His name is Doctor Feelgood in the morning,
And taking care of business is really this man’s game.
And after one visit to Doctor Feelgood,
You understand why “Feelgood” is his name.*“Dr. Feelgood,” Aretha Franklin
*some lyrics websites say the last line is “You understand why I feel good in this pain” which is a great lyric but I listened to as many different versions of this song as I could find & I never heard those words. So. If I’m wrong, please let me know!
Episode Recap:
As Beth struggles to accept the facts she’s learned about Mick, a rogue vampire is wreaking havoc across Los Angeles, giving Beth insight into the truth about vampires, just as Mick is experiencing flashbacks of the night he was “turned” into one.
Hot Damn, summarized this episode in one sentence!
What, keep going? Ok!
As Mick & Beth investigate the homicides left in the out-of-control vampire’s wake, we learn about the vampire community’s rules, such as sires taking care of the newbie vamps they turn; who The Cleaner is, what she does and how she does it; and the importance of secrecy in the vampire’s life. Additionally, when the Cleaner & her crew drag Gerald (the neglectful sire) off from the hospital, we get a little foreshadowing of how the vampire community deals with one of their own who has endangered the group.
Burn baby burn!
This episode is also important (to me) because it marks the first appearance of the “Crystal Fire” home appliance/unconventional decor in Mick’s apartment. I have a complicated relationship with the Crystal Fire, ok?
Why is this episode called “Dr. Feelgood?” Because the newbie vamp was a doctor? That It? If anyone has an explanation or any better theories, I’d love to hear them.
The JK NineTwelve! Because there’s always more to Show!
1. Mick acting all “OH, it’s YOU! Beth what a surprise!” when he opens the door for her – after having watched her pace in the hallway on his security cam. OH MICK YOU ADORABLE GOOF.
2. Pretty Beth in the police lights. She always looks so lovely when she is thinking.
3. I love Grandpa Mick! “Guillermo you’re like a 12 year old girl with the messages…harrumph harrumph… Texting! And get off my lawn!” Ok, I may have editorialized that last bit.
4. Mick is a smitten kitten! This whole sequence of him watching her after she leaves the hospital is just so sweet.
5. This episode is a sniff-a-palooza! (you still keeping count Spursy?)
6. “What did you eat last night? And by what, I mean Who?” Sometimes Mick gets the best lines!
7. Oh there’s Grandpa over by the car trying to figure out his confounded cellular telephone… (this is my way of avoiding saying how great Alex’s legs look in jeans oh whoops I said it).
8. Mick gets to live out one of his fantasy interview questions with Beth when she asks if he can fly! And then laugh at his own joke, because he is an epic dork.
9. Mick confronts the newbie vamp at the hospital. Mick’s clothing budget must be astronomical – 3 eps, 3 ruined shirts! The scene where Beth de-stakes Mick has to be one of my favorites. So frickin hysterical, their faces!
10. Crabby Mick and his corduroy pants, soothed by Josef’s zen story.
11. Josef! I guess if you live to be 400 years old you learn some useful things. Although I love snarky, cynical Josef this calmer, wiser side of him is also very believable.
12. Awwww! Mick trusts Beth! Seems like kind of an important conversation to be standing in the hallway, but it allowed him to say what needed said & then take off. See Beth? He can fly!
So it’s this final scene that inspired me to title this discussion post “Love is a Serious Business.” It’s certainly serious for Mick (yes… most things are… but especially this). He’s been burned (heh) by love before, and his slowly growing affections for Beth are probably as frightening to him as taking on one of those pitchfork & torch-bearing mobs Josef is always going on about.
Thanks everyone for participating in the episode discussions so far, it’s going great & we’re having a lot of fun! I really appreciate you all keeping the conversation positive, enthusiastic and respectful. And in case you missed it, we’ve created the Moonlight Parking Lot a page for you to leave notes about the plot developments of future episodes so we can keep the episode discussion pages spoiler-free, yet don’t forget to discuss those things we want to discuss!
Oh! and because for some reason I don’t think the person who titled this episode had Aretha in mind…
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him an evil man
Let him introduce himself real good
He’s the only one they call “Feelgood.”“Dr. Feelgood,” Mötley Crüe

I luver you Steph!! And I luver when he sits with his knees apart….it’s like an open invitation to look.
