Loved George's opening monologue, really moved me and made me think. And could George get more adorkable in this ep? 'who wants some of my chair?'!! genius!!
Mitchell and lauren-yup theres tears no 1. brilliantly done, dont wanna say too much for those who havent seen it yet but amazing.
Owen-the guy who plays Owen deserves a medal for this ep, he played smarmy, disgusting and evil perfectly. the scene with annie and him on the stairs took my breath away.
and Annie-dear, sweet Annie. Lenora is incredible, every week she becomes my favourite thing for one reason or another and this week was no exception. Her portrayal of Annie had me in tears at the end, i was actually sobbing when she was talking to George and Mitchell, and as i said im still teary from it.
and the end- dear god the end. Honestly how can you leave us like this??? how????? its not fair!!!
an incredible episode folks, i honestly wnt know what to do with myself when this show finishes. Please please please let us know soon if there will be a series 2.

Too good for words really, and still reeling again, but spot on script, spot on balance between (just brilliant) humour and darkness, spot on acting, spot on everything. I even really really liked Lauren Typical!
Amazing, amazing, AMAZING!

Can anyone refer me to a good Being Human forum because i really need to talk about this last episode but I don't want to spoil if for people by posting here.
I will say though that this episode was excellent!! Had me laughing out loud several times and yet in the last scene i was close to tears. Never before has a show made me go through such a range of emotions in a single episode. Never before have i come so close to tears because of a t.v show and it's rare that i even laugh out at a show. Seriously this program is amazing, it has got to be the best program on telly. But how can you leave us on a cliffhanger like that?!?! Now part of me really can't wait for next week but the other part of me wants to wait because along with next week bringing the next episode it also brings the end of the series. There has got to be a series two!!! I will stand outside the BBC in protest if there isn't. But please can we have all the same cast for next series as well. I've really grown to love them all.
Anyway I think that's all, sorry for the long post.

Really been enjoying the series thus far, but really, budget permitting can we let George's alter ego off the leash? ( No pun intended!) Perhaps i've just seen one two many Underworld movies to just accept him as the comedy side kick. He's a werewolf! One of him could easily KO a few podgy faced northern undead.
They allow Mitchell to wander about in the daytime but stick to the lore about lunar cycles for Lycanthropes?
Still one episode to go and hopefully a 2nd series, here's to hoping one dog finally gets his day!

Good work!
Lauren has totally redeemed her self for any needy pathetic manipulativeness. I might actually miss her. Please god don't let them write out any of the main characters and that includes Nina and Herrick.
I love that Annie knows the secret that drove Owen mad.
I want to know more than just sticks and rope, but terrified that if they explain it fully we can only be dissappointed and if they don't explain it, we will be eternally frustrated.
You've raised the bar and had better come through for us with the last episode. Oh and Mitchell had blimmen well better make it through to the end with out one overgelled hair on his pretty little head harmed.
one other class line right at the end - 'Well, in that case...we're going to need a different form.'

But oh my god seriously how could you leave it like that?!?! I really dont like you lot right now!! But Toby you said youd planned for a second series so he cant die can he? not mitchell not my mitchell :-( nooooooooooo he cant he cant ive convinced myself - hes too human to die like that - he became a vampire to save his men he didnt do it because he was selfish maybe this means something? and also he can look after georges star of david he isnt affected like the others are so maybe the stake too? lthogh im pretty convinced thatd ill anyone (oh by the way george you great nonse hes already technically dead how the hell is phoning an ambulance gonna help!!) oh i really hope im right this is gonna be such such a long week!!!! oh my god i cant say anything else im actually sat here saying oh my god over and over.
He cant die Mitchell cant die and Annie cant go not to the men with the sticks and the rope (by the way whoever asked - i assume that was the secret she told owen thats why mitchell said not to tell george - he doesnt need to know :-() but gilbert? gilbert went to a nice warm glow and he smiled he was happy????? so many questions they better get answered in the next episode!!
Oh my god ive just remembered something Toby put on one of his blogs :-D not gonna spoil it for everyone but woo i feel better now although i really dont see....oh my god!!!!!!!! lol im gonna stop typing now otherwise just gonna keep saying oh my god all night!!!!
thanks for a brilliant episode but you are so so so cruel for ending it like that!! athough ooh i think i might actualy have worked it out but still..... by the way loved the whole "Cant come in unless theyre invited" thing that was really really good and incredibly lucky for them!!
My god my heart is racing like you would not believe no doubt ill have loads more to say in a much calmer and more constructive way after a cup of tea and a think lol but for now...OH MY GOD!!

Maybe there's something in it about having to have fulfilled some kind of mission or journey or something? The deaths between human life and supernatural life (human to vamp, human to ghost) seem to be filled with horrible things, but so far the ultimate deaths (vamp to death, ghost to death) appear to be a much nicer experience.

The writing is spot on, the acting is first class, the music, the lovable characters... I could go on. It has the perfect mix of depth and humour.
I would be very surprised if there wasn't a season 2. My only concern is that the actors will move on to something else because I think they are perfectly placed in those roles.

I like this - release it first on I Player - it's like we have our own special screening...just for us!

