I totally agree! The show is just absolutely brilliant! And now you're ahead of me after watching the advance showing of episode three, huh?
For episode one, my fave moments were:
1) George transforming in the living room and Annie's tearful reaction to seeing him in such agony. "He's gone..."
2) Mitchell's amusement at both George's cringeworthy way of flirting with Becca and Becca's mile-a-minute chatterbox approach to flirting with Mitchell himself.
3) Poor Annie's disappointment at finding that Owen couldn't see her and the sweet moment of mutual comfort between her and George.
4) Totally agreed, Mad m'dear - the ending with Lauren is heartbreaking but brilliant.
Episode 2 highlights:
1) Mitchell's utter glee at meeting the neighbours - and learning all the facts about them. Facts about Vin Diesel seem to thrill him no end - Bless.
2) Tully coming onto Annie and the poor, terrified ghost panicking when she can't find her way to the hospital to find the boys. I felt so sorry for her!
3) George's slightly askew outburst in defence of Tully when the others want him to leave. I can't actually quote it here, 'cause its slightly rude, but its so funny yet shocking for both the housemates and the viewers! its a side to George which we've not seen before.
4) The revelation in the shed - maybe not wholly unexpected to some but it surprised me - and the difference with a more centred and more determined George the morning after.
Okay, its becoming clear, isn't it? I'm totally and absolutely in love with George - I know, I know, I
should be in love with the vampire, Mitchell (and he is a bit of alright, I hasten to add!) but I just love the slightly geeky, nervous and utterly sweet werewolf. Must be the mothering instinct - aided by the fact that Russell Tovey who plays him is super-cute and spends half his time nekkid... ahem!
Lets say I'm eagerly awaiting episode three - its meant to be very Annie-centric, right Mad? Bring on 9pm tonight on BBC3!! Though the BBCi advanced showing is looking more tempting by the second...
And now some links for you curious souls.
^^ 'Lissa.

Here's a link to the official BBC Three site for Being Human.
www.bbc.co.uk/beinghuman/If you'd like to catch up and see episodes 1 and 2, they're still available to watch for the next 28 days (hmm, in line with the cycle of the moon that afflicts poor George).
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hd46lThis is an awesome fansite created by the admin of the only decent fan-forum I've found so far for the show.
being-human.tv/The forum itself, part of a far larger forum (a little like you've done here, Scanjet) can be found here (I'm on there as Kinkyclawz - and I always post in yellow) but I'm sure we can launch some pretty interesting discussions here for ourselves. ^^
thebluewhalepub.com/viewforum.php?f=309And, for those who, like me, missed the pilot episode last year AND when it was reshown in January, there's a great YouTube user who has uploaded the entire episode in six segments - with the blessing of the makers, apparently! Woohoo! The Pilot iss just brilliant - highly recommended! The principal actors playing Annie and Mitchell have changed for the series, you might notice.
