Did You Actually Use Those Words?

A couple of days ago, reipan came over to introduce me to Being Human! (A friend of my father's was also there for lunch; he is a man of about sixty who delights in making offensive comments, and he took a great liking to Rei and, rather alarmingly, wrote a poem advising her to get pregnant. I don't know. It was odd.)

I have now watched the first two episodes of Being Human, and I already like it very much indeed. I am looking forward to seeing the rest! (I have been so spoilt by American television. Six episodes feels like nothing.)

Thoughts!

- Annie is really, really cute. I want one haunting my house.

- How much George/Annie/Mitchell is on the Internet? Because I can guarantee that it will not be enough. They are amazing, and I want so much fanfiction about their loving adorable three-way relationship.

- MITCHELL AND ANNIE'S LITTLE ACCIDENTAL KISS IN THE SECOND EPISODE. SO CUTE. I love that it was a bit awkward, but then they just made awkward jokes about it, making the scene far more charming than uncomfortable. Awkward jokes are much more fun than awkward silence!

- I JUST FIND MITCHELL AND ANNIE'S RELATIONSHIP SO ADORABLE. He cares about her! He comforts her! He confronts Tully when he realises that Tully is the reason she is so upset!

- George is so hopeless. I cringed so much when he was taking Tully's appalling advice in attempting to ask out that woman. (On that note: Mitchell's line to George in the first episode? 'You see, I can actually talk to women without weeping or setting fire to myself'? Amazing.) I am not saying that I do not love him; I am just saying that he is hopeless. (I forgave him for the horror of the asking-out scene when we found out that he visits lonely patients on his day off. Bless him!)

- Regarding that vampire snuff sex tape in the second episode: can you imagine how silly the actor who had to mime having sex with thin air must have felt? Most of the time I prefer not to think 'these are actors' as I watch something, but in this case it made it the most hilarious scene in the world.

- SERIOUSLY. GEORGE/ANNIE/MITCHELL. THEY MOCK EACH OTHER AND THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER AND THEY ARE WONDERFUL.


Also, my housemate made me watch an episode of CSI: Miami last night, and the main thought I took from this was that there should be a CSI: Camelot. Half the time the conclusion will be 'GASP, IT WAS MAGIC' (everyone will be astonished every time, despite the number of magical deaths they have already investigated), and the rest of the time it will be 'oh, Uther's just been killing people again'. It would be dreadful. I'd love it.

I would like to see CSI: Camelot.

Also, okay, whose got a link to the first episode? I think I should probably at least figure out who you lot are on about.

(edited because the message posted before I was done.)

As the Being Human pilot is not on the DVD, I can link to it on YouTube without any guilt whatsoever! Here you go. (Mitchell and Annie's actors were replaced for the actual series, so don't get too attached.) I'd like to hear your thoughts.
