Tonight SyFy's new hit show Being Human concluded it's pilot episode. After the first part had over 3 million viewers it's a safe bet to think this show will last a while. We receive a few answers to the questions from the beginning. First it seems Aidan was turned into a vampire during the Revolutionary War, which is the likely reason he lives in Boston. We also learn how Josh and Sally each reached their monstrous fates.
Early on the cliffhanger from the last episode is resolved in the first ten minutes, and Josh has to deal with the consequences of his werewolf nature through out the episode. Also it's nice to see that so far Aidan isn't just a ripoff of David Boreanaz's Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Aidan is an American vampire through and through. Having watched Joss Whedon's Buffy and Angel last summer, I've begun to have a skewed view of supernatural shows. True Blood is essentially a rip off but with nudity and harsh language. So far Being Human seems to stand apart from those three shows.
Sally is trying to come to terms with her sudden break up from her fiance, even though neither of them wanted to break up, and it was her death that split them apart in the first place. One of the best lines from this episode was when she said "I'd crap rainbows!" at the thought of him actually seeing her. However, I kind of wonder if maybe there is more to her death than what we know thus far.
At the beginning of the first episode Aidan accidentally kills a girl from work, Rebecca, on their first date. When Bishop, the leader of the Boston vampire's clean up team arrived on the scene they didn't just clean up, they turned her into a vampire. She's now haunting the park killing when she can. It's when Josh discovers her that we discover that vampires don't like the taste or smell of werewolves. She's a wild newborn vampire and always ready to cause trouble.
Having been a huge fan of LOST I'm actually glad that this show doesn't end with a huge cliffhanger at the end of every episode. I liked it on LOST but that show also kind of made me expect it in everything and look for it and kind of ruin other shows. Luckily with Being Human I've been surprised at how the episodes end, and I'm pleasantly surprised that they're not "HOLY CRAP!" moments every time. Anyway, tune in next week for a short recap on episode 3.
