Spoiler ~ Recap of Moonlight's 12:04 episode (#1x08)

Recap of my thoughts about Moonlight's superb "12:04" episode (#1x08) tonight.

SPOILER ALERT

Another missing scene in Sci-Fi's rebroadcast of Moonlight last night. When Mick leaves his apartment, there was a sweet little moment at the door when he tells Beth spots she & Audrey should stay away from while he is gone. I suspect the network is trimming a few minutes from the show for extra commercial time. However, every moment has a purpose so I wish they would replay the show as it was.

We are halfway through the season now. It is going by too fast.

Great revelations and developments in Mick and Beth's relationship!

No Josef :(

We learned that while Mick's wounds heal, they ache sometimes. Moonlight vamps can leave bullets in their bodies if they choose to, as long as it is not silver buckshot. However, makes it kinda hard to get through security at the airport.

I have a rule that ugly people should not be made into Vampyres. The priest, Father Garza, in tonight's episode definitely broke that rule when he turned Donovan Shepherd. Ewwwwww!

Is it wrong how much I enjoyed Mick's interrogation of Shepherd's stupid follower? :) I smiled when Beth told Audrey that Mick wanted to "talk" to him. He talked alright... with his knuckles. Hit him again! ha!

Beth comforting Audrey by discussing her own childhood trauma. Revealing that she always felt safe even though she had been kidnapped. Which we know (and she soon discovered) is all due to Mick's protection.

Did you see the look Drake's assistant gave Mick when she let him in the door? The same way we drink him in. If he is that charming and gorgeous on the TV screen, imagine what he is like in the flesh. Mmmmmmm.....

We laughed at the photos Drake had of himself with Jessica Simpson and Adam Sandler.

LOVE vamped out Mick! More please :>

Beth smelling Mick's shirt. But they are "just friends" right?! She protested again in this episode "I have a boyfriend." Uh huh! We did learn that they are having issues tho, cuz she has been "distracted." That is an understatement.

It was so cute when Mick said "Mi casa es su casa. That's Spanish for keep her out of my stuff." We knew that Beth and Audrey would have to end up staying at his place for safety. The writers needed to have Beth inside his sanctuary while he was not home. I instantly knew she would not be able to resist looking around.... especially after he specifically said to stay out of the office. And, I also knew she would find something related to her kidnapping. It was inevitable.

Mick saves Beth again! Great fight between him and Donovan. Best villain so far. That flourish of Alex's with the knife and the look on his face after dispatching Shepherd made me applaud! Perfect little touch.

I am glad that Beth was not angry with Mick for not telling that he was the one who rescued her. She knows him. She knows he would not keep it from her maliciously. When the sun began to rise and she put her hand over his to help him block its rays. Putting him in her shadow. Protecting him with her body. THEN, Beth's sweet kiss (she initiates the kissing AGAIN) on his cheek. You could tell that it meant a great deal to him. He is so lonely. It hurts.

His pain was so plain! When he tells her that she now knows why it will never work between them. Alex is an amazing actor. Showing the vulnerability Mick felt in that moment, his longing for a connection while having the control to hold back and the ~ what was it? shame? ~ at having killed the woman he loved to save Beth and then loving Beth......... Haunted! I can't even put it in words, but Alex showed it with his facial expressions. He is good!

I enjoy the relationship between Mick and Beth largely because they just talk to each other ~ like adults ~ no games. They have such an easy rapport together.

No show gives a better last moment to their fans!

Recap of Moonlight's 3rd outing on the Sci-Fi Channel

Spoiler Alert.... This is a recap for Moonlight's Dr. Feelgood episode (#1x03).

I adore this photo of Mick St John and his cool car. How would you like to glance up and see that waiting for you?!?

We learned several things in Dr. Feelgood. Moonlight vamps can eat, but the food just has no taste. In order to be turned, you must be drained to the point of death & then feed your sire's blood. If the sire does not teach the fledgling what it means to be a vamp, things can go horribly wrong. The first thing a newly turned vamp needs is to feed. There are several hundred Vampyres in Los Angeles. However, they do not have a clubhouse. *grin*


When Beth is researching Vampyres online, Josh appears with a little midnight snack. So thoughtful. Back to that vamp lore on Beth's huge computer screen.... Josh obviously notices what she is researching. Beth's new interest in blood drinkers just happens to coincide with meeting Mick. Josh is an intelligent guy. His DA instincts will kick in & you know he will investigate the man who has taken Beth's attention from him.

