So Outcasts really did start of pretty crappy but its on a slow burn. Sadly I can't see the BBC picking it up for another series and recon its going to be one of those cult one off sci-fi things. Obviously not as good as say Firefly but now several episodes in it has it a few charms. Don't get me wrong. I still think Fleurs pretty annoying and Hermoines character is pretty bland but thank god for Cass and his angst this week as his old life collided with his current one. And thank good for Julius - he's just the correct amount of sinister to make you want to see how its going to pan out next week.
This week saw a rather creepy scene at the beginning where the president bloke was talking to an exact repilicar of himself - presumingly a manifestation of the alien presence that we now know is on the planet.
They are pretty pissed at the humans apparently and created the virus that started killing off the kids. Anyway Hermoines character starts figuring out how to communicate hoping a dialogue will change their minds about trying to exterminate the colony.
Cass finally got Fleur to agree to a date then someone sent him a note saying "they knew who he was, be in touch soon." Naturally he did that bloke thing where they freak, run to the bar, consume a stupid amount of alcohol, end up having a one night stand and then get in serious trouble as sed female turns out to be mentally unhinged and only after a gun. Robs him, they have a scuffle, she ends up bleeding in his place, then disappears.
Cass then got arrested, Fleur finds out his secret, freaks and pissed at him for sleeping with someone else doesn't support the bloke whos had her back for weeks now. Cass broke out of prison when he realised that it was the womens husband who wrote the note and actually was going to try kill her, he races to save her and presumably she clears his name. Fleurs still pissed though. However thats not all of her problems as Julius again contacts the other ship, it sends him a file and apparently Fleur is part of some experiment. Oh and to top it off, still pissed at Cass, stupid fleur then gets drunk and gets it on with Jack. Can anyone say angsy love triangle???????
Being human - Fantastic. I thought aidens portrayal of mitchell was excellent when Annie confronted him about the box 20 incident and he finally admitted everything. And finally Herrick got his memory back and proved just as evil as ever stabbing Nina right at the end. Can't wait to see the conclusion next week. The only downside was Robson Greens werewolf character biting the dust. Shame - McNair was pretty good.
Finally yesterday was pancake day in the UK. Normally I don't really participate in this as I tend to forget but for once I didn't. So I had some lovely pancakes for tea last night :0)