Posted by LaHagela (The Tinkler) | June 11, 2012, 6:45 amILU2!!!!! Also he should teach a class on how to sit on a couch. 😆
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 11, 2012, 11:14 am“Let him introduce himself real good

I would let him introduce himself real good. Over. and. over.
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 7:04 amAnd I’m sure it would “Feelgoooooood.” Too bad there’s no way to test that theory.
Sorry, went to Cruefest 2 a few years ago and it was that album’s anniversary so they did the whole thing.
Posted by Lorraine Pearl | June 11, 2012, 10:14 amMe too! I’ll never get that 3 hrs of my life back…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 10:39 amYou mean you went to the concert too? If so, you sound like you didn’t enjoy it. I loved Drowning Pool and Godsmack. Plus, we were right up front in the pit with only one person between us and the stage, so it was pretty awesome. Let me tell you, Nikki Sixx looks amazing when he’s right in front of you.
Posted by Lorraine Pearl | June 11, 2012, 11:07 amI enjoyed moments of it but mostly I thought they were a hot mess. Better crowd watching than the show they put on. Anytime a band has to take 3 intermissions during a concert and they’re not doing at least a 4 hour set, they need to hang it up.
Were you one of the girls flashing on the b00b camera? 😉 I sat in the back of the arena in the cheap seats. I’m still waiting on my refund check…(and I’m a fan so honestly it pains me to say that)
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 11:13 amMick Mars doesn’t move on stage, I think they have a pole up his back to keep him upright. The man is completely hunched over and can barely walk. Trivia = by the time Dr. Feelgood came out Mick Mars was already a grandfather….and Vince Neal was a father at 15 or 16……and being an aging rock star has got to be the single biggest harsh on ever.
Posted by LaHagela (The Tinkler) | June 11, 2012, 11:19 amIf only Mick Mars had our Mick’s longevity and strength. Yes, I always say rock stars shouldn’t be allowed to age. What has happened to Axl Rose makes me sick. I used to love him, but I had to disown him. LOL. Sorry, couldn’t help it.
Posted by Lorraine Pearl | June 11, 2012, 11:26 amToo bad you didn’t enjoy it. I don’t think I would have if Nikki wouldn’t have been right in my face a good bit of the time. Oh, and you’ll never believe it, but we ended up with Tommy Lee’s half eaten hot dog when he chucked it into the audience. I wanted to sell it right away, but my friend didn’t want to part with it.
And no, definitely didn’t flash my boobs.
Posted by Lorraine Pearl | June 11, 2012, 11:24 amWhat are you guys talking about???
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 4:49 amAbout seeing Motley Crue in concert a few years ago.
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 22, 2012, 8:14 amAh ok. Well I know who they are. 🙂
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 4:28 pmI thought this was a very important episode for several reasons that you mentioned. It’s the first real idea that we get that this show isn’t going to be all fun and games for the vamp community. While we swoon and giggle over Mick’s living emoticon face (Thx @Theude), we also see him deal out a little vamp justice and get a good picture that there is a very real danger when the rules are not followed and very harsh results when not followed.
I wonder how the vamp community feels about Mick telling Beth about him?? Who else has a human friend? Oh…I guess everyone who has a freshie has a human BFF or VBC. Nevermind.
Grandpa Mick! YES!! I love Grandpa Mick and his grousing. Heh.
This was definitely a snifff a palooza!! Not only did Mick do his epic sniffing (can I take a moment and say how much I love his nose? yes, ok. Thanks) but also the amount of people sniffing! Guillermo sniffing, also Beth getting in a “what’s that smell??” So yeah. I lost count but did note it was probably the most in an episode. I think they toned it down a bit after this epi. 😦
Crap, I forgot to upload my screencaps so I could share. So I’ll hold the rest of my notes til I can use them. I have some really good ones coming up…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 7:17 am“… living emoticon face” … all the subtle, little quirky movements his face makes when he starts telling Beth how he became a vampire — like he’s not really comfortable tellling her. How does he do that???