I know that some people have speculated as to whether or not Mick knew Coraline was a Vampire before she turned him. He makes it quite clear that he had no idea.

Again the plot parallels Mick's life. The loneliness of Gerald Stovsky, our rocket scientist vamp. The doctor being turned against his will.

Laughed out loud at Mick's annoyance with Guillermo sending him so many text messages.

Mick has never needed the Cleaner's services, which means he was discreet even back in his wild days.

Mick is so afraid that Beth will see him as a monster. Since he thinks of himself that way, he can't imagine that she does not.

"And stay in the car means?" hehehehe.....

Alex O'Loughlin has such amazing command of his expressions. Just the look on his face spoke volumes about what he was feeling when Beth exclaimed that the vamp doctor had killed his own wife.

We got another patented Mick "ouch." That always makes me chuckle.

What a heart Mick has.... He tried to reason with the rogue to get him to reconnect with his humanity. That didn't work.

They sedate their patients with some heavy duty meds cuz that lady slept through Dr. Jeff sitting on her bed, chatting and then fighting with Mick! ha!

Mick went to Beth to tell her how he became a Vampire. He chose to put his trust in her. And, he reached out to her this time... placing his hand over hers in the doorway. Great final scene, again!

Spoiler ~ Recap of Moonlight's The Mortal Cure ~ Episode #1x12

Recap of Moonlight's episode tonight ~ The Mortal Cure (episode #1x12)

NO!!!!! It can't be over this fast. I think that every week..... but..... especially this week. :(

I wrote so many spoilers this week, my recap is pretty much done already. Ha! I definitely need to watch the show again. How do they pack every episode so full?!? I can not think of any other tv series we watch that makes me feel like I got my money's worth as Moonlight does.

SPOILER ALERT!




Did you notice that the script was completely changed as to the identity of Celeste?! Now, she was the jewelry helping Josh with Beth's ring. Hmmmmm.... I wonder if they decided the episode had enough emotional drama, or just not to go down that road period. Our show dramatic enough already?! No way! *wink* Several have speculated that they wanted to use the storyline in future episodes & that it may pop back up. I'm on board with whatever they do as long as it means there are more seasons & episodes! :)

Side note ~ did anyone else think that was pretty personal service? My jeweler doesn't meet me for dinner.

Mick still tries to reach out to Beth. He is so sweet. I know she is grieving and feeling guilty because of her emotional affair with Mick, but I hated how cold she was to his attempt. "You did everything humanly possible."

Laughed when Coraline's friend, Cynthia, and Mick are sniffing each other through the hotel room door.

Josef is back ~ and he forgot his shirt! YEA! Mmmmmm.... All the boys on Moonlight are so hunky. Josef was just trying to help Mick relieve some stress by offering him a willing freshie massage. :>

Beth finally comes to Mick. How tender did he sound when he said "Come here" to her. As usual, Alex conveys so much with just two words, his expression and body language.

She doesn't know what her answer would have been to Josh asking her to marry him. Accepting that may have been what allowed her to seek out Mick.

Mick wants to be human so badly. The look of hope & excitement on his face when Coraline gives him the "cure." We knew he hated being a vamp, but that look really brought it home. Human again, if only for a brief time, after 55 years. Can't even imagine!

Jason Butler Harner was scary good as Lance. I wouldn't want to be on his bad side!

Lance's hand immediately healed when burned. As I wrote previously, I think we now know how Coraline survived the fire.

Coraline turned Mick without permission and then stole the "cure" for him ~ both brought on the family wrath. Lance is so invincible & he is the errand boy for whoever he's taking her to ~ yikes! I would not want to be Coraline. She surrendered to this scary fate in exchange for Lance not killing Mick.

While watching this, I wondered if a future episode might revolve around Mick trying to rescue Coraline.

Coraline surrendered to save Mick's life.

Mick pigging out was priceless! Exactly what I would do in his place :) FOOD!

Why is Beth wearing Josh's engagement ring? Hopefully, it was just a sign of respect. If I were her, I would return it to his family since it was his grandmother's ring.

"Are you human?" Even with the pain, it feels amazing to Mick.

Mick tells Beth Coraline is gone ~ that it is over ~ and was never meant to be. Beth says she knows what he means. Yet....

Recap of tonight's episode ~ Dr. Feelgood (#1x03)

Laughed out loud at Mick's annoyance with Guillermo sending him so many text messages.

