Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoilers

Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi

Yes, there are definitely some totally new story elements (wolfboy's sister and parents) and some changes in the vamp "rules" (the fact that vampires can be mirrored or photographed/filmed), and of course... tea. Annie was always running around making tea for everyone, while Sally is less inclined to wait on others.

Then again the fact that Annie could make tea might be a factor there.

Good point, and yet another variation between the versions. :)

Anyone know the song that was playing at the end of the episode when Sally went back to the hospital? I checked the playlist page at SyFy earlier today, but they didn't have that one listed.

Ah, I thought the mother looked familiar.

Another good episode. Everybody's story continues to be engaging, bouncing back and forth from highs and lows; I've come to like Aiden a lot more than I did at the start.

The only thing I didn't really buy was Josh turning into a Werewolf in the house. They did this in the British version, too. It's hard to believe that a scary monster couldn't just, y'know, break out through a window or something.

It could, but so could any large animal but they tend to stay in confined spaces.

Don't animals want to be free and escape from any confines?

Did you use the Shazam app?

^ I don't have that app, but maybe I'll try it out when I watch the rerun.

Nora and Josh continue to grow closer; Sally tracks down Nicholas Fenn; Aidan checks in with Cindy.
 
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi

Is Nora
The girl that Josh will turn into a werewolf like how George turned Nina? I'm guessing because of the scar on Nora's stomach.

I don't have anything deep to say but I was wondering if anyone else thought that kid looked like mini-McLovin.
 
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi

The whole thing with the kid was pretty damn intense, I'll say. First the kid gets hit and is critically injured, then we see the young mom having to deal with her son dying, then we see that he's been turned (when he first showed up in the park, I thought he was a ghost, by the way). Then we get to see the difficulties of raising a kid, vampire style. That whole scene with him refusing to drink blood and throwing a tantrum was pretty powerful stuff. What a bind they were in. At that point, I actually did wonder if they'd have to kill him out of compassion, but didn't think the show would go that far. In the end when Aidan took him hunting for deer, I thought ... There we go, a good solution. Then the show did the unthinkable. Like I said... Pretty damn intense. That's not the kind of thing a show or it's characters can get away with or recover from. Viewers have turned their backs on shows for less. Even within the show, I wonder how long it'll take before we see Aidan and Josh buddy-buddy and joking around again. That can't come easy.

I wonder if Sally comes easy.

Haaaaayyy! Had to say it. :o The opening voiceover that talked about needing to touch someone got my attention that way. I started thinking that Sally can't have sex and wondered how she'd get some, being a ghost and all. Then I figured that maybe she can meet another ghost who's up for it. Then one shows up and it looks like they're heading in that direction, but unfortuately it never went that far. I'd still like to see it happen at some point though.

:lol: Interesting to read about the variations in the US version. I really loathe Annie, so it would be interesting to see if I felt the same way about Sally.
 
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi

I'd like to see the U.K. version, but I'm afraid it'll spoil the U.S. version too much. I may take the leap though.

Anyway, I forgot to mention something... Would the kid have been stuck as a kid? Or would he have aged at least to maturity? It would have been unfortunate if he were stuck as a kid forever.
 
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi

Just like Kirsten Dunst in Interview with a Vampire, right? Or even, Let the Right One in. They both stayed as kids. Kirsten Dunst's character had pretty just turned into one.

Was Bishop's move with the bullies a scare tactic in getting Aiden to do the deed though?
 
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi

^^ Absolutely.. I think it was two-fold in purpose.. To take care of the issue of having turned a kid and to perhaps turn the screw on Aiden one bit more, to make him realize he's better off with his own kind.

That bit at the end through me for a loop.. I was convinced that Mini-McLovin (LOVE THAT) had taken care of the kids...

And the resolution.. Amazed the American version had the balls to go where the UK version did not.. Brilliant and disturbing..

And am I alone in LOVING the soundtrack? I really hope they release it. The take on Tears for Fears' "Mad World" last night was fantastic.

While Bishop spoke with Aiden, was it Bishop that killed the kids? Bernie doesn’t seem to be acting like HE did it, so ... Bishop or whatshisname aide?

Who plays Bishop? Too lazy to imdb it.
 
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi

yeah the show is getting better, powerful stuff with the vamp kid last night. also liked the ghost guy always reliving his death...I dont get why it bugged Sally so much though.

Bishop is played by the very talented, Mark Pallegrino, whom played Jacob on Lost, Lucifer on Supernatural and Rita's abusive ex husband on Dexter. And it was his orders, but his right hand man was the one to actually do it.
