It's almost impossible to fathom a six-episode run being a full season of a series, but in the case of Being Human, it is. Granted, it's a show that came from the UK, where shorter seasons are the norm. And yet, in only six episodes we got so much character and world development, it's amazing the installments didn't feel rushed.

In those episodes, we learned a little bit about the world of ghosts, explored werewolves and uncovered a lot about the secret society of vampires plotting a mass conversion of humanity into their undead world. We also had time to become intimately familiar with our three main characters.

Saturday night saw the season finale of Being Human on BBC America. In it, we got the resolution to Mitchell's staking, Annie's decision about the door to the afterlife, and George's latest transformation, which saw him do something he'd so far managed to avoid.

George had somehow managed to never kill anyone while in his werewolf state, or at least we're to believe that. He sacrificed that streak to kill Mitchell's foe Herrick, a powerful vampire who leads the movement in Bristol, where the series is set. However, in doing so, he inadvertently scratches his girlfriend, Nina. But she'll have to wait a month to see if she's developed the curse.

The worst part is that Herrick seemed all too willing to die. Apparently his death will set him up as a martyr in a way that's good for the movement. How it's good and who will step up to take over the Bristol "chapter" is unknown. Maybe Mitchell can try and change things from the inside.

Annie's resolution with Owen, her ex-fiance and their landlord, occurred last week. I still want to know what she said to him that pushed him so far over the edge. Owen was about as cocky and horrible as a person can be, even more so after she revealed herself to him post-death. He felt he had all the power and showed no remorse for anything.

Clearly killing Annie pushed him over the edge and beyond redemption. But now he's a gibbering idiot, terrified of everything around him. It has to be more than just revealing the presence of vampires and werewolves, right? Maybe? I guess if someone were to tell me they were out there right now and I couldn't tell the difference between us and them, and I believed it, it would freak me out a bit. I am glad that it looks like Owen's story isn't done, because I think I want him to suffer more.

The episode ended with Owen revealing what he'd been told to a mysterious man at the institution. That man in turn called the Professor and indicated that they'd been found, but who is they? George and Mitchell? Annie as well? Who knows about them all, what do they know and why are they significant enough that it matters.

Hopefully, the show will get more episodes next season to continue expanding on this world. Since they killed Primeval, I need to get my fix of British sci-fi/fantasy somewhere while I wait for the new Who-niverse seasons.