Posted by Karin@notMcNerd | June 11, 2012, 2:06 pmGrandpa Mick!! Yeah, I’m not gonna stop with that. 😉 I love his grandpa moments. They’re part of what really make the character believable for me, gives Mick that extra layer of human believeableness.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 11, 2012, 4:22 pmWhile I love me some Aretha, I only think of Motley Crue when I see Dr. Feelgood. That’s just one of those songs that I have to turn up soooooooooper loud when I’m in my car and it comes on the radio. I have not had a chance to rewatch this ep… got distracted by the rewatching of H50 Ko’olauloa… but I am ready to go tonight and YES I am still counting sniffs. Appreciate the heads up on snifforama and will be sure to have a LARGE glass of wine ready for the sniff drinking game.
Posted by spurschick | June 11, 2012, 8:02 amThis really was never one of my favorite eps, but the more I watch it, the more I like it.
Here, I gotta give mad props to Beth for coming back and asking Mick questions about being a vampire. She could have gone so many different ways, most of which would have resulted in her head being mounted over Josef’s desk, but…she went back. And Mick answers her honestly, for the most part.
And, like Ess pointed out, this ep shows that while Mick might hate what he is, he doesn’t hesitate to do what it takes to keep vamps a secret…AND how much do I love that vampires have rules?
Mick getting staked and Beth pulling it out makes me chuckle every time…and I get a little sad when Mick tells her he had to give up his friends and family when he was Turned. How terribly lonely, to be cut off from everything you knew.
LOOOOOVED the end, but then every time Mick and Josef are on screen together, I love it.
And never mind Mick was nothing but beautiful in this ep. #dyingfromthepretty
Posted by PNWgal (@PNWgal) | June 11, 2012, 8:41 amI *still* LOL at Mick saying, “pull it out”….I’m giggling right now just thinking of it. You. just. know. there are a hundred hilarious out takes to this scene lying in some CBS warehouse gathering dust. You cannot tell me that Sophia and our Alex did not have a field day with this scene! Fk yeah…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 10:47 amOh, now that would be amazing to see. I can imagine it.
Posted by Lorraine Pearl | June 11, 2012, 11:08 amYeah, just cries out for a “that’s what she said”. I read an interview somethere – Sophia said her face hurt at the end of shooting days from laughing so hard with Alex.
Posted by AnnieOakley | June 11, 2012, 12:26 pmShe tweeted a few months ago that she used to go home with a belly ache every night from all the laughing. ❤
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 5:06 pmThat scene is hillarious. “Pull it out.” LOL I laugh every time and think yup that’s a day Alex and Sophia went to work and groaned, “ugh really? This is my job? Writers? Really?”
Director “so Alex what we need you to do is lie on the floor and not move. And then after Sophia pulls the stake out you still can’t move, so your hand has to stay locked as though you’re still holding the stake…yes you can still talk, why wouldn’t you be able to talk? Your vocal cords don’t get frozen. Gee Alex now THAT would be stu/id.”
Moonlight I love you. So much. And when I think I can’t or shouldn’t love you, Alex appears in jeans and I LOVE YOU.
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 4:58 am“And when I think I can’t or shouldn’t love you, Alex appears in jeans and I LOVE YOU” – and when I think i can’t love Grace any more, she posts this and I do! lol!
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 22, 2012, 5:46 amAww. If I could favourite a comment I would fav this one. 😉
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 6:06 am10. Crabby Mick and his corduroy pants, soothed by Josef’s zen story.
Okay, this is very sad to admit, but I never–even after watching a minimum of five times over the years–realized he had on corduroy pants. But that is one of my favorite scenes. I think I need to crawl up on his lap and feel really good to make sure they are cordruoy. Anyone with me?
Posted by Lorraine Pearl | June 11, 2012, 9:57 amI never realized they were corduroy either but as soon as she said it all I could think about was how in the hell he never started a fire walking in those things? I mean, the way his meaty, masculine, manly-man thighs rub together he should have burned down the entire set!
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 10:44 amSo true. But if he caught on fire I would have helped him roll around on the floor to put out the flames. That would be worth risking your life for.
Posted by Lorraine Pearl | June 11, 2012, 11:10 amStop Drop & Roll baby!
So… are you all telling me that you just haven’t “seen the forest for the trees,” so to speak & those *are* in fact corduroy pants, I’m not making that up? I’m hardly looking at HD versions here so if I get my background details wrong please say so!
