so Why Moonlight Cont.....

When she cancelled the show Nina Tassler from CBs said that the show was "Actor-Centric"...what nonsense...Each cast member, including the leads, was reliant on all the others to make the story work. The show could NOT have worked if it was focussed solely on the relationship between Beth Turner and Mick St. John. The entire script was based upon the inter-relationships of all the characters.
Josef Kostin, played BRILLIANTLY by Jason Dohring... is the antithesis of Alex O'Loughlin's Mick St John. Kostin is a 400 year old vampire....who is comfortable BEING a vampire...as opposed to Mick.. a vampire for only 55 years... and who still wants to be human.
Likewise Corlaine..Mick's Vampire wife..played by Shannyn Sossamon...is the opposite of Beth
Vampire - Human... Light - dark...Old - New....
That was another reason why I liked the show so much.... the complexity of the relationships and the characters. Just when I thought I had a real handle on a particular character...they would do something.. OUT of character.. I loved that..
