Recap of Moonlight's Fated to Pretend (episode #1x13)

SPOILER ALERT! This is my little recap of thoughts from tonight's Fated to Pretend (episode #1x13). Don't read if you haven't watched it yet :)







Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo my! I am overwhelmed. Can't believe the episode is already over.

WORTH THE WAIT!

All of our Fated to Pretend spoilers were correct. However, that did not stop the surprises or enjoyment of the show!

We have all discussed Beth wearing Josh's engagement ring to his funeral, her guilt & blaming Mick. Glad they addressed those issues at the beginning of this episode. Beth apologizes to Mick, which she should. She also says what we all did.... Josh wouldn't have wanted to be turned. She tells Mick she wouldn't have accepted Josh's marriage proposal because "there is someone else... and has been for a while." Hmmmmmm.... wonder who she means *grin*

Great humor tonight..... especially from our Josef and Logan. Jason Dohring & David Blue know how to put just the right spin on their lines.

As Beth pointed out, Mick was also much happier and showing off more of his sense of humor. Alex O'Loughlin is such a talented actor. Look at how he shared with us the difference between Vampire Mick and human Mick. Even his voiceover work was different. A lesser actor would not be up to the task.

Mick admits to Josef that he is in love with Beth. Josef is completely unsurprised. But.... Mick doesn't tell Beth that he loves her.

Poor Mo! And poor Beth. Yet another person close to her dies.

Eric Winter makes his entrance as the new ADA Benjamin Talbot. He is much, much hotter than Josh. We knew he wasn't gonna like Mick. You could feel the tension in the air.

Guillermo wasn't to thrilled about being stuck with that A+ he stocks up on for Mick. Jacob Vargas had much more of a presence in tonight's episode. He made the most of it ~ "starts with a V... you used to be one"

Loved the banter between Mick and Beth. When they broke into Maureen's place.... Beth ~ "Breaking and entering was more fun when you were a Vampire." I agree with her about the "sexy Vampire jumping thing."

The Logan scenes were soooooo funny! Mick and Beth walk in with the cat.... Logan ~ "Since you brought lunch." Mick figures out the key to Mo's encription is the cat's name, Travis.... Logan ~ "We shall never speak of this again."

Josef is part of a story Mo was working on due to a charity scam. Mick ~ "Josef probably murders ever day." *grin* Then, when they confront Josef he mentions his bodies ending up in the tar pits. I like the way he handles business! Mick wants to speak to the pr man in charge of the charity. Josef ~ "remember the tar pits" hahahahaha......

Or, when Josef says it's like "role playing without the leather."

I could quote practically the entire episode. Must stop!

Mick doesn't stop stepping up to save people just because he is human.... and could die himself. Look at him on that roof with Bonnie. He finds it exhilarating! Beth has a great line there ~ "I'm not used to worrying about you like this."

Bad vamp, Dr Anders, obviously has the ability to tell blood types. Comes in handy for his little biz of selling special ones. Incredibly icky when he licks Beth. Ewwwwww! Since Mick tasted her blood before but didn't realize her rare blood type, it seems that Moonlight vamps can have different powers. That is common in most vamp lore.

I completely understand why Jason Dohring was emotional for several hours after the scene where Josef turns Mick. Very well done! Jason & Alex do amazing work together. Vamping out to show his currently human friend Mick that he can not hope to take on a Vampire. The expression Alex gave when Mick admits to himself that he has to be a vamp to save Beth was heartbreakingly perfect. Who didn't get teary eyed during that scene as Josef says he would be taking something from Mick that he had always wanted... his returned humanity. "Forgive me!" He has heard for YEARS how much Mick hates being a vamp. Yet he has to be the one to take that away from his friend. At least, Mick makes the choice himself this time. I'm sure Josef will take comfort in that. As for the actual turning..... *swoon* Sensual does not even begin to cover it! If you didn't dream of being turned before, this scene surely changed your mind. I could not breath! HOT!

Mick willingly became a Vampire this time.... to save "my Beth."

LOVED the fight scene! My action girl heart is still beating fast over that. Our first time seeing Josef vamp out and fight. Plus, Mick relishing his powers. "It is SO on!"

Even tho Talbot was blindfolded, he could still hear the hissing and fighting going on around him. He knows that Mick came to their rescue. The same Mick that he thought was dead. You know he is not going to let this go.

Our final scene! I will say it again..... Moonlight gives its fans the best last act of any television show out there! Mick and Beth still had their rooftop picnic date despite him being a vamp again. He couldn't join her in eating, but did drink the wine. I'm glad Beth stood up for herself & their possible relationship.

That kiss.... Can you imagine Mick grabbing you, spinning you around and kissing you like that?! What am I saying, of course you can *wink* How romantic and sexy!

If I were Beth, there is no way NO WAY you could have gotten me to leave Mick like that.

Beth ~ "You may have forever, but I don't."

Moonlight Secrets Revealed
Ten things you need to know about CBS' sexy vampire drama

1. Immortally-Mortal? Vampires are immortal, but they can be killed. A stake in the heart will only paralyze a vampire but fire, decapitation, or breaking a vampire’s neck will kill them.

2. Perks of the Job: Vampires have increased strength, speed, healing, and senses — their sense of smell allows them to identify the scent of other vampires.

3. Quick Snacks: A Trip to the Store: Vampires need blood to survive, however most vampires live normal everyday lives and buy their blood from private sources (blood banks, hospitals, morgues). The majority of vampires do not feed on humans.

4. SPF 500 Recommended: Vampires can be in sunlight, but the longer they are exposed, the weaker they become, eventually resulting in death.