Maybe Ess’ spontaneous combustion theory is why he can only wear them sitting down.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 11, 2012, 4:29 pmThere aren’t really any HD versions, I don’t think. My DVD’s are not quite HD….is anyone else’s? I think they just threw them together to satiate the Moonlight market but no realy thought or effort into the DVD. 😦
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 6:04 pmIt really is sad how it got treated…..no special features etc.
As far as I could follow the history, it was the guys from Amazon that asked for the release of it, after all the requests from fans.
Even after the slapdash release, it still won the Saturn Award for Best Television Series Release on DVD in 2009
Posted by FOYeur | June 13, 2012, 10:46 amSounds like what happened with the Three Rivers DVD. That makes sense. It is packaged very similarly. FU CBS for not following through.
I’d say Alex has a ‘few’ fans…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 13, 2012, 4:06 pmI still wonder if the people who made TOF ever figured out the random boom in DVD sales. 😛
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 5:06 amCorduroy? I never noticed that either…I’m guessing because I was to busy looking at his Faaacccceeee or how he was all stretched out on the sofa like the sexy vampire he is. Seriously, I love this whole scene, especially Josef. I think you really see why these two very different vamps are friends.
Posted by JDD | June 11, 2012, 8:08 pmMaybe thats another reason why he walks so wonderfully “splay-legged”? Unfortunate pants fire in his past?
Posted by KimmerNY | June 12, 2012, 8:30 amD.Y.I.N.G!!!
That *would* be unfortunate!! Keep the man out of courduroy!!
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 12, 2012, 8:48 amUnfortunate? Hardly! Pants fire… pants burning off… pantslessness!!
I’d pat him down before his skin got scorched, I’ll take one for the team.
Posted by heymomo | June 12, 2012, 5:52 pmHow have I NEVER noticed those pants were corduroy?? I think mostly because my eyes glaze over at the sight of him sprawled out on that couch. And Ess, now I’m wanting to say “meaty, masculine, manly-man thighs” fast three times. 🙂
Posted by jrenee65 | June 11, 2012, 3:25 pmOK, so I’ve seen this episode several times – watched it again yesterday as homework for today’s online class. But this was the first time I giggled at the scene where***SPOILER ALERT*** Mick is wheeling Dr. Feelgood toward the incinerator, with the stake making a tent-pole in the middle of the sheet. Surely Alex must have had to fight back the giggles himself. Looked like a teenage boy on the beach in baggie boardshorts, watching his sister’s friend putting on sunscreen.
Posted by AnnieOakley | June 11, 2012, 12:20 pmTent poles, “pull it out”…they had a field day with this episode…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 3:53 pmREFUGEE…. You have such a way with words!!! Perfect metaphor.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 11, 2012, 6:42 pmWhat caught my attention the very first time I watched it, was that until Beth joins him he doesn’t cover the guys face…..They probably did a take with him covered and realised, they need to make it look less awkward. At least by showing where his head was, they showed the stake to be in his chest….:grin:
Posted by FOYeur | June 13, 2012, 10:51 amIt kind of makes me sad! Like, the vamp is paralyzed, he’s not dead. With his face uncovered, Mick was kind of keeping him company… once his face is covered, think of how terrifying that would be, unable to move or see anything. He did have to die, but maybe Mick was trying to make it as easy as he could on the guy, only covering him up to protect Beth’s human sensibilities?
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 13, 2012, 11:42 am^^THIS^^ wow. SHOW was kind of deep sometimes, wasn’t it? 😉
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 13, 2012, 4:08 pmQ: Why does Mick go after the rogue with a gun??
Best line: “The Red Cross does not mention that in their literature.” Makes me laugh every time.
Observation: In the “spread-eagled couch scene”, emotional Mick rubs his forehead. How many times have we seen McG do that?
Love, love, love every scene with Josef!
Posted by Karin@notMcNerd | June 11, 2012, 2:14 pmMy thought was that he had silver bullets. But yeah it struck me that I was not used to seeing him with a gun!
