Being Human, I Think This Might Be Love

[ozmissage]

Okay, we need to talk Being Human. This show is giving me serious feelings. Seriously, epic feelings. I just...guh, I love it. I mean technically I've only seen two episodes (the pilot and the other pilot---thank you youtube!), but it has eaten my brain. I need to be working on Lost fic, but all I want to do is write a thousand George/Mitchell fics, which is inconvenient because I'm not even familiar with canon yet.

And what is up with that anyway? I rarely ever fall for slash pairings this quickly, but all I want right now is to read a billion stories about the boys cuddling and watching TV in their house and just generally being adorable. And possibly angsting because there's some serious potential for really good angst with that pairing. If anyone has any recs, they would be muchly appreciated. :)

Spoilery stuff about the original pilot under the cut. Is it considered canon? I didn't see much in the way of contradictions.

George!!! Every time he's on screen I start squealing like a fourteen year old who just bumped into one of those Jonas kids. I just love him so much. His ears! His excitement over finding the house! He wants a garden! he alphabetizes his books! And thank you to whoever decided to make him naked for like 40% of the episode. I owe you one.

The scene in the hospital where he thought about killing himself to keep from hurting his ex? Killed me. Oh, my poor boy. I've missed having a werewolf to love.

I think I actually prefer the new Mitchell. It could just be because I saw the other guy first, but i think it has something to do with his line deliveries. They were kind of...Draculaesque. He does have a gravitas about him that the other guy doesn't, but I think current Mitchell brings more of an innocence to the role that I like.

Still there was close talking with George. And he had his legs draped over him at one point. And I kind of just want to squish them together. Ahem.

I love original Annie! She's a not as morose as new Annie. I like new Annie, but man the other girl cracked me up. And she saved George and George's ex!

The only thing I'm not feeling about the show is the vampire politics stuff. Apparently, being turned into a vampire is like signing up for a pyramid scheme? Then again I will happily overlook my disinterest in the vampire revolution if it means I get to spend more time with these awesome people.

The scene at the end in the pub made me grin.
"No one ever says Slytherin."
"That's because that's like admitting you're a sociopath."

Also, I just bought "Common People" by Pulp off itunes. I'm easily influenced.

Being Human Rocks!

Oh, I love this! As a new devotee to Being Human, I agree with a lot of your comments. And the line about the pyramid scheme is both dead-on and priceless. Because it's one of those things that you don't usually think while watching, but once it occurs to you it's like OMG that's totally it!

I like series Mitchell too. And yes, the show's creator considers the pilot canon. I'm of mixed feelings on which Annie I prefer--but the Annie prequel thing creeped me out. I've only seen the pilot and episode one...but I can't freakin' wait for more. And a British friend of mine says that they're filming series 2! *squee*

♥ Yay! I've been a fan of Being Human since the original pilot aired so it's lovely to see a bunch of new fans on my flist now. That show deserves so much love - I plan on marrying George one of these days.

I'm glad it's considered canon because there was some really cool stuff in that episode. Yay for a season 2!

And I'm with you, I'm dying for Saturday to get here so I can watch the next episode.

I love your icon so much! Boys, how are you so cute?

George is everything I've ever wanted in a fictional character and more. He's just so adorable. :)

The entire time I was watching the pilot, something in the back of my mind kept saying, "I could totally ship George/Mitchell". Seriously. It's weird for me to be thinking that so soon.

I probably shouldn't be reading this since I haven't seen the original pilot, but... oh well.

The "vampire revolution" isn't exactly a fresh idea but I can live with it. I'm just relieved to have a new vampire to love. Twilight has pretty much killed vampires for good. So I'm happy to see vampires who aren't whiny or sparkly or anything like that.
