Everybody Loves Saturday Night

VM: Logan's next role

Moonlight, the upcoming CBS crime drama featuring vampires, will also be tapping a former cast member of a beloved CW show, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jason Dohring has signed on to play Josef, a vampire who gets by as a hedge-fund trader. The role was originally played by 60-year old Rade Serbedzija before execs decided to overhaul the character.

There's a synopsis of the show here.  Vampire, PI, in love with mortal. Does this not sound like Angel Redux?  (David Greenwalt of both Buffy and Angel is executive producer.)

Buffy 4:3 It's like we're back in high school; Angel 1:3 Crossover! Yay!

Buffy: Wow, with Harmony, Spike and Anya all reappearing, it's like we're back in senior year all over again.  The first sighting of Buffy's neck scar. So cool, and the hilarity of blaming it (and Willow's bite) on an "angry puppy." ;)   Parker plays the "Dead Father" card, Buffy falls for it....only to find out he's no Angel, he's a jerk!  Oh!  Buffy: "So I am wondering, does this always happen? Sleep with a guy and he goes all evil?"

Great Anya quote: "You're funny and you're nicely shaped and frankly it's ludicrous to have these interlocking bodies and not interlock. Please remove your clothing now."

Angel: OK I am not sure I have ever loved a scene more than Spike up on the roof doing the old Kung Fu/mystery science theater commentary:  "Evil's still afoot and I"m almost out of that nancy boy hair gel I love so much..."  Ouch! Spike tells Angel about Parker using Buffy!  Ouch! Torture! Ouch, catching on fire!!! 

Loved both of these!!!!!!!!!!!  They really fooled me tho!  I totally thought that Buffy finding that ring, and then sending it to Angel would be the way they would have him get around LA in the sun: using the ring as the excuse.  But no!  :)

Buffy 4:2, Angel 1:2: Moving on.

Love when these shows don't just battle demons/vamps/etc., but when they make the evil come in the form of something everyone fears in real life:  Buffy - college roommates (uck!).  Angel - singles bars (double uck!).

Buffy 4:1, Angel 1:1: And Life Goes On.

Wow these episodes have really amazing symmetry. Both Buffy & Angel at a loss in their new lives, doubting their strengths, feeling deserted, getting the shit kicked out of them. Nice touch w/ the phone call.

Willow & Oz = finally coming into their own. But of course, college is when the smart kids finally get to shine!
