She was actually at a window in the middle of the fire I believe but yes watching them. As to how she survived it? Another mystery on top of how she became human again.

I'm liking the show more each time I watch it. I'm glad I gave it a 2nd chance.

I have watched the first 6 eps so far. I'm a bit undecided. I have to get used to that stakes and sunlight don't kill. I could accept it that sunlight doesn't kill Mick if he was way older, like in that one Anne Rice book when a vamp, I think it was Marcus or Lestat, wanted to kill himself out of pure boredom by lying in the desert all day long. Didn't work, the sun burned him terriblly but didn't kill him, cause he was too strong.
Being 85 years old is a bit young and not very impressive for a vampire.
I don't like that stakes don't kill.

I do like the lead actor. I like that they focus on the love story, because I don't really like criminal shows, so the cases are not so interesting for me with no other supernatural beings like demons being around. It's a bit like Buffy for grown ups, with Beth finding out in ep2 that Mick is a vamp (it took the Slayer way longer to figure out Angel is a vamp) and her letting Mick drink of her to save his life in ep 4. Although that really moved their relationship along I thought that was too soon, there was no chance they could reach the intensity that made that scene in season 3 of Buffy so soon in the series.

I also think the could do with a bit more humor.

Basically I'm watching the show for the love story right now. I hope they don't cancel it, because there is potential for some gripping story lines and they should get the chance to realize it.

I disagree with this review. This is the best show I have seen on TV for a very long time. Great acting, chemistry, and wit. I have gotten completely hooked on the Mick - Beth relationship that underlies each episode! Also, Alex is very YUMMY

Moonlight is my favorite show! Every episode is better than the last! I hope CBS realizes what a gem they have here and renew it for a second season! Moonlight is the only show I watch on CBS. So, if they don't renew Moonlight, they lose me, along with many other people, as viewers. The idiot who did this review, obviously doesn't know what she's talking about! ...And to compare Moonlight to Buffy and Angel... apples and oranges! I don't think she actually even watched an episode of Moonlight. At any rate, buddytv.com needs to find a new reviewer who knows what they're talking about. Just my opinion.

i completly disagree with all you sayd about moonlight ! first of all i don't know why we have to compares that show with the others wamp show! this is a new story,new show and it's not the case to think about it as a copy of something other.I know the pilot was not the best but as soon as they understood there must be changing as we really appreciated the "2nd" 1st episode which immediately show to us the big potential of the story and how much these 3 amazing actors could do for that show. Alex o'L. is so charismatic,brilliant and that role is perfect for him. he is really a star! Sophia Myles is so sweet and fun and she is perfect near that good guy, a fantastic actress. Jason Dohring has this little part but so important for the show, he is simply brilliant as he showed in veronica mars. the right actor iin the right show! i think moonlight deserve to be on air for a lot of time as the PCA win show to the world, they made a fantastic job and that show is the most brilliant show of

Nothing you sayd in your article it makes sense for me. moonlight is a new show and as all the show is getting better and bettere every episodes, yes they did some mistake in the beginning but this is completely normal. the chemistry between all the actor are amazing and they are very talented actors. an we speak about Alex o' loughlin? the right star for that show! and hat about jason dohring? great idea put him as the best friend of mick st john, he has this unbelievable sense of humor! sophia myles too is perfect for the role, the right girl for mick st john. the story is brilliant, it doesn't matter if it is the same story 1st i don't think so and 2nd every show is always the same story, it's the characters and the actors which make the difference.

I just signed up and wanted to see other's reactions. Sadly, I work Friday nights, my vcr is hard to work, and I miss half the show. Some are available to watch on-line, but not all. I need the DVD to see them all. I hope I won't have to wait too long. This is the first vampire program with 'believable' characters. Mick's situation is such a draw. Since all vampires were originally human, all were born with a 'soul', if you believe in such things. A reviewer wrote this was not the case after they change, but I can't see why not? It's a blood condition, but it does not have to change the person's basic personality. How do you define a soul?
