I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

Let's see, that's past the "I can't breathe, Will" sobbing on the bed with Willow scene, right? and moving on to the "I've gotten past the "Buffy gets one perfect high school moment"" part. Leading up to the vote of School Protector (after killing the hell hounds, alone in the dark and having to dress for the prom in a ladies' room somewhere, she finally gets validation from all the obnoxious kids who've been ignoring her for years!), and then the surprise appearance of Angel in a tux, and the slow dance to Wild Horses, and then there I am, destroyed again. Yes, that episode just does terrible things to me.

Yep. I missed the "I can't breathe" bit. Which I am both sad and grateful for.

I definitely need more Armin Shimerman in my shows. He needed a bigger role in this one, though.

Is anyone still watching Being Human? I have 4 eps on my tivo, and I'm just not motivated to watch them. I mean, I have some stuff that when I get around to watching it, I really enjoy it. But, BH isn't doing it for me. I'm tired of George whining, I've never liked Annie, and the Mitchell as head vamp thing doesn't make any fucking sense. Does it get better?

I'm still watching Being Human and Mitchell has killed (a cop), George's ex is being held by the crazy people who they kind of introduced at the end of last season, Mitchell is dating the woman who is the evil scientist who works for that group.

Also, we're heading into the finale. Should be a week from Saturday.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I watched the season in UK time. The end of the season got interesting, IMO, and I got irritated with them for a while, but, after the end of the season, I'll watch next season. I'm not totally enthralled, like I was at the beginning, but I'll be watching next season.

I've caught up. Sort of OK. The evil scientist group has a half a point with vampires. The mad homeless vampire woman kills two girls at the mall and she gets a hard slap? It seems like all the vampires are serial killers, no exceptions. If mean it is one thing to attend an AA meeting and say: "I drank a bottle of scotch last night but not I've got 12 hours back."

"I killed two girls last night but now I've got 12 hours back" does not have the same ring. Not that the Scientists aren't evil treacherous religious fanatics. But so far there has not been one case of a vampire we've seen who has avoided killing indefinitely. (Maybe the boy Mitchell turned, but I'm guessing he eventually kills his Mother.)

And Annie is written way to broadly. A lot of her bits are straight out bad sit-com material. I think she is acted well, but character is written to swing from tragic victim to over-eager social klutz to broad farce in way that is both irritating and unbelievable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm still watching. I guess I'm not enthralled, but I'm interested. I like George getting ragey rather than whiny, though I don't care for his insta-family gambit. It's just dumb, but not out of character. I don't care about the vampires as a whole, but I want to find out what happens to Mitchell personally. I don't mind Annie so much, but I'm not clear on what the point of her is. The ghost community she's sort of got now has potential - I really liked the guy who taught her how to close doors. The business with the doctor and the religious guy, I don't know, I'm reserving judgment for now.

I hope we get more Mitchell flashbacks - they are fun.
