Thank you all so much!!!
Great information! Now that I have heard some of that, I understand how it has been incorporated into some amazing fanfics.
I would definitely have buried CBS with letters had I known about Moonlight. I even had a couple of friends who tried to clue me in on it--saying that 'you have GOT to check this show out. It is SO amazing...' but I didn't. Bummer.
Yes, and I have been told, 'I told you so' many, many times. What can I say--I deserve it.
If hindsight were foresight.
About the 'smell the past and glimpse the future thing' - it never really bothered me. Because of the extremely sensitive sense of smell, they could gain so much detailed information that they could practically 'smell the past' As to glimpse the future, I just accepted it as a side effect of the increased brain power (senses are heightened and probably intelligence, too. Maybe preternatural abilities like precognition, as well.) I always thought a LOT could have been done with this. A glimpse of MickBeth's future--maybe with Beth flashing fangs or a scene where it looked like she was killed, and it turns out that she isn't. Or of MickBeth with kids around them calling them Mommy and Daddy. Possibiities are endless.
Werewolves. Can you imaging Josef's 'well, OK but keep them off the furniture' jokes. I actually think they could have handled it and kept it fresh for us.
