Yeah, I like Daisy better too, if only because I have somewhat of a weakness for characters who are somewhat, how shall we say, around the bend. The likeness is annoying, though, because with a few exceptions she's basically Lauren 2.0: sexual, violent, simpering, evil, but not completely evil or, you know, even competently evil - she was brought to ruin by a man of bad character, and yet has a spark of humanity in her yet, brought out by the man she is trying to sabotage with her evil sexy ways*! *sigh* For what it's worth, I think both actresses did pretty well considering the way the characters were written, and though I never quite bought Lauren's femme fatale routine, I think the Daisy-actress is pretty convincingly sexy (in a really batshit crazy way). So, that's something.

Aw, goldfish! THIS MAKES ME HAPPY. And, er, did you watch the "previews" bit after the credits? Because there's more about the doctor there, but I haven't figured out the coding to black-out text, and I don't want to spoiler. As for the bartender - I think he just thought, oh no, there goes bad news, though I'm not exactly clear why. (You have to admit, it's probably not a good idea for a young, attractive, somewhat oblivious bartender to invite a male customer she doesn't know from Adam to use the phone in her house. Even if everyone's intentions were innocent, there could still be some major misunderstandings.)

It was a really quick, almost throwaway comment - after the werewolf died bloodily, one of the researcher guys says something to the effect of, "Now we're all out of Type 3s". Of course, nobody has any idea if that's referring to werewolves or blood types or toilet paper or what. (As for the muscles - really, too much? I liked them. I mean, I don't know where all this extra body mass is coming from or going to - and I suspect I don't want to know the answer - but it stands to reason that these hugely terrible creatures, who are literally strong enough to tear a man apart, would have a fair amount of muscle.)

Ha, yes. Mitchell and George are going to have to settle for not getting their way very much anymore, now that the girls have a Coalition.

There was a speech? I must rewatch, because I completely missed that bit. And as far as George being an, er, arsehole**, I would have been really surprised had it not been for the Tully Incident. Because it's obvious that, while most of the time he's a pretty decent guy (if a little bit high-strung), George definitely has these nastier sides of his personality, especially when he's feeling self-confident (especially sexually confident), probably stemming from some deep insecurities that I suspect were there even before the wolf. I mean, he's basically the British version of Rodney McKay. Neurotic, intelligent, not particularly brave, bad with social interaction, and a dick when it comes to sex - were it not for some very strong redeeming qualities he displays throughout the show (especially the finale! Gah! Best George episode ever!), he would be a very difficult character to like, and if he was a real person I'd probably sock him in the face within five minutes of meeting him.

*At least they didn't completely go the Madonna and the whore route, which I was worried about for a while with the Lauren/Annie contrast. (Evil=yes, sex! vs. good=love not sex.) But then there was Nina, who while "good" is just as into sex as George and even instigated it, and forged a relationship out of it - a combination that's pretty rare on television, sadly. And this is only one of the many, many reasons why I love Nina, but I won't go into the ways here, because that would be a VERY long post.

**You don't happen to be British, do you?
