Clearly an improvement over the first one. (Of course DG had a hand in writing it, so who knows what the ones that come after he left will be like).

I loved that JD was in it for more than 2 minutes (yeah, I know, one-track mind). And I was probably watching way too obsessively for every little neuance, but what I noticed is that, in key moments, he is remarcably subdued. In a good way. There's a quite intensity there, but it's in the tention of his shoulders, in mild inflection of his voice, in slight tilt of his head. He let's loose in funny scenes, but when it's serious, he goes for the under- rather than over. And somehow it's more menacing. These are the moments when it comes thruogh for me that this is someone who's lived a long while and who's gotten economical with his emotions and his expressions. He doesn't need to drive a threat home, merely imply it, for it to carry the meaning. He knows Mick doesn't doubt his seriousness or his capability to deliver on it.

I may be reading way too much into it, but hey, I'm fascinated.

Re: vampire reveal so soon. I kind of like it that she knows now. It always annoys me in fantasy shows how long people around don't realize what's going on. She is a reporter, she is supposed to be observant, and if she went for months not finding out (even if she had tried), I'd be beyond stupid. As it is, she kept saying "There's something Mick's not telling me" and I kept going "You think?!"

I'm more interested to see the dillema and the struggle now that she knows. I like that she has a boyfriend, and that he seems like a good guy who's good with her. These triangles -- and there must be a triangle, it's the rule, lol -- are infinitely better to explore. The kinds where both options hold appeal and the choice is neither easy nor obvious.
