  • The best Moonlight episode to date.

    "Perfect"

    I still think that this is the best episode that has been made so far. The plot was well written and Leni was a great guest character. The ways that Mick reacted to things such as being shot and being in the desert sun taught me more about the physical limits of vampires as well as showed us that Mick is capable of extraodinary endurance and self control. Beth's reaction to Mick's apparent death revealed slightly her true feelings not only to Mick but also her boyfriend. Action, suspense, romance, crime, and vampires. What more could you want in a show?moreless

    This was a wonderful fast paced episode. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing. I think the writers did a brilliant job with this particular episode, I don't know how they'll be able to top it. I love the way Mick risks his life for others. It's so contrary to the nature of Vampires. Of course, it was also brilliant at the end of the episode to have Beth give Mick her blood to keep him from dying. I really like the subtle differences in the whole vampire genre with being able to go in the sun. It certainly leaves more areas for the show to explore. I'm looking forward to seeing what the writers have for us next week!!!moreless

    I loved seeing Mick how he was all thirtsy and ready to kill anyone and anything, but it was so sad to see him struggle with his vampiric side. And I loved that girl who Mick was trying to protect. She was really cool and really sweet and smart and what not. I just really liked her. But i thought it was obvious that Mick was going to have to drink someones blood or he was going to die. They couldn't do that with the show or the whole thing would have to end. But the episode on a whole was actually awesome. Literally on of my favourites.moreless

    It would seem that trouble follows Mick and anyone he happens to be affiliated with. In this episode a twenty-something girl who is supposed to testify in a rather important case is nearly killed and then she runs away, and it is up to Mick to find her. Somehow he ends up in the desert (watch and find out why) and this nearly kills him. And then someone comes to save him. How will it end? Take a wild guess. This was a fantastic episode, and I can only hope that there are more episodes that are as gripping and emotional as this one. I think that it is well worth the time to watch it--this shows rocks!!moreless

    this was such a really good episode. before everything happened it already looked like josh and mick didn't really like each other anyway. but they do have one thing in common they both love or are inlove with beth. anyway i think in my opinion josh asked mick if he can do the job because i think he wanted to have beth for him self. you guys can clearly see that beth already thought of mick as a delicate flower and the flirtasous flower smile. anyway the best part of the episode was when mick was dieing and he ripped open his shirt i was all omg that is so hot. beth comes to the rescue and gives mick's blood that was so sweet of her but now he is like now going to try to keep her away which he shouldn't do because she wanted to help him and he shouldn't feel sorry or gulity she went to go save him so that should be ok.moreless

    • Mick: Some couples just aren't meant to be together. Take me and Beth. She has a very real boyfriend and, well, after Coraline, I have understandable trust issues. Still, when I see it's Beth calling, I always pick up. Edit
    • Mick: (voice over) When I was still human, I survived the Battle of the Bulge. Six weeks in a trench in the Ardennes. Coldest winter I ever felt. My buddy lost a foot to frostbite. I thought that was hell. I was wrong. Edit
    • Beth: So how long can you stay outside? Like how much sun is too much? Mick: Any is too much. Beth: You're a delicate flower Mick St. John. Edit
