Take a look at these faces. They did NOT need to be recast in a US version. Syfy’s version of the BBC hit Being Human does not impress me. At all. I won’t even bother to use the Syfy version’s character’s names, so I’ll just make the comparisons based on the far superior original’s characters. You know, the ones that actually show us what being human is all about.
Mitchell is hot. Mitchell is a bit out of time. Mitchell is the heart of the group. New-Mitchell is just a vampire with no personality. Annie is adorable. Annie makes us long for the same things she’s hoping for. Annie introduces us to each of the group and makes us sympathize with them from the moment she starts speaking. New-Annie is not cute, and we don’t care anything about her after the entire first episode. George is a dorky, but well-meaning spaz. In both versions. I give this character a PUSH.
In the original version, the trio has been together for a short time, thus forming their relationships prior to our first look into their lives (or deaths, as the case may be). In this new version, I don’t think these characters are ever going to exhibit the same level of care and respect for each other; the markers just aren’t there. I attribute the failure of the Syfy version primarily to the cast. They just aren’t that good. Their interactions are forced and cold. I get nothing emotional from any of them, and that’s the key to what makes the original so perfect. Within moments, I think Mitchell, Annie, and George had all the viewers cheering them on. I don’t care what happens to these new kids. Fortunately, the BBC Being Human resumes this week, so I can stop even thinking about this unnecessary venture.
Oh, and don’t get me started on the fact that there were NO Arctic Monkeys songs in the Syfy version. WHAT?!?!?
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.

to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?

It’s amazing to pay a quick visit this web site and reading the views of all colleagues regarding this article, while
I am also eager of getting knowledge.
I’m not sure why but this web site is loading incredibly slow for
me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue
on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
For hottest information you have to go to see internet and on internet I found this site as a most excellent site for latest updates.
No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, so he/she wants to be available
that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained over here.
I think everything posted was very logical. But, consider this, what if you wrote a catchier title?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a title that makes people want more?
I mean Being Inhuman | Fandom Love is kinda vanilla. You could
peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create post headlines to grab people
to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture
or two to get readers interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it might make
your posts a little bit more interesting.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be
exactly I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers
to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on most
of the subjects you write concerning here. Again,
awesome blog!

thus I just use world wide web for that reason, and obtain the hottest news.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.

at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of
a good platform.
Highly energetic blog, I liked that a lot. Will there be a part 2?
