’t know where the FK to go because this is not McG.
They are v sad.
This video is really well done. If I send this person a whole bunch of me pics, do you think they’ll make a video of me too???? So exciting.
P.S. Linda — I’ve asked the girls to link to the videos rather than embed them here. When you go to the video itself, there’s a “share” button beneath the video itself. Click it and then you will find the url, rather than the vid itself
Have already edited yours xxo
No problem…thanks for taking care of that! Didn’t know!
No worries!!
I think I may have to take a break and ….compose myself after that. BRB.
Holy smoke and bullwinkle. I think the opposite of sardonisism is happening right now because ALL I want to do is rewatch ML.
I am addicted to this person’s videos and I am going to watch ALL of them! This one is about Moony a.smashing. Why is he so angry at the book? http://youtu.be/p5YhVVD3wwo
You see?!?!? THAT’S why you have to watch the episodes. If you had, you’d KNOW why he’s pissed at the book! ROFL
MAHA – You know, I was going to ask for a Moonlight pg on Wed. & you know why I didn’t????? Because I didn’t think THERE WAS A FKING SNOWBALLS CHANCE IN HELL I’D GET IT!! (My back is bleeding again.)
That said, thank you very much. I’m beyond thrilled. And I’m very excited that you have NOW decided to watch more eps. If nothing else, I just know you are going to love the sarcastic humor, Mick’s emotional expressions/eye sexing and the bromance between Mick & Josef. But then, you remember me telling you all this last May…when this conversation first started. (Oh, bloody Hell, where did I put those band-aids.) LOL GrannyMo
As an honorary FUCUP, I must tell you I loved Moonlight. Couldn’t get enough of it. Loved Alex’s sexy portrayal of a vampire. Best vamp ever! Loved his hair long, his beefy body, and best of all those smoldering eyes. I’d be his Freshie any time of the day or night. #AlwaysAFreshie
A Freshie Is this like some sort of a drink? For whom Moony removes his pants?
Because: Yes, please. I too am a Freshie.
You will find out what a Freshie is. Patience.
Unfortunately it does not involve pants removal. Boo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grPlrtDIXdw
Alex first came to my attention in Moonlight. love the tortured romantic aspect and the Vamp badassed-ness. (is that a word??) . I think you gotta watch ‘em all to get the full effect. oh and I love Josef.
That being said, McG makes my panties giggle ALOT!
Look at you girls tripping over yourselves to come out of the Moony Sardonic closet into fresh air.
Honestly, I thought he was about to pull out The FOY at the 1.48 mark. Damn it.
I love these fan videos and really am serious that I wish someone would make one of me. Where do I apply?
If I knew how, I would make one of you. For realz.
You are so awesome! I would make several mini videos of me which you could then compile:
– my entering washroom
– and exiting
– my standing in line at supermarket
– my parallel parking
– my “recaping”
– my “talking on the phone”
– my “falling asleep”
And
– sniffing, obvi!
We would have so much fun.
You must wear shirt with upturned collar and v v bad hair.
Else I will not do it.
And we must choose an appropriate song…something by Spice Girls or Bangles, because you are so bouncy!
1) I shall feather my hair, with middle part.
2) We won’t just use their soundtrack, I will SING it!! Really really want what ya really really want. I wanna I wanna I wanna ziga ziga ziga ziga ziga ziga zag.
Did I say bouncy? I meant LOUD…uh..TALL.
LOOOOUUUUDDDD.
6’3″ w/out heels.
Ah, that video reminded me what I do like about ML – the Moonlight Meat! That bod was Just. Fine. Thankyouvermuch. before The Back-Up Plans people got their hands on it. In my humble, lustful female opinion. Alex! Call me! I will let you have dessert and cook with oil again!
And I will make him do bedroom aerobics after he has eaten all Rainy’s forbidden foods. I do not want to see ‘Feed 2 – How the Tables were Turned ‘ in AOL’s future.
“‘Feed 2 – How the Tables were Turned ‘ in AOL’s future.”
Westy, mate, you crack me up. Am I allowed to watch this future Feed 2???? Or am I shielding my eyes from that also?
Well, let’s see…do you really want to see AOL as a 600lb man being force fed by some skinny blonde chick with bad hair and tats?
Eh, maybe in a few years you will be permitted to watch it, Gracie. I fear Jayne’s teaspoon information has already set you on the path to ruin, anyway.
Yeahhhh maybe not lol (heck no!) That’d be 2 movies of AOL I’d never need to see. You can all be more mature than me and watch it and converse with M. I’ll stick with Moonlight.
As for Jayne and her comments, I too now have random followers on Twitter.
Hey, I’m not a skinny blonde chick with bad hair and tats! J/K. No, I’m really not .. . gah, you know what I mean
Normal food does not = Feed 2! Sheesh!!!!! Must now go wash my brain of Feed 2 images. All I want is something I can pinch and/or hang onto when the going gets rough …
Ok, you’re hair isn’t that bad
You won’t be able to see The FOY. Don’t bother.
Junk
In
The
Trunk
is AOL as Moony. I loves it.
http://youtu.be/7dRmy4h_IXQ Watch this and tell me you don’t like Mick or Moonlight still. OMG!
For sure…this is an exquisite video. Apart from the hair, sniffing and belts, I am all over The FOY here too.
and I love these interviews…the reporter is HORRIBLE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
I have bookmarked to watch at a later date! Thank you for sharing, love — and no worries about accidentally embedding…it’s already been changed
That first video…I’m pretty sure those two boys were taking the p.ss out of that interviewer. They were troopers, though…she sucked big.time.
“I wouldn’t touch your t.sticles”
I just watched the second one…they most certainly were mocking her!
I should interview AOL.
Imagine. Just fkn imagine.
If the Brad Blanks interview is any indication, he wouldn’t get a word in edge wise.
I will come and be your producer and tell you what to say. And we will have a better microphone because that was one badly planned interview. Except the guys made it hi-larious.
I think I am developing a crush on Joesiff. He’s so sweet.
“Joesiff” is precisely how he shall be credited henceforth. I am updating my page above, and also adding Koala to the Sardictionary.
Those 2 together in these interviews was EPIC! “I think you said you loved me but didn’t realize you used your outside voice”. HEH. And the apology poem? I died.
Alex makes me die alot. damn him for being so genuine/funny/hot/sexy.
F.ck you lot. Am I going to have to watch this video? There’s a poem? Please tell me Alex wrote it and it’s about touching te.ticles (as mentioned above…or below…I dunno where I am).
If it is. I will watch this fkn interview as soon as I am home tonight.
Yes, Alex wrote the poem as an aplogy for touching Jason’s t.sticles. AKA..the Dickie Flickie. The poem itself isnt epic but still hilar. Plus the fact he wrote one. Obvi.
I want Jason Doerhing to do all Alex’s interviews. Their onscreen bromance does’nt even begin to match their offscreen bromance.
I will watch this today.
Dickie Flickie should be a character of H50.
Oh yes, this was epic.
WHAT!?
Omg, to whom do I propose? S/he who uttered such a wondrous line? Mooney or Josef or the interviewess?!
AOL said he wouldn’t touch her t.sticles *giggle*
LOL!!!!
Oh. Wow.
You know what I think? I think he would, beyond a shadow of any doubt, be both an Honourary #FUCUP, as well as an extreme enjoyer of both all Sardonic recaps and adjacent commentary.
Agree? DISAGREE?
Absolutely agree. He sounds like he has a typical Aussie guy sense of humour. Can laugh at himself.
Absolutley agreed. After he came out of hiding.
Alex, is that you?
Agree! Because the alternative is he runs away in fear and that’s just not cool.
This FUCUP totally agrees – a very healthy sense of humor on our boy there.
Why wouldn’t they have cut out the bits of the producer talking to the interviewer? It was weird and distracting and made me not want to watch the second bit.
The interview was pretty funny though, especially when Jason took over. I forget AOL can be so funny. Also, he so sleeps less than I do and that’s saying something. Also they airbrush him? Jeez Hollywood get a grip.
Also, slight fail AOL for you did not shout back “Oi, Oi, Oi,” to the person who said “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.”
The best part wast when JAson took over. The billboard discussion at the end was brilliant. “how sad were you that I wasn’t on the billboard with you?”
‘Also, slight fail AOL for you did not shout back “Oi, Oi, Oi,” to the person who said “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.”’
Clearly, he has already been deported to Hawaii for this. Where, after our previous unpatriotic rendition of the Oz national anthem which mentions FOY, we shall soon be joining him
AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE, FOY! FOY! FOY!
He’d only had 2 hrs sleep. Hearing “Aussie Aussie Aussie”, He probably thought he was dreaming. Or else thought his name was Dorothy and he was in his trailer kicking his ruby red heels together.
“There’s no place like home…”
ooh, sorry about “embedding” the vid instead of linking.. I’m an idiot about those things.
WESTY – You must watch more than just 1 ep. You simply must.
Oh, re: TOF. I tried to rent the tape too. I waited 8 days and gave up. Just went & bought one. Well worth it too. Suggest you do the same. Wasn’t someone sending you the money (we FUCUP’s are so helpful, are we not?) for it?? You can’t lose.
PAULA: I’m a big history buff, so I just loved the stories & considering the vamps potential endless life span, you’re so right, the stories would never end. I really would have loved to had more of those tales.
You know, that sniffing thing might not be the most attractive, but having the power to smell danger before you’re in the grips of it, is really one hell of a nifty gift. I like it. GrannyMo
Yeah, I’m still waiting for Ess to cough up $11.70 (after exchange rate) so I can buy my own copy of TOF
Send me your address. For realz.
Oh, so you can stalker me??
So I can send your $11.70 silly!
Erm. I would like your addy too. That is, if you don’t mind me showing up at yours with a toothbrush, a lamp, and a pillow?
Wouldn’t that be great!
Here is another great Moonlight video. We all adore the bromance between Steve and Danny but before them there was Mick and Josef! I just love Josef!
