'Being Human' video recap: An episode of many hair styles

Syfy's "Being Human" finally gets out of pilot mode with the Jan. 31 episode, "Some Thing to Watch Over Me."

And the thread running through the evening's divergent plots? Weird hair, apparently. Aidan (Sam Witwer) catches a glimpse of his mustachioed past before meeting a bearded cop who's out for revenge. While Sally (Meaghan Rath), finally learning how to leave the house, meets a fellow ghost who suffered the real misfortune of dying with a mullet.

Check out our exclusive recap video from Syfy, which sums everything up quite nicely in 50 seconds and sheds a lot of new light on Sally's afterlife.

Zap2it Elite Sheet Must Reads from the Web's In-Crowd
 

I loved it. I can't imagine this remake ever being as good as the original, but I really am starting to enjoy this. Sam Witwer's Aidan is showing some really awesome tones of Angelus. The vamps on the original series never seemed that threatening. They always acted like a dusty uptight British Men's Club that was really angry. But here...it seems different.

I'm really hoping they allow this series to go long enough to get to some of the truly great parts of Being Human (spoilers below), like the doctor, doors, and radios.

I couldn't even make it through the episode. What horrible writing! I don't care when that goofy 80s ghost died, he's spent the last 24 years watching the rest of us outgrow the 80s and he would not be acting like the worst guy from the 80s if he actually expected to get some ghost booty. The cop with the vampire past was an interesting idea but it was so poorly executed. What person in their right mind would buy that this was the same guy that killed his dad? If they had the cop recognize him and approach him and say something like, "I think I knew your dad. Did you grow up here?" and then slowly come around to the truth, they might've had something. But he looks at the guy and KNOWS he's the guy? Really awful. It would also be nice if they'd decide whether the werewolf is an impatient whiny jerk or an easygoing funny guy because I'm not buying the constant mood swings. Then again, maybe this stuff would come off better if anybody in the cast had chemistry with anybody else in the cast.
