I thought the guy was the escaped souls' living human Renfield, and was pretending otherwise so he could get the Vessel from Sam and release them all again. But the Devil's compliments about catching them would seem to belie that.

In all fairness, he was apologizing for something that was very real world- taking off and not telling her where he was. And he was an idiot for giving the letter to Sock to mail. She was right to be angry about that, because you don't give anything to Sock if you really want it to get done.

True, but at the same time you'd think it might occur to her that a guy working for the Devil and getting constant visits from his boss could occasionally run into issues that would interfere with being an attentive boyfriend. Ditto for someone who got to see his father buried alive by demons. I forget, does Andi know what Sam found out about supposedly being the Devil's son? That little nugget of information could certainly be expected to send someone off the rails.

btw? a letter is so old school. what happened to a voicemail? do they not have phones?

yes, but when you call, they might answer the phone and then you have to actually talk to them.

Any Sarah Connor Chronicles fan needs to read this post about the last episode. It's so good it got linked on the official blog.

Thanks P-C. That was very well done.

Being Human question: Did Owen get captured for food? Was that him with shorter hair who appeared to Annie in episode 6 to plead for the ones still living?

Mitchell wasn't really the brightest of them, was he? I couldn't help but hearing "Turn two--the rest are food" throughout most of the vampire sales pitch.

Reaper: I didn't mind Sock too much in this episode, but some growth would be nice. I would have rather they had been able to keep the apartment. It wasn't a bad episode, but I was expecting something more exciting after last season's finale. I want an explanation for why Sam would come home after being away for so long and not check up on his mother. As far as he knows his dad is still dead and mom is a widow.

Being Human: ita, I had the same pyramid scheme thought.

The one who came to plead for the others was the one who spoke in the 'pantry' when they found it. In other words not Owen. Who, it turns out really screwed his own pooch with the sudden truth telling. Did serve him totally right. He ought to have had a lot more screaming and suffering. But I'm fairly certain we havn't seen the last of him.

My favorite character was Josie. Bless her wise and pragmatic heart. It was beautiful when Mitchell was mourning her with the blood still on his mouth.

I was not at all surprised but was super creeped out when the kid walked up out of the Tube. I'd have thought his mother was a smart as Josie, but I guess not. That simple, "I'm hungry" gave me the chills.

OH! And George!! How much do I love," This doesn't deny my humanity. It proves it." Awesome. Though I thought the resolution of that particular baddie was a bit anti-climatic, given the build up.

I'm looking forward to the next batch of eps to see how all those consequences play out.

Being Human: I should have waited until the end of the ep to ask the Owen question, evidently. That cleared that right up. The person that his doctor placed a call to--Jarrett? Is that a new name?

Also, my audio went a bit wonky when Annie asked Mitchell why she could suddenly do [blank]. He answers that it's because she turned down death. Do you remember what newfound power she was wondering about?

George is a cutie. I did wonder if Nina was going to kill herself in that last shot, after she revealed the scratches, though.

I agree with you on the anti-climactic thing. There wasn't a sense of proportion to that resolution.

I assume we're to assume that Mitchell's judgment was tainted at the time he suggested turning the kid, but, like you--I thought the mother was going to turn him down. How do you transpose the drug addiction metaphor onto a kid properly? Can't turn out well.

Speaking of British sff, has anyone seen "No Heroics?" [trailer]. Can't decide if I want to bother obtaining it. The friend who sent me the link said it reminded her of us in university, which can't be a compliment.

Hrm. I need to rewatch...Not sure about Jarrett. But I'm pretty sure Annie's new power was being able to be seen/touched. She could fight at the funeral home, right ?

Yeah, the addiction metaphor never seems to work with kids (See Interview with a Vampire et. al) but now we can have the Angelesque "I'm evil because you made me!" thing like the girl, only with extra added angst for Mitchell.

I didn't have the same thought about Nina killing herself, though I can totally see why you'd say that. But now, I'm thinking that GuywhoplayedShakespeare on the Doctor can come back with even MORE I want a family yearning if Nina and George make it.

The Herrick thing bugged because he'd been made out to be the baddest of the baddies, but wait, no there is an even bigger secret conspiracy and his downfall basically consisted of Were!George batting him down and taking a bite. I wanted more drama, especially after George's awesome speech.

As for No Heroics...sort of Human!Tick splicing, eh? There are 6 or 7 eps on serf, so I'll give it a go, but I can't imagine enjoying it half as much.
