1.) Being Human is back!

- I really enjoyed the episode and am glad it's back. Am saying this first as not everything I am going to say about it is entirely positive.

- Could've done with more humour, it was a bit doom and gloom, and though that makes sense given their situation, but I prefer things a bit lighter.

- "There was a werewolf called Nina on Buffy." OH ANNIE ILU. See also: all Annie's other scenes, apart from a few bits in the pub when I was hiding due to embarrassment squick. Her interview scene was just adorable. (Hugh was v. sweet, too. Me saying that probably guarantees that he will end up evil and/or dead.)

- I cannot stand George. Like, at all. I understand that finding out you've accidentally turned your girlfriend into a werewolf is rather distressing, but couldn't he have shown her a tiny fragment of concern? Even just an "are you ok?" or an "I know how hard this is" would've helped. But nooooo, it's all about his pain. Argh. If I were awarding a prize for the thing I said the most whilst watching, "shut UP, George" would win hands down. (I did guffaw when he called Mitchell "deadly furniture" (or whatever the line was, I cannot remember and no-one seems to have quoted it yet), though.

- The Nina/Annie scenes were WIN. More of those!

- Mitchell! ♥ I love how much he cares about people, his little family in particular. And that doctor woman! He bought her a fish inna jar! And the final scene, where he's so pleased to be part of the street community! (I was just thinking "hey, don't they all think he's a paedophile?" when that woman was all "hey, sorry we all thought you were a paedophile that time, we were totes wrong. :D?", heh.) And I love that he appreciates Annie's tea making as her coping strategy, however weird he personally might find it.

- OOO PLOT. Interesting.

2.) Best thing about snow? The "Your Pictures" section on the BBC website. *browses happily*

3.) I was skimming through my copy of About Time 4 last night, looking at which stories are on their way, when I noticed that instead of page 311 they've printed page 11 again. Disaster! I don't suppose any of you have a copy and would be willing to scan or photocopy the relevant page? I would be v. grateful! Otherwise I'll try and have a moan at Amazon...

I agree with you that it was a bit doom and gloom at the start. I did find myself wondering for a bit if I'd managed to delude myself about the comedic elements of the episode, that I'd made more of them than they actually were because it was hard going there for a bit. But as you said, that was understandable so it was nice continuity that they didn't just go 'oh we did all that stuff and we're find now, tra la la'.
Agree with you about George. When he crumpled up and started crying, a very George thing to do, I did want Nina to thump him.
I heart Annie so much. Mitchell is as handsome as ever. Nuff said.

I'm so glad the show is back!!

I noticed the same thing with regard to About Time 4 - I'm still waiting for an answer to my email (to Mad Norwegian Press) about that!

...Yeah, sounds like they had an issue with the printer messing up: I've heard of this sort of thing happening, but usually it's caught before the books are shipped to customers. MNP are probably tearing their hair out trying to figure out how to fix the situation.
