LAUREN I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE WATCHING THIS SHOW. ALSO IT IS SO YOU IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
There are times where I do really miss Old!Mitchell, and I almost hope Guy gets brought back as a different vampire? But I've warmed so much to New!Mitchell. I love that he's not at all a typical vampire - if anything he looks more like a werewolf and I sort of love that? I love that he's really not what you'd expect, and oh my god, flustered!Mitchell is the most glorious wonderful thing ever. He has such a fantastic smile and any time he and George are bickering like an old married couple, I am so deliriously happy. (Though I'll admit, in our Being Human drinking game, 'any time Mitchell spontaneously rock-videos' was a rule. And it was hilarious.) Also, I was just discussing this with Lucy, in that, I don't think Old!Mitchell wouldn't have worked with the lighter tone of S1?
GEORGE OMG MY LOVE FOR RUSSELL TOVEY KNOWS NO BOUNDS. SERIOUSLY. THAT BOY. I mean, Aidan's pretty, but fuck me, Russell can act. The journey of George in S2 at the moment is really interesting and dear god, that boy blows me away every time. He's just, he's got the best balance of neurotic and normal and terrified and oh, I just love him so much.
The George/Mitchell dynamic is my favourite thing, oh man, bffs for life. And I love how Annie just slips so easily into that without disrupting anything, just making it even better. I LOVE THIS SHOW. And Annie. I will love that girl til the end of time. Endless cups of tea and flailing and so damaged and hurt but, she grows up, she takes Owen on and it's the most fabulous transformation. And you're right, the fact that she's girly and normal really enhances that for me. That she's not the typical Strong Female. And I think that's what I love best about the show, that it takes these concepts and makes them atypical and normal at the same time. It's one of the best and most original tv shows I've seen in a long time.
Ugh Owen. I called that as well, just, I saw him and went 'wow, you killed her' and I love that that's the way they went. GILBERT. I LOVED GILBERT. OH MAN. HE WAS SO GOOD AND FUNNY AND I WAS SO SAD WHEN HE WENT THROUGH THE DOOR. And Herrick was a fabulous Big Bad. Lauren...was not. But they have another Lauren-esque character this season and she's awesome.
Nina is so good in S1 but oh god, I can't stand her this season. They've taken away everything I loved about her and oh just, you'll see. It makes me so sad. That Annie thing does get explained in the fourth? episode; sort of briefly and offhand but it does get explained.
