Okay, Snowflakes! It is rainy and delicious outside, I’m all set up in my comfy bed, and I am in a pretty good mood after a lovely Mothers Day that included 1. doing nothing, while B. being extremely high all day long. I’m ready to tackle this show and whatever it throws at me this week! Let’s go!
Continue readingUnfortunately, I don’t think it’s a crossover. Happy Thursday, Snowflakes! Just before we get started, I’d like to add a Content Warning. I know I don’t do this often, but this episode is one of the more misogynistic things I’ve ever seen on television, so I want you to be prepared before we got in: it’s gonna make you fucking furious.
Let’s get started!
Welcome back, Snowflakes! I actually remember this episode a little, so I’m looking forward to this one. As I recall, it is very silly, and of course includes the must-have trope for all vampire television ever: The Vampire Drinks From The Human and there are CONSEQUENCES. Let’s get started!
We open on a tight closeup of Mick’s face, eyes yellow, head all sweaty. The camera is doing this weird pulsating thing that makes it difficult to watch if your eyes or brain are weird (I have both!), and we get Mick’s signature useless voiceover about drinking blood: “What if the one thing you needed to survive is the one thing that would make life unbearable?”
Obviously, he bites Beth, and then we’re going to work back to this moment, I assume. Though somehow next thing Beth is gone and there’s just Mick, in a bathtub full of water and plastic ice cubes (like, super-obviously plastic, no one was caring on set that day), doing the Record-Scratch, “I bet you’re wondering” trope. He bets we’re wondering how he found himself “near death in no-star motel hell”. I mean, I read the summary on the DVD box, so I’m not really, but I know that’s how the meme has to go, so continue.
Continue readingAnother glorious week in a panini, my lovely little Snowflakes, and not much is going on. I am getting to be an entirely adequate baker; we’re considering starting an herb garden; I have been watching too much 80s tv. But the weather as I write this is grey and cold and lovely, and I’m in a good mood because now I’ve got Guns N Roses in my head, so let’s begin!
Continue readingHappy Thursday, Snowflakes! Like every week since March 2020, this one has not been eventful, but it was pleasant just the same. We’re working up some plans to redo our lawn this summer, which I know is only exciting to other 40-something homeowners with lawns, but it’s also the only piece of news I have, so there’s that. Let’s get started!

MOONLIGHT ran for one season in 2007-2008. It stars Alex O’Laughlin, whom you may know from his recent (very long) stint on the rebooted Hawaii 5-0 (Five-Oh? 5-Oh? Five-0? whatever, it was copaganda anyway) as our Nick Knight main vamp, Sophia Myles as his human love interest, and Shannnnnnyyynnnyynnnyyynnnn Sossamon as – I forget, honestly. His dame, maybe? Or some girl he turned? I’m like 80% sure she’s a vamp at the start, but it’s been over a decade since I watched this, and my memory is shit at the best of times, so! Oh, there’s also this dweeby little vamp guy played by Jason Dohring who was in Veronica Mars, so some of you may know him, but I never got into that one.
