When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Crap, now I'm actually going to have to watch this beyond the pilot. Well, if there is more than just the pilot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh god, I hate this episode of Being Human. I mean, the one this is obviously cribbing from. I was never convinced by how they came back from it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I only remember the broad outlines of the original episode. I like the basic idea of people thinking they are different kinds of monsters than the literal monsters they are, but I don't recall how it resolved in the neighborhood.
Anyway, what stood out for me in tonight's episode is that I am not liking Sally.

The mother obviously changes her mind, because her son ends up being vamped to save his "life", but what of the rest of the neighbourhood?
I actually liked Sally more this week than before. Her getting that Josh was going through hell made a difference to me.
However, I was a little O_o at Norah saying she doesn't like that kinda sex regularly. Cmon! Live a little. Okay, that's judgy. But she's essentially turning down Sam Winchester here, and that makes no sense.

So, I'm not just not remembering what happened with the rest of the neighborhood, we didn't see?
That she eventually got Josh's suffering gives me a little hope that she may grow on me, but I'm still irritated with her as of now.
Hey, Norah went for it when she was in the moment!

Art Crawl!!!
In the British series the mother got the entire neighborhood (or so it seemed) against Mitchell. I wonder if they will go in that direction with the US series.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh god, I hate this episode of Being Human.
I did too. Hated the storyline, hated the mother (I understand wanting to protect your kid, of course, but was there no shadow of doubt? It was a weird damn video, didn't it seem more like some kind of experimental amateur adult vid that was never meant for a kid to see? wasn't there even a teensy possibility in her mind that it was just a mistake - a whopper of a mistake, granted, but still - as in fact it really was? There didn't seem to be enough reason for her to jump straight from "this is some weird-ass sex vid that my kid is seeing, WTF?" to "Nice neighbor boy is a pedo!"), hated the lack of resolution to the pedo deal (what did she do, go round to the neighborhood and say, "sorry, he's not a pedo, and we're moving hastily far away for some other reason entirely"?), hated that Mitchell did that to the kid. That episode made me lose interest in the series; after that I watched it sporadically but I could never like Mitchell again, on any level.
I still like George and Nina, though. I'd like Annie better if she wasn't convincing herself that Mitchell isn't really a mass murdering serial killer.
