Yeah, more Being Human. WHAT OF IT

So I randomly decided to watch the new SyFy version of Being Human last night. It was a very odd experience. I can't even objectively say whether it was good or bad because I just felt so strange about the whole thing. Like, I knew the story and the characters but it was all taking place in some kind of alternate universe where Mitchell isn't Irish and that's unacceptable.

Though I was pretty amused by the posts I saw on tumblr regarding it. Spoilers for whatever episode aired last night (1x05 I think? And therefor the first season of the British series as well). This was the episode where it was revealed how Danny (Owen) killed Sally (Annie) by pushing her down the stairs because he's an abusive ass. And everyone on tumblr was like :O but I was like... yeah, I knew that. I actually think it would be interesting to watch this because they're going to have to spread the story out into the much longer episode count of American series and more Being Human is always a good thing. But, it's so distracting having different actors that I don't know if I would be able to do it. I just adore the other cast so much.

For good measure, have a pic of Aidan Turner. CLICK ME.

Speaking of other cast members, I watched a clip from the original pilot for the BBC series because I've seen a couple people on LJ and tumblr mention their preference for the original Mitchell. I gotta say, at least in the clip I saw, I was kinda creeped out by him? I'm sure a lot of this is that I've watched Aidan Turner in the role for 2 1/2 series, and usually whoever you know first is your preference (like with the US remake), but the character is a lot warmer than I think they originally wrote him. Annie is certainly a lot less testy.

One thing that amused me about the US version was that Bishop (the Herrick character) is played by Mark Pellegrino, who I only know from Lost where he played Jacob. So, when I see him onscreen being a vampire... I just see Jacob being a vampire. But, Jacob was always kind of a dick, so now he's just more upfront about it?

I'm not cutting this because it's hilarious and everyone should read it (courtesy of @nedroid)
