Fantastic. Answers so many questions, leaves so many more.
I shouted, laughed and cried. I don't know how you manage to creates those responses in every episode.
I am just still reeling.
I can't wait 'til next week.
Very, very, very well done indeed.

I guessed it too. It's not about that. It's about the fantastic way it's all put crafted together - the scripts, acting, direction, production, themes, everything. Please don't pick holes.

Best episode yet...Annie seems to be getting a lot more solid as well! I wonder how she'd going give Owen his comeuppance.

I was unable to watch the third episode but managed to watch the second and fourth. This is the first show I have gotten into since 1994, and four or five of the actors look like people I know, which has not happened since 1988. On one hand, hard to believe it would not exist if not for Internet support. On the other, it hardly seems like television, or else I might have gotten interested in another show since 1994. I want to recommend it to a handful of friends but figure they cannot watch it yet. Then again, I can hardly shut up about it, either. I hope this comes across as a sincere compliment instead of unfocused ramblings.

This was like being hit by a ton of bricks!
I barely had time to process one shocker then along came another!
How did the guys manage to control themselves facing O after knowing what he did?
M is really really angsty character, I thought G might be the angstiest but it's a tie, I can't choose. Then A brings a whole 'nother level with *her* pain so this ep I'm cut-up three ways.
It had to be a child, they always bring the sharpest pain.
Great camera shot for bed scene I thought F had said no to M's offer so was shock to see when he was coming up stairs to the platform. But if L struggled how can a *child* resist vamp urges???
Also was this a farewell to L, is she not going to return after this ep?
And just when I thought I figured out N the writer sneaks more in with a further shade to the character - the twists keep coming and I can't focus on one.
BH is like a giant ball of yarn. Or an onion. It has layers. Maybe it's like spaghetti.
G is my fave character but I find myself caring what the other two are put through as well. Usually I like one character and don't really take much notice anyone else in a TV show but I have to say not the case here.
We have two more eps of the series to go and I'm wishing we had the start all over again.
This ep was so fast-paced with twists I can't tell what but something really dark due next since M went to H at the end there; M hurting so is he going to hurt and kill with G and A trying to pull him back?????
Curse that mob in the street though; M, G, and A fed them biscuits and tea/coffee for *weeks* (and listened to their life stories eg the Vin Diesel fanatic) but they decided to judge anyway. They don't deserve our three who try so much to be accepted. I don't claim to be supernatural but I know the hurt of being judged and alienated all too well. Curse that mob and let's see something happen where they *need* M, G, and A's help then they can have a big plate of humble pie. Life is hard enough without adding to it.

And the poor lad he turned into a vampire will be a boy vampire for the rest of his life. No growing up...Remember Kirsten Dunst's character in Interview with a Vampire? He's going to be one frustrated vampire in a decade or two. So is Mitchell really off the wagon, or is there something deeper going on? Just watched the pilot on YouTube - and wasn't dissapointed. I care about what happens to all the characters - can't wait for the next episode!

Watched it last night and now sitting down to watch it again!
Thank you so much for such a great series, I just can't beleive it will be over in 2 weeks...
I love the opening scene and especially the last part of it with Michell "walk through life" showing us what he has tried to be throughout his all "unlife".
But what an episode! So many twists, I think I may have whiplash... :-)
but I have one question... is it possible that Herrick or Seth was the driver of the car who killed the boy? ... in a bid to get Mitchell to do exactly what he talked about in ep 1: going public and offering grieving parents a choice... I just can't beleive this would just a coincidence... and I wonder what will happen (if I am right) when Mitchell works that one out...
Music wise... please please please... is a cd going to be released? or... can we have a song list for all the ep. and make our own compilation?

I was with eveyone else i tink - knew as soons he tod him togo and get a dvd that he'd et his ands on that one but i was still sat going noooo dot watch it! lol. This episode really really is the best so far Mitchell is m favourite chrcter and this episode really made me think - made me doubt thngs i thought about him! I suppose Herrick was right about his life as it is being a "fad" his walk of life bit at the start proves that - he changes so often trying to fit in somewhere who will he be next? I love the character hes fantastic and i dont want him to turn "bad" when hes with annie and george hes so lovely and "normal" and then he does something like turning that little boy nto a vampire? never thought i would see that - not an innocnt child when he felt so bad about lauren and couldnt do it to becca??? Woah confused!!
As for the person driving the car - it had to be Herrick Seth or Lauren didnt it? But then how did they know hed be there - in the middle of the street?? but then lauren sawim with the boy bowling and did the "goodbye" bit she ulnt have done th unless she knew hed have a reason to come back she wouldnt really let him go. OH MY GOD so many questions so much argh lol loved the bit where he scared off those bratty little kids lol oh how id love to be able to do that when i was at school!! Oh come on episode 5! I really hope episode 6 isnt final i hope to god theres a series 2!! love it love it love it!! Oh Mitchell please dont go bad (although if i was him i think i probaly would - after all - humans come and go dont they hes gotta be stuck with the vampires forever...)

As for Lauren I cant make my mind up I do like her as a character shes interesting but she does get a bit irritating i suppose but she is supposed to lol its supposed to annoy us what shes doing to Mitchell but in this episode we realise its not really her its him - hes the one who wants to go back - as soon as she plays hard to get hes dying to go with her - he looks so dissapointed when she says goodbye and doesnt think twice about following her to the door its proof playing hard to get works unfortunately lol

Got serious fit of giggles lol and also got my mum to watch it (it was hard work she doesnt like "far fetched sci fi crap - shes an emmerdale woman through and through :-)) anyway she loved it and she cracked up at that bit too.

But then I decided vampire behaviour seems to be a parallel for addict鈥檚 behaviour. In fact Mitchell is possibly more human than he realises as 'saving Burnie' demonstrates compassion, weakness, hypocrisy and the bizarre twisted complex logic that humans follow.

He's an addict and he happens to be on a right downer, which is when you're most vulnerable to temptation. Herrick has planted the seeds of an idea in his head to save children in hospitals. The human in him probably can't cope with watching another person close to him die.

Maybe because he's finally given up trying to be good and has accepted he can't fight nature and he is tired of hurting everyone he gets close to and he is safer with his own kind???
..Or perhaps he has only befriended the vampires so he can take them down from the inside???
