5. That right there was so smart. The biggest geek is the most animalistic
of them all. How he's been squaring the whole thing for his own sanity over his past two years as a ww is really a good story all on its own.

Hey, don't you think he's gonna get a crush on the ghost chick but the vampire is gonna get in the way of his lusting for her? I feel sad about it all ready.

If you were going to give them another roommate who would you like to see a human or supernatural?

8. I'm not sure where he's gonna go
with his love life.

I love ghost girl. :D

I wonder if she's gonna find out her boyfriend pushed her down the stairs. They seem to be setting up for that, since she's still all gooey gooey about him. Then the two roomates will have to set about to bring the bf to justice.

3. We really enjoy it.
It has a very interesting plot. I am interested in which direction it will go. Of course, I am waiting for Torchwood's return.

4. OK so Vampire guy. HOW HOT IS HIS ASS? Seriously. Dee-lish
I think the ghost is so awesome though too. The whole show is mind blowing for me because of course in the US our people can't deliver such fresh stuff. They can't write, or cast like the UK can for some stupid ass reason. They would have probably tried to make Paris Hilton the ghost or some shit.

7. Oh, I think there's plenty of creativity
in the writing sector, but trying to sell it to a US outlet would be daunting.

Anything that's not plain vanilla storytelling gets relegated to HBO/Skinimax/Showtime

There's probably a lot of great stuff sitting on people's computers that they won't ever get a chance to produce here because the broadcasters don't want anything too edgy or difficult or odd.

12. If you're looking for hot (hothothot) vampires, and fresh stories,
you should be watching True Blood on HBO. Love love love me some true blood. And coincidentally, Stephen moyer, who plays the one of the leads in the show is from Britain. Also, Anna Paquin - need I say more? Season 1 is on DVD if you don't get HBO. You should check it out.

13. He has a hot ass and loved the accidental couch gag.
The UK has some great programs. Have you seen "Beautiful People?" That show is a hoot!

9. I have a tough time considering a vampire, werewolf and ghost
story as fresh and innovative. Now, what would be innovative would be a different kind of supernatural creature or two or three. But these supernatural beings have been done to death.
