Being Human: A Vampire, a Werewolf & a Ghost share an apartment

No I’m not setting up a joke. It is the premise for Being Human. A new British comedy-drama about about three twenty-something housemates trying to live normal lives, despite struggling with unusual afflictions – one is a werewolf, one is a vampire and the other is a ghost. I saw a preview on my BBC America On-Demand and I see some definite potential here… The Being Human wiki page has the plot for the whole season – but since its about to air on BBC America, I’m not reading it.






The pilot episode was broadcast at 9pm on 18 February 2008 and an online petition lobbying BBC Three commissioning editors to green light a full series was set up by Narin Bahar, a journalist from the Reading Chronicle newspaper, as part of a review of the show. The article and petition drew traffic from across the world and with the latter now having been signed by over 3,000 people

Sorry it is in so many parts. Just glad I could find it.

Wonder Twin action figure powers ACTIVATE!!!

San Diego Comic-Con is just about here, and the folks at MattyCollector wanted to share a little pre-Comic-Con show-stopper with you! Check out the amazing DC Universe Classics Wonder Twins package that features lights and sounds you gotta see to believe!

I’m still trying to see if I can arrange a ride and place to stay for ComicCon – I’m only in San Francisco, it shouldn’t be that hard to get down there. Just hoping I can scrounge up the funds. I MUST HAVE ONE OF THESE!!! Well 2 actually – one to open and one to keep.

They really DO look great. Does anyone know how well the DCUC figures mix in with the DCD line? I have all the DCD Teen Titans as well as a very well stocked DCD JLA and I’d like to mix Zan, Jaynaa nd their space monkey in.

I don’t see Gleek in the packaging tho!!! He does come with this set right?
