So since there’s no Revenge I watched 1x02

So here’s another bullet list! Yay.

• This guy. HIS MOUTH. I can’t. However his body… I can.
• I am loving the homoerotic tension with Bishop. I don’t even care if that’s really what it is, or if it’s just vampire tension… It’s hilarious.
• I don’t know why but every time I watch and remember something I want to go back to watching UK version. See how they did it. That’s not really the point of watching a show is it? Hopefully this feeling will go away.
• It’s not a lot of fun to watch ‘exciting moments’ when you already know what is going to happen. I thought this show was going in a different direction, but I guess from what I’ve seen on Tumblr I can brace myself for a lot of repetitive situations. hmpf.
• Aidan’s super strength. I love how this is addressed [bar scene! yay] but in the scene where he rescues Josh’s sister it’s ridiculously badly done and just looks… ridiculous.
• That said JOSH’S TRANSFORMATION BOTHERS ME SO MUCH ugh why is his chest doing the poking out thing? [it looks tacky] I have to admit I really enjoyed that scary bone-breaking-cracking-growing thing they do on the UK version. It also feels longer and more excruciating and realistic… I feel like the ones we’ve seen from Josh so far [that’s a whole three transformations in two episodes!!!] they seem very fast and not as horrific. The scene where George transforms inside the house is very good for setting up that feel, after that yes, you could see less of it or have it go faster but in Josh’s case I think they did it the wrong way around.
• Rebecca sweetie, you have nothing on Lauren. When she confronted Josh, it wasn’t nearly as poetic as when Lauren did it. I don’t think this because I know what’s happening - it’s because Lauren probably had more to work with. Anyhoo.
• There is not enough house bonding time. We still don’t really know how Josh was turned, even though the opening shot sort of shows it. I need him to tell it.
• Sally flying through the air just looked really weird? She’s going face down but she ends up face up? What? What was the point?
• Where is the humorous trio? >:[ not enough of this.
• Also not enough bromance. Hmhm.
• I was rooting for the sister plot because it’s new and different and then it just goes pffffrt.
• Josh calling everyone monsters, it breaks my heart every time.
• I’ve realised Danny looks like Julian from Hellcats and it’s not the same actor! Maybe that’s why he creeps me out? Haha.

… and I just [sort of] rewatched UK pilot and first episode, gee…. TOBY FOR ALL THE AWARDS FOR CREATING SUCH AN EPIC SHOW. But UK first episode really needs that information from the pilot, even if they went in a slightly different direction afterwards. Nice to see that amalgamation.
