Being Human - S02E05

Seeing Mitchell (Aidan Turner) in 1969 was such a treat. It was so perfect, and fantastic. We were able to learn so much about what happened to him back then, what he was like and how he changed, how he was already different even then. And while the episode did focus mostly on Mitchell, I did like the small developments we got with George (Russell Tovey) and Annie (Lenora Crichlow).

So, Annie is still not visible. It's possible that that's not going to happen again, which is a little disappointing. I mean, it completely limits the possibilities of what the writers can do with her character if she can only interact with other supernatural beings. Then again, if ghosts start randomly dropping by her house all of the time, that could be quite entertaining. Seeing her deal with a ghost baby and go from incapable to really happy was very sweet, though the idea of a ghost baby is just depressing. Then again, we also learnt that ghosts have active social lives and go on dates with each other and such, so maybe Annie will have an alright time of it.

As for George, I totally agree with Mitchell. He's going to crash and burn and take Sam (Lucy Gaskell) with him because he's not being careful at all. He's still mad about Nina (Sinead Keenan) and the moment he sees her again, he'll be just as much of a mess as he was before. Besides, if he infected Nina, he can infect others, including the daughter! It'll be interesting to see how that sorts itself out.

But, really, it was all about Mitchell. I loved, LOVED the flashback segments. The moment I realized just who the girl was, I felt such joy. It was a perfect moment. Josie (Charlene McKenna) was the love of Mitchell's life until now. She allowed him to be himself, to not feel the urge to feed. The notion that Lucy (Lyndsey Marshall) is going to replace that is hilarious - she doesn't have the same kind of compassion for one man that Josie had. Lucy sees the entire race and their place in society. Frankly, Mitchell's had problems ever since it became about his people and not just about himself. Killing that cop is going to have some pretty awful consequences. What those are, I can't really say yet, but things are about to get worse, and they were already pretty bad.

So where does it go from here? Annie still can't be seen, George has become practically manic and blind to sense, Nina is still in the hands to those insane people, and Mitchell is holding back chaos with Scotch tape. What do you think will happen next?