(So funny that that is what a lot have people commented)
The whole series has been great but this episode just blew the rest out of the park, and that is going some.
Totally and utterly amazing. The comedy, the heartbreak and then the bloody awful cliffhanger at the end.
Just wonderful. Pass me the petition for series two.

Toby mentioned that he had written a hook in, that can lead on to the next series - so either there has to be a second series or we'll be left with a load of unanswered questions...NOOOO.
Also I loved Herricks little speech in the lift about being chosen, spoken like a true delusion dictator - nice touch.

Oh_Suzi, I agree Herrick's lift speech was a good touch. This programme is full of subtle but very accurate observations about cultures and behaviours, it's very good.
I also thought it was an interesting touch to bring in an old girlfriend o Mitchell's...bit more insight into Mitchell's past, highlighting how Mitchell is frozen in time etc.
Just waaay too much to comment on on this one.

Here's my theory.
Annie finds strange pants and confronts Owen.
Owen thinks crap! they are Janey's. I'll do the usual crap manipulatiive boy trick, I'll accuse her before she accuses me, divert attention and make her feel guilty.
Massive argument ensues and another opportuity for Owen to be abusive he gets carried away. Annie ends up dead. Thong somehow is covered in blood, he thinks crap they might trace it back to Janeys then me, he panicks and flushes them down the loo.
My flimsey circumstancial evidence:
1.We hear Owen say, 'Did you wear these for him Annie did you make him cum, you are nothing but a cheap whore.' waving thong in her face.
2.We now know for a fact Owen and Janey were having an affair whilst Annie was alive.
3.In Ep 5 Whilst waiting for Janey to come home home Annie is fiddling with the washing - namely a very familiar white thong.
Tada!

Why also did Lauren seem almost elated at the moment of passing if the terrible fate annie has hinted at awaited. Thing is Annie and Mitchell are the only ones who hint at knowing about what awaits, but in actual fact they only know what awaits in the first stage post death .. Annie has avoided going through the door and Mitchell was revived in the undead vampire state. So they really don't know what happens beyond the initial transition from life.

something thats not been raised yet i dont think - waht did everyone think of Michells costume in this one he suddenly becomes a lot more of a stereotypial vampre as far as looks goes - hes always worn black but always with a bit of colour like that bright yellow t shirt or the funky jackets and as soon as he goes back to them he seems to have dropped all that sticking to black shirts etc and quite skinny black jeans - think he looks a lot more "vampire-ish" than human. May just be me though lol maybe im reading too much into it as usual and his yellow t shirt/funky jackets were in the wash :-)

I need to watch again because this was so fast in plot and twists I'm sure I missed bits, ep 5 is BH + caffeine!
Again the humour mixed with the angst so I was in midst of a smile then 'hit' with a shock. The woman M knew from the '60's (I didn't catch her name) very wise, I wonder how many people know about vamps and could be what our three need for backup.
H coming to the house has me puzzled why vamps haven't before, did H order them not to? I only just remembered in time he can't enter unless one of them invites him in which they won't. L is gone? :-( But she just showed humanity! I actually liked S for being the weasel that he is, who else can irritate like that? I want to put "Jacob's Creeky" on a t-shirt if there are any cons for BH show.
Great detail from the writer, we've all been puzzling over G's amulet now this ep it has purpose 8-)
The gnome wallpaper is starting to grow on me, is that a sign I'm way too fanatic about the show ;-)
But ep 6 *can't* be the end of BH! The characters mean a lot to us and we're so drawn into the circumstances.
Off the top of my head the best moments of this ep for me were the "chair", "whisk and phone charger" the best weapons for heroes :-)
O is so bad Vamps don't recruit him because he might just rival H for meglomaniac "try to take over the world" levels!
I'm going to watch again now so I can follow what was going on in this ep

i would be surprised if they didn't also pick up on the rice story that the oldest vampire makes the strongest, new recruits.
but maybe that's me... i was a 14 year old anne rice junkie.

One would assume that you can't get to Herrick's police position by just walking in off the street but would have to be established and have climbed the ladder. Also Mitchell seems to have ben around in one place(Bristol - yay!) for a long time, surprised more people from the past would not have spotted the fact he hasn't aged apart from the ex girlfriend this week.

Any ideas what Herrick was taking just before the "who wants some of my chair!" scene? well vampires cant get ill so itcouldnt have been medication and i cant somehow imagine herick being on drugs - blood is the drug isnt it. so any ideas?
I dont rckon therell be a preview tll be too muc of giveaway bout mitchell and annie wont it. But blood comes out f Mitchells mouth that didnt happen to Lauren which leads me to believe that he might be injured not dying and as someone pointed out the stake is throgh the top right of his chest not in the centre like laurens. Im not sure about Seth - we didt see him die i have 2 theories - either 1. this is to make Laurens death more dramatic as we don know whats coming or 2. hes nt actually dead - he is credited to episde 6 so im not sure about him...hmm so many questions!!

If series 2 was set in the next life or they are all somehow stuck in between the two and it's about them trying to get back. So maybe Annie does go through the door and Mitchell does die and George saying "it's time" is him deciding to commit suicide. It's just a theory and i don't really believe it myself because i don't see how they could have a whole series set in the afterlife but i just thought i would throw it out there.