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 3:51 pmYeah he comes through that door with the gun it’s for sure a cognitive dissonant “MickG” moment for me. Because he was Mick before he was McG but not for me! Weird. And then I’m like, yeah, why the heck does Mick need a gun anyway? If the bullets are silver, how does he load them? Anyway. I’m glad for the most part that ML is mostly gun-free. Vampires should always fight hand to hand… Just because.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 11, 2012, 4:40 pm“cognitive dissonant “MickG” moment for me” – ***blinks**** obvi writing is not my forte. Goes to google…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 5:14 pmIt means I have two thoughts that are both true but are in conflict with each other.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 13, 2012, 10:37 amMickG!! Love it.
My notes include that gun and silver bullets as well.
Posted by heymomo | June 12, 2012, 5:55 pm“The Red Cross does not mention that in their literature.”
I’d still give blood! There should be an option…..
Please Tick ONE of the below:
Do you want your blood to go to a sexy PI crime fighting vampire?
No
Yes
Fk Yes
What do you mean? I’m a freshie. It already does.
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 5:09 amYeah, I prefer to have him suck on my neck vs the needle option. Can I have that option???
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 22, 2012, 8:13 amThat is so funny that you made this checklist Infant… Because when I was screencapping, Mr JK was listening in & he gives blood regularly & he said that if he knew a vampire was taking his donation out the back door for dinner he wouldn’t donate anymore. So I guess that’s a No? 😆 No wonder Mick is so emo. Can’t even get dinner without stealing from sick people and/or killing them and/or exploiting them (freshies). Hard to be a vamp with Human Morals which I guess is what Josef is always saying.
Posted by SJ2 (Junk Kicker) | June 22, 2012, 9:45 amVampires are people too Mr JK!
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 4:35 pmHere are some of Alex’s comments on Dr. Feelgood The show, not the song. 😉
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 5:08 pmI ACA with his “one off” comment.
However, those pictures…. I want to JK the caption-writer. Terrible. Just. Terrible. Perhaps this is what you meant above when you said the DVDs were just thrown together, not a lot of thought went into them? 😦
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 12, 2012, 11:23 pmThanks for posting these articles….
Posted by FOYeur | June 13, 2012, 11:05 amIs analogous even a word? *checks* yes it is. One day I’m gonna get through an Alex interview without needing a dictionary or google. 😛 #FineAlexMakeMeFeelStup1d
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 5:21 amI wondered why at the beginning of epi, did Mick look so.freakin.hot? Then I realized its the shirt! Seafoam Green Shirt FTW!! damn all the diff lighting.. boo.
I’m sure at some point his girlfriends get immune to it, but seriously, how can you say no to this face??
I’m sure the first couple times I heard what he said in this scene. But this time I was totally mesmerized by the shirt, jacket and hair. In a good way. 🙂
Mick being staked, gratuitous belly p0rn
Mick being un-staked You’re welcome
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 11, 2012, 6:01 pmI am completely on board with the seafoam green!!!
Aaah, when Mick is staked how much do I love that fleur-de-lis necklace? THIS MUCH IN FACT. Love it.
That whole staking/unstaking scene is priceless. Just amazingly wonderful, every moment of it!.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 12, 2012, 11:18 pmIt WAS a fleur-de-lis necklace!! OMG how did I miss that? TO THE Moonlight PARKING LOT I GO!!!
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 13, 2012, 6:34 amTime to go parking with Mick, heh heh.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 13, 2012, 10:38 amYeah um….*cough* don’t wait up…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 13, 2012, 4:10 pmI like the obsession with seafoam green. 🙂
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 5:29 amI haven’t rewatched this one yet, but, really, it’s the first for the crystal fire ? I hadn’t noticed, personally I loved the crystal fire !
Steph : 5. This episode is a sniff-a-palooza! (you still keeping count Spursy?). 💙💜💛 this so much!
The mention of corduroy …. Umm, I saw legs splayed ! Whew, wait, What was I saying ?
I’ll be back after I rewatch this one!
Posted by lb | June 11, 2012, 6:39 pmMy random thoughts on episode trois (menage a):
– My mouth watered when he said, “previously on Moonlight…”
– Dude, how much time do you spend standing by your front door waiting for people to come by?
– “I need you to tell me that I didn’t see what I think I saw, blah, blah, blah…” Smack! Pow! That’s me b/tchslapping Beth.
– He looks so dejected! I need to hug him.
– He told you he’s a vampire and that freaks you out. So here’s an idea… show up at his place with a plunging neckline.
– Based on what we see of Coraline later, she probably shouldn’t have been wearing white.
