So who wants tea?: a Being Human Series 1 OT3 picspam
In honor of Series 2 of Being Human starting up in a couple of weeks, I decided to put together a picspammy recap of my favorite S1 scenes with my favorite OT3. Even though it wasn't as often as I would have liked, I LOVED when Annie/Mitchell/George shared screentime as a trio - they just had the best dynamic and chemistry as a set of leads. So let's go back and remember what made us love the three supernatural flatmates together :D
Fair warning: this is in no way dial-up friendly.
Just a quick intro to our being human flatmates: ghost + vampire + werewolf = supernatural ot3
AND HERE WE GO!
Annie is all “OMG HII” to the delivery boy and rambles excitedly at him about mopeds and hating pizza b/c HE CAN SO SEE HER
She's hilariously proud of being called a “slag” and George spazzes out about her t-ocd while mitchell just goes about enjoying his pizza.
then Annie attempts to sympathize with George re: that “time of the month” and fails spectacularly - George, it turns out, is just a tad sensitive re: the potential biting off of ppls’ heads. Meanwhile, Mitchell stands off to the side and just lolz
George wakes up, after his werewolfy night at the flat, to find Mitchell bitching about going to IKEA and Annie all cheery b/c Owen, Annie’s fiancée/their landlord is popping ‘round. He is, understandably, spazzy about this, and would like to know if everyone’s taken “stupid pills”. Apparently, Annie has a pretty swift kick, or Mitchell’s got very sensitive shins…
Annie orders Mitchell to ask Owen the requisite “what's happened since I’ve died” questions, i.e. if he’s screwing Janie Harris and if her sister’s had a baby. George is still completely flummoxed by the whole thing, but then OWENS AT THE DOOR! So Annie goes off to hide, with one last important reminder to Mitchell: “Janie Harris!”
George covers spectacularly for Annie’s absolute fail at hiding. Everyone’s killed a pigeon with a shoe at one point, right? Mitchell, apparently, hasn’t.
While Tully BSs about his awesome life as a werewolf, George is busy being all FML
and Annie/Mitchell are busy being totally supportive in no way whatsoever
While Mitchell clears things from the latest awkward gathering with the neighbors, George asks him if there's something up with the vampires b/c they beat up Tully, and Mitchell's like "duh, vampires are arseholes, this is hardly news". George presses, and Mitchell's all it's TOTALLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT :D CHILAX. Annie and George are not reassured.
Annie and Mitchell are confused by George's Tullyesque use of the third person, but that is temporarily forgotten due to Mitchell's mad moving/shaking skills that got him a background (invisible) role in Casablanca. Annie is suitably impressed.
Then George tries to play grown-up werewolf and Annie and Mitchell are all WTH?? and then they LULZ at him because that’s what best friends do.
George comes home to his flatmates ready to kick out his new mentor. Before Mitchell can go over the more concrete evidence, Annie supplies that Tully is "creepy" and that he frightened her. Mitchell tries to supplement that with his list of grievences re: Tully's poor houseguest etiquette, but George is NOT having it. Then Mitchell is all: "He's a twat!" and George is all: Yeah well he's MY twat!" and Mitchell is all: ".....", but George's point being, Tully is his friend, which leaves Mitchell and Annie wondering what the hell THEY are.
There’s a bit more back and forth, while Annie looks like the fighting is causing her physical agony, and then Mitchell LAYS. IT. DOWN: "For christ's sake, he pretty much ASSAULTED Annie!". And George, like his mentor, is a complete twat in response. Mitchell and Annie look at George like they don't even recognize him anymore, and George goes off with a smirky-sleazy Tully. Ohhh OT3 :`(
I loved that scene SO HARD you guys. Yes, it's the flatmates at odds, but it's so intense and grounded in believable internal tension, and the way the scene itself is set up and shot makes it seem a bit like theater, which makes you feel like you're that much closer to it and in it than normal and yeah that totally made no sense at all lol. ignore me.
