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?

Nope, eight.
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.
Oh my goodness, no posts for more than two months?
Greetings Internationals! (I actually started to type Supernaturals...which is admittedly cool)
I'm wondering if anyone watched Sinbad, or has read any reviews that reach past the first episode to suggest whether or not it gets any better.
I was extremely disappointed and was then shocked that it has gotten 13 episodes! I can think of other Brit shows I wish had gotten the funding Sinbad obviously did.
Perhaps the first episode set ups will pay off, but the set pieces were incredibly long and boring. Such a waste.
I haven't seen any Sinbad, but I did ahem the first of the BBC "Hollow Crown" Shakespeare adaptations, and watched Richard II last night.
It was gorgeous. Also very capably acted, with Ben Wishaw, Patrick Stewart, James Purefoy, and David Suchet in all the major roles. And stunningly shot, staged, and costumed. I can't wait to see the rest, since Jeremy Irons is Henry IV as an old man, and Tom Hiddleston is Henry V. It looks really promising.