LINDA – Thanks for the “Mick & Josef” video. Never saw this one & really enjoyed it. There were many other great moments these two brought to the screen, but this was an excellent sampling. I adored Josef too, mostly for his sarcastic wit & the way he relayed his life stories. Very good actor who I never saw before ML, but I’m a fan now. Yep, we can’t take anything away from the Steve & Danno relationship which the actors & writers have turned into one wildly entertaining, heavenly match, but whenever Mick & Joseph interacted, the actors had this sultry, charismatic & fascinating duo owning the screen. Whether they brought me to laughter, sadness or lust, I enjoyed every moment of this “vampire bromance.” G
The difference between the bromance between Josef and Mick vs McG and Danno is that Josef never made me want to down a bottle of Tums.
Sometimes Danno’s raving is just a bit too much. I hope they find a better balance in S2.
MAHA – I would dearly love to make a video of you set to beautiful music, but have no idea how to do such a thing. I somehow managed to create myself a screensaver w/all my fav. AOL pics & I was SO pleased with myself, you would have thought I was Bill Gates. (Damn computer – this is not my best era, I must say.)
You do not want to be a “Freshie.” Then again, it would be tons of fun watching you kick the a$$ of the vamp who tried to make you one.
Didn’t your Granny tell you long ago (do you never listen to me?) that we Moonies are a large & loyal group? Very large & very loyal.
You ‘ll keep watching because – “This sl.tpile loves Sardonic & Mooney” Good one M. Yes, we FUCUPs are all little sl.ts & proud of it.
BTW, it’s just my opinion here but, if after making it through Ep6 you’re still not somewhat captivated by the seductiveness of all that is Moonlight, you never will be..and we Moonies will love you still. LOL G
Granmama you are absolutely the LOVELIEST for wanting to help with the video.
As per making it through — I am now at episode 7 and actually enjoying it for what it is. Not an award winner or a hit, though I find his charm wonderful — and Beth can be funny, which is fun. It’s definitely a fun show, and I will watch it through until the end and enjoy myself.
Episode 7 !! All in one day ?? Yea ! You like it !
How does it feel to be ‘turned’.
Yea… M is a Moony. M likes Sexy Vamp Mick !
I am happy !
Love ya all !
Laurie
And it gets sooo much better after episode 7! (for the most part)
Glad you are enjoying it for what it is. That’s exactly how to enjoy it the most. Just like H50. Some people don’t ‘get it’ but that’s because they can’t enjoy it for what it is.
Maha – You interviewing AOL would be EPIC. He’g got your sense of humor going on. It would make a good lead in on “Your Video.” G
I really think we ought to petition him.
For research purposes and the video which Westy shall make of me.
#IHaveNoUlteriorMotives
I will come along to prep AOL for his mic which will need to be situated somewhere on his person in order that you get good sound quality. I will obvi. take my time to inspect ever inch of the man to ensure that the mic is in the best place. I will do so because your interview is v v important, & I love you. No need to thank me, the job in itself is thanks enough!
So. Funny.
We will bring a ladder so that you may reach.
And I shall come to remind everyone what the questions are that we want to ask, because I’m sure one look will send us into an AOL black hole. These questions will have to be written on cue cards to make us look like super efficient interviewers instead of blabbering messes.
Please, I also request an assistant. To prod me ever so gently so that while I am filming this epic interview, I am reminded that there are actually *two* people in the interview. Else M may not get any screen time at.all.
FYI, #FUCUPS need not apply, because really, how reliable are they going to be??
Lucky Gracie is not the interviewer, because her standing on tippy toes whilst AOL is going all crouching tiger to be on her level, would make for a v v awkward shot.
“Lucky Gracie is not the interviewer, because her standing on tippy toes whilst AOL is going all crouching tiger to be on her level, would make for a v v awkward shot.”
Whatevers mate. You’re just jealous because we know he <3 things that come in small packages since he gets along so well with his v short friend Scott.
Failing that, we can always get a box for me to stand on.
Whatevvvvvaaaaaah.
I am prettier than Alex, and I don’t have an overbite lisp.
Also no FOY.
Epic fail.
I have an overbite lisp.
true story.
You and McG have something in common!
Sooo jellis.
It’s to make up for your height.
Is okay, Bali.
Bring a ladder, please.
MAHA – You made it past Ep6 !! OMG, I’m doing a jig right now & jumping up and down and praising the heavens above and yelling “yes, yes, you don’t bloody hate it.” I don’t know why the Hell I’m so excited, but I am. Weird. Anyway, Esteemed leader of the FUCUP’s, you…are…a…TROOPER!!. And Granny loves you for it. Hugsies, Mo
Oh, when I calm down, I’ll get on that petition thingy to AOL. LOL
Yes, please!
Re Moony; I love the steam which comes from his bed / refrigerator chamber.
And I DIED laughing when he took Beth in for a shower. I would have a.smashed him.
That shower scene was so “sexy”, I loved Beth getting so horny all of a sudden and Mick trying to keep his emotions (=hands) under control! It was funny and sexy at the same time…
Imagine getting sl.tied up and then literally shoved into a shower? I would have at least found a way to shimmy my dress over my bottom.
Mum: This is a euphemism for “a way to read a book while in the shower.”
Confession: I saw a youtube video of this set of scenes. It’s why I broke down and finally watched. Hot. (because that’s what motivates me) such a sl.t!!
HA! Now she spills it!
I liked this scene a holy-moly lot too! I liked slutty Beth much better than regular Beth. And yet another chance for pantslessness passes us by…..
Laughter was not the sound coming out of my mouth. true.story.
JAYNE – Check with WESTY on that mic thing. She knows all about those & can give you many valuable tips.
“No need to thank me, the job in itself is thanks enough!” Too funny & how very true.
You know Granmama. Some jobs you get in life you just need to start by FEELING your way. Feeling my way around AOL may be a tough job however I will persevere!
As this will be Jayne’s first mic placement ever, I will have to check her work.
Several times.
I will also have to check thoroughly if she has placed any ‘hidden’ microphones on his person. Coz those English are sneaky b.tches!
They never say ‘thank you’ the English, so ON GUARD!
I know this place is all about you M, but is this about me? Am I supposed to have said thank you to someone? Did I forget? Whhaaattt????
No! No!
I was just throwin’ a left hook after above jab, my love
Oh, well that’s okay then. My mother would kill me if I had been bad mannered! x
ESS – Where are you??? EPIC NEWS!
MAHA is on Ep 7…and she’s going all the way!! And she doesn’t absolutely hate it either.
At sundown this evening, I shall give a toast, ah I guess to the TV screen, honoring this monumental event. I’m so excited, I must say. G
IKR!!??!! Epic!
And all the twitter girls came to play too! I LOVE IT!
HEY YA’LL!! Call Me!
Oh JAYNE….Yes, that certainly would be one HARD job. You know what they say, “practice makes perfect.” LOL G
BTW……Did you read the news???? Our Maha’s going to watch all 16 Eps of ML and she doesn’t hate it!!!! (yep,still excited!) G
Your excitement is *entirely* contagious! xx
Holy sh.t Batman! I finally got a few minutes to be online (ok, I watched 2 epis of Moonlight first) and I came here to see if anyone has posted. LOL!! Let me read the comments and see if I can dive in somewhere!!
I love you guys almost as much as I love Mick. hard.
Maha… how far along are you?!?!? You need to do a full sardonic review when you are done. And you’re not hating it!!! I’m thrilled. The others are right. Although it DID win the People’s Choice Award for best new drama that year it was never going to be a “real” award winner but it was sexy and fun and I truly wish they had made a 2nd season. Let us know what you think when you’re done all 16 episodes. And be honest. Tell us what you liked and be as sardonic as you want with it. We can take it! LOL
It might be kinda refreshing to read your sardonic take on Moonlight. Those of us that love it so devoutly sometime really NEED to hear about what we are to besotted to see for ourselves! LOL I’m sure YOU are up to the task!!
I am already doing just that, love. It’s a free-fall in the comments…where I will keep posting my running commentary
I can bear to make fun of his moobies, his hair and the sniffing. But I still prefer to leave Mick alone. He’s an beautiful, tortured, “old soul”.
PS..he had to have the large belt buckles to hold up the FOY.
Precisely what I was thinking re belt buckle; that it is in fact a harness.
Alright y’all. I have to head out for dins and a party.
Love you! xxo
PAULA: HOT shower scene for sure. (Oh, loved the layout too. These Vamps certainly had that sexy design & lighting concept down pat.) That drug certainly packed a punch. (Reminded o’l Granny of the 80′s where I do believe I ran across a few vamps myself, I think.) But I don’t believe the FUCUPs would need any such insentive to launch themselves at that man because, damn, he brought on the sex appeal to that entire scene.
Now MAHA, you know there would be no need to “shimmy your dress off,” because we all know you would have arrived at his door with only your Birthday Suit on under your coat. Naughty girl. G
“That drug certainly packed a punch. (Reminded o’l Granny of the 80′s where I do believe I ran across a few vamps myself, I think.) ”
Ahhh, the 80′s. Have we met before, Grandmama?!?
Granmama, it appears that you know me faaaaar too well.
I also wouldn’t have wasted any time having a “conversation.”
Oh, LINDA – I couldn’t take our Sardonic Queen coming down on Moonlight & Mick. I’m thrilled she doesn’t hate it because you have no idea how she “COMES DOWN” on something she hates. Although we FUCUPs have nothing but love for her, be warned, underneath that sweet, lovable, all cookies and cream & sugary exterior, she can be evil and mean and I, for one, do not want to experience such horrors launched at our beloved Moonlight.
I’m very much looking forward to her comments on the series (and she’s always honest, no matter how painful,) but my heart would break if she were to go “full out sardonic” on our beautiful Moonlight & Mick. LOL GrannyMo
Alright here’s a new comment — why does this show look budget?
Like, CBS has money so whyttf does it look cheap, and Canadian?
