Fleur de Lis episode - Huge Ripoff of The Conversation

Wow I've seen the Conversation but never made the connection, so it didn't bother me. Well, it was a good movie, so it was nice to see that plot in Moonlight. You know, plots on TV shows usually aren't that logical or interesting....and that's most TV shows. You honestly can't expect that much from a TV show that has to wind up a plot 45 minutes and also include characterization, humor and action all in the same 45 minutes. I wouldn't judge too harshly.

I remember back when this episode first aired, it caught my boyfriend's attention and he laughed, "hey look, they're doing The Conversation!" And he proceeded to point out and explain all the parallels to me since I'd never seen it. He even said, "If they're sticking to it, then xyz is about to happen...", and then it did!

A flurry of discussion then ensued on this board, and I vaguely remember one lengthy post (perhaps from one of the writers?) that the intent was to pay homage to The Conversation, and then went on to describe a bunch of well thought-out/planned parallels that were - as Adam Duritz would say - "Very very meaningful."

Too bad the post is long gone. Although people had complaints about the purported plagiarism, the writeup seemed to provide insight or at least another viewpoint of the script and the choices that were made.
