That was a really good episode last night.. Still taking direct from the UK version, but I like the branch out to Josh's parents.. Loved the dad! What a prat... And so what do you think was hanging in the barn? Mothmen? "Ancient" vamps who don't like coming out during the day?

The thing about Sally's death is that it really was an accident-- but that guy is still abusive and evil.
Josh's reunion with his parents was both hilarious and heartbreaking, which is about par for the course on this show. Aiden's allergic reaction to garlic cracked me up.
I can't wait to see what comes out of the pods.

About that vampire that had his fangs smashed out and told that they wouldn't grow back... All he needs to do is do what so many humans do... Get some fake teeth put in. The vampire community should have a dentist on call for that sort of thing.

- Another great episode.
- When Josh chickened out at Nora's apartment, I thought that was so cliché. A lot of shows do that. The guy is about to get some sex and something happens and the he can't go through with it. Nice to see that thrown out the wondow towards the end when Josh got a second shot.
- The mother totally overreacted to the DVD. For all she knew, it could have been some bad porn that a lot of guys have lying around, which was taken by accident.
- Josh overreacted too.
- I didn't like the wolf CGI. Didn't know that he turned into an actual wolf either. I thought he turned into a humanoid wolf-like creature.

I am really liking this show. For somebody who has seen the original series, is it still pretty much the same or has it branched off into it's own thing yet, this far into the first season?

It's funny in the UK version George spends a lot of time naked holding his junk so we got a tribute to that tonight.
In the UK version the whole neighborhood thought he was a "pee-dophile" and they painted such all over their house and yelled and threatened over it so he got off lightly here.

Still more or less the same, they take longer with stories by this point there's 2 more episodes than was in the first series of the original. So there are new plot points, the stuff with Josh's family is all new, the ghosts in the hospital too. The werewolf guy "helping" Josh was only 1 episode here not two. So there are quite a lot of differences at this point but the main story points have been hit so far.
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi
an "actual wolf"?! that didnt look like any wolf Ive ever seen... it was hideous! it looked like the infected dog from The Thing! Poor Josh!
Re: Being Human - American remake on SyFy - Season 1 discussion & spoi
Yeah, It's fun comparing and contrasting the two. The original DVD that the kid took was quite a bit more revealing, except of course for the fact that the vampire chick couldn't be seen by the camera. The boy's mother is also a quite a bit different. She seems much younger and though she was rightfully wary of strangers at first she didn't have the creep out experience with the rear-view mirror that the UK one did. I also seem to remember that only being a single episode in the UK version, whereas here they've continued things on until next week.
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. Actually, Sally seems to have a much cockier attitude than Annie ever did. Annie was also becoming visible to a large number of non-supernaturals early on in the first series. Sally's former fiance and his new girlfriend are also quite a departure from the original. Still, the storyline thus far is very similar.
With the exception of the family elements, the George and Josh storylines seem to be the most similar to me.
The vampire story seems the most different, having lost some major plot points and gained some new ones. Aiden is a much older vampire than Mitchell, and I don't remember the cop story from the original at all. That doesn't stop several elements are very similar, and they might just be taking their time with the apparently missing stories.
There are some other major plot points that didn't or haven't made it over yet, but I won't mention them for fear of spoiling stories that may have only been delayed due to the drawn out nature of this show.

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.

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