« on: November 18, 2007, 10:21:59 PM »I found the character of the lead vampire's mentor jarring in a flat, rather banal way. The writing was horrendous and the actor obviously did not have a clue what he was supposed to be doing. He did actually seem as if he was fairly competent craft-wise. Perhaps if the writing has improved and they have changed directors, they might have been able to make something of the character.
Moonlight has actually improved greatly since the first episodes. There was a huge upheaval with producers and concept between the time the pilot was done and the series was first in production - and it showed. The mentor character, in particular, was adrift in the beginning, and it was obvious they were still deciding what exactly to do with him. However, since then the relationships between all the continuing characters and the ongoing storyline itself have been progressing quite nicely. Things are much more developed and existing on a deeper level. And the changes seem to be working because, while the show has been coming in second in its time period when it comes to households, it is far and away first in the period when it come to the 18-49 demos that advertisers eagerly covet and networks adore.
