Its been a while, but Being Human (omg!)
17 years ago
So, I am alive. Although I doubt many people have been pining away for a journal update.
Anyways, I wanted to say thanks to the people with artistic talent for putting artisticky things up. Your talent and skills amuse me greatly, and have been rays of cancer-free sunshine on a otherwise perfectly fine dreary day. (Ask the cast of Pride of Life, I'm looking at you. <3)
Anyways, I just finished downloading Being Human S01E01. Yes, I know its being shown online at the BBC website, and yes, I know I can't watch it unless I mask my IP to pretend I'm British. I like tea, but I don't think it would count to that extent. It makes me quite sad that the pilot will no longer be considered cannon, as it had some excellent one liners in it. At least for the most part they preserved the plot very well. Unfortunate that only the werewolf has the same actor, but upon review the ghost and the vampire have admirable actors as well. While the pilot was much more comedy than drama, I think the new writing will give it more meat rather than a paranormal sit-com. As another critic said: "I've connected with and felt more empathy for the three main characters of Being Human in ONE episode than I have for the entire cast of some other series in an entire season." Its very unfortunate that I have to download each episode, and at the mercy of the soul who puts it on the web (Thank you, merciful soul.) but it will have to do for now. And oh-mi-gosh at next week's episode. It seems the first week put a lot of focus on ghosts and vampires, but it looks like E02 focuses on werewolf backstory! Wheee. Now on to the important stuff about it- While the transformation scene in EP01 wasn't the best thing since sliced bread, it was remarkable for a TV series. It was done awfully well, and puts the big-budget movies to shame.
(Actual Quality)/(Expected Quality) > 1 I hope the do more with it over time, and not use the same "convenient vantage point" every episode.
I secretly hope George gets more wolfy traits besides the "better sense of smell", as it would be kinda lame if he always gets his ass kicked by Laura all the time.
Paraphrased!
Annie: "George isn't it your time of the month?"
George: "..Yeah"
Annie: "God I'm so happy I don't have to deal with that, curled up on the couch with a water bottle and going to bite someone's head off if they talked to ... me.. oh.. well, I guess you do really bite people's ...heads off.."
George: "..."
