Well, Being Human went off the rails for a while, but for my money it ended well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found I kinda didn't care about them so much. Plotwise, tidy. Emotionally, enh.

Whereas I found it emotionally satisfying, but the whole "The Devil" thing unspeakably silly. Given the stuff I have not blinked at can't defend t hat reaction to the plot, but...

Nope. When they revealed that Boyd, Erica, and Cora had been locked in a bank vault for three months, I wondered why Derek and Isaac weren't able to follow their noses to them.

You don't need to sniff the Sheriff's boxers, Scott. You should be able to smell his crotch from anywhere in Beacon Hills pretty soon.

Their version of the devil kind of grew on me. I love Last Temptation scenarios, though.

Yeah, I think what bothered me is that he seems just too small for "The Devil". Creating werewolves and vampires while we create concentration camps and nuclear weapons? I'd be more on board with the same plot if he'd just been a powerful demon. And I should not be worrying about this. He is a goddamn McGuffin. But for some reason it bugs me a lot.

Eh, we saw a post-ritual powered-down Devil who'd been trapped in a human body who still racked up a pretty good body count. The smallness worked for me - kind of reminded me of the recovering demons on Reaper who were rebelling against hell by performing small acts of kindness, which I loved even as I understood that it was not dramatically interesting enough to keep in the forefront of a TV show.
I was more annoyed by the unnecessariness of Hal being an Old One or whatever. I have no idea what the point of that was supposed to be. But I can ignore it just fine.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm into S3 of Farscape now. I kind of wonder if the two Crichtons in different places development was a cost savings thing. That way the only actor on the call sheet EVERY day was Browder. Anyway, I'm past the only real spoiler I knew (the departure of Virginia Hey) and I didn't even know the when or how of that.

I never even considered a cost thing so much as a "We can get away with this??!?!?!? YES!!!!" thing. I loved having the two Crichtons running around.
