Moonlight Resurrection?

I will never understand why fabulous television shows are canceled after one season (or in the case of Firefly before the first season has even ended!). Moonlight originally aired one season back in 2007 before the vampire craze and although it had a loyal fan base the networks gave it the axe.
Now with the cancellation of Three Rivers lead actor Alex O'Loughlin may be available for the series. With the current viewing appetite for paranormal romance, especially those projects involving vampires, it would stand to reason that Moonlight could be resurrected. This is one viewer that would love the chance to see season 2!

Night of the Wolf Moon

Tonight is the 2010 Wolf Moon. The Farmer's Almanac explanation of the Wolf Moon is as follows: January amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January's full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.
Hmmm....I wouldn't mind seeing this Wolf or the Wolf Pack in the sky tonight!

Exile by E.J. Stevens

Legs bound with cold iron

So you cannot flee

Wings wrapped in a glamour

For no human eyes to see

Stranded in the mortal realm

No magic to sustain your youth

A terrible price to pay

For seeking out the truth

Exiled from all Sidhe lands

Sent far from kith and kin

Judged by both Seelie courts

Guilty of our greatest sin.
