shapinglightBrief thoughts behind cut.
I only just watched the episode this morning (was watching Prof Cox jetting around the world interpreting the periodic table last night). I'm not sure I know what to think. Yes, it was a very good episode, and yes what happened with Mitchell was inevitable after the massacre at the end of season 2, and I'm glad that the show followed through on what it set up and didn't give the character a last minute excuse to get him off the hook, but I'm sort of sad it retroactively 'contaminated' the George/Mitchell/Annie relationship in season 1, even though in view of what's happened that was obviously the truth of the matter.
I also can't help remembering the various times when someone in AtS would promise Angel they'd kill him dead if they had to and thinking, but no one ever would have done it, would they? Any idea that Joss was telling that kind of story (and fair enough, he wasn't) was killed stone dead when he brought Angel back in BtVS season 3.
Being Human is either much braver, or possibly much stupider. Dunno about anyone else, but I really don't want a season 4.
ETA: Not that the BBC ever listens to me, of course.
