Being Human was awesome last night.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Ash - which episode? (I saw them a while back, on the BBC...)

Have not seen it yet, but would guess 5.

Did not need to say it twice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, it was episode 5, where Annie goes off on Owen. A thing of glory.

Ooh, yes. That one was impressive.

I don't quite understand the economics where BBCA would charge me to watch their stuff with computers, but gives me their most popular program free in the on-demand section with no advertising other than for other BBCA programs. I mean good for me, I can watch it at my convenience full length without commercials, but don't quite see the business model.

Re: Being Human -- I enjoyed the episode, but to nitpick ('cause we never do that here): Firstly, Mitchell strikes me as lovely but not having a brain in his head. The whole time he was going on about the idyllic future where everyone would be turned, voluntarily of course (and despite Head Vampire Guy - Harrick, is it? - making it clear he was selectively choosing which humans were good or useful enough to turn), I kept thinking "This is not a sustainable system! What the hell are you planning to eat?" But I really liked his encounter with his girlfriend from the 60's.
And Annie, oh Annie. For almost the entire episode I was so frustated and annoyed by her cowering and snivelling. I suppose I have been thoroughly spoiled by Buffy and her descendants, because I wanted Annie to speak up, or pick up something heavy to whack people with it. Crying on the floor, crying on the stairway, crying on the couch... none of those things help at all. On the other hand, her final confrontation with Owen was so spot-on I practically cheered at the TV. ('We have your scent now, and can track you to the ends of the earth...')

Remember Annie's an emotionally and ultimately physically abused woman. Standing up effectively is going to be hard for her.

I know, and I kept reminding myself of that. But it's less satisfying dramatically to see non-stop weakness than it is to see someone fighting back. I was really satisfied in her strength at the end.