George comes home with his tail between his legs, and is scandalized to learn that Mitchell and Annie make-out when he’s not around, and that kissing Mitchell is like kissing an ironing board *HEE SO CUTE* and then Annie is scandalized by omg vampire snuff porn
Ghost PMT is most definitely scarier than regular PMT b/c Mitchell is totally afraid of being in the same room with a (ghost-of)menstruating Annie. George, on the other hand, values his steak more than his life, (and is not keen on Mitchell's "make off with and eat the steaks rare" idea) so risks entering the kichen.
After George is almost taken out with a parsley grater, Mitchell attempts (horribly) to cheer Annie up, then decides they all should go out. “George, fetch your lead.”
The boys spy on Annie and Gilbert, the emo 80s ghost, and then OH NO HERE SHE COMES LOOK NATURAL! *SIGH* OH BOYZ
“OH HEY ANNIE DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE HOME :D”. Annie has figured out how to finish her unfinished business. The boys are, of course, skeptical. George thinks it’s a good thing. Mitchell makes a face (which is “just my face”) b/c no, Mitchell does NOT THINK IT IS A GOOD THING [b/c my shipper sensor sez so]
George presents Potential Date Outfit #1. Mitchell and Annie inform him he will be mistaken for bar staff. Then a mug goes flying by Mitchell, and Annie looks at him like he’s crazy, b/c duh, mugs can’t move by themselves!
Annie and Mitchell are frightened by George’s Potential Date Outfit #2, which is a frighteningly loud orange be-flowered shirt. then annie blows up a canister of coffee and Mitchell deduces that she is a poltergeist.
They reject Potential Date Outfit #3, then LOL some more at George and his poetically making love with Nina b/c srsly LOL and then they’re all “UHHH….” when George spazzes about turning into a werewolf the next time he’s being poetic with Nina b/c zomg what if he kills her??
Annie crashes the boys’ “dinner party”, and to seem less strange for staring at “nothing”, George and Mitchell decide that stretching as a pre-meal warm up is something not strange people do. Annie questions the validity of what they’re eating as “food”, and Mitchell geeks out over Laurel and Hardy.
Shit goes crashing into walls, lights start sparking and the radio starts blasting obnoxious songs from the 90s b/c Annie is TOTALLY NOT HAVING THE PSYCHO WHO KILLED HER in her house. Mitchell tries to calm her down. George adds to the chaos by spazzing.
George and Annie arrive at “Vampire Headquarters” and chat with Seth, then Annie fails at being a badass by 1) throwing a telephone w/ a too short chord (that is NOT effective) and 2) apologizing to the guy she just smashed a chair against. Then George hurts his hand when knocking Seth out with his “girly arm” so = world’s gayest ninjas. [Yes, technically it’s an Annie/George scene, but they’re going to save the third member of the OT3 AND IT IS FABULOUS SO IT COUNTS.]
Meanwhile, Mitchell's chatting w/ Herrick about how a chair leg will factor into his impending death, but then: WHO WANTS SOME OF MY CHAIR??? Annie's got nothing. Mitchell states the obvious, which is to RUN, then George screams like a girl and tosses his badass chair away.
They run around Vampire Headquarters, but get surrounded in a room with a .... cadaver table?... Duh, Elise - "vampire headquarters". George pulls out his trusty Star of David, but I'm not sure how well that will hold up against a swarm of vampires.
They get away (obviously), and thanks to Annie finding her inner Ghost-Bitch, the trio continue their streak of awesome by making Owen cry.
George is totes impressed with Annie’s new found badassness, and Mitchell is going off to, where exactly? But a pretty shiny door with a post slot stops him in his tracks, and they all realize that Annie’s death door has arrived. George doesn’t want Annie to go through the death door, but Mitchell makes him see that going through her death door is an end to the limbo she’s in.
Because George and Annie are six (and spiritual siblings), they bicker right up ‘til the end - even with Annie about to cross over into a completely different dimension, never to be seen or heard from again.
