I'm so frickin' happy about JDoh and Moonlight that I made a list why ...
1. I was right. Hah! Always number one. I kept saying that perhaps a show would retool and recast from the Pilot (like BtVS with Willow), but I was shot down. And AHA! It happened. Yay for me. (And yeah, Jason, too.) Okay, admittedly, I'm shocked it happened and I had completely given up hope on this, but hey, it did happen. Woohoo!
2. The fact that this is (a) WB productions (b) Silver productions and (c) on CBS with Les Moonves likely means that we were not the only ones impressed with JDoh. The big boys liked him too, so YAY!!!!
3. I was worried that we wouldn't see him anymore because that seems to be the way with all actors I've loved, but the fact that he was cast in this by those big names (throw David Greenwalt --who knows a little somethin' about star power -- in the mix because he had to approve it, I'm sure) means that even if this tanks, I have more faith that he WILL get something else because he has made an impact. Woo-to-the-freaking-hoo!!!!!!!
4. A mischievous vampire!?!?! He's going to be playing a MISCHIEVOUS vampire!?!?!? GAH!!! Kill me now with joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. There are four main cast members it looks like and he's one of 'em. AHHHHHHHHH!!!! One of FOUR main and he was hired to essentially be the young eye candy (not that he's not talented too, of course), but still ... Ah! Cast as eye candy when three years ago, UPN wouldn't cast him as the leading man because he wasn't pretty enough. Hah! Take that unknown UPN exec! And adding further joy to the mix ... JDoh cast as one of the main four means ...
6. PROMOTION!! They will promote him. YES!!! And since this is CBS, there will likely be a helluva lot more promotion for him than Veronica Mars ever did ... probably pre-show will offer more promotion that all three seasons of VM combined.
7. Promotion done NOT BY THE CW!!!! Meaning, hopefully no more horrific photos, photo-shopped crap from hell, budgetary concerns to a crazy degree.
8. Finally, Jason's pale, Irish complexion will finally work for the character.
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doing the happy dance, doing the happy dance!!!!
