Barely adequate television actors seem somewhat akin to modern-day vampires, in that they’re often pretending to be high schoolers well into their thirties on soaps catering to the teen demographic.

That was a good read. Being familiar with the above mentioned leading vamp men, I enjoyed it very much. The only one I wasn’t familiar with was Kindred the Embraced. Not sure how I missed that one.

They should never have canceled Moonlight, it is much better than True Blood.

Although Eric is a little something different–tall, definitely, but not so much the broody conflicted sort. What he’s got is an acceptance of his vampire nature but conflict about his human emotions. He’s my favourite vampire to date, though I did like Angel and Spike back in the day.

CBS will ALWAYS be remembered as the network that let the Best Vamp get away…….Mick St John from Moonlight. They were leading the way for the surge in vampire popularity. A wonderful story-line, fantastic actors with great chemistry, mystery, action, un-requited love…..doesn’t get much better than that……oh, yes it does……..ALEX O’LOUGHLIN was the star! At least CBS was smart enough to KEEP Alex on their payroll…..now if they can just get him a show that will inspire the same passion that Moonlight did for Mick St John! Bite me PLEASE!
