Being Human Renewed

Being Human has been renewed for a second season. The announcement came several days ago, which I happened to see on Syfy’s Twitter account.

Just today, I watched the latest episode, Dog Eat Dog, and cannot begin to express how fascinating I’m finding the relationships between Aidan, Bishop, Josh, Sally, and Rebecca. My favorite is the power plays going on inside the vampire culture. (And I don’t even like vampires!)

There are three full episodes online at Syfy for viewing, but your best bet is to catch reruns on the Syfy channel or buy episodes at Amazon or from the iTunes store.

I think the second season renewal is great news and hope the show continues to be so interesting.

What do you think of it?

I’ve got questions! What the Atlantis season opener didn’t tell me…

Okay, I’ve watched the Atlantis season premier episode Search and Rescue and overall I was very pleased. Still, I’m holding off my review because I was left with several questions I’m going to have to find answers for before I can write my comments on the episode (that little block of text on the episode detail page where I say something meaningful–one hopes–about the show).

Possible spoilers follow.

Henry’s new look (Eureka)

Henry Deacon - EurekaNotice Henry’s hairlessness? I think it’s a good look for him, but it does make him look different! Certainly, it’s not how I’m used to seeing one of my favorite Eureka characters.

Season two added complexity to Henry’s character, and I’m not sure what season three brings for him, but there are hints. See the item titled “Who’s coming back to Eureka in Season three?” at eurekafan.com.

This photo is from the season three cast pics.

Stargate SG-1 without General Hammond

Don S. Davis has died, and with his passing, I feel like an essential part of Stargate SG-1 has gone missing. What is Stargate SG-1 without General Hammond? General Hammond, Stargate SG-1To be frank, when changes came to Stargate SG-1 in season seven, I missed Hammond more than I missed Jack at first. Maybe because his leaving was so abrupt, but Jack’s dragged out. By the time Jack became the General, it was a have-to case of him either moving on or ruining the show with his continued absences.

That’s not to say I didn’t miss Jack (Richard Dean Anderson) when he left, because I certainly did. But Hammond had always seemed like such an integral part of the series. I came to like Landry quite well after a while, but he was no Hammond.

I’ve posted news about Don Davis’s death for those who might want to know the details of Davis’s passing.

Which one is better…Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman or Catherine Tate?

Hmm…this one is a hard decision for me. Well, partly. Billie and Freema are my two favorite Doctor Who companions since the relaunch of the series in 2005. Frankly, poor Catherine’s character is such a smarty pants most times that it makes it hard to watch.

Anyway, I’d love to know who your favorite Doctor Who companion is. All three will be appearing throughout the season, but mostly you’ll get to see “The Runaway Bride” Donna Noble who will be played by Catherine Tate. But Freema Agyeman, who was the Doctor’s companion Martha Jones in series three, does return during season four for “The Sontaran Strategem”, “The Poison Sky”, “The Doctor’s Daughter”, and two episodes in the finale. And, Billie Piper, who was Rose Tyler through two doctors and starred in the first episode of the new series and on through series two and will be in the three final episodes of season four. You’ll have a chance to catch a bit of their personalities, and should be able to figure out who you like the best.

Until next time…