5. True Love Is Hard to Find: It is very rare for a vampire to turn someone into a vampire. A human is only turned for some special reason, such as love. However, the transformation can fail and result in death or a coma for the human.

6. Family by Marriage: Mick’s wife, Coraline (Shannon Sossamon), turned him into a vampire against his will in 1952 at the age of 30. In doing so she also made Mick a member of her family’s royal vampire bloodline.

7. Back Before He Made It: Mick may be considered young for a vampire, but he has already lived an eventful life – including fighting in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II.

8. I Know You from Somewhere… 23 years ago Mick saved Beth Turner (Sophia Myles) from Coraline. Now Beth works with Mick to solve both vampire and human crimes alike.

9. Friends in High Places: Mick’s best friend is Josef (Jason Dohring), a 400-year-old vampire billionaire playboy who’s always there to give Mick advice, or the keys to his Ferrari.

10. Those Fleeting Moments: The Cure is a secret compound that can temporarily turn a vampire back into a human. Mick recently took The Cure, causing both he and Beth to contemplate the future of their relationship.

SPOILER ALERT ~ CBS releases more promo photos from Fated to Pretend (episode #1x13)

SPOILER ALERT.... and Major DROOL alert for Moonlight's next new episode! hahaha.....



We must have been really good kids cuz CBS has released more photos from Mick and Beth's beach scene in Fated to Pretend (episode #1x13). After all this time, we get to see our Mick enjoying the sunlight and ocean with an open shirt. *swoon* Worth the wait!

He is still wearing his lovely Fleur De Lis/Fleury Cross necklace. I hope we do get the backstory on Mick's jewelry in a future episode, as Alex mentioned.

Check out that spread of healthy food. Beth is trying to help Mick enjoy his human time.... and apparently doesn't want him to get a pot belly from fried chicken. ;)

The official CBS episode description states "Fated to Pretend--" Still "alive," Mick (right: Alex O'Loughlin.) enjoys what time he has left as a human by repairing his relationship with Beth (left: Sophia Myles), on MOONLIGHT, Friday, April 25 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

SPOILER ALERT ~ Info for Moonlight's next NEW episode ~ Fated to Pretend (#1x13)

FINALLY! It is spoiler time for the first new Moonlight episode ~ Fated to Pretend (#1x13) airing on Friday, April 25th, 2008. Getting back to our normal routine makes the return feel more real. It is wonderful to have something new to discuss! Unlike the rumored spoilers that floated around recently, this has been confirmed with several sources. Do not read if you wanna be surprised :)






SPOILER ALERT!



Maureen, Beth's editor & boss at Buzzwire, is killed not long after confiding to Beth about a hot story to chase. Benjamin Talbot, a new ADA, is in charge of her murder investigation. Of course, Mick and Beth begin their own investigation. Talbot warns them that if any evidence is tainted it would mean that Maureen's killer would walk. Beth & Mick's snooping leads them to Bonnie. She is the daughter of a local politician on the verge of being elected mayor. She is also hiding a huge, painful secret about him. Keeping this secret is tearing her up. She tries to commit suicide, but Mick comes to her rescue with an understanding ear, and some "human speed" reflexes.

Wow! My thoughts...... Poor Beth! Another person close to her is going to die. :( Mick is obviously still human in this episode. From what I read in the script, that does not stop him from putting himself in danger to help others. We knew that he would still be our big hearted Mick whether he is human or vamp :) Mick and Beth working together again! YEA! It also appears that new ADA Talbot is not fond of Mick. Hmmmm.... a little tension added to the story. As you know, the script is subject to change.

CBS announces new episodes of Moonlight beginning April 11th!!!

CBS issued a press release this morning announcing that Moonlight will return on April 11th, 2008!!!! *CHEER* We will get four new episodes (#1x13 to #1x16) beginning that Friday. No long wait until the Fall for more Mick St John, Beth Turner, Josef Konstantin, Lt Carl and the gang. How long will Mick be human? What will Beth do about that? ha! Will we see Coraline or a rescue? That is what I love about our show..... the story can go in a million different directions. The important thing is we will get Moonlight back :) I'm sooooooo excited! Keep spreading the word, my friends. We have to make sure those new episodes get big ratings, and we have plenty of promotion time. Let's be sure to also say "Thank You" to CBS :)

SyFy Portal article about Moonlight and Love Lasts Forever (episode #1x11)

Michael Hinman, at SyFy Portal, has written another great article about Moonlight! He has been a wonderful supporter of our show. :) In his online column, he discusses the ratings and expresses his opinion that Moonlight returned with its long awaited new episode ~ Love Lasts Forever (#1x11) ~ without missing a step!

Moonlight Back With A Vengeance

"Moonlight" picked right up where it left off on CBS, marking a strong return for its first episode of 2008.

The vampire show earned a 5.2 rating/9 share according to Fast National ratings from Nielsen Media Research, once again down from its "Ghost Whisperer" lead-in, but still winning the hour that contained repeats for the most part.

The last new episode to air of "Moonlight" drew a 4.9/9, and the series has remained surprisingly consistent in its ratings, fluctuating no more than 1.2 rating points between its high of 5.8/11 achieved in its series premiere to a low of 4.6/8 two weeks later. The show has never looked back, and is a little more than half a ratings point behind its all-time high.

Fast Nationals usually provide a snapshot of what Americans are watching by pulling numbers from the top urban markets that includes both live viewing and same-day timeshifted viewing. A rating point generally represents more than 1.1 million households while the share indicates the percentage of televisions turned on that was tuned to the specific program. These numbers typically shift when final ratings are issued.
