(Season One, Episodes 13 & 14)

I will admit, Moonlight has steadily grown on me, especially in the last several episodes. I’m still pretty tough on it, though, because I think the premise is unoriginal, I don’t really like their vampire ‘rules,’ and I have been fairly creeped out by the romantic angle of the show. That being said, the storylines have gotten tighter, we’ve seen more of Josef (and more of Josef/Mick, which is a great relationship), and I might finally be seeing some light at the end of the Beth/Mick tunnel.

Both of this week’s stories were, in my eyes, the best yet. Another private detective story, and then a look into the interesting backstory of Josef. If this is the peak though, then I am not sure I’ll ever be sold on Moonlight as a show. I know I’ve been tough on it, and I realize that there is a lot of good about the show. If they can sustain this level of quality through the last six episodes, though, that story might change.

(Season One, Episodes 7 & 8)

Tonight’s entry marks the halfway point in my Moonlight Diary. If you’re just finding it now, I’ve listed links to the first few entries at the bottom of the page. A quick note about the picture accompanying this post. A nice shot of Coraline, or even Sheppard would be most appropriate, but the final scene of the eighth episode just jumped off the screen. Bravo to the lighting department, as this shot was absolutely beautiful.

(Season One, Episodes 5 & 6)

Admittedly, I’ve been a bit harsh regarding this show. Maybe comparing it to that other vampire detective show, set in LA, with a brooding solitary lead, who has a psycho possibly (not) dead ex-girlfriend/vampire is unfair. For that, I apologize. I have tried to watch this week’s installments with a different eye. I will warn that I’m still not feeling the whole Beth and Mick thing. Them as a potential couple just doesn’t work, and things that occurred here didn’t really go too far to change that opinion.

The second season of HBO and Alan Ball’s vampire drama True Blood premiered last night, and we were immediately thrust into another murder mystery (It also allowed me to use a ridiculously bad pun as a post title, and how can you turn down that?). Several ongoing storylines were introduced setting up the rest of the second season, as well as a few hold overs from last season.  Fans of a particular character have reason to rejoice going forward. I’m excited to see where the season is going, though with one specific exception.

I’ve been in a little bit of mourning this week, since True Blood ended its first season last Sunday. As I understand it, season one will be available on DVD May 12, 2009, with season two premiering that month, as well. You can pre-order the DVD through Amazon right now.

While I’ve been in mourning, I’ve had the theme song playing on a tape loop in my head. I decided to investigate and see what I could find out about the song.

According to this Mahalo site on True Blood music, the theme song, “Bad Things,” is a 2005 country music single from singer/songwriter Jace Everett (you can see a video of him singing the song on The Tonight Show here).

I guess it all depends on how you look at them. Our Halloween-themed posts, that is. Are they tricks, designed to possibly fool you, like Jane’s Halloween headlines I’d like to see, or Jackie’s When good characters go vampire. What do you think — did House finally really get murdered? Did the cast of The Big Bang Theory go vamp when we weren’t looking?

Maybe you just need a treat this Halloween, like many of the fictional characters in Bob’s post, Halloween treats for some deserving characters. I mean, don’t we all deserve a trip to Tahiti as much as Sarah Connor? You may or may not want to visit some of the houses that Jason did in his post, Trick-or-treating in TV town. Jack Bauer isn’t the most festive guy…
