LOL!!! I agree, but we still need it to be a mainstream success...for the genre.

We want Joss back on tv, don't we? Might be our golden ticket!

[edit] Cast & crew changes
David Greenwalt, co-creator of Angel, joined the staff in May 2007 as showrunner and it was announced that a full-length pilot would be shot as the show changed creatively.[1]

The cast underwent a major upheaval as all of the original actors save for the male lead role of Mick St. John were re-cast in June 2007. Shannon Lucio, Rade Sherbedgia and Amber Valletta were originally cast in the roles of Beth Turner, Josef Konstantin and Coraline respectively before Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring and Shannyn Sossamon replaced them as a proper pilot for television audiences was re-shot and creative control of the show changed hands. [6] [7] [8]

Greenwalt later left the show in July 2007 citing "personal, health reasons" for his departure. Chip Johannessen took over showrunner duties in August 2007. [9] [10]

I'm not sure a pal imitation of Captain Forehead will bring Joss back, but it's still fun to watch Moonlight, if for nothing else but to compare and contrast.

And yes, Wikipedia explains it all:

Hadn't heard David Greenwalt was having health issues. Hope all is well now.

I'm personally hoping he was just disappointed w/ how awful it was and didn't know how to make it better (Joss is the professional 'script doctor' remember) and THAT'S what made him sick enough to leave

Yeah, lots of Angel reminders. But some different vampire lore too. There's nothing else on at the same time, & it doesn't suck (no pun intended). I'll keep giving it chances. (Plus, the vamp detective is hooooooooooot!)

It was so so. I'll watch it again to see how it goes. Either way it was MUCH better than the crap K*Ville. Living down here is much different than the BS they try to portray on that show.

Originally posted by ecgordon:This week was a little better than the pilot, probably more to do with Greenwalt's writing than anything else. I'll still give it a few more episodes to prove itself, but won't grieve if it doesn't make it. Never watched Forever Knight, so have no idea about the parallels there, but I see quite a bit of Angel in this show already. And that is not a good thing. If you are going to do a show in a genre that has already been tried, you have to bring something different to it to be considered on its own merits.

I'm amused at all of the comparisons to Angel as well. The show seems more a knock off of "Forever Knight" to me.

Also, the Vampires in sunlight thing is not written in concrete. Dracula walked around London during the day, after all. It just made him weaker....like it seems to do in this show. not to defend the show TOO much; it's a weak cup of tea. I'd sum the show up with one word: tepid.
