Re: 1st Season Moonlight - Fated to Pretend - 5 star poll - SPOILERS AHOY !

I'm not clear on why, in "Moonlight", it's bad to be a vampire. It 
clearly doesn't stop one from being a good person. Mick seems to have a 
psychopathology about it. In this episode he alluded to "sucking human 
blood" as the worst part about being a vampire, but we know a vampire 
doesn't have to suck blood to stay live. A vampire must simply consume 
blood, and it doesn't even have to be human. No one has to suffer. 
Other disadvantages of vampires include not tolerating extended bouts 
of sunlight, some sort of inability to appreciate food, and... what?

Compared to immense improvements in sight, hearing, strength, healing, 
and (above all) life span, those problems seem minor. I'd choose to be 
a vampire in a second.
