we get a lovely Danny Kaye/Court Jester ref.
Could you spell it out for someone who never saw CJ?
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

All that rhyming stuff about the wine labels was like a bit in the CJ regarding a poisoned flagon of wine.
From the imdb:
Hawkins: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Hawkins: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Griselda: Just remember that.

You know what the first episode of the us Being Human reminded me?
Of how bad the first few episodes of the original were. Seriously - they probably should have started differently.
And of course, Sam Witwer is very pretty. Very pretty - but can he do the thing when Aidan becomes dangerous? I still have that question.

Thanks, Frank!
Being Human: I watched the ep last night, but don't see the point in continuing when I've seen it before. Even the preview at the end made it seem like they were just rehashing the UK stories.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I don't think Witwer will have trouble with dangerous. It's the chummy jocularity with Josh that he's falling flat on so far. So many missed opportunities when talking him into the roomie situation, in front of the landlord, during the housecleaning montages, etc. He really only made that connection in the scene where he picked Josh up from the park, and if he hadn't managed a bit of levity when faced with Sam Huntington in a flower print dress I'd have started wondering if the actor was one of the undead as well.

It's true: this version of Being Human doesn't get the comedy. Timing is difficult.

Dying is easy; comedy is hard.

To be fair, the pilot of The Middleman felt off to me. It took a few episodes for the actors to get used to Javi's style of dialog and get their timing down, but once they did, it was hilarious.

All is well that ends in pizza.
