Although Alex O’Loughlin has moved on to CBS’ Three Rivers, Moonlight, and his portrayal of vampire P.I. Mick St. John, is never far from his heart or the hearts of his fans. To this end, SciFi TV Zone is presenting a four part episode guide to Moonlight that features Alex’s comments on each of the 16 episodes making up the series. Look for parts two through four on Mondays for the next three weeks.
尽管Alex投入了3R的拍摄，但《血色月光》和他刻画的吸血鬼形象从未远离过他和影迷们的心。为此，SciFi TV Zone 发布了一个分为四部分的导读，配上Alex对《血色月光》每一集的评论。第二至第四部分将于未来三周的周一发布。
For his part, O’Loughlin remains proud of what the show accomplished and what it represents. “I got to be a part of a story I really liked,” he says. “And I’ve always wanted to play a vampire since I was a kid, and that’s not something that will necessarily happen again in my life. It was just a great fit and a great experience. It was also a stressful experience. We were under budget, we were always fighting for everything we needed. We weren’t the golden child at all, we were the one that had to constantly present reasons not to be shut down.
对于Alex的部分，他对这部剧成就的和代表的东西感到很自豪。“我成为了我真正喜欢的故事的一部分，”他说。“从我是个小孩的时候我就一直想演一个吸血鬼，而且这不是一件注定会再次发生在我生命中的事了。这只是一次非常棒的组合与经历。它也是一段紧张的经历。我们在预算之内，我们总是为我们需要的奋斗着。我们不是天生的幸运儿，我们不得不不断提出不被砍掉的原因。
“It was wonderful to fight for someting and keep it alive for longer than it otherwise would have been,” he continues. “It’s great to be a part of a success, even if it was for only a season. The thing is, we were able to tell some really important stories. It wasn’t just about these monstrous creatures and sexual romps. What we went for constantly is the big truth, for the human truth, the human story and that’s the reason we make films in the first place. We didn’t always hit it, but I feel that from time to time we did and that’s why we held on to the audience, because they sensed that truth.”
“为一些东西而奋斗并使它得以长久的保留下来是很棒的，”他继续说道。“成为成功的一部分是很好的，即使它只有一季。重要的是，我们能讲述一些真的非常重要的故事。这不仅仅是关于这些怪异的生物和性游戏。我们不断追寻的是这个重要的真理，人类的真理，人类的故事。这就是我们最初拍电影的原因。我们并不总是切中要害，但是我能感到我们一次又一次的做到了，这也是为何我们能抓住观众，因为他们感觉到了那种真理。”
第一集“No Such Things As Vampire”
The episode was actually shot twice, its original pilot differing drastically from the final episode, particularly in the fact that with the exception of Alex O’Loughlin, the entire cast was changed.
这一集实际上拍了两次。原来那集与后来的彻底不同，事实上特别是除了Alex之外的演员全部换人。
“The rhythm, tonally, changed pretty dramatically,” says O’Loughlin. “You put new actors in and new stuff is going to happen. They also changed the age of the characters. For instance, Josef [Mick’s best friend, also a vampire] changed from 65 to 25, which is a dramatic shift. Plotwise, there were a bunch of ideas in the unaired pilot that we stretched across a couple of episodes.
“节奏、基调，戏剧化的改变了，”Alex说。“你加进新的演员，新的元素。他们还改了角色的年龄。比如，Josef的年龄从65岁改到25岁，真是个戏剧性的转变。在情节方面，有大量的想法并没有出现在这一集中，我们将其融入了之后几集中。”
“I think the final pilot episode felt compartmentalized,” he adds, “because we had to set our mythology up, to set up our rules. It couldn’t be 44 minutes of exposition and rule setting, so there had to be a story in there as well. But we had to set up this new myth of vampires, this new world of vampires and we had to introduce the primary characters. So we had a fair bit of work to cram into the first episode, which I think we did successfully.”
“我认为最终播出的这集是独立的几个部分，”他补充道，“因为我们不得不使我们神话化，去制定我们的规则。这不会是一个44分钟的展览会，规则建立起来，所以这也需要有个故事穿插其中。但是我们不得不建立新的吸血鬼神话，这个新的吸血鬼世界，而且，我们还得介绍主要角色。所以，我们将一些说明性的东西塞入了第一集，我觉得我们做得很成功。”
