Awww, you guys are going to make everyone get all weepy nostalgic? Oh, okay...
Some pics, then some comments on other posts, and then a bit of Mick trivia that got me to wondering.
Mourning Mick:
Comments on other posts:
OMG,
Coco, the Mick strut in those shades...
And I always loved that outfit, it fits him so... well.
ML,
CBS had a goldmine on their hands, but greed, as always, killed something so beautiful. Yes, I really believe the downfall was brought on by the "corporatization" of Hollywood. Bean counters are in charge now (sorry to the bean counters out there, no offense intended unless you're a Hollywood bean counter
). It was better when the artists were running things. I look at shows like Mad Men and lots of the stuff on HBO and realize that the big difference is that the creative side of the house is allowed the freedom to take risks to tell a great story. Sorry, getting off topic. I know. <<hoping the lovely pics I've posted above will compensate in some way>>
And
ML, if those Mick pics you posted are any indication of how you mourn a loss, please, mourn some more...
(Some random beauties, indeed!) No, I agree, it is a little tough lately, for all of us. I think this is because as the debut of 3R gets closer, the finality sets in (even though we've all known it in our heads for quite awhile now, we also know the head is not always capable of controlling the heart and so emotionally we haven't accepted it yet). I quit "campaigning" long ago, but still haven't accepted in my heart that we won't see more Mick... and yes, that's why we're all here reading fanfic (thanks,
Lunalux!). At least we can keep Mick alive that way. And not to get too far
, but I swear, one of these days I'm going to convince
Guardian Angel to take LL's fanfic and "illustrate" it like she did the ML episodes. I bet she could find the perfect screencap for each of LL's scenes!
Alle, we've
all made that Freudian slip many times! I still think one of the most honest and revealing things Alex ever said was, "I get this guy."
Grace, his pendant... *I loves that too*
Okay, finally, onto the...
Trivia: Found this at Wikipedia when looking up "mickey" (wanted to know the origins of the "spiking a drink" usage - also an interesting read for you ff writers), which led to looking up "Mick" (of course!):
Mick - a commonly used slang term used in rural parts of South Australia to refer to a friend, usually replacing words such as mate, bloke and lad
(according to Wikipedia)
Now, why have our Australian friends here never mentioned this Moonlight coincidence???? Hmmmm???? Are you falling down on us, my friends?
Or are none of you from the "rural parts of South Australia"?
