A vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost walk into a bar....
So ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
finkpishnets will be most thrilled to hear that I have finished the first season of Being Human. And that I love it.
She will not be pleased to hear that I still like the original Mitchell better.
But! She will again be pleased to hear that I fangirl Annie like you would not believe, and that the OT3 love is strong with me. THEY ARE ALL MARRIED ALL TOGETHER. (Follow that link and let it convince you to watch the show.) Y'all, there is domesticity and hilarity and really poignant moments and fantastic plotting and general awesomeness to be had. Get on the bandwagon! A vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost sharing a house! And trying to be human! Awesomeness!
I am a sucker for domesticity. So this show gets me. Because Annie and George and Mitchell are adorable and hilarious and adorable again and I love them.
I fangirl Annie. I kind of want to be Annie as she is, as the picspam says, MADE OF RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE. +1000000 for casting! I love how seriously they take the domestic abuse plotline with her and how it affected and affects her. Brilliant. Also, her ultimate Standing Up to Owen scene may be my favorite kick-ass moment since Buffy Freakin' Summers. Or at least Veronica Mars. I went all flaily with joy over the perfection of that scene. I hope Owen gets tortured for the rest of the show for what he did to her. I also really love that she's not the stereotypical Strong Female Character. I mean, as much as I love Buffy or Aeryn Sun or whoever, it's nice sometimes to see a female character who is strong but is also not physically imposing and who has the stereotypically girly emotions. She cries a lot. I love that about her, because I do, too. And yet she's still wonderful in every way.
George is awesome. OMG the way he squeaks! I love it! He's so neurotic and funny and when he does the Big Brave Thing at the end of the season I just want to huggle him! I thought he would annoy me, but he does not! Instead, he makes me happy, though I cannot crush on him because I view him the way I do Anwar on Skins: I want to spend the rest of my life pinching his cheeks. I think it is the ears. He has such stereotypically geeky ears. They stick out for miles and make him look pretty goofy, and it's fabulous. And more +100000 for casting!
Mitchell is great when he's getting all excited about doing human-y things! And how much he loves George and Annie just makes me so, so happy. I do roll my eyes when he broods, though. Which is probably as much Angel's fault as Mitchell's. I do not think I would like him on his own, but pair him with the other two, and I like him very much indeed.Though I still think the other Mitchell was better--and way, way more convincing as a vampire. Don't kill me!
I also love Nina. She is also adorable and hilarious and exactly the right girl for Georgeif only his vampire and ghost BFFs weren't waiting for him at home. And unlike any other character I can think of. Again +1000000 for casting!
I was absolutely mad about Gilbert, too. I wanted a zillion episodes with him, and I was crushed when he left. He was just so lovely, and his death scene made me cry: when he opened that door and looked in and smiled. Oh, Gilbert. +10000 for casting yet again!
I hatehatehatehatehated Lauren. Like, every time she was onscreen, I wanted to stab the screen with my fork (I watch TV while I eat my meals. Do not judge me). Gah, could she have been any more annoying? And she made Mitchell annoying when she was with him! I hated it! I was glad to see her go.
Herrick, on the other hand, was a fabulous Big Bad. I hope next season's is as as good.
And I knew Owen killed her from the very first scene he was in! I so called it! He is a despicable excuse for a human being, and did I mention that I wouldn't mind seeing him tortured? Poor Annie.
Fantastic pacing, show. Fantastic. Six episodes pack quite a punch when they're all excellent and don't waste anything at all.
I also like their pink house. It feels (and looks) very much like what a bunch of young people without a lot of money would live in.
The only thing I don't like (besides Lauren--who stole my name and made it bad!) is that I cannot figure out the vampire and ghost rules. So...Annie can touch things and now everyone can see her? How is that different from being alive, leaving aside the popping from one place to another and the new blowing people away skills? And vampires can not only go out in daylight but also they don't actually have to drink blood, and there's no substitute? I want a bit more sense-making, please.
But other than that, I love it all! And...I can't wait to start S2! Will it be longer? I hope and pray?
And I hear that they are going to make an American version. I do not approve. Unless they do something crazy like cast Enver Gjokaj and Aldis Hodge and Deborah Ann Woll all in the same show (I was just trying to think of my favorite young-ish American actors. But I've got good taste, no?), there is no way on earth that this can be anything close to good. CURSE YOU, AMERICAN TV! First Skins, now Being Human? Did Life on Mars teach you nothing?
*sigh*
But yes. I love this show, and I want everyone to watch it for it is made of loveliness. The. End.