If I remember the story correctly CBS didn’t give Moonlight much of a budget. Then they lost, I think 3 show runners and were constantly trying to bring in a good show with limited time and resources. Alex was working like 16 hour days trying to pull it all together with who ever was in charge for a particular month. It was a very stressful situation. Then right smack in the middle of the season there was a 10 week long writers strike that cost the show, I think, 6 episodes so stories they were planning to tell never got done. They also never knew, right up to the Upfronts that May whether they were going to be renewed so they were trying to have a cliff hanger finale and an actual end at the same time. It’s a shame that it really didn’t have a chance from the beginning. It’s amazing they were able to do as well as they did.
All Noir looks budget to me…
Is that the look they were going for: noir?
Because all I am seeing in sepia.
I’m not too worried. I have found that she usually picks on the stuff that is very… um..what’s a good word?…very pick-at-able? LOL We can take it. LOL
In episode 3, when Moony gets staked, Beth puts her finger in the hole (#notaeuphemism).
UNHYGENIC.
Bghdjslirhgvghdsklwpqiyrgaaaaaaaaak!!!!
The a.smashing Moony gives the feral vamp is HOT.
“Beth puts her finger in the hole (#notaeuphemism).” – how did I miss this comment earlier? I think I just died a little trying to contain my laughter.
The as.mashing was a panty crusher for sure. Then all sad when he had to kill him. Not for the feral vamp but for Mick having to break his own moral code.
ESS – Isn’t this the bestest news ever??? Maha likes it, she really likes it!!! Well, she doesn’t hate it anyway. I knew if she could make it through ep 6, she’d carry on, because if this ep doesn’t jump-start your panties, nothing in this series will. (Although, my panties started dancing 90 seconds into the “Vamp Interview,” ..but that’s another story.)
Yeah….MOONLIGHT fans & the FUCUPs united as one.
Oh, boy, I think I’m losing it here with all this excitment. Time for a rest. LOL GrannyMo
Breathe GrannyMo.
My panties were jumpstarted when Mick and Joe-szifv were in episode two, and having a party in the 80s.
Vamp Mick was sitting low in his seat, with legs splayed (to provide comfort for The FOY).
Quite certain that were I am extra, would have launched myself at his thighs and crazy-glued my head there. For true.
You are SUCH A SL.T!
Hugsies and CALL ME!
Ok..in that scene.. 80′s Mick and Josef were having “drinks” from the two girls! That’s what a Freshie is!!! Human’s who willing let them feed from them but are not “turned”. They “drink” just enough to satisfy but not enough to kill. A freshie comes back to provide this service as needed and willingly keeps their secret.
Does the Freshie get a.smashed?
I doewaanna be a Freshie.
“Vamp Mick was sitting low in his seat, with legs splayed” – heh. I knew you wouldn’t miss this. I think the FOY had to be SCREAMING for release in those tight ass jeans!
SCREAMING!!!!
So true.
Just having angry fits at the most unexpected times.
FYI. I knew the song playing in the 80s scene is Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran.
Love from not totally ignorant about the 80s, Infant Sardonic.
I am in total disbelief!
I <3 80's music.
You’d be surprised by the amount of 80s music I have on my i-pod.
Side bar: have you heard of Rock of Ages? I saw it here and on Broadway last year. I <3 80s music also. When there was no MmmmBob and Umbrella's ella ella allas eyyyyyy.
Oh me too.
I love Duran Duran and Simon Le Bon is wicked intelligent politically.
Don’t you find it a bit ironic that the Vamps are listening to Hungry Like a WOLF!?!?!?! LOL
Entirely appropriate!
ESS: I’m trying to regulate my breathing, I really am, but my pace maker is still jumping all over the place….. just like it did the first time I saw McHotBod emerge from the ocean in those blue shorts…omg…….
*** Sidebar–After much pondering, I’ve decided I love McG’s sculpted, rock hard body w/tattoos more than the meatier Micks w/o, although both visions provide a glorious feast for the eyes ***
Way too much excitement in one afternoon. Had to watch ML late into the night in solidarity with our Leader. Of course, I made it through Ep 7-12. I’m sure she’s not that far, but you know how it is… LOL G
Oh I agree 100%. I much prefer the McG model but I do so have a large soft spot in my heart (and elsewhere) for Mick St. John!!!! I also really love that Mick actually SMILES a lot of the time. I wish Steve smiled more! It’s such a beautiful smile!
That is one thing that I totally noticed and LOVED about ML – So much more emotion and that crooked smile!
WESTY – Yes, my soul sister, I’m sure we’ve met somewhere..long ago..in another time. We are kindred spirits after all.
You and that GRACIE are a HOOT – “Aussie,Aussie,Aussie, Oi,Oi,Oi to FOY,FOY,FOY” Too funny.
KIMMER: “I liked slutty Beth much better than regular Beth.” Me too and that’s because we FUCUPs are all little s.lts. I’m beginning to think our little Kimmer liked ML a bit more than she’s led us to believe. Hummmmm ??. G
Cheers mate. I try. I try.
You’re a hoot too. You inspired me to get my Moonlight back off my lazy friend who never watched it, just so I could rewatch.
It was weird because I was doing my weights ealier while watching ML and then I was like, ‘why does my arm hurt?’….oh because I’ve been standing in front of the tv transfixed and just holding the weights without actually doing anything for the past 5 minutes….
We must all form together and figure out what it is about Moonlight that makes us so unsardonic and hypnotised.
The FOY is crushed by his tight jeans.
I am panicked.
guilty. maybe.
MAHA – You thought the show looked cheap? Really. I thought the opposite. I loved the set designs & I don’t think they looked cheap.
“I would have launched myself at his thighs & crazy glued my head there.” Too funny & expertly said…LOL…and wouldn’t we all.
“Legs splayed” I see no problem with this. (ie, see last comment)
“I wouldn’t have wasted anytime on conversation.” Ok, my little youngling, this is called “foreplay” and when you’re older & your motor a bit slower, you will understand. GrannyMo
“Your motor a bit slower”
Hilar.
Foreplay convo — sure!
Convo is.this.what.it.feeeeeeels.like.to.be.youuuuuuuu.alllllll.the.time — not so much.
Loved her dress, though.
Holly Valance’s dress was nicer though.
It was his humor & facial expressions in the beginning of the convo “I walked all the way here.” “??? ahhh..why??? Sarc humor will hook me every time. By the end of the conversation….he had me reeled in, hook, line & sinker and flopping my butt off. G
I have just finished the 9th episode, where we confirm that. No majour sardoicism, because it’s an oddly sweet show, like a small child with water on the brain (SHUT UP. All y’all.)
- I LOVE that Joe-szifv is perpetually bored.
Between him and Mick, I’m not sure who I’d bed.
- I have never had any lady wood for Shannon S. She is far too much of an eyelash actress.
3 blinks = I am sad.
4 blinks = I am seducing you.
5 blinks = I am AAAaaaaaNGRyyyyy.
- I fkn *love* that Beth went all a.smashy on Blinker and staked her ass. In the moment that Blinker came down the stairs and was all “hiiii Bethhh” blink blink blink, I would have round-house kicked her in the head.
I will watch more over the coming week or so. For the record: I do not wish for Beth + Mick to play pantsless patty-cake. They should remain platonic. NO ONE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS, pls x
“No majour sardoicism, because it’s an oddly sweet show” – Agreed.
That is all.
You should roundhouse kick her in the eyelash.
I am so thrilled that you are not H8ing Moonlight! And I agree. I LOVED when Beth staked Coraline but I do wish that shower scene would have lasted a bit longer. I don’t give a hoot about her but he would have shed his clothes sooner or later and Beth interrupted it! Bad Beth!!!
LINDA – I fell hard for Mick too. Both characters have that Killer Combo of strength + vunerability going on plus the drop dead looks, bodies to die for and a charming sense of fun & wit, but I think Mick touches us so much more because he’s brave enough to express every emotion he feels through his eyes, face, body. It works for Mick but I don’t know if it would for the McGarrett character. I do hope they try and soften him a bit in S-2 because you are so right, that smile, grin & laugh are sexy as hell. I love his voice too. No matter which character or what language he’s speaking, it just melts me. Yep, we all got it bad. LOL GrannyMo
Oh I agree it would not work for Steve the way it works for Mick because Mick is such a sensitive soul. Steve had much of his sensitivity stolen from him at an early age and what was left was trained out of him for duty. You can’t live that life wearing your heart on your sleeve. Oh, it’s there for sure, in the way he feels about his team, about Danny, about Maryann, about Gracie but I think it’s a surprise to him sometimes that he’s actually allowed to feel those feelings and THAT’S when WE see it. That sweet, sensitivity he rarely lets show.
Mick, on the other hand, does wear his heart on his sleeve. HE sees himself as a monster because he so hates what he is but he can’t hide his true nature, his human side, if you will, that is warm, and sensitive and sweet. It is impossible not to love them both Steve AND Mick! They are both so tortured in their own way.
Mick is always on verge of crying.
Either that or his contact solution is a right b.tch.
I loved the episode with Josef and Sara Whitley where Mick actually does cry when he thinks Josef is dead. Alex is sooooo good at that! I wanted to hug him too! But *I* wouldn’t have let go!
For a mo, I thought he was choking. I didn’t actually think he was about to get all soppy weepy.
And Beth just hugged him w/out trying to remove his pants?
What a lesbian!
(NO H8!)
“Noir…sepia…budgeted” Whatever. It all boils down into one Hot steamy bowl of sex..in my book. g
Oooh. Mick just became “human” or something.
- The prettiest girl on this show is Sam the Hacker. Like, she’s *gorgeous*.
- His hair is getting progressively worse, and it’s freaking me out.
- Even as Moony, he doesn’t take his pants off to sleep. What. Is. Happening?
I believe that Sam the Hacker is AOL´s true friend in “real life” too. But I think there was a cat in this episode, and any man with a cat will get my unconditional love
Btw Micks longer locks went well with his long coat, I think vamps know how to dress seductively. And those sunglasses perfected his look…jummy!
