being human random take

I'm not the only one to think this, I'm sure, but the reason why Hal, Tom and Alex feel so different to Annie, Mitchell and George, to me, is primarily because for them, it isn't about being human.

Tom tries to improve himself, whether it's vocabulary or his know-how, sure. Hal tries to act more civilised and in-control, sure. Alex tries to... well, nothing, besides trying to resolve her own death and open the door. Sure, they have the job at the hotel. But this trio doesn't fight tooth and nail to have all that. We don't see them have go through the awkward parts of life. It's all quite simple and isolated. For example: they get the jobs no problem, or they don't date different people.

They're not agonising over the unreachable concept of being human, not like the original trio were. It consumed them. For Hal, Tom and Alex, being supernatural is the focus, in my opinion.

They don't fight outside forces tearing them apart, they fight amongst each other.

I don't know how else to put it into words. They obviously still try to be human, but there isn't so much desperation or effort. And I feel like they somehow didn't take advantage of the fact that these three aren't fixated on being human. They wanna change, they wanna fix themselves, but it's not to the same point as the original trio. They could've had more conversations (and better plots) surrounding the idea that they don't mind being supernatural, for the most part.

Tom IS the wolf and it works well for him. He's a warrior.

Hal is crippled by his hunger, but it doesn't drive him to murder every single time. He's capable of holding back and just feeding on someone.

And I think, if the show had gone on further and things had developed, Alex would have adapted to being dead if it meant she could still have a semblance of something with Hal.

Call me nasty or misunderstanding of her character, but her relationship with Hal was always the most fun, interesting part of her character. Like how Alex going on the date with Cram, for example, wasn't exactly to feel human. Not really. It was a lust-filled get-back at Hal. They were flirting through conflict.

Yeah, the trinity (H/T/A) are more adjusted with their supernatural selves than the trio (M/G/A), so while George rejected his wolf throughout his whole arc, Tom was always in tune with that part of himself, living with it his whole life and being raised by someone who was like him. Mitchell being a younger vamp compared to Hal’s Old One self, and Alex had help and support from the first moments of becoming a ghost. Annie was all alone and fading/becoming a poltergeist before she met the boys.

That’s why the reboot works – they changed the cast but it doesn’t feel repetitive and trite because the new characters are not the same and struggle with the same issues differently.
