I’m all caught up with Being Human‘s first two episodes of Season 2. I still like the premise – werewolf, vampire and ghost trying live normal lives. Bwhahaha!! Hilarity and killing ensues. I thought the first season was wonderful. I haven’t seen the British original series, but it’s on the Netflix queue.

Aidan’s cleaned up. In the first season, I couldn’t figure out why people thought he was attractive. Perhaps Syfy spent a few more dollars on his make-up and hair. He looks so much better this season.

Speaking of much better – Josh has been working out. The man is rippppped. Still need a tan though. (I know I know, they’re in Boston.)

The first two episodes round back to Josh and Nora’s relationship. Nora turned into a werewolf and of course it freaked her out. Sally meets a few new friends, and she finds out she (and other ghosts) can kill (?) each other. Nice. Aidan has to answer to the Council and Mother (hahaha!), and Dichen Lachman (from Dollhouse!) guest stars! Yeah! This season is starting out well.

I also streamed the first two episodes of Lost Girl, which is a Canadian series that’s already aired there. I like the premise but goddamnit, it’s the FAE again! Then again, a succubus is a demon, right? That’s not really a fae. Whatever. The lead actor is not blonde – a plus in my book. The cast is a little wooden – I’m not sure how else to describe them. Maybe they’re new actors in the game. The Chris Martin look-alike (I don’t remember his charater’s name because in my head, he’s Chris Martin2) could use acting practice, and whatever accent he’s trying to hide, he should be allowed to just say whatever he wants in his native accent.

The first episode was great – it sets up the premise. Bo is running all the time. Everytime she kisses someone, she kills them. NICE. She finds out she’s a succubus. Her human friend is her new Robin/sidekick whose eyes creep me out. Is she wearing contacts?? I like Morrigan – the leader of the dark fae of that county. I’m hoping she’ll be a fun Big Bad. The second episode felt weaker. You know Chris Martin2 and Bo are going to get together (hello E1), but at the end of E2 – that was… fast.

While nothing can replace Buffy, and this isn’t about Vampire Slayers, Lost Girl has a lot of potential to game up. This will be on my list to keep watching via OnDemand.