As for his sleeping, he was supposed to be naked in the coffin! that´s why the lighting was dimmed, to keep us girlies from passing out! seeing his FOY might take the weakest ones to an early grave…
In the episode where Josef wakes Mick up to tell him he wants him to find Lola the first thing he does is throw Mick a towel so he can cover himself. Damn towel!!! Josef…we need to talk babe!!
You see I just love Mick’s hair and I think it’s because when I first met my husband his hair was very much like Mick’s only a bit thicker. Now my hubby has a buzz cut which looks MUCH better on his but I DO miss running my fingers through all that hair!!!
I am usually a real sucker for long hair. I just agree that it isn’t thick enough for him to wear it *this* long.
Someone sent me a black + white photo of him with longish hair (he’s looking directly into the cam, with one hand under his chin or something) and he is a sexy fkn beast in that pic. The hair there was ideal length.
Taylor Kitsch’s hair is just awesome.
That’s because his mummy won’t let him cut it.
He is such a sexy beast – don’t care that his mum drives him to work still.
I think that’s his pic on IMDB? He looks like an irish rogue in that pic.
Maybe — he also has scruff and is wearing a big watch. He’s *almost* as pretty as I in the photo.
Yup – that’s the one. An Irish Rogue w/big watch. #notaeuphamism
It’s gorge.
I simply scratch my head at the pics you think are hot vs not. LOL!
PS..I love this pic too.
This black + white is v v pretty!
Mick St John just said, “if I didn’t become a vampire I would have missed out on the internet, tiv-o, World of Warcraft and GPS.”
World of Warcraft? Mick St John is a geek! In between solving cases he kills elves, or whatever it is that happens in WoW. I <3 geeky Mick.
I so totally thought of you when I heard that
Just for the record. I have not ever ever EVER played WoW. No H8 btw.
LINDA: Ditto, Ditto, Ditto. My thoughts exactly. G
GRACIE – I inspired you to re-watch ML ? OMG, I’m so pleased & my head has just doubled in size. And I’m so happy our Mama is watching too (well not because of me, but she’s finally watching). My job here is done!
Oh, that would be fun & interesting for us to post the reasons for our “Moonlight Madness.” I like it. We must wait until Maha completes her Moony ride tho, because you know how she is. I’m really glad she doesn’t hate it, because those comments would not have been pretty. She’s such a trooper, that one.
I hear ya on the exercize thng. Done something very similar.
LOL GrannyMo
Maha is a trooper, that’s for sure! That’s why we love her..Hard!
I just watched the 3rd to last episode — where Mooney is a bodyguard and he and Beth have a “date”.
– Beth’s hair has gone to the dogs. It looks like she has the most budget extensions.
– While at the resto, Mooney was eyes.xing Beth and I had to fight my panties for a better view of the screen.
– Mooney pushed Beth out of the way when a car came to run him over. He didn’t nudge or gently usher he; he literally shoved her onto her face on the ground. I haven’t laughed this hard in ages!!
– These two fkn losers have a sleep over; she on his couch and he in his freezer?? DYING!! I would have scrambled into the freezer and risked losing a breast to hypothermia.
True story.
I’ll aim to watch episode 15 tomorrow xx
I totally would have forfeited a nip for the pleasure of being in meat locker w/vamp.
Ameen.
Sophia Myles had really thin hair and all the styling over the first 12 episodes did a lot of damage to her hair. When they were out off work for like 10 weeks because of the writer’s strike she cut all her hair real short because it was so damaged. When the show resumed (the episode where Mick is walking on the beach) she had hair extensions. Every episode from that point on Beth’s hair looks different like they were trying different extensions to try to get it right. They never did!
Tierney Taylor, the celeb Mick is protecting in “Click” is Payton List. She played the wife of the newlywed couple in the H50 with the serial killer going after newlywed’s on their honeymoons
Oh yeah…I would have been in that freezer quicker than …. well, just really quick!!! LOL
Tierney Taylor is the awkward HUGSIES!
Well, we can now confirm these two didn’t get horizontal.
Poor Sophia Myles’ hairS.
I just watched Mooney hit the beach in his v v tight jeans, boots + undone shirt. And then he saw a box of donuts and LITERALLY turned into a four year old boy.
Have decided to dress up as a donut and fly down to Hawaii.
I’ll be the hole.
Donut! you s!uts..
Hah!!
P.S. The new D.A’s lips are freaking me out. He needs chapstick and less make-up.
And less lip collagen. Starting to look like Lisa Rinna pre-lip-o-suction
This thread is so off the chain, and I am so behind, I am going to need, like 15 years to get through it all, but this makes me so happy because I love Moonlight, (see: my novella on another thread lost in time) and I wanted to be able to talk to SOMEONE about it, and I am so over the MOON that Maha is watching all the epis – JUMPY CLAPS!! – that I must write one huge breathless run-on sentence, kthanxbye!!
Ok. I just finished tonight’s episode where Joe-szifv turned Mick back.
1) I am some kind of seriously demented sick fk because when Mick sat up after being turned, opened his eyes and FACE up as a Vamp? Holy panty giggles!!!! Like, more than *any* experiences at H50.
He makes a terrifying monster.
2) Mick + Joe-szifv a.smashing the other vamps?
Epic.
Absolutely + uncompromising show of EPIC proportion. I watched several times.
3) Best sardonic moment was at end of the episode when post kiss with Beth (lame!), it looks like the harness people caught AOL off-guard and pulled him across the “roof”.
I am laughing so hard it hurts.
His jeans are far too tight and The FOY must have been suicidal.
Oh M. I can not tell you how happy I am that you’re enjoying Moonlight! See, child, that broccoli on your plate wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be eh?
You are so right about that harness! It looked like they were going to rip him apart! Not a cool move at all. They could have done it so much better if they had just swept around him with the cameras. Oh well.
There was a story that after the “re-turning” scene Jason Dohing had to retire to his trailer for a while because it was such an emotional scene and Alex himself has said that the “my Beth” line was an ad-lib that he was so caught up in the moment it just came out and they kept it in.
I LOVE the tight jeans. Accentuates ALL the positives! Adore the cargo pants but they leave more to the imagination than the jeans! Also loved the kiss on the roof, nice and long but how on earth do these people kiss with their mouths shut so tight?!?!? Such a waste!
Broccoli’s almost as good as the scotch, ma!
“My Beth”? Didn’t catch that; shall rewatch tonight this part to pick this up!
It right before Josef turns him back. Mick yells at Josef “LISTEN TO ME!!!” then softer says “he has Beth..he has my Beth…please brother”. Man…I HAVE to pull out my DVDs and watch again!!!
I remember that he said, “my Beth.” My memory is shocking so the fact I remember speaks volumes.
I am lame; I totally missed this.
Waiting for McG to remove his pants.
Here is the link to the scene!
And today was going to be the day I posted something intelligent in this thread. Instead I say. I’m dying! Thanks Linda.
Sidebar: Mick growling = second moment AOL went, really? This is the career I’ve chosen for myself? REALLY?!
LOL! Yes!
What also really got to me was the tear that escaped his eye as he was laying there. Like even then he was so sad to be giving up being human but he did what he had to do to save “his Beth”. A really great scene and both Alex and Jason just ROCKED!
Just noticed the tear prior to your comment – great touch.
Linda, your love for this show is killing me.
When I saw the tear, I wondered how I missed the yawn!
ROFL
Ooh I see I see!!
Lovely. I like the grunting noise he made when Joe-szifv clamped down. My panties are off for a lie-down; they are exhausted.
Heheheheh…so glad Moonlight is giving your panties a workout!!! LOL
The kissing scene on the roof – a smidge violent – yum. I soo wished to have just a bit more lighting.
M – I laughed at your “caught AOL off-guard” – he looked a bit like “WHOA!” and recovered in time to land. Luckily he had the FOY for ballast.
And the poor FOY def. had indentations on it after it was freed from the jean prison. Ouchies!
Violent?! What?
I didn’t catch any of that!! Wtf am I missing?!
Well, not violent-violent, just a lot of pulling and tugging,etc…. added to the hotness factor.
“…a lot of pulling and tugging” — that would be the harness, sadly.
LOL. oh, just, LOL.
Maybe she was trying to help him, uh, reposition, I dunno.
I wish to become a harness technician.
I have just abandoned epi 7 and switched to episode 13…
1. when he turned back into Vamp…MickPanty Destroyer extraordinaire!! and the hissing, growling or whatever?? v v v v v v hot.
I rewatched this part several times.
2. The vamp as.mashing was epic. McG is rarely this emotionally involved. Mick was saving his woman. v v v v hot
3. I liked this kiss, not because of the kiss itself but because there was emotion there. I felt it. Brought out the romantic in me. which is v v lame. but I don’t mind that Moonlight brings out the lame romantic in me. That’s the beauty of it.
I don’t know either — is it growling or hissing? It sort of sounds like a dog, so growling? And then a cat? So hissing?
I really like Joe-siff and Mick as an as.mashing duo! When Mick kicked down the door at the lab and Joe-siff came in behind him all ‘It is so ON B.TCHES!” He had my boys back and I loved it!
I would have gladly jumped into bed with both men at the same time. The a.smashing they gave was fkn epic.
I will keep repeating, I hope to one day learn that Alex O’Loughlin is a sissy boy in real life. I would die.
Audra CATCH UP!!
It’s sort of good that we are 16 hours behind the Aussies; they post when we sleep and vice versa.
The Brits balance sh.t out and we North Americans are random spamming.
I am SO enjoying this chat,here was me thinking I was alone in this Mick thin(,although my heart is really with McG.)I watch Moonlight while doing the ironing but clothes get burnt while staring at screen!
Scorch marks on clothes,not a trendy look no matter how much you tell sniggering friends that you saw it in Vogue*bitches*
Scottie!! Where have you beeeeeeeen?? I was just thinking of you while we were over chatting about Gerry Butler.
xxo
Scorch marks in Vogue. Brill.
