Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Either way -- I think this is AWESOME! Not that I wouldn't have liked to see the characters again, but what a way to keep it fresh. Also love that we may see some of the same actors in different roles. Am loving this whole concept

I'm going to miss the old characters, but I'm very excited to see what they come up with next.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I've generally liked genre anthology shows, so I'm looking foward to what they do next.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It might also help keep Ryan Murphy out of the rut where he ends up just throwing stuff at a show to keep things fresh.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I remember reading that the creator of Heroes originally wanted to start with a whole new cast every season, and it retrospect, it may have been a better idea.

More details about the new "Being Human":

I had no idea that certain cast members have left before Season 4 has even begun!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tovey's not one of them, BTW. He leaves midseason.

The replacements look entirely replacey. Worse than Misfits. I am paralysed with not caring.

...And a postscript, from the BBC's announcement of new drama projects.

The focus on BBC1 drama also came with the admission that the commitment to drama on BBC3 would be downgraded, with either Being Human or Lip Service axed after their next series or no recommission for The Fades.

So it doesn't look as if there's a lot to play for.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Wha? No more Fades? Really? Wha?

No!

That is some of the darkest shit I have ever seen and they aren't renewing it?

The BBC is having to take quite a serious financial hit at the moment. The (little-watched) digital channels and BBCTHREE in particular are shouldering some fairly hefty cutbacks. Hence the cancellation of Doctor Who Confidential, for example.

As I understand it, at the moment either BH OR the Fades OR Lip Service will get the axe, but right now it isn't clear which.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
