Being Human

We'll see on the new girl. Hopefully there'll be an interesting dynamic between her and Hal.
I'll certainly miss the Mum/Big sister figure that was Annie though, although I think Hal will step into this rule relatively well, albeit somewhat more unstable.

I just hope they develop or make more of the new girls powers though, Annie's were always very undefined.

Yep, they've confirmed it was her last episode, there's a nice little goodbye Annie episode on the blog.

Annie was my favourite throughout, and I am sad she's gone - especially as Lenora who plays her is just as nice in life as well. She bought a warmth to the show, no matter the situation.

My Nina love was fairly brief, I can't say she was ever a favourite, but I didn't hate her by the end of the 3rd series, when I pretty much had done at the start. Great actress, but the character didn't work too well for me

I went to the screening of the first episode of Series 2 - the bar was full of sofas and lights and stuff to look like the front room in the Bristol house. All the other cast members waved hello, and then went into the screening - Lenora got there early, dressed as Annie, and wandered around making people tea. It was brilliant, and i'm somewhat attached to her as a result. Genuinely gutted to see her go.

Hopefully, (and trying to put this as spoilerfree as possible for Xtreme), what happened to new ghost (Alex), after her death/at her death, will maybe turn her a bit darker?

After all, we met Annie sometime after her death...

I do hope they go down the dark ghost route. After all, I don't think Tom will go dark, just maybe grow up/less innocent a bit, and they've done the Hal struggling and overcoming his urges this season. Hopefully he'll be a bit lighter next season

Yeah, I really like the dynamic between them. I think they're so different that they'll always wind each other up, although it was nice to see Tom admit that he was his best mate. Hopefully there'll be more cafe stuff - that was very, very funny.
The humour was really lacking in Series 3, I'm extremely glad to have it back

So I finally watched the finale! It was just WOW...

What a brilliant send off for Annie. Perfect. Lenora got to put on the full works, humor, drama and kicking major ass. I watched the "Goodbye Annie" video on youtube and I agree, there was no where else for the character to go after saving the world and killing off the most powerful vampires in the world. I'll miss her tremendously, but such a perfect and fitting ending to a character. Loved when she went through the door, looking both excited and content. Perfect way for her to go.

Loved the little moments between Hal and Tom throughout. They'll be able to carry the show on without a problem. I wish they would have gotten to say goodbye to Annie or we could have had their reactions. It sort of just jumped to Hal being tied up...

Definitely not feeling great about new ghost Alex. Wow did she grate on my nerves and as the show went on, I felt the actress got progressively worse, which is strange. I'm kind of hoping she doesn't stick around. Plus I don't feel good that the third member of the gang seems to have such an attachment to Hal. It was okay when Nina joined the cast because the three core still existed but to have that relationship when it's just the three of them, I worry that Tom will be off on his own little stories and not with the group. So yeah, I wouldn't mind if we say bye-bye to Alex.

I sort of wish ghost adult Eve stuck around and became the house ghost. Yeah I know it couldn't be possible because she didn't exist and because she had to have that dramatic disappearing moment where she confirmed to Annie that she did the right thing...but I would have liked if she reappeared outside, forced to be pretty much a ghost forever because she's not just a ghost with unfinished business, she's a ghost who never existed. Basically a ghost of a ghost or some far fetched Doctor Who logic haha.

It could also relate back to how the war child could save the world because I'm still confused. How exactly will all vampires die now? Plus it would make it less depressing to now that George, Nina and Annie's(yeah I'm including her) baby was just born to die. If she was born to become a powerful ghost like Annie, that would work.

I just feel she'd be a better fit. She has both a past and future with the characters. She connects to Annie, George, Nina and even Mitchell, while also having her own established connections/views on Tom and Hal. I think she would have been perfect in the post Annie era. Alex, not so much.

So the government knows about the supernaturals...I hope they aren't the villains. They didn't seem very menacing but where more of a nice "oh so that exists", if they become another player in the world that could work but not the big bad for next season. I'm still sort of hoping that Alex becomes an angry, vengeful ghost,

Hah I felt so bad for the social worker, I wouldn't mind if she came back. Not sure how'd she work in the house.

And yeah, Eve would have great journey towards "Being Human", I feel Alex is already there...which I guess so was Annie but in terms of Annie, and I believe she said this sometime during season 1, after she died was the first time she lived. Can we really go through that with Alex again?

And yeah I wasn't a big fan of Annie/Mitchell, only because it made Annie seem pathetic just because Mitchell was such a mess come season 3. Still a ghost relationship would work for Ha, no germs, hardly feeling the touch, and no sex haha. But yeah I really hope it doesn't happen!

I loved Cutler, he was terrific. His ending was gruesome. Seriously, that was just gross haha. But I loved that scene. It was so tense. Whoever played Cutler was terrific, as was Lenora.

And yeah ghosts are definitely the easiest to introduce, so if Alex does go bad(and I hope she does...Maybe she like possesses people, feeds them to Hal haha)...

It's just going to be weird that there will NO connection to the original gang at all. I don't count the B&B, as it wasn't the original home.

Hmm that's true, though Alex's family doesn't live in Barry. She was visiting there. I wonder how that will play into things.

Also I wonder if the new werewolf will be part of the next season. I liked him. I thought the actor did well. In fact in his ten minutes of screen time, I liked him more then Alex haha'

PS: Just read that it's confirmed ALex is the new ghost.. Bummed. I hope they improve on her big time.

Also in the same article I read that The Fades won't get another/series...also bummed. I had read that did well in the ratings :(

I caught up on Being Human...and I have to say that this thread is going to look like an old X-Factor thread because I agree with everyone else about Annie and Alex.

Plus, as shallow as it sounds, I'm going to be sad to not see Annie's beautiful face anymore. Alex is cute...in a kinda sorta wannabe edgy way, she looks like a mix of Rachel McAdams and Maggie G. But she's no Annie.

I do like Hal and Tom more than I like Mitchell and George...alot more

YES!!!! I was so irritated by the no shoe laces LOL...

And I agree 100% about Annie. She made the show for me alot of the time. And you are spot on about Mitchell and George. George was someone who was on par to live a relatively normal life, in some ways. But Mitchel brought him down. You really see this at the start of this most recent season. I think that's what made George's fate so sad to me. And Mitchel became unlikable after awhile. I'm usually all for the main characters in a TV show. But I really got frustrated with his antics.

Anyone caught the Series 5 opening episodes?

Great start to the last *sniff sniff* series, Hal and Tom still play off each other perfectly, and Alex got lots of serious focus. Not quite sure why Captain Hatch wanted Alex away from the other two; he seemed overly conscious about 'The Trinity'. Need to go back and watch Episode 1 (didn't know the series had started, so had to jump on at episode 2). The Men with Sticks and Rope were as frightening as ever.
