Being Human (and other telly)

Last night we decided to catch up on season 3 of Being Human - we managed to miss several episodes first time around, so we decided it was best just to record them and watch the series in sequence at our leisure.

I have noticed that a lot of people either here or over on FarceBook have raved, but I have to say that we found the first episode to be rather a slow burner, with rather too much introspection from Mitchell. I don’t mind character building in my TV, but I prefer it to concentrate on building the character in the story rather than trying to build my character through watching it.

My fondest hope in the episode was sadly dashed.

For one, brief and shining moment, I had thought and hoped to see Barry Backplot from Torchwood get eaten. Sadly it was not to be.

Season three starts then, with a slow burn.

Or you lot have fibbed outrageously.

It will soon be time to start looking out for season four of True Blood. I am hoping it will start with someone walking out of the shower and explaining that sections at least of season 3 were a dream and that Sookie is not actually a bloody ( spoiler cut for those who are interested but hopelessly behind! )

Man, that idea blew chunks and if they stick with it, we will be able to point derisively at the moment the show jumped the shark!

We will be catching up with Supernatural too, though with the stupid mid season breaks, I can't quite remember what's going on any more.
