bite me.

[semisweet]

yay, jdoh back on tv!

"Veronica Mars" alum Jason Dohring is reuniting with the show's producers, Warner Bros. TV and Silver Pictures, with a co-starring role on "Moonlight," their new series for CBS. The drama centers on a private investigator (Alex O'Loughlin) who is a vampire. Dohring will play ancient vampire Josef. He replaces 60-year-old Rade Serbedzija, who played the part in the pilot presentation before the character was reconceptualized as a young, mischievous hedge-fund trader.

so is this show gonna suck? i have no fucking idea who alex o'loughlin is!

EDIT: there's a trailer for the show here, it looks kind of good. no jdoh; he's taking the place of the older gentleman who was in the limo at one point, i believe. on the downside, this show is going to be on friday nights. timeslot of death not ftw. :x

ETA: oooh, the BB8 house looks AWESOME! omg i can't wait for it to start, lmao.

Um, with JDo and Sofia Myles? It's going to ROCK. Bwee!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i've never seen her in anything, but she's really pretty, so...YAY! :D

[arathesane.livejournal.com]

all I've seen about Moonlight are the trailers that have been running on CBS and to me it looks like a crap show, but that could just be the promos and the fact that the phrasing and even some of the shots are very similar to to how Angel was promoted, which just bugs me. but then again, it seems to be about a vampire who has some issues so I guess similarity in how it's promoted isn't that strange. it's also be that it's coupled with Ghost Whisperer which I can't stand so that also could partly be why I think it's going to be bad. I have no idea, really. personally, I loathed Logan at the end, and was totally burned out on JD but if he does well in this role, awesome.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, i've never seen angel or ghost whisperer, so i've got that going for me in this case, i guess. and i quit watching VM when lamb died (not BECAUSE he did, but just because i didn't care anymore), so i just miss jason.

i don't know. i love vampires and i love jason, so hopefully this'll be ok!

[arathesane.livejournal.com]

it's funny because while I do think he can be great given the right material, after seeing him in almost every ep(or was it every ep?) for two seasons as Logan, I honestly don't want to see watch him in anything for a while. which is the exact opposite of most everyone on my flist;) but I do think he's a good actor and hope he does well in general.

I loved Angel and I don't think Moonlight is a ripoff or anything (vampire lore was around a long time before Joss and Buffy), it's just that CBS is using some of the exact phrases that the WB used to promote Angel and that unsettles me. 'cause Angel was this great, dark noir-ish show, and this show looks like it might be aiming for that type of feel but it just doesn't seem like it gets it right. but again part of that could just be the promos, honestly I think CBS frequently just does bad promos, especially for its new shows.

with the Ghost Whisperer, I've never watched a full episode, I watched part of the pilot just to see Wentworth Miller but I just could not watch it, it was that bad to me. and I am still annoyed they cancelled Joan of Arcadia and put GW in its spot what can I say, I'm still pissed that Everwood, AD and bunch of other shows got cancelled, I can hold a grude;)

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hm, it looks halfway decent. I hate the focus on the romance thing though, kinda lame. And no slash potential. This Alex O'Loughlin guy is both hot and adorable though, which I can totally get behind, and I'm curious to see what Jason brings to it!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

well, knowing jdoh, there'll end up being slash potential soon enough, lol. if his character's mischievous i can totally see him flirting with this alex dude's character. *hopes*

[defaultcrush.livejournal.com]

Eeeeh. *laugh* I will watch that show simply because of Jason Dohring, but I have an issue with non-Jossverse vampire stories. It's not like I think they should all conform to him or whatever, but I am so immersed in Buffy/Angelverse that anything else seems wrong.

I must resist the urge to watch BB. It is such a timewaster, between the episodes and hamsterwatch. :P Stupid addictive show. *kick*

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

see, i never watched buffy/angel (i KNOW, i KNOW), so i don't have that issue. :P

god, i love BB way more than i should. and the twist/theme/whatever this year looks amusing.

[sinca.livejournal.com]

Combination Moonlight/Friday Night Lights night of power!

Ooh, thanks for the link to the BB8 house! It really does look amazing.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

srsly, friday nights are suddenly going to be awesome for TV! \o/

isn't the house cool? i want to go hang out there!

[crystalizedsoul.livejournal.com]

I heard the polit sucked (and not in a good vampire way) but I'll definitly checj it out for J'Doh.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

well, seeing as how the main girl and jdoh's role have been recast, hopefully the revamped pilot will be better? :/

[snowdrop03.livejournal.com]

I had sworn I wasn't going to watch this shown because it seemed a ripoff of Angel, but I might have to give it a try now. *sigh*

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, i've never seen angel, so it doesn't bother me. and jdoh, yay!

