Beauty & the Beast 2012 Blasts Back with S2
Season 2 BatB is off to a Stellar Start ~ Totally Beasterrific!!!
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.

Blown away with S0201
Not Sure How This is Going to Play with Non-Invested Viewers
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
Amazing Start!
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!

Loved! Can't wait for more!
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.

Way to kick off a season!!
They really brought this series back with a punch! Loved Beast 2.0. He's a little more assertive, dangerous, mysterious...(all of which is very sexy) and way more unpredictable. Which will prove to be interesting as the season goes on. J.T., as always delivers some much needed, well timed humor. You can always count on him. :) This show was my most anticipated premiere, and I honestly was not disappointed! The last scene with Vincent and Catherine was very touching. Finally she could do what she has needed to do for a long time. Can't wait to see where the writers will take this! The story line, writing, acting, editing, shooting etc were all excellent. I don't want to give anything away, but I will say I really like one of the beasts new abilities. Particularly how it relates to Cat. If you have never watched, do it! It's a great show. Very Well Done!!

Amazing start to Season 2
Enjoyed the first episode, very action packed and the beast is ramped up! Beast 2.0! Jay Ryan is very menacing as the beast and convincing us he is not a nice guy this time around. Austin Basis is a strong actor who balances the dark tones with witty comments and humor. Kristin Kreuk will be kicking butt and taking names all season and we can't wait! Liking Sendhil Ramamurthy back and non beastly. He even looks younger! Only thing I didn't like was not enough Nina Lisandrello! She is a good friend to Catherine but understandably a little tired of her obsession with finding Vincent. I think the writers and new show runner Brad Kerns have a more focused approach this year and will be able to offer more depth to the characters and give the audience more understanding of what motivates them to make the choices they have. Can't wait to see more!

Fantastic Start
It was a much anticipated return and the first episode delivered beyond expectations. So enjoyed the show! I am very curious as to where the season will take us. Hard to see our favorite couple not together but know that they will eventually find their way back. Great to see Kristin Kreuk back in action, that woman is amazing with her stunt work. The pacing was fast and kept you on the edge of your seat for the whole episode. It truly felt like we only got to watch ten minutes not a full episode! It is going to be another amazing roller coaster ride for the beasties for sure! Just hope we can all hang on and handle the ups, downs and loop de loops this show has been known to throw at us!