– Mick has the patience of a saint john. I’d have gone off on Beth before I kicked her out the door.
– Mmmmmm… chest fur.
– The entire scene in Gerald’s office. Ugh. Chin dimple. Face. Fckn life ruiner.
– “Why do you think you can’t trust me?” Cuz you keep referring to him as a “thing” or a “what.”
– The doctor’s wife is wearing a very unattractive outfit.
– How could Gerald not smell Beth in the doctor’s house?
– This vamp is 10 seconds old. How did Mick not completely kick his *ss from the get go?
– Next time I’m in a hospital, I’m going to wheel a guy with a stake in his chest down a hallway and see if no one notices.
– Josef! What’s in the eyedropper?!
– Mick standing in Beth’s doorway… severe eyelash p0rn! Oh my goodness gracious!
Line of the ep: “Hey, I get it. It’s a lot to… get.” – Mick
Sniff count: A whopping 9.5! The half sniff is for both Beth and Mick smelling blood/death in the doctor’s house, but there was no actual sniff.
Posted by spurschick | June 11, 2012, 7:07 pmCorduroy? What? Crystal fire, wish I had one. voice overs, still good, car scenes still bad.
I’m guessing Josef carries some of his own fresh blood supply around, whether for a snack or to ‘top off’ the nasty blood bag stuff he knows he will get at Mick’s. This won’t spoil anything, except if you believe in Mick’s fighting abilities, but I remember noticing that Mick seems to pretty much get his a.s kicked in almost every fight.
As to the doc, how can he f.kng killl his wife, then casually stroll hospital corridors in fresh scrubs? Dude, either you are in control or not! Now that I have seen them all once, I was riveted at the end …the hallway scene in this ep.
I watched this while watching 5-0 tonight. I may have set my own self on fire – no corduroy needed -with McG in major vein porn and thigh holsters on the big screen while Mick is flashing silver bullets and flowing coats on the iPad.
Posted by cvc | June 11, 2012, 8:51 pmGotta love your multitasking!
Posted by Karin@notMcNerd | June 11, 2012, 9:29 pmCVC was double fisting!! you go girl. 😉
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 12, 2012, 8:10 pmJust trying to keep up! But it was a great way to spend a Monday. Can ‘t hold a wine glass this way though, or take notes. Will have a new plan for next week.
Posted by cvc | June 14, 2012, 6:53 pmMick was a lover, not a fighter. OH wait, he didn’t do any ‘loving’ either. He was a Protector, not a fighter! yeah, that’s it. 😉
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 12, 2012, 4:36 amLover in season 2. What, you didn’t see season 2? #FUCBS.
Posted by heymomo | June 12, 2012, 5:59 pm“Lover in season 2. What, you didn’t see season 2? #FUCBS.” <<< THIS
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 12, 2012, 6:28 pm“This vamp is 10 seconds old. How did Mick not completely kick his *ss from the get go?”
EXACTLY MY THOUGHT EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS EP!
Sorry, ALLCAPS overload.
Posted by heymomo | June 12, 2012, 6:00 pm😆 Beth & her plunging necklines. YES it would have been much funnier if she showed up in a double layered turtleneck. Missed wardrobe comedy opportunity!
Gerald appears to be a very defective vampire in a lot of ways.
9.5 sniffs!!!!This ep must win for the most sniffs. EPIC.
Also, talk about eyelashes, that top pic of mine, it’s like Paula said once, “it’s like a moth landed on his eyeball.”
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 12, 2012, 8:09 pmOMG. How absolutely funny would it have been if she had shown up in a turtleneck. Genius.
Can we assume that Gerald got the ultimate punishment from the cleaner?
For some reason, I’m thinking that there is an even crazier sniffing episode later on. I might need to get a Cougar Town-style wine glass for that one.
Posted by spurschick | June 12, 2012, 8:22 pmOne sniff every 2.3 minutes of television. CAN IT BE BEAT???? #TeamKeepOnSniffin
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 12, 2012, 9:49 pmHow about a turtleneck, a cross necklace and a bulb of garlic in her purse *just in case* . Plus one of those “stakes r us’ stakes the cool kids and serial killers all carry.
