I've been watching it for six weeks now. At first I was pretty sceptical about my interest level in the show given the premise - that being a detective who keeps re-living the same horrible day over and over a la Groundhog Day. Even during the pilot I wasn't sure I could get into a show that gave no explanation for the plausibility of the premise. I mean how the fuck do you keep living the same day over and over again? It seems like a pretty BIG thing to accept. The nearest thing to an explanation is the syringe injected into Hopper's neck, which is as good as Rafael Palmeiro's explanation for steroids being found in his system: "Although I never intentionally put a banned substance into my body, the independent arbitrator ruled that I had to be suspended under the terms of the program." I personally think some boggyman doped him up because he is Cuban, how else could the 'roids be in his system???.....Okay, well back to Day Break, the thing is if you haven't noticed I'm big on stuff like plausibility. But it didn't take long and those questions faded as the violence and intrigue grew, and the welcome presence of that girl we got to see wake up beside Hopper every morning.
Yeah, a lot of face time from Moon Bloodgood helped soothe my analytical mind. In fact I'll be honest, she is actually the real reason I brought up Day Break. The show is going off the air soon because the masterminds at ABC have decided to cancel it for two comedy sitcoms. I am not sure why they decided this but you need to check it out just to see Moon in action. She is worth it. As far as ABC cancelling it: The decision is curious given the resources they poured into this drama. I'm actually kinda pissed about the whole thing. Its like giving candy to a child, and then taking it back before they are finished. Its inhumane really. And as a result ABC has ZERO credibility with me right now. This fact probably REALLY upsets them, but the next time they ask me to put time into one of their dramas the answer will be: NO!
Okay the exception will be when they cast Moon Bloodgood for another role. This gorgeous woman has been waiting to break out for awhile. Her most notable role up to Day Break was in Eight Below as a girlfriend to the character played by Paul Walker. My younger sibling actually owns this film, so before posting on her, I decided to fast forward through it - you see this is the type of research I do to bring the edge to my reports - anyways, she is pretty hot (the film is not a classic, in case you were wondering). To give her credit she isn't only eye candy on Day Break, she actually does a good job as the girlfriend to Hopper (Taye Diggs), but those are secondary issues at this point. To me the real issue is how am I going to get my hands on that CSI episode where she appears as a stripper? I mean do I really have to buy the 2003 season on DVD? Can't somebody YouTube it! Please!
Other notable information about her:- Former Lakers cheerleader
- Engaged to Eric Balfour (Actor and lead singer of the band Fredalba)
- Is of Dutch, Irish Korean descent
BTW - that whole Balfour engagement reflects badly on her. I bet you couldn't place Balfour off the top of your head. Me neither. But four words: Eddie off the O.C. Remember that douche? Theresa's fiancee, a nemesis of Ryan Atwood. But you know I hear that band Fredalba is really taking off...Oh and he also appeared in the music video "Fergalicious."
Awesome.
