Thanks Red. It only took me 8 months to read the above reply and you answered it well. I also love Mick for all those reasons. Mick is, to me, the best character to ever hit the TV screen. And Alex was the best actor for the job. Alex KNEW who Mick was, inside and out. I know why he took the loss so hard.redwinter101 wrote:Mick is a complex character and I think it is that complexity that makes him attractive. He is the only vampire we saw actually kill anybody on the show (for all Josef's protestations about tar pits); he had a clear set of rules, a moral code that he lived by and it was very definitely not the same as the law of the land. That complexity and rigid adherence to his own vision of what was right and acceptable was what made him such an intriguing character and much more than a one-dimensional hero. He was capable of being a gentleman and a vicious killer - that's interesting to me and I think it played out in numerous ways throughout most of the season.
He did have an idealised view of Beth, of being her guardian angel, and this, like so any other things, affected the way he interacted with her, including in this episode.

It's definitely a rendering, and I always thought it looked more like Gwyneth Paltrow than Holly Valance.librarian_7 wrote:cassy, I went back to confirm my memory, and in the still, that looks like a pencil or charcoal portrait sketch in the watch.

Imagining Gwyneth in that role... (she seems rather irksome to me, for some reason...)

Is there any chance you hired me to find the beautiful Lola so you could cut off her very photogenic head?