AUDRA – I too jumped for joy (like for 2 minutes) when Maha wrote she would watch our ML. I’m over the moon that she actually seems to be liking it and it’s even affecting her panties so that’s a real plus.
MAHA: We Moony fans are loving you big time!! GrannyMo
Josef turning Mick back was one of my favorite scenes. The charisma of the two actors was amazing. It was not only hot as Hell, but for a short scene the actors managed to show us, in very subtle ways, so much of who those characters were. Alike, yet so different. Watching the way Josef (after throwing Mick against the wall) eyed his vein, you knew the vamp in him could have killed his best friend & for just a moment thought about it. Then he softens & begrudgingly does his friends bidding. Mick’s “My Beth” adlib was perfect along with the single symbolic tear. And Mick sacrificing what he wanted most for the woman he loves, yep, that grabbed my girly parts hard. And it’s probably because the only time the men of my past sacrificed anything they thought monumental for me was when they parted with their last French fry. GrannyMo
Oh Granmama! You looooove Mooney!!!!
Granny n Mooney
Sittin in a tree
K.I.S.S.I.N.G.
I am loving reading so many comments that are without a *hint* of Sardonic even as subtext.
Amazing, really.
Oh Maha…wait until you see the rest. It will destroy your panties completely!!!
Epi 15..I’m watching it next because.I.can’t.waaaiiittt!!!
I am watching episode 14 right NOW!!
# 15 was a total panty crusher for me. It was the nail in the coffin…pardon the pun.
“eyeing that vein” Oh. Maureen. I am not a vamp and yet I too, was eyeing the vein.
MAHA – You knew I was a Mooney, Cheeky Monkey. Remember me telling you, last May, when this conversation first started.
But what’s really amazing & wonderful is that I think YOU are becoming a Mooney too….well just a little….and I, along with all us Mooney’s, love it !!You are correct, there’s no sardonic in me for my precious Moonlight….only in my real life.
Hugsies, GrannyMo
“when this conversation first started.” hehe I like the use of quotes in every day conversations.
LINDA / ESS — Help. Who was “Sam the Hacker?” Is this the Cleaner chIck?
Sorry Granmama.. I have no idea. I don’t even remember the character and I think I just skipped over the episode.
I will see if I can find her on IMDB.
Her name is Alice Greczyn and she was in the Sleeping Beauty episode.
Thank you, IMDB.
Just realized that I also got confused who this “Sam” was, I was thinking of the guy that played a hacker, and thought You were just sardonicly calling him a her
Ps I can´t believe the amount of comments this Moonlight thread has received!
The guy who plays the male hacker; he’s AOL’s buddy in real life? Is that what someone said?
Yes, they are still friends, and there´s pics to prove it…somewhere.
Your reserve of facts are amazing! Photos, PLEASE!!
I am probably late with this but “Sam the Hacker” was the girl in Beth’s office at BuzzWire. She found the mercenary that Old Man Whitley hired to find Josef by hacking into the military’s files. She berated Mick because she knew that he was surprised that a young, pretty girl and not an over-weight guy with pimples living in his parents basement was a hacker.
The cleaner was played by, I think, 3 different actresses over the course of the shows. I don’t know if it was supposed to be 3 different cleaners or the same cleaner played by 3 different actresses because they never use her name, they just call her “the cleaner”. She’s the sexy vamp with the too red lipstick in the tight black leather jumpsuit. All she needs is a whip to make Catwomen jealous.
ESS – Which ep are u watching? I’m so confused. You were on 7, then you went to 13, now you’re popping over to 15. Why are you “speed” watching what’s up with this? What am I missing? G
M’s comments on episode 13 made me want to watch r r bad!! And I din’t want to wait another 6 episodes because that would probably take another week or so. Now I really want to watch epi15 because it’s the one that turned me into die hard Mooney.
Now it’s making me want to skip to 13 and 15 and I’m only up to episode 5! It’s the weirdest/greatest form of peer pressure. Almost as good as the peer pressure M was under to watch Moonlight.
So. Much. Peer. Pressure!!
Perfect way to put it
Do it! Do it! You can always go back. It’s not like its your first time watching.
Ohhhhh, EP15…that’s what I’m missing. I remember it well. What dreams are made of…….Damn, now I have t go watch it again.
MAHA – You’re on ep 14 ALREADY! ? MAHA’S A MOONEY!!!!
Grandmama
Yes! My email totally got spammed when I started watching the damn show. Like, a fkn avalanche of women pounding me to watch all and not just 6 or 7 episodes.
Figured I would just get it all over with. A few rainy days helped with this
Over 300 posts for this page! No wonder WordPress is staging a sit-in on us.
But you’re happy you watched, right? Or at least not mad??
No no! Definitely happy to be watching — it’s a v different show than originally imagined and his sniff-solve of crimes? I’m loving it hard.
Wouldn’t consider myself an official Mooney, though I understand the appeal through and through
Ahhhhhh success!!!!
KIMMER: How about it. Damn that scene was HOT. Can you imagine the hysteria if our McG wondered into Vamp town with all the vein action he’s got going on now. Shear pandaemonium would ensue. Yum! G
Yes – now down to 10% body fat, those veins are much more noticable now!
MAHA – “Sleeping Beauty” Episode?? Are we watching the same Moonlight? WTH. Did your IMDB fess up the EP number?
“Figured I’d just get it over with.” Yeah, that was back then. You’re like’n now, I just know you are. G
Yeah, WordPress on my end is acting up too, both yesterday and today. G
MAHA – I must admit I laughed really hard at your sardonic comments on ep14. I confess. I did.
I can’t wait for you to watch 15, cause it’s one of my v v faves. My panties really took flight during this one. i think ESS is getting her panties all a-flutter right now.
Well, this Mooney’s signing off for now. Nighty Night my little FUCUP’s.
LOL G.
Mildly spoilerish for Epi 15
*sigh*
~Hot & bothered
~Melted
~Emotionally torn
~Cried
I.love.this.epi.
As Sheila said to me one night as we were leaving the footy talking about Alex playing Aussie Rules and wearing short shorts, “you do realise you are no longer forming sentences.”
Classic FUCUP affliction. The only cure? AOL removing his pants.
Sure..like that would help me speak more better!
Haaahhahahaa!!
Alright girls.
I have just tweeted a message to Plenkov re S2 ep1. If you’re on Twitter, I’d greatly appreciate a RT, please.
Got it!
Sorted.
Just now finished watching ep 15, with only one left forever and ever and EVER, Mooneys!!
– I am officially wishing to help Alex O’Loughlin with his obvi overbite-lisp-problem-when-speaking-”American”, because he just called it song-riah, instead of sangria.
– “Leave the runaways alone, Leo.” HOLY HOTNESS.
– His hair, circa 1944 is the sh.ts. Honest to God, the Mooney Hairdressers clearly hated the actors.
– “Can’t you smell if Robert’s your son?” Holy holy sh.t. Mooney’s nose; it always knows!
– “You wantta have my bebee?”
Uhm. Fk. He is adorable.
– I really loved the ending of this episode.
Whoever said it above; the writing and story lines became progressively better as the show went on.
I’ll watch the last episode this weekend!
“Leave the runaways alone, Leo.” HOLY HOTNESS” – I wondered if anyone else thought this was hot? This scene was a total panty crusher! The sly showing of the fangs..the voice..the threat. Rawrr!
I wanted that to be his son so he could have a family. Broke my heart. And his face when he read the DNA results. Bril Alex O. Brill.
This was the most well rounded episode of the series I think. From as.mashing to heart smashing.
To utter pantie smashing.
You cried?
You are a cry baby?
You are SUCH a Moooooooney!!!
Loves it xxoxxo
I didn’t boo hoo or anything….but my eyes got a wee bit misty! Kind of like Mick’s with the bad contact solution.
Seriously, you didn’t think that was touching? I am soooo not into weepy things but that got to me! My ovaries were all aflutter trying to figure out a way to make vamp/human babies for realz.
“My ovaries were all aflutter trying to figure out a way to make vamp/human babies for realz.”
So funny
“Leave the runaways alone, Leo.” HOLY HOTNESS
Totally agree! Made my spine tingle (yes, I know..there too!)
And did you see the LOOK Mick gave Beth when she said “we haven’t even slept together yet, may not be any good.) OMG…He gave her a look like….”you know EXACTLY how good it would be!!!” I almost died right there!
Your Mooney ways are adorable!!!!
Oh come on…be honest. You guys weren’t thinking the same thing? Go back and watch again. Sophia could barely keep a straight face when Alex gave her that look.! LOL
Here is the clip. The “look” is at 2:28. Tell me he’s not saying “I’ll SHOW you how good it would be!” ROFL
WHERE is the clip?? I must see it now!
oops…sorry…I copied it…I just forgot to paste! LOL Here it is…again the LOOK is at 2:28
Actually this clip has a couple of great moments in it. Not only the LOOK but there is the moment when Josef says to Mick “unless you and Beth rewrite the rules of vampire love and procreate” just as Beth walks in the door LOL and the very touching scene at the end when Mick says “I just didn’t know how much I wanted a family until I almost had one!” So sad. I better stop now or M. will sardonic me again! ROLF I know, when it comes to this show and Mick St. John I am totally hopeless!
I see what you mean. I am beginning to love Moonlight. Poor Mick is such a tortured soul.
Shut up, Westy!!
Don’t be such a Mooooooneeeeeyyyy.
Hugsies.
“LOOK”
You are so funny.
Maybe my panties have fallen asleep, as I don’t SEE anything.
I do however loved Joe-szifv whispering “Beth’s here”. Laughed there.
“I am beginning to love Moonlight. Poor Mick is such a tortured soul.”- Exactly! Beautiful tortured soul. I want to hug him with my thighs v v much. For comforting purposes. obvi.
Mick’s bookcase wall is epic (I note books on the moon and Stonehedge). He is a World of Warcraft playing book worm. I <3 geeky Mick.
