Is this where we discuss Being Human? Is anyone else watching it?

Makes sense to me to put it here. I've seen it already.

I am really not a fan of Annie. I called the whole Owen abuse/murder thing pretty early. She's kind of a mess.

George has some good qualities, but his neurosis is often overplayed. He does small moments well, which makes me wonder if he's being directed broadly.

I was very unhappy with Mitchell turning the little kid. He's doomed to live his life as a child, that's no way to be (I mean, we all see how Claudia turned out). I'm surprised that the mother allowed it, it was a very selfish decision on her part.

The series picks up around this point, I'd say, Vortex, as a bigger arc swings into gear.

I love Annie, though. I also called the whole murder thing, but I like the way she deals with it, or at least realizes that she has to deal with it.

I was wondering if anyone was watching it. I've already seen it, but was catching it again. Aside from this past episode--it made me sufficiently uncomfortable (the child abuse allegations more than turning the child, which I can totally see Mitchell doing) that I didn't want to see it again. But I'm back on the ride with the next ep.

I really love Being Human. Episode four was rather uncomfortable, but it looks like they're going to some interesting places next time.

I completely agree about the kid episode and not loving Annie in the beginning. And. Things pick up significantly from that point.

Having watched the entire series 3 or 4 times, the finale makes me love the previous episodes so much more than I did on first viewing. I can't think of another show for which that is true for me.

George's line about "being human" absolutely kills me. I rewind and watch it several times with each viewing.

I enjoy Being Human, but totally agree on the Annie angle. Looks like she's going to learn who she is and how to lead her life post-mortem which is...weird and sad, but there you go.

George is awesome. Sometimes, yes, he seems overly broad in his neurotic acts and responses, but overall I think he's pretty believable. I get the feeling he was Nervous Nelly before he got skritched and doggified, and his lycanthropy doesn't help.

Mitchell is odd for me. He doesn't really seem like he's been alive for a hundred years or so. It's like he was just recently turned, though I know he wasn't. He just seems so weirdly young and naive for a centenarian + vamp.

Looking forward to what looks to be Vamp Wars arc.

He just seems so weirdly young and naive for a centenarian + vamp.

This 'progression' of Mitchell's reminds me of Godric's on True Blood. And, in a way, Angel's.

Thus: I get turned. I enjoy the hell out of being a vamp. Many neck's fall to my passion for pain. After a while, I gain self-awareness somehow (age borne wisdom, resoulification, etc.) and am appalled by the me I've become. I hate myself a lot until I come to terms with my raging self-doubt and skin condition. I become zen and learn to love everyone but myself.

Naivete? Vampirism? Adolescence? It's all the same.

I just gotta weigh in on the science in the show.

it just kills me a lot of weeks - most clearly in p brane.... it's tough when you're trying to learn the rules of a particular episode and your asking exactly what you guys were asking "Why don't I go through the floor? Why can't I walk through the walls or the elevator door?

I thank you for your patience.

Some are better than others and I really relish those ones - where the science is clear and correct and concise.

It's nice to hear that others have the same problems because then I don't feel so crazy when I have everyone saying "Oh stop over thinking it."

Anyway, I'm in Bulgaria for the summer acting in one movie and directing another. It's the classic SwhyFwhy popcorn saturday stuff. Hope you guys are good.

I just had to weigh in....
