I know Mick hates being a vampire, but frankly, I find him far preferable to some humans. Jack the Ripper or Mick? Mick! Adolf Hitler or Mick? Mick! There are an awful lot of inhumane humans, and ML gave us a humane vampire. Go figure.
I wonder what kind of vampire Josh would have made. Hmm.....Mick would have been his sire, and I think we can assume he'd do a good job, maybe hit Guillermo up for extra blood for the fledgling in lieu of providing freshies........