I adore that bookcase!!!! I have told my husband that when we move we absolutely MUST buy a house with a wall big enough to build that bookcase! Of course, I don’t think we’ll need the secret compartments behind the books to hid any vampire killing weapons! LOL
Because I am a nerd, I have always wanted to move into a house where one wall was a bookcase in one of the rooms. I fear now that soon it will become redunant to have a bookcase because everyone will just have one of those e-book things and no one will read books in hard copy. How sad.
Over my dead body. eBooks are only good for travel and will never *ever* replace the real deal.
I too wish for a room where three of the walls are built in bookcases. And a ladder!
Most of the major bookstores here have closed. We have independents of course. I live near none, as such have been forced into buying books online, which is what they say destroyed the industry in the first place…didn’t have anything to do with the fact we were paying sometimes twice as much for books than Americans even though our dollar is better….
When the Canadian dollar was stronger than the US, we too were still paying at least $10 more per book. It was utterly stupid!
I have no desire for an e-book reader…if I get to lazy to turn a page I will just as well get the audio version and put it on my ipod I buy my books at the library 25 cents for soft cover 50 cents for hard….and I will read anything.
I have a Nook and I love it because it is small in size and I can carry it everywhere I go and am never without a book. But I agree with M. I will never give up real books completely. There is just something very soothing about curling up in a big chair on a dark rainy day with a warm blanket, a good glass of wine and a great (real) book!!!
I do not have one of these devices. Mostly because I am cheap
when all our Borders closed my friend and I went nuts and went to about 4 different ones. I have a pile of no less than 30 books to read. 
They are stacked on my floor because I have no more space on either of my bookshelves….I’d buy a new shelf but I have no space for it (which is my way of saying I am not that cheap that I just leave things on the floor rather than invest in a shelf)
At any given time, I am usually toggling between 7 – 10. I rarely have the patience to read one straight through. I have 4 massive bookshelves double deep with books, and I still don’t think I look like I read because I give so many books away to people!
I made the decision early on to never buy books, cause of the storage problem. I just borrow plenty from the library. Instead I buy dvds, they don´t take up that much space, not that movies are better than books. Usually dissapointed when the movie does not live up to written story.
Read “One Day”
Do NOT see the film. The book is a heartcrusher; I couldn’t put it down and fell in love with the characters.
I am a slight fanatic about books, which is weird as I gave them away to people so often. On the inside cover, I write the date on which I began reading and autobiographical data most important on that date.
Throughout the books, I make notes — connecting personal memories to passages.
“Throughout the books, I make notes — connecting personal memories to passages”
You are clearly a much more deep and intelligent person than I.
You are also kinder than me, for I don’t think I’ve ever let a peson keep a book.
@ M. Wow. You def. have more books than me. I too have at least 5 on the go at any one time. Different books for different moods.
@Paula: Unfortunately I don’t live near a very good library, but I also like to keep all the books I read, especially as I buy some when travelling. When I came back from the US last year I’d filled a back pack up with books….because I am a nerd.
Bali — if you go to my personal site, and choose the “literature” category, I have often listed the books I am reading at any given time. Haven’t done that in ages, but you’ll get a sense of things for sure xx
‘Shut up, Westy!!
Don’t be such a Mooooooneeeeeyyyy.’
But I looooove Mick, even with his bad hair, ugly vamp eyes, moobies and crappy shirts.
Jesus. I didn’t know that you too had drunk the Kool-Aid!!
Listen. His eyes as Mick The Vamp are *hot*.
See, the eyes ruin it for me. Makes me think of a B grade vampire movie.
Vincent Price, CALL ME!
Well. You also like JLo, so I’m taking your opinion for what it’s worth…xxo
Jenny is da bomb, fo shizzle!
You are going to kill me with your love of Jenny From the Block.
I hated Mick´s vamp-eyes also! On the other hand, having seen Tw***ght, I quite fell for Ed***ds vamp-eyes…they were more atractive than R***rt´s own real eyes
Dearest beautiful most precious Paula!! I love you. I fkn HATE both the book and the author of said book above. Like, with a visceral and ferocious anger do I hate it. But have I mentioned that I love you? Dearly? It is for this reason I do not want the names of the books / characters on this site. But you know I LOVE you!
Dearest #FUCUPs, whom I love. If you really and truly and beyond any shadow of any doubt MUST discuss the above-mentioned “book”, please do as I have done and ** the names of all as I do not wish for the words to be picked up by search engines.
But I love you all. Especially Paula.
Xxoxxo
I actually haven´t read any of the above mentioned (or not so much mentioned) books. I only stumbled upon the first movie, ´cause I had just bought a blue-ray player and went to rent a blue-ray movie, and since the selection was sooooo tiny (about 10 or so), I chose this T****lite. But reading Your passionate hate for this writer, has now set a fire in me to read at least one of the books, if they ever come to my library.
ps I shall also borrow that nicholl´s book, it seems to be available-hurray
One Day??
I was fkn *sobbing*!!!! You will know the part. Please come back and let us know what you thought of it.
So exciting!
I thought the eyes made the show a little more campy than it had to be too. All I thought of when I saw them were “what a pain in the a.s to have to put those contacts in for a shoot, then take them out, etc……
The eyes didn’t bother me. I mean..it was a clear indication when they were vamping out. I guess it was just part of the character for me. I don’t watch many vamp shows so I don’t have much to compare to. I could take them or leave them…
Isn’t Westy the person who said just a few days ago that she hadn’t never watched Moonlight and had no desire to see it. AT ALL!?!? ROFL my oh my, how far we have come! Westy AND M. Girls..I call that success! LOL
It was the hair, Linda. (It still is!) And AOL’s ‘softer’ look. I really love the hardness (heh) of McG’s face and physique. Mick just looked too soft. But yes, AOL has again weaved his majik and has almost, but not quite, made me a MOONY.
She said “hard”. Heh.
HARDHARDHARDHARDHARDHARDHARDHARD
FOYFOYFOYFOYFOYFOYFOYFOYFOYFOY
Please. I am feeling *faint*
Oh goody. One less to line up.
Not that faint
Heh.
I am here raising my hand to say that AOL, during his Mooney times, is more attractive. He’s hot now, but I like the softer face, too. And the moobies; they’re just made for cuddles.
I can’t. I just can’t deal with the moobies!
I mean, what was he doing with himself here? He didn’t have those during any other character. Did they want him THAT soft? Maybe that was more in line with a 1950′s look?
Give me McG’s chest & abs any day! That’s just the way AOL should look to me. I can’t take Mick seriously with his shirt off. Only when he has it unbuttoned and you can see the gorg chest hair. HELLO MICK!!
TEAM MOOBIES!!
I think AOL as McG has given us high standards, so it is his own fault that we hate on his moobies.
I agree. The McG body has set an incredibly high standard. But even in TOF he didn’t have the moobies. ONLY in Moonlight. was he letting himself go here? I just don’t get it. Didn’t he see how those tight shirts made him look? Gah!!!
That said, …..everything else?? YUM!
MOOBIES!! CALL ME!!
Alex calls it “Moonlight Meat” and said that at that time he was eating pretty much anything he wanted. He’s outgrown that phase now! But, I too, love the Moonlight meat. I adore the McG body, of course, but in reality, I like a little something to hold on to. LOL
I will actually take the moobies over the rock-hard slimness (not The FOY!) of McG. For sure!
“AOL has again weved his majik”
It’s weird. This power? he has over us lol. It can only be described as magic. For me it was getting me to watch Back Up Plan. I hate rom coms and yet still found myself watching that movie and have now seen it three times!
I hate Rom Coms with a passion. I only watch when there is specific eye candy involved. LOL! However, I have to say the commercials for this one made me laugh and I wanted to see it long before I even knew who Alex was. What a pure TREAT that he was in it!! And ironically…was the best thing in the movie. True.story. Or as Grace put it…True.MAJIK!
I find myself agreeing with you Westy and as such it dawns on me….I am SUCH a Mooooneeeeeyy!
I’m not one yet!
Almost, but I’m holding out just on principle. Otherwise, in less than a week, I have gone from saying I had no interest in watching ML, to being a total devotee. The fact that I had the dvd in my hands yesterday at the store but PUT IT BACK means I have not yet turned.
Just give in Dear Westy. The water is nice over here. Let Mick turn you….
Nice call Ess.
Westy, if you don’t want to be turned, Ess and I will gladly take your place.
I’m still thinking about it, so back off, ladies
On a side note,Gerard Butler was back in Scotland recently,he ran past me while he was playing football*true story*He smells like chocolate and pine cones*Your Welcome*
He’s wonderful
I sniffed the air….hard….
MAHA – Did you make any comments on Ep 11 “Love Lasts Forever” (the one where creepy Josh gets a big boo boo?) I was sure you would have a few choice comments on this one, but I can’t find any. My girly parts, of course, hold one scene in this ep very close to heart.
And your loving Moonlight hard !! Epic!!. Hugsies to you, Granny Mo
ESS – “Sure, like that would make me speak more better.” Good one girl. G
Scottiedog – Gerard Butler “He smells like chocolate & pine cones” Really? What an odd combo…maybe he was making smores in a forest. He was awesome in the first Lara Croft flick & the 400. He’s one sexy man for sure.
Granmama — I did not.
Josh scared the sheet out of me; happy he died. Mick gives good almost crying.
Also, it is 300 (Gerry’s movie). You are adorable xxo
I wanted to punch Beth in her ugly weave when she chose Josh over Mick. Then I felt bad when Josh died. Not really. But my heart broke when Beth asked Mick to turn him and he had to refuse her because he knew the pain of being turned into “monster” amd she thought he was being selfish.
If he was pantsless she would have forgotten all about Josh. True.story.
Woopsie – Hell, there were alot of Spartans running around. I lost count. Plus all the shiney sweaty bodies were very glaring. G
Indeed!
ESS – Did you like the part when Mick went to Beth while she was having her pity party? Granny loved her Mick hard, real hard, during this scene. G
which epi was that?
