Vampire Detective...hmm, sounds familiar

[mysid]

Does anyone else think the new tv series Moonlight seems a bit too much like the old tv series Forever Knight? One is about a vampire named Nick who works as a homocide detective to attone for his past sins and falls for a mortal woman. The other is about a vampire named Mick who works as a private detective to attone for his past sins and falls for a mortal woman. Can you even tell which sentence applies to which show?

(Or have I just dated myself horribly by admitting that I remember the earlier of these two shows?)

I've got to say that I loved the character of Lacroix on Forever Knight. He was the kind of character you love to hate--and then he'd turn around and do something halfway decent and confuse the hell out of you.

I've never even seen Forever Knight and I know Moonlight is a ripoff ;DDD

I still watch it though, despite the horrible awful cheesiness... (and Forever Knight is in my Netflix queue for when the WGA strike kicks in on primetime programming...)

I can tell, but only because I'm an old Forever Knight fan.** Except for, y'know, the Unspeakable Ending.**

I don't know what the hell is going on lately, but I see more and more things in books and TV shows that are virtual copies of things that already exist in other canons. When did plagiarism become so fucking acceptable?


**The sentence about Homicide Detective Nick refers to Forever Knight.

I wondered about Moonlight because of that. I saw some of the Forever Knight episodes, but didn't follow all of them.

I never managed to sit through the first episode of Moonlight. It's not only unoriginal, it is also really bad. *lol*
