Moonlight: Human Touch

[alexandral]

The episode 1.11 "Sleeping Beauty" made my shippy and otherwise heart bounce with joy (and many times!). But I am slightly concerned with Mick's fast changes of heart, though. Yesterday Coraline, today Beth. I am a Mick/Beth shipper but may be I am contrary? Because the fact that Mick was not really that much worried about Coraline laying on her death bed and tried his best to elicit the information he wanted notwithstanding her quite poorly state made me rather sad. :P

But of course the episode was all about Josef and Jason Dohring was absolutely wonderful when in love. I am quite positive that if the show lasts Sarah will awake. And may be she and Beth will become friends and Beth will help Sarah to adjust in the new world? And they all can have a two-pairs' friendship?

My admiration of Beth is growing with each episode. She really wanted to stay with Mick in NYC, didn't she? And most likely this would have led to something quite serious between them. But because she didn't want to start it with Mick without finishing it properly with Josh she declined Mick's very persuasive invitations. I think this is great, even through we were deprived of "Mick and Beth in NYC" scene. :D



Isn't this a season of good will and peace? I am feeling very festive, cheery and mellow and not snarky at all. So let's talk about things of love and beauty!!!!! Let's share the "Moonlight" love and be as cheesy as we can!!!!!!! I wish you all very happy holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all need to be touched

"Yes, I do touch. I believe everyone needs that" Diana Princess of Wales
" At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet" Plato

We, humans, need each other. We can't exist on our own. Often we hate and envy and don't care but the biggest fear of our lives is to be lonely. We need this – a smile of a stranger, a friendly word, a touch. We can say so much by just one touch..

We can express our concern and care with a touch of our hand: "Hey, how are you?"



And we can take a great comfort from a friend's hug, even when our life is shattered to pieces.



We can hold each other as if nothing else matters, just the two of us. The Earth is spinning but for us it stopped.



Sometimes "I am sorry" and "thank you" are better said without words



And sometimes "I love you" is just a friend's joking punch.



We risk our life for each other because what is our life without his or her touch?



But also we kill, and murder, and hurt others. With our hands



And with the same hands we heal and help.



Because if all the Universe is against us, at least we can be there for each other.



And if we lose at least we can give.



And sometimes we touch each other without any reason, just because we feel a need to do so.



Because there is a connection between us, invisible to others but for us so real that nothing else is more real. Our love, our happiness, our trust.



It keeps us glued together as Siamese twins.



Because we belong to each other: our hands, our glances, our beings.



We wish this moment could last forever.



You and me, twin destinies.



The Sun and Moon, the beginning and the end.



He is mine and I am his.

I am so glad you liked - the last episode put me in a soft mood. So much love! Josef has opened as a flower. :D I watched some spoilers but still - I wasn't prepared for him to be so emotional..

[bakednudel.livejournal.com]

OK, this is crazy--because I teared up reading your picspam--and I did NOT watching the episode!

Thanks! *puts in memories*

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, the last episode makes me all teary and emotional.. I can see now why they stopped for the holiday break after this episode. It is so warming!!!

I had the impression from this ep that Mick was more interested in getting Coraline's secret about reverting to mortality than he was in her actually not dying because he was worried about HER.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I felt the same - and for someone who just yesterday was so happy Coraline came back (remember the scene in the shower?) this was rather un-thoughtful. :D May be Mick just felt that if Coraline survived the big fire she will survive this too??

As the Buffyverse was, this show is all about the hands. Very pretty pictures, thanks for posting.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

And this presses my biggest secret "buttons", all at once.. I am so much about hands too - I think in Russia people are generally much more "tactile" (I could be wrong, but it feels as if people in the UK are much more reserved)..

[iansmomesq.livejournal.com]

<333333333333 That made me feel all better, thanks. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I hope everything will get better really soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[earlgrayhot.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you .. that was lovely and made my heart sing! Even with the nastiness outside and the temperatures dropping this post made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside ;)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, is it very cold across the pond??? It is so cold here too. I am so glad I am off work this week and can perpetually stay under the duvet re-watching "Moonlight"..

