Three beasties in a flat in Bristol.

Okay, saw the last two episodes and WHEW! Annie. My gawd. That was, hands down, the best revenge ever.

Also watched the pilot and Guy Flanagan is growing on me- he so by-Gawd tall that it is frightening, but he's got charm. Bloody YouTube and those 10 minute pieces- very hard to keep everything straight.

So yes. Season 2 needs to start nao, plz.

ETA: Dinner was a can of soup heated in the microwave and pint of Fleur de Sel Haagen Dazs. Not in that order. I feel like I'm back in grad school and it sucks. NEW OVEN NEEDS TO COME NOW. Xp

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

Fair enough. It worked for me but then, I found the man insanely attractive in a very unusual way. *lol*


ZOMG HARRY POTTER RULES THE WORLD!

*lol* I just realized the top of your icon has text in it, though I had to lean in a bit to read it. Now it's funnier. XD

Yeah, he seemed a little too eldritch and not masculine enough for my tastes, but then I prefer guys whose jeans I can get into... meaning when they aren't wearing them. Still, he is attractive in a way.

ZOMG HARRY POTTER RULES THE WORLD!

IKR? I SAY WE LEAVE OFF WITH KEVIN BACON AND DO 6 DEGREES OF HARRY POTTER.

For example- Another example of the BH/HP connection is our man Russell Tovey. Tovey is in "Being Human", right? Tovey was also in "History Boys" with Richard Griffiths who was in.... HARRY POTTER!
