Moonlight

I've spent tonight watching "Moonlight" on the Sci-Fi Network. It's a television show about a vampire private detective in LA seeking redemption for his murderous past. Sound familiar? Yeah, that's because it's the exact same plot as "Angel: The Series," the Buffy spin-off. Same film noir cinematography, worse dialog, worse editing.

This show is complete with a blond-haired, angel-faced human love interest that finds out about his vampire identity and partners with him to solve crimes.

Behold, Elizabeth Rohm, "Kate" on Angel...

And Sophia Myles, "Beth" on Moonlight.



Also interesting to note that David Greenwalt, former Buffy and Angel producer, is also involved in this show.

Funnily, this show was originally called "Twilight." Don't get me started on Twilight.

Man I hated Kate. I was kind of glad when she was killed - having her be Angel's love interest would have spun the show into too much realism.

I'm glad to see the actress is employed elsewhere though.

Sadly, Kate was not killed and she is back in the Angel: After the Fall comics.

Now of course I want to know what you think of Twilight...
