OK, I think my opinion of this show is rising. And it’s almost entirely based on one tiny item in the plot… it turns out the reason why vampires can’t be photographed is because pre-digital photographic paper used a silver emulsion. Now that we’ve gone digital, the silicon chips in your camera have no problem recording their images. That is, like, the coolest little bit of original vampiric lore I’ve come across in a long time. (And if you’ve heard it before, please don’t email and burst my bubble, ’kay?)

Moonlight, Ep. 1-01 “There’s No Such Thing As Vampires” (re-post)

Well. I think my opinion of the Moonlight pilot is pretty much a “meh”. It’s not bad enough to make me throw things at the TV, but not good enough to keep me from huffing as it dangerously exceeds my suggested daily allowance of bad puns.