[lloydsgurl.livejournal.com]

eh, as long as someone puts it up for download, I'll watch (I have no tv at Uni).

Good luck JDoh!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i'm sure it'll be up somewhere. i'm excited to see jason in another role!

[msblackeyeliner.livejournal.com]

um this seems to remind me of a certain tv show called Angel...lol.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, everyone keeps saying that! i've never seen angel, lol.

[apriljoiex.livejournal.com]

Please Jason, bite me. I mean it. Yum. I'll definitely be tuning in.

So I wonder will they be reshooting the pilot now with Jason? Man, my Tivo will be extra busy on Friday nights now.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i would certainly imagine they'll be reshooting the pilot. the trailer has footage of the dude he's replacing, so apparently his character appears in the pilot. i'm excited!

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Jason as a vampire, eh? Sounds interesting. Though the plot does remind me of Angel...as soon as I read about the private investigator thing I was thinking, "OMG it's Angel Investigations!"

So this'll either go great or flop, since it's in its beginning stages we'll see how it goes.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee, i am obviously the only person alive who's never seen angel.

i have no idea, but i'm excited for more jason dohring in my life!

*ring ring*

[themightybee.livejournal.com]

I AM VERY EXCITED FOR BB8 T-BOOGIE.

Re: *ring ring*

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

ME TOO DR. BEE!!

[lady-iriska.livejournal.com]

JD is back on TV? That makes me so-so happy! :)

He's the only thing I miss about VM, so Squeeeee!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yeah, i'm really happy to see he's been cast in something. i hope the show does ok; i'd love to have a weekly JD fix!

[singingrl.livejournal.com]

It could very well suck, but with JD onboard, I might have to TiVo it every week :P Of course, it's on CBS and they've had "Ghost Whisperer" and "Numbers" on Friday nights for awhile and they seem to be doing okay...so who knows? If it sucks, I'll probably still keep watching it...how sad does that sound? *g*

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i will definitely be tivo-ing it! and yeah, i guess CBS manages to pull off a friday night schedule, so maybe this'll be ok. idk, but i'm excited for some jdoh in my life! \o/

[masio.livejournal.com]

omfg yay!
(not really a fan shannon lucio though)

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

she's been recast also (http://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSN2739006220070627), actually!

[masio.livejournal.com]

now this looks like awesome.

[blushingblaze.livejournal.com]

[blushingblaze.livejournal.com]

Annnnnd, I just posted a BB friending meme. :) It's cracktastic!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

EEEEE BB WE ARE TOTES MFEO! ♥

i can't wait to seeeeee you!!! oh, so yeah, your job will be to meet me at the tampa airport on saturday and then bring me back sunday afternoon. squee!

[alittlepunchy.livejournal.com]

I heard about this from someone else on my f-list and yea...I'm kind of wondering how it's going to do. It sounds like Angel, and is in a BAD timeslot.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i've never seen angel, so that doesn't bother me. the timeslot is way sketchy, tho. :x

[smiles1-9.livejournal.com]

YAY!! So excited to see that JDoh will be back on my tv on a weekly basis!!!! Although I'm nervous with the Friday night timeslot, and the fact that I don't think I've heard of any of the other actors.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i haven't heard of any of the others either, except vaguely of this sophia myles chick. or i saw the promos for tristan & isolde, anyway, lol.

[dawnie1970.livejournal.com]

Oh hell, I'll watch it for JD, fwee!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

my thoughts exactly!!

[diamondrocker.livejournal.com]

WOOHOOO!!! FOR JDOH!

Love it.

KBell can suck it.

But DUDE, WTF with putting shows I don't want to get cancelled on Friday nights??? First FNL and now Jason's new show? What the crap?!?

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

i know, right?! what's up with putting shows i want to survive on death night?! O.o

*clings to dillon panthers and to mr. jdoh*

[ladytiramisu.livejournal.com]

Jason Dohring as a vampire? OMG HOT.
I've never seen that Alex guy, but he's hot too. And I have a feeling I'm really going to like that show. I hope they release a new promo with Jason in it!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

right?! i love vampires, and i love him, so this has me quite excited!!! \o/

i definitely need a new promo asap. of course, if he's just been cast, i guess they have to, like, shoot stuff before they can release a promo. :P

[croakvegas.livejournal.com]

To add a random comment, all I know about Alex O'Loughlin is that he's Australian, has never done anything too big, and is pretty OK to look at.

So I don't really have anything of value to add, LMAO.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hee! well, i had determined that he was pretty ok to look at, but i didn't know he was australian, so you were helpful! :P

[carson-leigh.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so excited that JD will be on my tv again so soon. I love him to death.

BB is my guilty pleasure. I'm ashamed to admit that I stay up all hours of the night to watch the live feeds.
