Who Am I?

This might well be the BEST episode of BatB I've seen so far ~ excellent new direction ~ tantalizing mythology ~ killer pace ~ gripping action sequences and the Beast FX ~ scary good! The cherry on top? Vincent and Catherine's achingly angsty encounters as they attempt to reconnect with each other after their heartbreaking separation last season. As always I am floored by Vincent and Cat's intense chemistry which leaves me breathless and wanting more of them each time. Never have I enjoyed a season premiere so much which is evidenced by a personal record of some 100+ tweets from me today when this episode aired. Who Am I appears to have found its identity in the seasoned hands of new show runner Brad Kern who also wrote this wonderful season opener. BatB is packing so much heart and heat that I'm chomping at the bit for next week's episode and wanting many more seasons of this unique love story to enjoy. 13 of 14 people found this review helpful.

Great new look and feel, changing the production team has brought a bit of professionalism to the production values - could do better still - a few stupid moments and Catherine still not being portrayed as the character needs to be - Kristin Kreuk does have a couple of really good scenes - and her fighting skills are better than last season. Jay Ryan is great and his new super-soldier thing is so different from previous Vincent - and that could be a problem for returning viewers and even new viewers - some of the people watching this episode with me didn't relate to this at all - they were all confused in that they thought this was a LOVE STORY between Vincent and Catherine. Hope the showrunner is not so entranced by his own brilliance that he forgets the real heart of this story - stop keeping Vincent and Catherine apart NOW - remember, together they can overcome anything. Bit worrying when the scene that got the most attention was when Tess is talking to Gabe telling him she is fed up with the Muirfield/finding Vincent angstfest - viewers of the first episode of a long arc shouldn't be picking up on stuff like that - bit worrying for building the numbers needed to keep this show healthy

Loving the look and feel of season 2!! The first episode of season 2 was epic! The Chemistry between Jay Ryan and Kristen Kreuk (Vincent & Catherine) was AMAZING as it was last season!!! Austin Basis is hilarious and always delivers! Love the character of JT and hope to see much more of him this season. The new beast makeup is so much better then last season and the overall appearance of the show is wonderful. I love that they are shooting in NYC for some of the exterior shots. Looking forward to seeing how Catherine finds out about her dad and what he has done to Vincent.This show is a must see if your looking for great romance and action. Check out the first season on Netflix and tune in on Mondays on the CW.

Season 2 is finally here! All the previews and clips beasties found paled in comparison to actually seeing every action sequence play out on our TVs. The revamped series showed its changes right away with different sets, more action, and a newly charged beast thrown in the mix. Although the police procedural element is no longer in play, it will be interesting to see how the supernatural elements compensate for the procedural loss. Above all, the romance element was still very present in this first episode between Catherine and Vincent, not only in their shared kiss, but also in the amount of chemistry they exuded in every scene together. Kudos to the writers, producers and cast of BATB! So looking forward to the rest of this season!
