Beginners guide to Mick St. John's facial expressions

Wasn't episode 7 so very good? As in quite un-guilty way? I really liked Coraline and the way Mick shed his good-guy composure around her. Mick going to the dark side –please bring more of it! And Josef is gathering more depth which is awesome too..

Something I wanted to do for quite a while – don't you think Alex O'Loughlin has one of the best ranges of facial expressions in the history of EVER? And they all deserve to be remembered?

My favourite facial expression of Mick's so far: Cute un-haunted look of pre-vampire days




"A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction." ~Oscar Wilde
"The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions." ~Cicero
"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." ~Victor Hugo

And here it is:
Autobiography of 85-years of life of Mick St.John (as portrayed by his face)

1. Paper cut of angst (by [livejournal.com profile] endlessdeep)



2. My wife drives me crazy!!! I can't stop sniffling her!



3. Fighting and in a good shape. Young whipper-snappers are for the win over old-timers!



4. He just has seen a ghost. Alert!! Alert!!



5. His past always comes to haunt him



6. Rather annoyed. He wishes he killed you the first time round.



7. Brooding. About not killing you the first time round.



8. Gobsmacked. The world just has started turning the other way, can't you feel it?




9. Wistful and in love. "She only comes to seduce me when she is under the influence of drugs. NOT FAIR!!!"



10. Stoically heroic. "I am gonna save the world. TOMORROW!"



11. Staked.



12. So very tempted, in a gentleman-like manner.



13. So very impressed by the way you look. "Come HITHER!"



14. Dying (and in love). Or dying from love. Or something like that



15. Longing and lonesome tonight.



16. Please don't nag me. Or I'll bite you



17. Lying face. Vampires are very bad at this.



18. YUMMY! In unconnected - I love Mick's ring



19. Embarrassed but relieved.



20. Kinda worried about your sanity



21. Driving. And breaking "Highway Code"..



22. Sceptical. One of the faces reserved entirely for Josef.



23. Gentle eyeroll (all Josef's too)



24. Boys bonding together



25. Brow-rise. Don't try to do this at home.



26. Bad boy vampire



27. She is jealous!!!! (insert inner squee here )



28. Cute un-haunted look of pre-vampire days.



29. Smile of open soul and prime steak reminiscing



30. "Some more kissing?? Pleeeeeeeeese??"



31. "OMPH! She kissed me! I am so happy!"




PS Which is your favourite facial expression of Mick's?

Mick is my "first love" on this show - I fell in love instantly, at the beginning of the pilot when he softly said "You tell me.." to Beth's question if she knows him.. But I like Josef very much too.

oh i know what you mean..... although the first three eps are kinda fuzzy for me - i was still "trying it on".... it got to #4, and that was it, i was hooked.

but i've liked Mick since the beginning, despite his similarities to my first-ever tv boyfriend, Nick Knight. :D

Oh , yes! My favourite common plot twist in vampire movies - it was done to perfection!! Mick was gorgeous when dying!

but then again, Alex/Mick is always gorgeous....

I agree wholeheartedly! There is something - may be vulnerability, may be gentleman-likeness that together with "OMPH! So wonderful" looks make him irresistible!

You see - in the UK I only get to see "Moonlight" on Saturday (and I store "Supernatural" often too) so weekends are safe! The middle of the week is when it hits me.. :D
