Being Human Episode 4 recap: Wouldn't it be nice (if we were human)

*Warning* This recap contains a teensy-weensy bit of profanity but nothing worse than you heard in the episode last night.

So last night we met Ray, a trash talking werewolf that helps Josh embrace his inner wolf while teaching him how to be smarter about the change. Techniques like hanging a rump roast in the woods for the wolf to find and remembering to stay hydrated are just a few things that Josh learned. He desperately needed some help and some of this stuff should of been common sense, like bringing a change of clothes. Up to this point it seemed that Josh was so focused on the terror and all the negatives that he forgot to think about what might make being a werewolf tolerable, or dare I say it, fun. Ray injected some comedy into the episode but overall you just have to know that he is too good to be true (his hatred of vampires is not a good thing for the household). Trouble is brewing.

Sally learned that she can interact with the human world but her efforts require really strong emotions, like seeing her fiance kissing on her bestest friend. I'd find a way to toss some breakables too! After a heartfelt discussion with Aidan she decides that her loved ones are entitled to move on and communicates that to her friend. Sally is a much better ghost than I could ever be, as I warned Flyboy last night that 6 months is not enough time and my friends are all off limits, forever, otherwise serious hauntings might occur.

For me, the stars from last night were hands down Aidan and Rebecca. I didn't buy that Rebecca wanted to change her ways (she just isn't the huggly vampire type) but it was sure fun seeing her try. And instead of easing back on fresh blood consumption, Rebecca scoffs at the hospital blood bag method, convincing Aidan that taking from each other is a-okay, and the result is a major backslide for Aidan (but lots of bloody sex for us to watch). In the end Rebecca disappears while Aidan is left with a major case of bloodlust.

Favorite lines:

Aidan to Josh: "Why are you dressed like a douche?"

                                                                                                                                                                

Josh: What's rule number 2?

Ray: Normally we steer clear of vampires but you have already crapped the bed on that one.

                                                                                                                                                                

Here's a sneak peek at the next episode:

Walking Dead reminder

Just a reminder that the Walking Dead episode 4 post went up yesterday!

Change of plans and Walking Dead Episode 4

*First things first: I mixed up my calendar dates (smacks head in disgust) so my review for Dying Light, that according to the computer date book was supposed to be up today, will instead go up tomorrow. I apologize to everyone, especially Scott, for the delay.

*In absence of my review I have decided to go ahead and post the Walking Dead recap a day earlier than normal, but I promise that everything goes back to normal next week, or as close to normal as I ever get. So take a gander at the highlight video for episode 4, courtesy of AMC,  and let the discussion begin!

*contains spoilers*

Okay, so I have a few very important questions: Where did all those damn zombies come from?  Is part of the zombie virus that you will suddenly get mad ninja skills? And how did they manage to get past the elaborate and  highly advanced tin can system?

Don't get me wrong, I am completely hooked on this show. These lingering questions won't, in any way, prevent me from watching each and every week, but I would like to see a small bit of reality creep in. These folks need to get organized!!! 

The list should go like this: 

1. Weapons and tools

2. Tactical gear- military tanks are abandoned all over and they should be raiding that stuff as they find it.

3. Food- they also need some way to sustain a food source, like they have with the quarry.

4. Cars- hotwire some heavy duty trucks or something because the POS method will not work in the long term.

Once they have settled on a place to make camp a slid plan for defense should be worked out, like with barbed wire and 24/7 guard watching the perimeter. 

And yes, I realize that this is just a show and the zombie apocalypse is not right around the corner...but it does get frustrating to watch them make these mistakes over and over.

And now to the most shocking aspect from last nights episode...Amy. Didn't see that one coming! 

It's your turn. What "list" would you make to get the camp running more smoothly? Were you completely surprised by how the episode turned out? And what about the gang from the city? What do you think might happen to them?