I like the cleaner and hope we see more of her. Mick has never needed her services, which means he was discreet even back in his wild days.

Recap of Fleur De Lis ~ Episode # 1x09

We have been discussing what will or won't happen between Mick and Coraline for a long time. Fleur De Lis (episode # 1x09) lived up to the hype for me! This is my recap and thoughts now that we've watched it. If you haven't seen the episode yet, do not read any farther......

SPOILER ALERT

I was on the edge of my seat as soon as I heard Beth doing the voice over. That signaled right away that this episode was different. Beth sounded different. We have watched her changes and growth every week. Mick is changing her life.... and vice versa.

We learned that Coraline became a Vampire in the 1700's, when she was a courtesan to the French court. Her Fleur De Lis brand was given to mark her as a courtesan. A "hooker" as jealous Beth snapped.

That jealousy was on full display tonight. It fueled Beth's researching Morgan, along with hate, fear and desire for revenge. Who can blame her for wanting vengeance on the person who snatched her from the safety of home & "terrorized" her. However...... would she have ever met Mick otherwise?? Hmmmmmmmmm.....

It was Beth's idea for Mick to turn on his charm, that no girl can resist according to her (she would know *wink*), to keep Morgan busy while she snooped.

We knew that Mick was going to apologize to Morgan for the cemetary scene last week. The scene at the restaurant was great! She made him squirm. "You're buying, right?"

Shannyn is fantastic as Coraline. I know many of you do not like her ~ words like hate and evil were used often. I like her! Shannyn and Alex have great chemistry together. I would not respect Mick if he did not have feelings for the woman he married and had been on/off with for 33 years. Conflicted though they may be. Remember when the teenage vamp (Arrested Development episode #1x05) asked Mick if he had ever loved someone so much he would do anything for her. Mick closed his eyes and thought of Coraline. Then, opened them and said yes.

I have a severe shoe addiction myself so I loved Beth's shoe envy when digging around at Morgan/Coraline's loft. :)

We could have been shown generic medicine bottles to establish Morgan's humaness. Instead, they made sure we could read the label for her Naproxen perscription. Will that come up in the future? Is it part of the "cure?" A bit about Naproxen.... It is an anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medicine, often used to relieve pain ~ headaches, arthritis, backaches, menstral cramps, etc. Also, as a BLOOD thinner. Hmmm......

I knew Mick would smell Beth when he and Morgan returned to her home.

When Mick asked Morgaline what she thought his type was and she said "that would be me," I gasped out loud. She is so bold. Love the bad girls!

Josef sighting! I was happy to see that Beth went to him for answers. How great was it when everyone scattered at the snap of his fingers?!?

We learned that Josef met Coraline in New York ~ when Lincoln was president. When he said in The Ringer (episode # 1x07) that he knew her long before Mick, he really meant it.

Loved it when Mick jumped instead of using the elevator. Then, ran and leapt sky high to save Morgan. I get a thrill any time he uses his vamp powers. Yea!

Another hot shower scene! Who does not want a man to look at them the way Mick looked at Morgan/Coraline?!??!! Oooooooo my.....

Is there a permanent cure for Vampirism? Only temporary? Mick seemed like his human self ~ so hopeful ~ when he realizes that Coraline found a "cure" for what he considers a curse.

Beth's face when she saw Coraline on Mick's stairs, WEARING his shirt, wet from the shower was so hurt. After reliving the nightmare of her kidnapping which she had kept buried for years, she goes to her protector's home and thinks he has taken up with her enemy. I felt so bad for her.

My heart went out to Mick. He knows that if Coraline dies he will never find the cure. Would he actually take it? What would Moonlight be like with a human Mick?!?

How are they gonna explain Coraline's stake... er... I mean... stab wound to the hospital staff?!!!?? Accidental? Self inflicted? Ha!

Getting stabbed like that is a pretty serious wound for a human. If Coraline is dying, will Mick turn her to save her & to get the "cure" information? That would be great role reversal for him to make her a Vampire. However, unlike our Mick, Coraline enjoyed being a vamp.

I love that Moonlight gives us sooooooo much to think and speculate about with every episode!

Recap of 12:04 ~ Tonight's Episode (#1x08)

How do they do it?! Just when I think the Moonlight is at its very best, it gets better! I officially adore the writers more and more every week.

I'm still gathering my thoughts after the superb "12:04" episode (1x08) tonight. Wow! Here is what's running through my mind.....

SPOILER ALERT
