http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/22/MOONLIGHT----Fever.aspx If a vampire is sitting in a tub filled with ice and giving the ceiling a thousand-yard stare, that’s a fairly good sign that things aren’t going too well for said vampire. That’s where Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin) finds himself at the beginning of this week’s episode, and if you’re confused, don’t worry. Like every self-respecting detective, Mick’s got a noir-inflected voiceover to explain it all, complete with flashbacks. Harrison Ford’s probably grateful his turn in BLADE RUNNER didn’t have the flashbacks; the voiceover sucked badly enough as it was. Anyway, back to our episode already in progress. Thanks to Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), the only mortal who knows Mick’s a member of the Nosferatu Nation, Mick’s got a missing persons case. There’s an arms dealer on trial for murder, and the main witness is hiding out in a safe house, up until an assassin ventilates the place. The witness, the former nanny for the arms dealer, leaves town on the good foot, and Mick manages to find her and convinces her to return for the trial. The fact that she’s pregnant by the murder victim is just one more complication in the ongoing thrill ride that is Mick’s life this week. Unfortunately, the assassin is a persistent fellow, and manages to track Mick and the witness thanks to a leak in the D.A.’s office. In the act of losing them, Mick and his charge end up stranded in the desert, which tends to have more sunlight than vampires like to have. Not a good situation for our hero, who is dire need of blood, and with his only source being his pregnant and fearful witness … it’s a piss-poor situation. Until Beth shows up. Will he feed off her to save the witness? If he does, will he be able to stop? What the hell do you think? It’s CBS, for heaven’s sake; if it were going to end in blood and tears, we’d be watching it on FX or HBO or something. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/22/MOONLIGHT----Fever.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/22/MOONLIGHT----Fever.aspx#1866 I am liking this show more and more as it go'es on.
