Two: Knowledgeable Critics? They are TV journalists and bloggers. I am a newspaper journalist myself although I have taken to other things in recent years. Guess that would make me every bit was qualfied to offer an opinion. I am not saying I anticpate a success or a failure I am just saying that it is too soon to say either way since the show hasn’t even aired AND fan bases are not even being considered. I have admitted it could fail but to dwell on negative reviews gives momentum to that idea. The law of attraction…

Three: Having actor centric fans will keep an actor working. I think your issue is that you only want him “working” as Mick St. John. I do not share that opinion. I may not be a teenager at a rock concert but there is nothing wrong with fans that are. Show-centric fans are more likely to get nowhere… how many fan groups for defunct TV shows are still out there… lots I would guess. There is nothing wrong with it, just saying that actor-centric fans are more likely to get what they want… their actor in more roles.

Four: I started this blog after seeing Alex in Moonlight yes. I had a choice between starting a Moonlight fan site or an Alex fan site. I realized that I was attracted to the leading male star more than the overall show… hence AOLO. I did not want to cover the other actors in the show and really could care less about them still.

I have not made any anti-Moonlight comments. My pro-TR and pro-TBUP comments are being perceived by you and other die hard Moonlighters as a Moonlight slight. That just isn’t so. Or maybe you disagree with the fact that I like other vampire shows more than I liked Moonlight. I get vocal in support of these other shows when Moonlighters come here to bash them.. that is just tacky and it bothers me. Either way it seems I am anti-Moonlight if I am not obsessed with the show. Maybe I am anti-negativity.

Two: I am not one of the Knowledgeable Critics who are saying that Three Rivers will fail… They know more than you or I put together…so I feel they know something more than we do!

Three: Being actor-centric will get no one anything they want…Most fans concentrate on the whole picture afterall we are no longer teenager screaming at a rock concert now, are we?

Four: You had begun this blog because of Moonlight, but many times I, as well as others, have noted your shying away from the reason the blog was formed with anti-Moonlight remarks, especially against fans who still honor it as it was, a phenomenal show which will live on in memory until something constructive on film can be achieved and honored…

Most Moonlight fans will watch TR, but not with a sour face… Many who are not even Moonlight fans, or new ML fans accumulated due to the showing on the SCI-FI Channel, all feel this show’s morbid nature…Yes, other med shows showed a death storyline, but not the fact that someone had to die to save someone else’s life…It is too sad a scenario for fans to watch week in and week out… I also feel CBS also knows this but TR was only their 3rd choice for a Fall pick, so it is quite obvious they are not too much in favor of the show surviving and then before it gets out of the starting gate, with other season premieres & new shows, it is postponed for some reality fiasco show (Sorry Survivor is as phony as a show can get… I watched a few times and can tell you that most of those competitors are actors trying to get a foot in the door of acting) that is not true entertainment at all…

Anyway, I am not the one being negative. I have read many say they will boycott the show because they are holding a grudge about Moonlight. Others say they will watch but say they hope it will fail and relish telling others how it is doomed. Everyone is entitled to their feelings but it has no place on an Alex fan site.. which very much IS actor centric.

YES, I love the show Moonlight. This site was started due to Moonlight. I will always be a Moonlight fan… that has very little to do with TR though. Why are you even bringing it up… it is almost as though supporting TR is not permissable to Moonlighters. Why is that? LOL. Should I watch TR with a sour face so I can be back in the “club”?

TR may in fact fail but I will feel lucky to have 13-22 episodes with Alex in them. And I don’t feel that the concept is too morbid. How many people died on ER? LOTS! One of the most horrific, heart wrenching TV moments I can think of took place on ER when Dr. Greene died. Cold Case has someone dying in each and every episode but yet that show is popular. TR has just as many things going for it as not… Alex of course, Henney (who has a HUGE Asian following), Kate (who also has many fans) etc. It has an ethnically diverse cast which is great for bringing in all kinds viewers. Who knows if it will last but I CHOOSE to remain positive. A minimum of 13 weeks of Alex can never be a bad thing.

His show is also going up against some tried & true shows on ABC and with the fact that CBS is holding back its premiere, people will already be involved with the new season on those ABC show… CBS is putting a reality show in where TR should be premiering;this is not saying much for CBS’s loyalties to Alex, now is it? Survivor gets premiere billing week before a new show???? NOT, shows only disrespect for all in that show & all Alex fans… Myself, I loathe phony reality shows…if you watch one, you’ve got the concept of them all….

The negativity I am feeling from you Tiffany surprises me because you ran all things Moonlight during that campaign… You were all gung ho & all for it not being canceled, so how can you be so blaze about it now? Above is s hideous picture of supposed love…and a hot couple… I see something fiendish, not sexy… Mick 7 beth were truly sexy…

And as far as the critics posting the failure of TR has not a darn thing with anyone here putting any form of negativity or bad luck on Alex’s new show… These critics are not basing their reviews on that pilot but the whole morbid scenario of such a show to the viewing audience… No way can anyone present show after show about transplants & not realize that someone’s death had to precede the organ donation… It will not be Alex’s fault if this show fails but the whole concept of mortality; one does not tune into a show so they can be faced with the stark reality of the future… One watches TV or a movie for relaxation & to get away from reality… Reality and our own mortality comes soon enough…I should know, lost loved ones too dear to me including my 9 year old son…So do not attempt to proclaim this and that anyone, TR is too serious a show to air on TV, perhaps one movie, but not weekly TV…

Yes, it was me that said that a few months ago. I never lie so I don’t plan to lie now. I was only just repeating what I have physically saw with my own two eyes. My personal feelings will have nothing to personally do with the ratings. I have no super powers that can boost or down grade ratings. I am not a nielson house, so my viewing choices are not being counted. I also said I will watch to support Alex, but it is not a show that interest me. And, several critics said the same thing. I am not a 12 year old to verbally spar with you Tiffany. I am above that. I live in America where I am affored my freedom of speech.
Retract you claws. they are not appreciated or necessary.

Before the show airs is a bit soon to be writing it off but then again wasn’t it you that said a couple month ago you hope TR does fail because you are mad about Moonlight? If all of Alex’s fans are so negative then it WILL fail. Your comments have made it clear that is what you want so Alex can go back to Moonlight with his tail between his legs.

The fans can make TR a sucess… if they “want” to.

It would sure put NT in her place that’s for sure. No ill will to Alex an any way what so ever, but being the crazed Moonlight fan I am. I’m really pulling for the movie and write letters weekly.
