Okay here is my opinion on this whole matter.
I want to state for the record that I am first and foremost a Moonlight Fan, however I am also a fan of all the actors from Moonlight and not just one particular actor in general, I think I can safely say that we can all be fans of Alex O'Loughlin, Moonlight and Hawaii Five-0 and still have different opinions it does not have to be one way or the other.
A friend of mine recently wrote about Stopping Bashers and I applaud her for it. At one time not so long ago back in 2007-2008 the fans of the unjustly canceled TV Show Moonlight were once a very strong and very united fanbase sadly these days that isn't case. It's sad really because once upon a time we were all friends we all got along despite different opinions, different views and outlooks there was no personal attacks on each other, no threatening each other or bullying each other of any kind people seemed to respect one another, then we had one bad apple that seemingly ruined the fun for everyone and yes there was alot of hurt involved for all of us because of what this one person did.
Since that time many fans have split into factions that is very evident these days on alot of Moonlight Message Boards and battle lines have seemingly been drawn. There are those who are strictly fans of everything Moonlight(which includes ALL of the actors) and then there are those that are just fans of Alex O'Loughlin that is a fact.
There are some fans from another board that feel that it's their right to come to the Moonlight boards and police the Moonlight Fans that have a different opinions then themselves by launching unprovoked personal attacks, intimidation, threats towards fans that disagree with them which in my estimation is nothing more then bashing and bullying tactics. It's because of this type of behavior that some of the fans that were on some of the Moonlight Message Boards either don't post anymore or don't come to boards at all anymore because of fear of being attached by certain group of fans that attack like a pack of hungry lions circling their prey. This type of behavior by fans is totally unacceptable. It does not help Alex O'Loughlin, Moonlight or Alex's new show Hawaii Five-0 when fans attack one another.
Here is an example of the battle lines between the fans of Moonlight and the Alex Fans last year over at the CBS Three Rivers Forum there was poll asking which show starring Alex O'Loughlin was better Three Rivers or Moonlight. It got pretty ugly over there between the fans many of those posts were just flat out rude and nasty by a group of certain fans towards other fans. I personally feel that they were made just to incite and inflame the already angry tensions that seems to be going on now more the ever between the fans and the many factions that were there to begin with. I am already seeing the same thing happening again now with the Alex Fans and those that support Hawaii Five-0 vs. those fans that still support Moonlight nine months later. So I ask everyone can't we all just get along please.
I have firm belief that you should treat people the way you would want to be treated yourself everyone wants to be treated fairly and with respect, when fans pull this type of vindictive & disrespectful behavior towards each other no matter what side of the fence you are on it reflects badly on the reputations of the shows and the actors involved as well the fans as a whole. I would like to think that nobody would want that for the actors, the shows or themselves.

Another Open Letter To The CBS Executives - Moonlight & Hawaii Five-0 Why Not Give Fans Both To Appease Everyone ?
CBS was indeed the first network to have a show strictly about vampires & humans and was also the first to have a real love story between a vampire and a human. That show was Moonlight. It was CBS that started the latest vampire craze all over again a craze that is still going strong with the success of HBO's True Blood, CW's The Vampire Diaries which like Moonlight 2 years ago won The People's Choice Award for Best New Drama. If you add in the success of the vampire films that have come out since Moonlight's cancellation it's clear to see that the vampire craze has never been more hotter, stronger then it now and is likely not going to end anytime soon. I would like to remind you that it was also CBS who very short-sightedly canceled Moonlight just after 16 episodes when this latest vampire craze was just getting ready to really take off at full force.
As you know Moonlight won The People's Choice Award in 2007 for The Best New Drama. Since it's cancellation fans wrote to Warner Brothers tirelessly and it was released on DVD with just the episodes no extras that normally come with any DVD. Back in 2009 Moonlight The Complete Series was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Series On DVD. Moonlight won that award.
Moonlight had everything that makes a show work. An entire cast who had amazing chemistry together, It had wonderful & gifted writers, beautiful sets, and outstanding music.
For many fans Moonlight was not just about lead actor Alex O'Loughlin bare-chested on a beach like in episode 13 Fated To Pretend. It wasn't just about any one actor or any one thing in particular it was all about the whole show not only Alex O'Loughlin but also Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring, and the rest of the supporting cast, It was the stories each and every week that brought fans back even after the writers strike. It was the entire package of the show that we loved. Even now two years later going on three the fans are still here wanting more they haven't gone away, that should at least say something. Moonlight is still gaining new fans all time because of the repeats that are being shown on the SyFy Channel & ChillerTV and now on the CW where it is being paired with repeats of the Vampire Diaries they all say that they want to see more Moonlight many of these new Moonlight fans can’t understand how they could have missed it when first aired on CBS.
To be perfectly honest with you I would much rather see Alex O'Loughlin back as Mick St. John on Moonlight then see him in a remake of Hawaii-Five-0 but after seeing the promo for this updated version and Alex’s take on McGarrett it does have me curious enough that I will be watching this fall.
Remakes of classic tv shows as rule never do well and I would hate to see another project of Alex’s fail like the medical drama Three Rivers did. I would really like to see Hawaii Five-0 be successful for Alex’s sake. It’s my hope that if Hawaii Five-0 is successful that you would allow Alex O’Loughlin do Moonlight in his down time from Hawaii Five-0 it would be great to see him back in the role that made him a star and gave him such huge overnight success not only here in the USA but internationally.
I know many Moonlight fans old and new would be happy if you could bring Moonlight back as a movie or a series of movies, a mini-series or even a summer series with 12 or 13 episodes.
Moonlight already has a built in fanbase that is just going to keep getting bigger because of the repeats that are being shown. I urge you to bring back Moonlight with it's entire cast Alex O'Loughlin, Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring and the rest of the supporting cast intact, I would also like to request that the original creators Trevor Munson & Ron Koslow be involved because they were the ones with their team of writers that gave fans the characters and episodes that we've come to know and love so much.
Thanks for your time and consideration
