I've told this story before but will repeat it for the "young'ns"...
I saw the "interview promo" over the summer of '07 and was intrigued. Wasn't particularly into vampires, but, man, that interview sure grabbed me. Who was this guy? What was his story? Who was asking him these questions? And, the ultimate "?": why was he so f***in gorgeous???
I missed the first 3 eps as we have a lake place that we still go to weekends in Sept and Oct. We were generally on the road on Friday nights. When I finally tuned in for "Fever" I almost died! WHO WAS THIS GUY??? I got on the internet and by the end of that weekend I had sought out what little info there was on him on the web and had (most painfully) watched eps 1-3 on the CBS site. Once I realized that I could get them on itunes it was all over. That fateful week I learned more about the internet, itunes, downloads and fan web sites (oh and um fanfic...) than I had ever imagined.
I was smitten, enthralled, mesmerized... My heart still longs for the magic that was Moonlight.] Each episode brought another layer to the complex relationships of all the characters.
So, Three Rivers... I so want it to be a hit, but I temper that with wanting another show that I can fall in love with, feel the magic... not always a recipe for success.