I am so glad you liked the post - this episode was so wonderful. A true "Christmas" episode for me.. :D

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

awesome post!! :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEE! Thank you! I just liked the episode so much! As petzipellepingo said it was so much about hands and I liked so many things about it. (I liked Mick's crying, he is so hot when crying :D)

[timescout.livejournal.com]

Aaawwwww.... that was so pretty... and heartwarming! You got me all misty-eyed with it too. I need to watch this ep again....

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I am so much in love with Mick's hands! (and all of Mick, of course). I cried three times during this episode: when Mick cried, when Josef told his story and at the very end too. This was my favourite episode of "Moonlight" up to now..

[diapadme.livejournal.com]

*le big sigh*
I love you. This is utterly beautiful! I'm going to save this to my favourites. I adore the words you used and of course the brilliant screencaps of the this episode! Just beautiful.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Wasn't it a great episode? Josef became a totally new person for me..

[lincolnimp.livejournal.com]

:D i just finished watching last weeks episode ^^ the last scene was just awwwww
love your picspams :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I have unashamedly watched it 5 times already and this was my favourite episode up to now. SO much love between everyone! Who would have thought Josef has it in him!

[fotometria.livejournal.com]

This is so wonderful. :') It's going to my memories.
And I'll add you if you don't mind. My name is Diana. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you liked! Thank you! I have added you too..

[vered26.livejournal.com]

Lots of unadulterated sappiness!!! I love it. Just what I needed today. HUGS!!! The picspam rocks! <3

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked! The last episode pushed all my favourite buttons at once . All I could do was squee.. JOSEF! MICK! BETH! SARA!!!!!

[skyeeblu.livejournal.com]

That was great.. Sleeping Beauty was by far my fav episode. It was just so good it touched my heart strings and so did your post.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!!! This was my favourite episode too - it was the episode where I jumped from liking to complete adoration with Josef. SO MUCH GOODNESS!

This is soo beautiful.

Oh, Jason Dohring made me cry as a baby. The depths of Josef's character that I never thought are there? His friendship with Mick (remember that little smile he gave him when Mick was furious with Josef for putting J's life in danger?) Oh my poor heart!

[michellemtsu.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous. I love it.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you! This episode was my favourite in this season. Everyone seems to have their souls "poured out"..

[endlessdeep.livejournal.com]

OMG! You made me cry. lol. That was beautiful. I love the Sun and the Moon part because I always think of Beth as the Sun and Mick as the Moon.

Wasn't that last scene with Mick asking Beth to go do something in New York with him just wonderful? I just thought he was so much like the 1940's 50's guy the way he asked her...and a steak for the lady. So cute. The way they look at each other takes my breath away. *sigh*

This show is killing me, but in a good way. ;)

Oh and Eeeeeeee! you rock! Thanks so much for doing this. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I cried at least three times during this episode. Oh, "Moonlight! What are you doing to me!

It seems that for Mick all the obstacles between him and Beth are gone. If JOSEF could do it, why not him? Oh, poor Mick, why are you torturing yourself so much!

I also thought that when Mick invited Beth to go to a jazz club he may be meant he'll sing for her?? Oh, what a miss! But I was rather proud with Beth that she felt she has to finish properly with Josh before starting it with Mick..

[sarisynn.livejournal.com]

This was such a lovely lovely post. I in fact just finished watching the ep... I loved it SO MUCH. It had so much going on, it was wonderful. Your post just leaves me SO SPEECHLESS.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much! "Moonlight" never fails to deliver new emotional heights, doesn't it? Who would have thought I'll be so in love with the show - I was quite skeptical at first..

[rogue-missy.livejournal.com]

Ohh, that was beautiful. I always love when my ships have even the smalllest of touches. I think it's absolutely precious and beautiful. Great post!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I agree - for me it is quite wonderful when a relationship develops slowly without jumping to the "conclusion" too soon. but it is "just me"..

[elegantwhisper.livejournal.com]

it was a great episode, indeed.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

So much love all around - I wonder what they have in store for us in the next two episodes!

[micksvamptramp.livejournal.com]

The hands trying to touch through the window....the disapointment on Mick's face...the longing..the angst....

I might just die right here.

But on another note, could Alex/Mick's hands possibly be any bigger? It just boggles the imagination, if you know what I mean.

I also have a big thing about Mick's ring. :D