ESS – Sorry, I’m sort of al over the place. The one where Josh dies. (ep11). Afterwards, Beth goes home & Mick goes to “take care” of the people responsible for killing him. Then he shows up at her house to apologize for not saving Josh. G
I love the scene in the police station where he makes the guy give up where Tejada is by going all vamp on him. The cops behind the glass can’t see it because Mick’s back it to them but the guy is just freaking out and they don’t know why. Mick even laughs a little in the middle of it. Sooo funny and soooo hot!
A pantie destroying scene for definitely!
LINDA: Thanks for the “Sam the Hacker” info. and it’s never too late with me, I’m always two steps behind everyone here. She is pretty. I thought maybe it was Josef’s “coma girlfriend.” BTW, did anyone else think that coma gf looked just like a young Geena Davis?
The “cleaner” with the red lipstick & black body suit was kinda scary. It was funny when Mick backed off from her when she hit on him….I think he was scared too. G
ESS: Yes, Mick was scary in that Leo scene (and Leo was really cree….py.) How can that man manage to be so hot and so frightening all at the same time? Is it any wonder we love this show. G
LINDA: Oh, in the car….THE LOOK! I’m with ya girl. Like I told ESS on some H50 pg, of all the sexy “I’ll rock your World” looks O’Loughlin threw at us in this series and I have a slew of favorites, this one is MY ALL TIME #1..with a bullet. That look shot straight to my heat & ricoeheted off all my girly parts. Hot Damn! G
Clearly I am missing something, because all I saw was a look that said: ‘I could really use a ham n cheese sandwich right now.’
Oh my M, is that how you refer to it these days ? You crazy canuks !
I am with Linda and Maureen on this one, it was defiantely a Rock Your World look – to me,
My heart and my panties were in a constant tug of war this entire episode. It’s almost like we were watching 2 different episodes. lol
Maha you watch the Moonlight finale yet?
Also, if you are falling in love with Moonlight and you want to read a good book, read Angel of Vengeance by Trevor Munson. It is the book that Moonlight was based on. But it is NOT Moonlight. The hero is named Mick Angel (obviously they had to change THAT name!) and he is much more Philip Marlow than Mick St. John but there are elements that were brought over into the TV show. For instance, Mick Angel is also a vampire with “rules” about women, children and innocents. Coraline is in the book but NOT the Coraline you see in Moonlight. There is no Beth because AOV is NOT a romance novel. It is a detective story. It is not War and Peace (but then I could NEVER make my way through that anyway) but it is an enjoyable read if you like detective stories and want a little taste of Moonlight thrown in.
Hia Linda — have not yet seen the finale as I have been out every evening past coupla nights. Out tonight and tomorrow as well, so aiming to catch it on Sunday
Thanks for the book rec, but I shall leave Mick inside of my telly xoxoxoxoxoxo
WESTY’S A MOONEY ** WESTY’S A MOONEY !!!!
You’ve come out of the Mooney closet and all the the lovely Mooney’s are thrilled. WESTY’S A MOONEY !!! GrannyMo
NOT YET, DAMMIT!
LOL!!
Poor Westy, THE MOOOOOOONEEEY!!
MAHA: “THE LOOK” said to you “I could really use a ham & cheese sandwich right now.” Huh..ah OK.
(ding) ORDER UP GrannyMo
for real. Happy to see all lovin for this handsome Vamp.
WESTY: I must agree, Mick’s hair styles never looked good, but EP15 was an all time low. I have two theories: l) They were trying to emulate the 40′s & early 50′s style, which, let’s face it, never looked good on anyone and 2) since vampires are supposed to be wild, uncontrollable & sensual, I think they tried to make his hair reflect this once he became one.They obviously missed the mark. It’s a safe bet that all the talent & budget in the Hair & Makeup Dept. actually just went for makeup.
We can all be thankful that Mick left the human race early on in the 50′s, before the “crew cut” came into fashion, because that look really would have been horrifying. WESTY’S A MOONEY !! Hugsies, GrannyMo
NOT YET, DAMMIT! *deja vu*
Oh, and while I’m on my soapbox here…. Sorry my little FUCUP’s…
Yes, Gee Wiz, OK already…I admit it, AOL’s nose is a little big, but I find such small imperfections sexy on men with a beautiful faces. I think it brings a level of masculinity. (What??? No one ever noticed the “honker” on Richard Gere????)
Hummmm…I wonder if men having a large nose means the same thing as having large feet & hands. GrannyMo
.
I don’t think AOL’s nose looks too big…he has a long face which balances it out.
His nose is perfect size for biting.
He does have a big nose but I can’t imagine him with a different nose. It’s like a defining feature as much as his dimpled chin and mile wide smile. I agree that it’s a strong, masculine nose but he has such gorgeous features that it doesn’t overpower him totally. It kind of makes him perfectly imperfect.
GRACIE’S A MOONEY……GRACIE’S A MOONEY !!!!!
Wait…You watched the “Backup Plan” 3 times?? Really? I watched about 4 scenes a zillion times (can you imagine a cheese farmer ever looking like that??HOT??) but you watched the WHOLE movie 3 times? You do have it bad. GRACIE’S A MOONEY & WE LOVE HER !!!! GrannyMo
Yeahhhh. I’m pretty much ready to part with it for all eternity. Watched it when I bought it in like Feb or something? Then again with a friend a couple of weeks later and then last night with my friend Sheila. But we sardonic-ed ? the whole way through so this made it ok. Her deal was she and I would watch that and then she’d watch TOF with me. She blackmail me with AOL because she loves me v much.
She is not a moooneeeeyyy. Believe me, I have tired.
Gracie: Yeah, TBUP has a few good parts, but hard to watch more than once all the way through. I wouldnt give the DVD up though because some of those AOL parts are worth reliving, again & again. Is Sheila the friend who you had to “make a case” for her watching TOF?? You must tell us what she thinks of it when she does watch & she must now because she “owes” you.
Moonlight has a strange, hypnotic appeal. Even some of the most reluctant viewers, after watching several shows, became captivated. (All I needed was 90 seconds, but I fell for O’Loughlin way B4 ML.) The short lived show created a huge fan base for AOL, which still remains loyal after 4 years. I don’t know if the actors, the show itself or the vampire thing created the allure, but if it could have hung on for 1 more year, when the vampire craze started, I’m sure it would still be on. I do think the charisma of Alex & Jason played a huge part in the shows popularity. I certainly would have loved to have seen more episodes. Oh well, we have our H50 and that’s a good thing. LOL Granny/Mo
Sheila is indeed the friend I had to make a case for. I shall head over to TOF page and report on her thoughts.
I prefer AOL on Five 0 so I guess it all worked out for the best in the end. I didn’t need several eps to get into it either, I liked it right away and then just ended up liking it more and more.
Granny… What was it that made you fall for AOL, prior to ML ? Just curious.
Btw, one scene I liked in BUP, was when he rips her too-tight dress off. Way Hot ! Watch his face seconds before the act. I think he grins and bites his bottom lip. WAY HOT, but then the dumbass falls asleep, WTF ? Preggers or not, if AOL, eva rips off my clothes, tosses me into bed and I fall asleep …. PLEASE fellow FUCUP’s. PLEASE kick the ever-livin-shit out of me.
Lame movie, fkn hot man – dammit !
Whatevvvva!
I am pushing you off the bed and taking your place!!
“Btw, one scene I liked in BUP, was when he rips her too-tight dress off.”
ALL CAPS AGREEING.
Westy: I don’t think his nose is that big either, but many do. I still would like to test out that big hands & feet theory though. Granny
WESTY: You had the most revered Moonlight DVD in your hot little hands & you let go???? Nope you’re not under the complete spell yet. I think you will be tho. Oh, BTW, do you hate me?? G
ESS: His larger nose makes him “perfectly imperfect.” What a great way to say it. Love this phrase… hard. LOL Granny.
IB: I liked that scene in BUP too. There were a few scattered in the movie, like him fainting in the Dr’s office & when she punched him the nose in the cheese barn, but of course the best scene of all was his body. O.M.G.
ML was the first time I saw AOL in anything & I couldn’t take my eyes off him. It took about 4 eps before I actually got hooked on the show itself. And I know you will find this hard to believe, but what I fell for first was his voice. It actually drew me across a room like a moth to a flame. First I saw those long eyelashes, fell hard for the grin & only then noticed the gorgeous face that everything was attached to. At this point I yelped at the TV screen, “Who the Hell is this guy?” Deal sealed..took about 90 seconds..and I’ve been smitten ever since. G
IB: I just noticed one of your comments on the BUP & it cracked me up, “lame movie, fkn hot man.” Ditto. Hey, do you think J Lo hand picked our boy for her movie, you know being then married to Mark A. and all? I’m thinking girlfriend wanted some hotness for a change. My bad? G
Final episode of
– At the beginning: Why were these two monkeys standing 20 feet apart if they were attending together?
– Omg the moobies were out in FULL EFFECT tonight in Mooney’s black long-john top.
– “I got hit in the face with a sacred ass paddle” BEST. LINE. EVAH.
– What lame f.ckery was the Mick shooting hoops scene?
I was embarrassed watching it.
– Alright.
I am so clearly not a fkn Mooney. I was laughing (hard!) as soon as Mick went back and started talking to Beth…
And then I laughed even harder when he told her he loved her.
These two should have NEVER gotten together; their sh.t was better served unrequited. Boo.
So. Uh. Really fun show! Love the moobies!! Thank you to all for forcing it upon me. I had fun fun!! Yay!! xoxoxo

– “I got hit in the face with a sacred ass paddle” BEST. LINE. EVAH.
**AGREEING IN ALL CAPS**
As for the embarrassing b-ball scenes, yes, I thought I was odd and out of place. He should have been pantlessness here, since that was the vein she usually went for
I am happy you succumbed to the peer pressure and watched all 16 for entertainment / sardonic purposes only.
it broke up a few weeks for all of us and we are now just a bit closer to McGPantyDestroyerTime!!
Here’s hoping the. wet Blue Swim Trunks make a return appearance in S2!
