I liked that Pilot!Mitchell was taller than George- it sort of threw off the cliche of the werewolf being a big, bulky SOB. Also, Pilot!Mitchell struck me as more believable at times- I could see him as a youth dying on a battlefield and being frozen forever as a young soldier, being a bit dissolute and callow and having lived through the 60's (loved the hat and glasses- too funny, so THIN WHITE DUKE!!!). I could see him in the role, but I didn't find him believable as a seducer of women and his brief scenes with Lauren, and the woman in the bar, kinda made me cringe.
Turner's scenes with Clare Higgins (Josie) were just amazing, though- the way he reminisced with her was lovely, and you could really see how Mitchell was still very much in touch with his/some form of humanity (something that reverberates when Lauren voices her fears that she's losing hers). If I hadn't been watching the episodes slumped in front of my computer I would have enjoyed the episodes more, I think. I hope they release this show on DVD soon (with the pilot, of course)- I would totally pay for the privilege.
Random- I was checking out the actor who played Owen on imdb.com, and did you know he was the voice of Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter video games? It DOES all come back to Rowling! O.o
