B5 and Being Human

[luckykaa]

Separate spoiler cut.


Being Human

So we have a control freak werewolf, a recovering bloodaholic vampire, and an agoraphobic ghost. I do find myself trying to assign characters to people I know. Liked the comment about Hufflepuff playing with safety scissors and glitter all day.

I want a ghost to live with me and obsessively make me tea all day.

Babylon 5 Season 5

I somehow remember this being a lot worse than it is. There's plenty of intrigue, some character destruction, and a couple of imaginative episodes such as "The corps is Mother, the corps is Father". The Interstellar Alliance is nicely still not the Federation. All the member races are in it mainly for themselves, so will do things that are not the right thing to do.

Season 5 wasn't bad - It however started slowly after the rollercoaster that was season 4.

Fickle that they are people moaned - By the time you get to the second half of the season its pretty good in fact ...

One of the reason shows are best watched in blocks is that story arcs gel better..

"Hufflepuff playing with safety scissors and glitter all day"

Yes, that was ace! Although most of my friends choose Slytherin? Do you know if there will be more Being Human, or if it was a one-shot, or if it was a pilot? I couldn't work it out...

Encouraging re Series 5 (just about to start that), though I'm not sure at the moment if this means "it'll be better than you might expect", or if I am therefore obligedto watch it more than once before I start appreciating it... o.o