Posted by cvc | June 14, 2012, 6:56 pmI wanted to do the homework in advance this time and be RIGHT THERE with my comments, but then The Ko’olauloa Review went up, and I had to watch THAT and now I’m behind. *sigh* forgive me. The dog at my homework.
Random thoughts:
– I love Beth’s questioning of Mick about being a vampire, she’s hesitant at first, then she can’t stop, and Mick’s willing, then he holds back, they go back and forth, and back and forth… sorry got distracted there.
– Never invite Carl to a surprise party. Dude can NOT keep a secret.
– Sniffing!! What’s the count?!?
– “There’s not a big clubhouse where we all hang out”, OH MICK!
– Longing looks in the morgue hallway… Mick is a smitten kitten (great minds, Steph, I wrote the same thing!)
– The sniffing is off the charts in this episode!!!
– Feral kitten. Meow.
– “What did you eat, and by what, I mean who.”
– Mick’s hair is particularly coiffed in the nerdy vampire’s office.
– Where in LA is there no cell coverage?
– By midway through the ep, Beth is so cool with the whole vamp thing, she’s making jokes about eating garlic chips.
– “Wait in the car means what/ yeah, because that worked out so well last time” OH YOU TWO!
– Does Mick have silver bullets in his gun?
– Nerdy vamp: “Never been able to sire before” What the what? Why not? Are some vampires impotent?
– Post stake removal, Beth can’t stop herself from touching the moobies.
– The wind in the hair as Mick runs through the hospital corridors!!
– I’ve been in a lot of hospitals, and I’ve never found/stumbled across the incinerator room l before. Pretty sure you can’t just go there.
– Crystal fire! Crystal fire!!
– Damn refrigerator bed steamed up below the waist!! Why are you steamed up?!?!
– Yeah, I trust you. *melt*
Posted by heymomo | June 12, 2012, 6:13 pm– Sniff count was 9.5. See my notes as to where the half came from. 🙂 Definitely a good sniff drinking game ep.
– Are some vampires impotent? Love this question! Clearly it isn’t a sure thing. Just ask Josef. (mini spoiler)
But how fabulous would it be to have s/x with a guy and not have to worry about getting preggers, getting an STD, UTI… sigh, I need to fck a vampire.
– Why does a hospital HAVE an incinerator room?! They don’t cremate bodies in hospitals… do they?!
– Why IS that freezer steamed up?! Or did he get crafty with some of that frosted window film stuff?
Posted by spurschick | June 12, 2012, 8:18 pmSmitten Kitten! Mick’s Secret Vampire Clubhouse!
CRYSTAL FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
This is an interesting ep, it’s not great as far as the mystery plot part goes, but it’s so *entertaining* and not as melodramatic as some upcoming episodes so it has this lightheartedness to it that I really appreciate.
Posted by stephaniejane2 (The Junk Kicker) | June 12, 2012, 9:44 pm“There’s not a big clubhouse where we all hang out”, OH MICK!” – LOVE this!!
“The wind in the hair as Mick runs through the hospital corridors!!” – I noticed this too…as much as I tried to pretend it wasn’t happening…lol!!
The incinerator room, well he’s had 50 yrs to develop his relationship with Guillermo. Maybe Guillermo gave him access…who the hell knows, maybe Mick helped build the freaking hospital…
Posted by ESS @H50BAMF | June 13, 2012, 6:51 amI don’t mind the longer hair (most of the time). I don’t mind guys with longer hair. Hellllooo I love Taylor Kitsch with his long hair and when he cut it in Battleship, well that was the saddest bit of that movie. 😛
Posted by Infant_Sardonic | June 22, 2012, 5:34 amThe aliens kill millions of people & the saddest bit is a haircut? 😆 Somehow, I believe you.
Posted by SJ2 (Junk Kicker) | June 22, 2012, 9:28 amWhen they cut his hair, my thought was: wow, much better. That boy has beautiful bone structure, it shouldn’t be hidden behind hair.
Posted by heymomo | June 22, 2012, 4:28 pmHaha, Steph, are we suggesting my priorities are askew? 😛 I will confess the shorter hair grew on me and then at the end when the character got approached by a SEAL I thought someone had been stalking my timeline and made a movie just for me. I mean you’ve seen it Momo how many things are in that movie that I love. Even AC/DC. It was almost weird. 😛
