But...Annie. Why did she have to be the one left behind?
Agreed. She's just annoying. I'd have been happy with either of the others. Am two episodes behind but I'm not sure I really care.
With regards to same-sex marriage, the UK only has civil partnerships - no actual marriage yet. The key thing at the moment is that the government intends to pass a law allowing same-sex civil marriage. The churches (of various denominations) are being absolutely appalling about it. Waking up every other morning to some random archbishop telling me I'm singlehandedly responsible for the imminent collapse of British society is just so much fun. Still, if all goes well we should be able to get a marriage upgrade soon. SeskaAndTheGirl 2.0
Some gay rights people thought the 'civil partnership' compromise was a silly fudge from the start, especially since nobody ever calls it anything but 'marriage' in casual conversation.
Quite. That and the fact that civil partnerships confer exactly the same rights as marriage (which is where the churches are sounding completely bonkers right now). We don't think of ours as anything less than a marriage.
BH ramped up the plot with the newest ep. gotta say, i believe Hal as a menacing badass vampire more than i ever did Mitchell.
What, no commentary on the finale?
I will admit that I spent much of the episode saying, "Hi, Mark!" every time he came onscreen.
Then, you know, "Bye, Mark!"
Semi-relatedly, this (without the makeup) is now my headcanon for Mycroft in his less benevolent moods.
I like the new ghost girl. She is reasonably interesting, distinctly not Annie, and looks to be relating interestingly to the boys.
I've just seen one. There are 5 episodes total to this season. True?
just finished watching, Debet! i'm definitely loving the Tom/Hal/Alex dynamic.
i'm good with Annie finally moving on too.
Tom has did not impress me last season or in the first episode. He strikes me as a decent guy, and tough on the bad guys, but with an occasional loutish streak due to isolated upbringing. As the season progresses, does he show more than that?
oh definitely. ep 3 is gold.
What, no commentary on the finale?
Didn't hate it. Still found myself wondering what it would have been like with Mitchell in the will-he-go-evil-or-won't-he role, as was presumably the original plan for this season. But Hal has grown on me.
A bit surprised that they had Annie go through her door without much comment, after a season spent on how awful it was for her in the other place. Was it just supposed to be better now that she'd found her own door?
I quite like the new character line-up (assuming they're planning future seasons - I wonder what the ratings have been like this season).
Do we need to white font? It has aired on BBC AND BBC U.S.
I absolutely agree with the plot hatred. My other comments follow in white font just in case.
I think the whole point of the time twisting was to provide Annie with a reason compelling enough to make her kill an innocent baby. "Being Human" at its best is character driven. That may be why having a character act so out of character that time travel is required to force the action results in a really awful plot.
Also, from the white light that Annie was going into I gathered she was heading into heaven rather than purgatory. Maybe that is a misread.
