Watching dailies on the 55" flatscreen TV in the loft. On screen, Mick tussles with Martan in Josef's blown up office in "Sleeping Beauty." We watched dailies from "Fleur de Lis" to "Love Lasts Forever" and were just starting "The Mortal Cure" when time ran out. (Maybe next year?!?) Highlights from the dailies:
Fleur de Lis - Alex pausing and apologizing during the restaurant scene with Morgan because his pants was making distracting noises. (!!)
The Ringer - Mick vamping out when Hank Mottola dunks his head under water during their fight (scene was shot during the filming of "Fleur de Lis"). After the first head dunk, Alex is laughing; after the second dunk, he looks a bit nauseous, like water got up his nose; after the third dunk, he is SO ready for this sequence to be over. The first head dunk ended up in the final episode because in the other two, Mick's fleur-de-lis pendant fell into his face, ruining the shots.
Sleeping Beauty - Mick is upset that Beth brought a cameraman to Josef's blown up office. Alex was so into Mick's sorrow and rage over Josef's presumed death that the first several takes had Mick hurling the F-word and Beth and her cameraman, and Alex losing Mick's American accent.
Sleeping Beauty - Mick's fight with Martan in Josef's blown up office. The sequence was shot with Alex fighting Martan's stunt double or Martan fighting Alex's stunt double. The two actors never fought each other directly. That way, if an actor accidentally threw a punch that really connected, "only" a stuntman would get injured.
Love Lasts Forever - Mick's unedited pushup, pull-up, boxing workout sequence is 11 minutes long.
Love Lasts Forever - That scene where Mick overhears Josh and Beth exchanging I-Love-Yous? The full bit is a 5-minute-long super-closeup of Mick's face shot in slow motion.
Love Lasts Forever - Tejada's goon fires some shots at Mick before Mick disarms him with prejudice. Alex waits until the director says "Cut" before saying that he was shot for real (one of the blanks zinged him). Cue crewmembers rushing up to surround him and put towels on his chest.
Love Lasts Forever - Mick busts up Tejada's bar then puts the bite on Tejada. There is so much goodness in each individual shot of that sequence, as well as seeing how all the shots came together, that it's impossible to list them all. You just had to be there.

Trevor Munson spent an hour with us, reading the first 4 chapters of Guardian Angel, signing autographs and just hanging out and chatting. Angel of Vengeance had flashbacks to Mick's meeting and courtship (if that's what you can call it...) of Coraline before he became a vampire. Guardian Angel will have flashbacks to Mick's childhood.
The TV screen behind Trevor just happens to be where we paused the dailies when we ran out of time, but it's the perfect backdrop as it contains both Mick and (a wee bit, albeit fake, of) the Title Guarantee Building.
