Okay, so, if Life on Mars wasn't bad enough (and I refer you back to this post for just how bad it was) now Syfy is remaking Being Human.

I have just one word:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ok so, I'm the one who cut out the ending of US LoM and uploaded it to Megavideo, and it still cracks me up how *fast* the link got passed around LJ and blogs. It's like the entire collective internet said "WTF IS THIS!" all at once. Reading shocked disgust after shocked disgust was kind of hilarious. Ah, good times.

That said, US Being Human can't possibly be as bad as US LoM...right?

At least we can make fun of it, if it is?

Hee! Well, thank you for uploading it -- I am very amused by the thought of the link spreading like wildfire around LJ to the sound of thousands of heads simultaneously meeting their desks. *g*

As less-than-impressed as I am at the idea of a Being Human remake, I think you're probably right (is it even possible?) ... and, I suppose, the BH premise is so simple (compared to LoM's very complex package of black humor and social commentary) that it would be much easier to port it to a different culture and cast without things going horribly wrong.
