I still hate that ScyFy name.
Anyways, did anyone watch the premier? Thoughts?

Whats in a name if your entertained, I don't mind SyFy one bit...
I'm dvring the pilot now, I'll compare it to the great original BBC version of Being Human, I'm not sure if I'll like this cast over the British cast...

The BBC version is really good... it's my wife's favorite show, ever. Like, she's willing to learn about Bit Torrents to try to get season 3 before next year (starts in the UK next week)
Like most shows they try to Americanize from the BBC, I'm sure this one will won't be as good as the orignal. The wife is boycotting it 100% (I suspect it's because Mitchell doesn't have good hair on the American version, but I digress) If you think you like the show, Trav, go watch the original.. you won't be disappointed.

I watched the season opener and it's not bad, it's pretty much the same as the BBC version with a few different things. I like the actor who is playing Bishop the head Vampire in the American version over his British counter part, anyway it's not bad just strange to have two of the samething going on at the same time...
I do have to say and this is off subject, the american series adapted to British in the Law&Order:UK series is really good with Jamie Bamber of Battlestar Galactica and Freema Agyeman who played Martha Jones in Dr.Who are in it...

For a year or so, I co-hosted a role-playing game podcast on the D20 radio network. Sam Witwer, who plays Aidan the Vampire, was a regular guest on the networks flagship podcast "Order 66" (a Star Wars gaming podcast). My wife has become a big fan of his (they're facebook friends... He's on her list... etc.), so she's forcing me to watch with her.

So the wife decided to check out the first ep on Demand.. wow is it terrible. No offense to Book's friend, but the acting is ever worse than the usually by ScyFy crew, and they killed most of the interesting plot lines of the british show in the 1st episode.
If you even remotely liked it, go watch the British version, it's about 1000X better.

I had high hopes for this series...so far...to me...it has just fell flat.
It is a difficult watch. If it doesn't get better soon...it'll be off my Tivo list.

Unless it's sports, and sometimes I do that, but I DVR everything (mostly because of kids and can FF thru commercials). I've been watching and agree "something" is missing. I'll watch and give it time to get going though. The werewolf's sister is bad though along with the gap tooth nurse trying to hook up with the vampire

I'm tellin' you guys, go watch the real version.
Just to give you an idea:
The werewolf has no sister.. he has a girlfriend instead, which makes ALOT more sense.
The Vampire doesn't actually kill the girl in the first ep he turns her, which is one of the major plot points of the 1st season.
The Ghost and her financee are also a major story, also.

The Vampire didn't kill the girl, he thought so but they showed her in the preview for the season that she comes back and Bishop even hinted at it, but I forgot this show was even on since I don't look at SyFy's schedule with all my shows they had are gone...

That's good.. that was a pretty major storyline they seems to have messed up immediately... I only watched the 1st ep.

I don't know if you were quoting me or Wildfire, but the one i was talking about was the girl who was bitten by the one he turned
