Mitchell goes on the rampage
Tweekums23 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
If you don't like the way the series has got darker then you really won't like this episode, if however you think turning things darker made a good series even better you will love this episode as it is possibly the darkest yet.

In the aftermath of the fire at the funeral home Mitchell is the sole survivor of those present and along with Ivan's widow Daisy is determined to get revenge. At first he is certain that it was the police but after interrogating the coroner he learns that Lucy, the woman he loved, was involved. At this point he falls off the "no killing waggon" in a major way and along with Lucy slaughters a train full of people. Mitchell isn't the only one having problems; George decides to go to Molly's parents evening although he doesn't realise it is taking place the day the clocks change and girlfriend Sam has changed his watch for him. This means the full moon rises in the middle of the meeting and he starts to change so must get well clear of the school before he becomes a danger to everybody there. While nobody there was hurt Molly saw his fangs and is understandable terrified when she next sees him, this leads George to take up Kemp's offer of a possible cure.

I really enjoyed this episode and can't wait to see the series finale; will George be cured? What will Mitchell do when he gets his hands on Lucy and will Annie go through the door?

Fangstastic stuff

Personally, I love the darker stuff and this episode doesn't disappoint! From Mitchell and Daisy's rampage through the train (look out for the iPod on the disembowelled passenger) to George's untimely change (fans of "Mitchell & Webb" will recognise the "Sir Digby-Chicken-Caesar" sequence!) it's great stuff. Aidan Turner gets to spend more time in bed with Amy Manson (sort of a repeat of "Desperate Romantics" - but with blood).

And it's full of delightful details for the careful watcher... The aforementioned iPod. Mitchell using a magazine "perfume patch" to make his armpits less offensive. Lucy has a personalised Garfield mug. (as to why the set dressers bother with this level of detail, I don't know - I just love it that they do, it reminds me of The X-Files!)

All in all - fangtastic!
