* I'm taking a snow day today. It's not too bad out there now, but it's supposed to get worse later and I don't fancy being stuck at work. Meh. They used to close the base where I work for inclement weather, or at least delay, but now they rarely ever do, since the person who makes those decisions now is from somewhere a lot snowier than here. But at least I can do some housework and writing. Emphasis on writing.

* Started class yesterday. Not much to report on that front yet. It seems okay so far.

* I watched the first episode of Being Human yesterday, and I really like it. I tried the pilot that came out a few months ago, and while it was alright, I wasn't exactly riveted. They changed out two of the main cast, for the better, I think, because the girl they had playing the ghost really got on my nerves before and I like the new actress much better. They kept Russell Tovey though, from The History Boys? He is the most adorable thing ever and I love his character. I'll definitely keep watching, unlike Demons, which I tried and couldn't quite stand. :P

That's it for now, I think. *hugs*

Oh no! *smites LJ* I hate when LJ eats my comments.

I thought the old Mitchell was better too, actually -- actually, not him so much as his storyline. The actors they had playing the 'bad' vampires were better and the writing was sharper.

And Demons? Man. I could barely get past the opening credits, unfortunately. Just really campy-looking and cheesy, and borrowing the entire cast from Hex, LOL.

As for the comedic thing -- yeah, definitely. The thing about Being Human was that all the promotions leading up to the premiere made it look like it was campier and more comedy-focused than it actually is. So it was a pleasant surprise when I actually saw it. :D

I think the thing that stops Being Human from faling into the cheese trap is where it come from and the characterisations of the three central characters. The pilot was part of a series of one off to do with fitting in? I think, or something along that line. And that gives it a more appealing level for me because the dynamics seem a stronger element and I always enoy that more.

I liked the mistique of the vampires in the pilot too. It seemed darker.