And then there’s this. And there’s head clutching and forehead touching and ELISE THIS ISN’T A SHIPPER POST
Annie is all “FUCKING HELL!” at having to leave, and George thinks those might not be the best last words. So Annie summons up her courage and is totally ready to face death and then THERE’S SOMETHING KNOCKING AT THE DOOR! George, of course, spazzes, because WHO WOULDN'T WHEN THERE'S KNOCKING COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF A GHOST DOOR?? They all giggle at their OMG-ery and Mitchell goes to answer the real door, and....
AND OMG HERRICK JUST STABBED MITCHELL! O_O AND THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE. George calls 911 (for a vampire? really?) and is Annie really gonna leave while Mitchell bleeds all over her nice clean floor???!!
They flash to the hospital and ANNIE’S THERE B/C SHE TURNED DOWN DEATH (!!!) and the doctors and nurses are srsly like WTH?? WHY ISN’T THIS MACHINE WORKING?? *SMACK* because Mitchell is a vampire and so defies medical odds like the SUPER SUPERNATURAL THAT HE IS. Then Annie emos at Mitchell’s bedside w/ George before *poofing* back to the pink house.
Mitchell tells Annie that if Herrick manages to kill him and George and is able to destroy the house, she'll go up like a puff of smoke. Annie is a borderline blind optimist and is positive that if they stick together, they'll be able to stop him. She thinks this is the best plan ever, and the boys are all like “yeaaahhh….”
Flatmate strategy meeting! Annie paces as she talks out a game plan while George and Mitchell watch forlornly from the table. George reminds them he’s the only one who’s still technically alive, and that he plans on leaving so that he doesn’t, y’know, die. Mitchell is totally understanding. Annie is PISSED. OFF.
George peaces, and Annie FREAKS. THE FUCK. OUT, and then Mitchell tries to convince her that he’s not worth it….
…..and these two just killed the scene like WOAH
Annie is still sad and angry at George for bailing and guilt trips him hard. The boys hug and say goodbye to their supernatural bromance.
George laments about how his life will always be “and then what?...”, but Mitchell swoops in and reassures him, that there was “this”: You thought there’d be nothing, but there was this. There was the house, you and me… there was Annie.” It may not have been human, but it was real. *SOB*
NO ONE CHUCKS NINA BY POST! >[ HA! Annie’s all HAI NINA! And Nina’s like WHO ARE U?
[I figured this scene was alright, cuz they’re off to rescue OT3 member #3, and after all, Nina IS an official member of the cast now]
George is TOTES ready to rip Herrick’s head off. Then Annie and Mitchell come barreling in and Annie *poofs* into the cell, opening the door for Mitchell against George’s protests. Doesn’t he know yet that the OT3 are stronger together???
Mitchell tries to talk George out of his murder mission, but George declares that he’s paying him back for saving his life when they first met, and Mitchell gives in, leaving George to it. Annie thanks George for the sacrifice he’s making, and they lock themselves back out.
But then UH OH HI NINA!
Hearing/seeing what’s happening to George, she goes storming into the cell. MidWerewolf!George spazzes and throws Nina away from him, and continues to change before a horrified Annie/Mitchell/Nina, and a gloating Herrick.
Mitchell and Annie try to contain Werewolf!George and unsuccessfully plead for Nina to leave. They are kinda at a loss for words, b/c srsly, how do you explain that your flatmate and her boyfriend is a werewolf who’s about to kill the shit out of a vampire who was set on ruling the world? Unafraid, she nears the door and catches Werewolf!George’s eye through the peephole (in a basement?), and Werewolf!George recognizes his beloved Nina and finally chills the fuck out.
Back at the pink house, Annie and Mitchell contemplate Annie’s new super powers and the possibility of action figures, while Nina contemplates the very werewolfy type gash on her arm. George joins the other members of the OT3 to discuss their having defeated the bad guys so they’re probably safe (right?) b/c WHAT ELSE COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN NOW???
….aside from this creepy Series 2 lead-in??
