Another great episode this week.  I loved how each of the three main characters had stuff to do in this one and it was balanced between them.  They all certainly have their issues.  I don't like this new werewolf guy "helping Josh."  He obviously has an agenda.  Again, every episode makes me like this show and these characters more and more.  I'm very impressed by the cast.  This series is quickly moving to the top group of my must see list.  :)

They're just driving viewers to bittorrent and hurting themselves by doing that.

True 'dat!

Except I can't be arsed to torrent this show ;).  But yes, you are correct.  Dumb, dumb move.

Language Timothy!!

(No, I don't expect you to get that reference to an obscure British sitcom but it seemed appropriate.)

I think I saw the first episode of the UK version but nothing more. I think I'll try and watch that before this (if it makes its way over here)

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

I enjoyed this weeks show but the wife got grossed out by [spoiler]the Aidan scenes in that hotel. Especially when they were in the bathroom.

Good episode this week.  But,....

[spoiler]The idea that Sally died due to her husband I had thought since the start.  Of course it was an accident, but still the guy better watch his back.  Also, Josh being bitten by his new were-buddy and cursed was kind of obvious too.  Thought the idea of a priest being a vampire was interesting.[/spoiler]

Anyway, still liking the show a lot.  Loved the dinner scene at the end of the episode.

Thanks for the help, Rico. I haven't watched this weeks show yet. [spoiler]Thanks, again.[/spoiler]

Hmmm...

[spoiler] I don't think it was an accident. That was pretty much murder. Manhandling someone and pushing them while they are next to stairs isn't the brightest course of action. Maybe he didn't intend on killing her, but he was intent on hurting her.[/spoiler]

Rico

Well,....

[spoiler]Sally seems to have sort of considered that it was an accident.  He didn't intend to kill her - hurt her maybe.  I guess it depends on how you define it.  I personally would say that it wasn't an accident that he pushed her, but it was an accident that she fell that hard and died.  Doesn't really matter, unless our friendly vampire or werewolf does something about it.

You know one thing confused me in this episode.  At the start when the priest is first turned and they feed on that guy, I thought for sure it was Sally's boyfriend guy getting eaten.  It looked just like him.  Weird.[/spoiler]

It sounds like I need to get caught back up on this show from the comments you guys are making.  I watched the first couple of episodes.  I really like the ghost.  It seems like her character has a lot of room to grow, but the vampire and werewolf story line seems the typical monsters trying not to be bad.

I think that we might be interpreting the scene differently

[spoiler]When she talked to the vamp, she seemed pretty upset and then told how her fiancée blamed her for the fall then walked away. She also said that hell killed her. I think that her calling off the vamp doesn't mean that she thinks it's an accident, but more like she doesn't want the blood on her hands. I think the shaking house also came across to me as how upset she was at him killing her.

If that makes sense. Maybe our takes on it are different because I just finished the episode a few hours ago.

I think that it was handled good in the scene and reminded me of how some battered spouses behave. She said she tried to justify his temper as passion and I think that rings true in a lot of domestic violence cases.

[/spoiler]

Good episode again this week.  Nice to see Josh getting a little closer to the pretty blonde nurse.  I like the way they are handling Sally and her issues with her fiancee.  Again, this show just really works for me.  Definitely has moved to one of my top five TV series on right now.

So far I think the thing I like the best about the US version is the twist with the priest.  The UK version was far different.  I'm also troubled by the vampires being 'seen' by the camera.  The UK version used the same plot device except the vampire wasn't visible in the porn so it had a really different feel to it when the protagonists were gathered around watching it.