~~wondering if they make Kevlar jockstraps~~
It was fun to watch! Thank you all for spamming me with the request
Agreed that it broke up the summer a bit. Brill.
Kevlar jockstrap. *sigh*
G – yes, i’ved loved his American voice for sometime now. As campy as ML was, the beginning of the first ep hooked me, when he was being ‘interviewed’.
I’m not a huge fan of JLo, I really have no interest in her, but will watch her movies, depending on who her leading man is.
As for Rom Com… I like some of them. Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock … And usually liked their leading men.
“I got hit in the face with a sacred ass paddle” BEST. LINE. EVAH.
And Beth just shrugs and says “karma”. She was so pissed off at him. Beth really annoyed me sometimes. Like Guillermo said, it’s not like she was volunteering but she got so pissed at Mick when she though he was feeding on Josef’s freshie. She got annoyed at Mick several times during the last few episodes for stupid shit that she was starting to get on my nerves. In Ep15 when Mick was telling her about the affair he had with Ray’s wife after the war Beth was looking at him like he was cheating on HER and this is something that happened FORTY YEARS before she was even born! Yeah, Beth could be a bit stupid about things.
Best part about that last scene for me was the music. Gavin Rossdale “Love Remains the Same”. I LOVE that song!!!!
Laughing too hard to hear the music!
Awwww, I like Beth. I thought her reaction to the feeding was totally righteous; I too would be pissed if my moobie provider was sucking on an alternative wrist (and what wondrous sucking it was, too)!
Don’t get me wrong, I like Beth too but I just think that she sometimes got annoyed at him for stupid reasons. And I DO NOT understand why she “isn’t ready” to join his world. She doesn’t want him to feed (which he wasn’t doing anyway), she isn’t volunteering, she wonders what will happen when she starts to get old but she isn’t ready?? OMG I’d be a vampire so fast he wouldn’t have time to change his mind. I’d have Josef do it if Mick’s scruples are too high. ROFL
I have watched bits here and there, and while I like the show, I do.not.think. I will ever be a MOONY.
Take THAT, Sardonic!
(It’s the hair and the moobie shirts. Really. That’s all)
Mooney.
Am NOT!
Mooney-Linda.
You would become a vamp? For real?
I would NEVAH. I heart the taste of food far too much. Though I would engage in an a.smashing with Mick-Moobie-Vamp for research purposes alone.
If I were Beth….yeah, in a heart beat! To be young and beautiful forever. And to be with HIM forever….yeah, I think Beth is nuts!
All falls into “reasons I wanted to slap Beth” column.
I always enjoyed watching Mick & Beth in flirting & their escapades & I do believe he loved her. But I don’t think he was “in love” with her as they kept trying to imply. I think his love was more of a protective father than a lustful man. It was an odd & confusing relationship for sure.
I totally preferred the breakup ending & I think this is what the writer’s originally intended. When the show was cancelled, I think they went with the hook-up angle (really lame & boring) to placate the younger & larger fan base. A single Mick would have been a much more interesting character & would have allowed far more story lines.
The last EP was lacking, but (like Linda mentioned) considering all the on-set infighting & writer’s dilemmas & strike, it’s amazing the actors were able to pull it off this well. I just wish a second season had happened because I really wanted to see more of the Mick&Joseph bromance & all the tales. Oh, & I would have loved to see a one night stand with Mick & that “Cleaner” chick who hit on him in EP12. Now this freaky sex-a-thon would have been something to see. GrannyMo
MAHA: Thanks again for giving us Sardonic/Mooney fans a place to chat, for watching ALL (I still can’t believe it) 16 episodes & especially for not “roasting” Moonlight too bad, as I know you could easily have done. You’re the best.
I’ve had a blast discussing Moonlight & Mick with y’all and I want to give a special THANK YOU to EVERYONE for tolerating my relentless ramblings. Love you all….hard. Maureen
Love you equally!! xxo
Thanks for watching M! Glad you liked some of it. (I didn’t like all episodes either) But glad you didn’t hate it. You are a super trouper!
I <3 Mick.
Love the ass but still hate the moobies. Forevah!

“… that little line, ‘My Beth’… that was actually an improv line. ‘My Beth’ just came out of me being in the moment in the scene, living in Mick there for a moment. I don’t remember it happening, but when we were shooting I was just thinking how much I loved this woman.” — Daybreak USA, May 2008
Hi Linda – Did you like the ending they went with and did you buy a hot passionate romance going on between the two of them, enough to wind up together forever? I felt she had romantic love towards him, but I kept thinking he was confused about the type of love he felt fowards her. Maybe it’s the human/ vampire thing or maybe I’m just goofy. You understand this story really well (are you sure you weren’t part of the ML production staff?) so please share your thoughts. G
Production staff!?!? I wish! No, I’ve just watched the DVDs more than a dozen times! LOL I really fell hard for Mick!!!
Yeah, I do believe there was passion between them but I also believe the ending was written because at that point the writers didn’t know if the show was coming back. They had the “cliffhanger” element with the vampire file that was suspiciously delivered to Talbot so if the show came back there was that story to be played out. But then there was, of course, the Mick/Beth storyline. I think they wrote the ending that way so if the show was renewed the kiss with the slowly closing door would have people wondering all summer “did they or didn’t they” but if the show was canceled it was sort of an actual ending if the fans wanted to look at it that way. They are together at the END.
I think Beth’s feelings for Mick were immediate. She was attracted to him from the start but with Josh in her life and the little problem of him being a vampire, she held back. Then Josh died and she took a good hard look at her relationship with him and her feelings for Mick. She realized she would never have been able to marry Josh while she had such strong feelings for Mick.
Mick, on the other hand, was very resistant to his feelings for Beth because I think he felt it was kinda creepy to be feeling that way over the little girl he saved. He also wasn’t proud of the fact that he was actually stalking her all those years. He expected her to be angry when she found out so that proves he felt there was something wrong with the way he felt about her. He didn’t know that to her, he was her guardian angel.
In the end he realized it didn’t matter that he was a vampire, it didn’t matter that she was human, it didn’t matter that he had been watching her (or as I like to think of it..watching OVER her) all those years. All that mattered was that they loved each other. Period.
So, yeah, I liked the way it ended but, like a lot of other people, I really would have loved to see what would have come next!
Hi all.
Just a quick note re comments scheduling (mine): we’re heading out of town this weekend (Monday’s a holiday, obvi, and I’ve tagged out of tomorrow as well) and I’ll be home on Monday…though back online Tuesday.
P.S. On this page http://h50sardonic.com/2011/03/29/pilot-part-4/ we have a new #FUCUP — please pop in and welcome’em
Hi Linda: RE: The Mick & Beth ending. Something always bothered me about it & not until I read where you had said there were two story lines written, one if they got renewed, one if not, did it make sense to me. When Mick comes to Beth’s apt. and she breaks up with him, he leaves and walks down the hallway and for a split second he goes out of camera sight (I think this is where the story would have ended if the series was renewed) then a second later he pops back into camera view when he puts his head against the wall. He then decides to go back into her apt., they pledge their love & wind up together (both parts of this scene would run continually if they were not renewed.) It never made sense to me why they took him out of camera view until now. What do you think? Mo
I don’t think I said there were 2 storylines written for Mick/Beth, did I? I think I said there were 2 storylines in the finale, 1 being the vampire file sent to Talbot and 1 being the Mick/Beth ending.
I think there was only one ending written for Mick/Beth but I think it was written the way it was because they didn’t know if the show was coming back. The way it ended could have worked for both scenarios. If it was renewed there would have been a morning after in Episode 1 of the 2nd season. But it wasn’t renewed so it ended right there and we have to speculate what would have happened next.
Maybe if they knew for sure one way or the other they would have written it differently but I don’t think they had 2 separate endings.
Somewhere out here in this glorious maze of conversations, someone suggested a book called One Day. Decided to download it earlier this week and I just finished it last night. I love when a book pulls me into it’s world and I become in grossed with the characters.
Thank you to whomever made that suggestion !
Anyways, after researching it a bit further, I discovered it’s movie version has recently been released starring Anne Hatheway.
Since my not McG is working, I decided to treat myself to an afternoon matinee. I hope it doesn’t disappoint.
Thats my plans on this first day of my 3 day weekend. Hope you all enjoy yours !
TTYS !
Laurie
Oh YAY!!
I rec’d the book. I loved it so much and couldn’t put it down. Am too scared to see the film because of my extreme love for Emma, matched only by my extreme boredom every time I see Hathaway on screen.
EVERYONE should read this book. Emma + Dex are my friends. Even when Dex was a c0ckup.
Ahhh ! Dex and Em, Em and Dex !
c0ckup! Heh ! I have recommended it to co-workers, I loved, loved the story ! The movie was, most annoying, due to the time span and editing, IMO. If i hadn’t read the book,, I could have very well been lost. Has there ever been a movie made that was equal or better than the book ?
Marley and Me – loved the book, overwhelming disliked the movie.
Thanks M for One Day ! Hugsies !!
Sheila took me to see Marley and Me about two weeks after my dog died….I hate crying, let alone in public!
Hi LINDA: Maybe you did mean the Talbot & M&B as the two story lines & I just misread your meaning. I have no clue on who sent that list to Talbot. I thought maybe the Monahan vampire because she did threatened to do it, but she was locked up so she couldn’t have & I don’t think Jackson would have sent it, so I’m at a loss.
I still think two endings were written for Mick & Beth (they would part if the series was renewed, they would become a couple if the series ended) & I much preferred the breakup ending. It just made more sense to me. Mick still hadn’t figured out all the emotions he felt towards Beth. Beth wasn’t ready to be turned & she knew she wouldn’t have been able to accept or been happy living in his sometimes violent vampire world. I believe she would have walked away, even from him. No matter how good intended & gorgeous your partner is, the idea of spending “forever” with a man who does not share the same genetic & moral code as you do is a rough & scary road to travel…..unless you happen to own a flame thrower.
