Being Human US 112-113
Jan. 26th, 2013 12:59 amThat was pretty bloody, wasn't it? And the way Bishop died... it reminded me of SPN's Sam killing Gordon. Sheesh!
You know, I like the BHUS werewolves much better than the Teen Wolf ones, those look utterly ridiculous and I still don't get why TW isn't using wolves/dogs. Yeah, the BHUS ones are CGI and a bit... TV-budget-like looking but they are still scary - for TV. I'm still miffed that the TW weres don't really change into animals, they remain screwy humans.
Gosh, Sally looked terrifying as a scary, zombie-like ghost!
I liked the very last scene with the three of them. I still feel they don't have the chemistry of the UK version but they're getting there. Now that the writers will stop following the UK series, I hope it'll get even better!
Aaaaaaaaaaand I'm done with S1 of Being Human US, go me!

Being Human US 109-111
Jan. 24th, 2013 11:28 pmGosh, I'm so glad I stuck with the show. It's so, so good now! I actually had tears in my eyes several times - and every time it was Aidan's fault. Sam Witwer has such a perfect comedic timing - but he does sad so incredibly well too. Like when they tricked him into killing Bernie. Or when he gave himself up to save Josh. Or when he killed Rebecca... I wanted to give him a hug and promise him that everything would be okay :(
I honestly don't get why Josh keeps saying that Aidan is his best friend. Well, I guess I can. Every time Josh lands himself in trouble, he runs to Aidan. But when Aidan has issues and problems of his own, all Josh does is judge him. That irks me a bit. I mean, all Josh can think of are his own issues, he doesn't even have time for Sally, not really. It's always Aidan who talks to her. I hope Josh will become a little less self-centered.
And I loved the creepy look that Sally gave to Danny when that witch woman left, refusing to exorcise her when she learned the truth about what Danny had done. Gosh, Sally was so, so pissed!

Being Human US 106-108
Jan. 22nd, 2013 11:26 pmWith ep 106, the writers started really changing things, didn't they? Yes, the story is still following the UK one but it's getting more and more away from it - and that's good so because the episodes are so much better now!
I LOL'd so hard during their dinner with Josh's parents. That was so hilarious! But I don't like Emily, Josh's sister. I really, really don't like her. Josh asked her not to tell anything to their parents - and she went and babbled it all out. She even stole his diary! Who the effing ef does that, especially to their brother? And then she was all, no hard feelings. Really? REALLY?!
Ah, that was the actress who played Dean's Lisa on SPN. I understood her rage, I really did. But I still found her very unappealing. I think her part as Lisa just made her unwatchable to me.
I think the best bits are those with Aidan, Josh and Sally all together, just hanging out or helping each other. Though I would prefer a bit less whining about how awful their existence is. Not that it isn't, but how does it help?

Being Human US 103-105
Jan. 20th, 2013 11:31 pmYou know, I'm just not feeling this show. They keep telling me that there's danger looming, that these people live a terrible life - but that's all, I hear and see it, I just don't really feel it. Maybe because I feel that Aidan and Josh just don't have any chemistry together.
Like, they all have their troubles - but they try to solve them each on their own. They are not really helping each other. They don't live "together" together, they just share a house and live next to each other, like parallel lines, never crossing. I hope that the meal they shared at the end of 105 will change that. They need to connect, they need to actually SHARE their lives for this show to work. So far, that's not been happening. I hope that was intentional.
Oh, and Bishop's obsession with Aidan? Oh so creepy! O.O

Being Human US 101+102
Jan. 20th, 2013 12:39 amOkay, hm. I wanted to marathon Fringe S5 - and ended up watching eps 101+102 of Being Human US. Someone care to explain to me how that happened? *scratches head*
I DL'd the whole S1 because I got this sudden craving to see it. I don't know why, I've never before felt any need to watch it. Well, it might have had something to do with my falling head over heels for Aidan Turner. Which lead me to DL Being Human UK. And then suddenly, I wanted to see BHUS first. Why? Because I don't like the US characters as much, I prefer the UK ones. Twisted logic, I know, but I was honestly afraid that if I watched the UK version first, I might end up not liking the US version at all. See? Logic. And since the US version goes its own way starting S2, I wanted to be able to watch both shows. Yes, my brain works mysterious ways.
I also DL'd the first season of Copper. Not that that has anything to do with BH, either version. Just thought I would mention it. Because I love Kyle Schmid. And DL'ing that made me want to watch Zerophilia again. Because of Kyle Schmid, of course. And Blood Ties. Which made me want to finally finish reading the book series. And maybe re-read the Shadow series too. Mysterious ways, see? Some of the jumps my brain makes astound even me. But maybe not this time since Kyle Schmid has a recurring part in BHUS S3. Huh.
But back to BHUS 101+102:
- not bad, though a bit cheap looking.
- I like Sally. She reminds me a lot of Claudia from W13, she has the same way of talking, a really similar voice, similar mannerism. Maybe that's why I like her so much.
- Regarding Aidan and Josh, I really hope they tone down the woe-is-me, it's slightly annoying when all they do is moan about being a vampire and a werewolf respectively.
- And yes, Mark Pellegrino's playing a creep - what else is new. Though the way he watched Aidan while Aidan fed from that half-naked girl was... quite hot in a very disturbing way O.o
