I hope we’re friends until we die. And then I hope we stay ghost friends and walk through walls and scare the shit out of people. I saw this Someecard on Facebook the other day, and it sent me on an interesting thought tangent. My best friend and I have mused about haunting people when we die. Over the years, [...]

Previously on Being Human (Last Week) In our lives, we all suffer from loss. Sometimes in greater measures than others. We lose small things and we’re bothered by their disappearance, only until they’re replaced. And then there are the larger things that we lose, like loved ones, that take a greater toll on us. And it is losses such as [...]

Am I just crazy or have all the good movie monsters disappeared and all that’s left to frighten the general masses (barely frighten, that is) are ghosts, vampires, and zombies? What the hell happened?! When I was growing up we had a plethora of movie monsters just waiting to give us the heebie-jeebies, and now all that seems to be [...]

Previously on Syfy’s Being Human. [Last Week] Inner demons. Everybody’s got ‘em. Even those people who seem so perfect, like they have everything together, have their demons. And monsters are no exception. Theirs are probably even worse. As we’ve seen in the previous weeks, Sally’s (Meaghan Rath) been dealing with a reaper that turned out to be all in her [...]

Previously on Being Human (Last Week) Sometimes, old friends and new acquaintances enter our lives and change things for the better. Then there are the times when they show up and screw everything up. We’ve already seen the return of Josh’s (Sam Huntington) ex-fiancee, Julia (Natalie Brown). Now, his former best friend, Stu (Jay Baruchel), the one that was slaughtered the night [...]

[Previously on Being Human] Click to read about last week’s episode. This week, we learn that old friends and loved ones aren’t safe from our monster trio’s present problems. First, Sally’s (Meaghan Rath) new reaper/stalker “friend” has given her an ultimatum – Become a reaper OR get reaped. A difficult decision for such a sweet and caring ghost to make. So [...]

misconception (n) – a false or mistaken view, opinion, or attitude. Tonight’s episode was all about misconception. Sometimes, especially with monsters, things aren’t always what they seem. I mean, you wouldn’t know Josh (Sam Huntington) was a werewolf or Aidan (Sam Witwer) was a vampire just by looking at them. So one might not realize someone or something is what they [...]

Try as you might, you can’t escape your past. Even the post powerful of beings can’t avoid a sordid history of events. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts; they all have their “demons.” And their demons tend to be worse than those from the normal folks. Now that Aidan (Sam Witwer) has jumped back into his old drinking habits, he’s becoming so blood-drunk [...]

As I’m sure most of us know, from either experience or just common knowledge, addiction can be an all-consuming life destroyer. Even if you’re a supernatural being, and especially if you’re a supernatural being trying to act human. In that instance, it’s even more harrowing. Aidan’s (Sam Witwer) falling back into his old life and falling hard, no thanks to [...]

Caution: There will be spoilers! You know those moments in life when you think everything is going so right;  then, out of nowhere, they just turn to crap and you’re left wondering what the hell happened? That’s what this episode is all about. Well, sort of. Aidan (Sam Witwer) is still dealing with the hunger pangs stemming from his lack [...]

I’m one of the many people that are always skeptical when someone in “Hollywood” gets the bright idea to do a remake of something that was already great in its foreign form. I’m even more skeptical when it’s done by SyFy. The channel doesn’t exactly have the greatest history with their in-house productions. The quality is typically sub-par to say [...]
