Here are my answers:

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?

Bridesmaid Up. It's got the comedy. Vincats first dance, not worrying about the DNA, Muirfield stuff for a little while..

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?

Hoping- that Tess and Cat are in better terms..
That Vincent gets over his fear of hurting Cat and they have their heart to heart, chemistry explosion scene! lol

How did you hear about BatB?

On the youtube cw site- it was a commercial. Was watching a clip of the tvd actually and I recognized Kristin Kreuk, a handsome guy who looked familiar but couldn't put my finger on...and I knew I didn't have to watch a promo, I was going to like it. Period.

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?

Everything...Kristin...The fact that she was working with another eye candy guy lol. Damn she can't complain, can she?! But it did intrigue me how could this guy be a beast...he doesn't look at all like a beast lol so I wanted to know more..

And then seeing the 1st promo, got me more interested...The whole experiment, Muirfield thing with a real life event with the towers...I thought that was an interesting twist to the original.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?

I'd like to meet them all! Awww...only one....I'd say Jay but I'd like to see Kristin, Austin, Max, etc just as much Why? Well, just look at him well other than that, I'm just curious how he pulls off all the accents and he seems funny, easy to get along with, from interviews anyway.

As for my reaction...Man, there are no words...Literally no words LOL I'd be speechless well not really, I'd want to speak but I'd be blushful and star struck...I wish I could act all chilled, like it's not a big deal, like I'm chatting to a mate of mine but can't see that happening

What do you look forward to with this show?

Everything! Well what I'm definately looking forward to is seeing how Vincents DNA progresses, if he will get any special abilities, if at the end there will be a cure, or if he will control himself even more. I'm looking forward to also of course seeing vincats relationship blossom! And more JT liners...hoping more comedy too

If you could rate this show from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate it?

10 + million, trillion, zillion, infinity lol! Yes, I may vent an opinion about the show sometimes, but there's because I'm so invested in it...it's like it grabs my interest, but why is it happening thing? A push and pull, I guess lol but mostly I'm happy with what happens in batb..

If you have seen the original Beauty and the Beast series, what do you like/LOVE about the 2012 series that's different? What do you not like?

I've seen clips of the old batb, here and there...not really enough to grab the storyline or characters BUT what I like about the 2012 series...well I love the cast (80s was great too, but the 2012 one I'm more familiar with.). Crew seem to be great too, participating in twitter and seems to be great team work on the whole..

Like that there's ''JT'' the sidekick! From what I heard, there was none in the 80s version...Also like that Vincents not a beast all the time so it feels like there is more freedom with Vincents character to go out of the tunnels (like 80s version.) lol.

What I didn't like about the 80s version...no cat at the end I don't know how or why the actress left but it didn't really leave much for the show to continue..

Out of curiosity, what age group do you fall with?

I'm 27

[oa]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?
Bridesmaids Up! First because it was the first BATB episode that I watched live, second because I love the kinda flirty scenes that we have with Vincat! I also love the way he acted in the accident... i don't know I am kinda a girl that loves happily ever after, after some kinda tragedy! Besides there was no alex before this so......

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?
More tender moments of Vincat, more love whispers and flirty moments. Don't really care much about them going all the way just to see them in love and showing it. Hope to see JT and his awesome knowledge and one liners!

How did you hear about BatB?
I had heard about it when CW ordered it to make a pilot. Then I completely forgot about it and didn't hear about it and one day I was bored out of my mind and starting randomly surfing the web and out of nowhere I remembered the show and wanted to check when it premiered and found out that it was already in episode 8! So I kinda watched the first 8 episodes and got hocked! So I was excited that my first live viewing of batb was bridesmaids up! Then I was mortified cause i had the hiatus and was already obsessed with the show!

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?
Vincat! The Epic Love part of the series.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?
I think Jay cause he is cute and really funny apparently! Just like randomly walking around and bump into him, epic! I think I would be calm and just tell him that i have seen some of his work and love his acting oh and ask for a pic with him!

What do you look forward to with this show?
Fewer "alex-like" arcs and more epic vincat, since it is supposed to be the main point if the show

If you could rate this show from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate it?

If you have seen the original Beauty and the Beast series, what do you like/LOVE about the 2012 series that's different? What do you not like?
Love that it is a fresh twist on beauty and the beast and vincent isn't a cat! Don't like the whole girls thing for Vincent. I liked that the original kinda actually, even though I know is farther away from the real world, kept them only loving each other and didn't go adding Vincent's ex fianceé in the mix.

Out of curiosity, what age group do you fall with?
Im 20

[liesl]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?
This is a hard one and I'm inclined to say "Tough Love" BUT I'm going with "On Thin Ice" It was the episode where Catherine confronted her feelings for Vincent head on, when she realised she could lose him. That scene where she uttered those beautiful words "I love him" was as epic as Vincent saying "I am so inlove with you" in "Tough Love"

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?
I'm hoping to see Vincat grow even closer, not necessarily physically..whom am I kidding physically would be awesome..seriously, I would like to see their bond grow stronger as a couple. I would also like to see how the whole ADA role unfolds and the drama that takes place because of the manhunt.

How did you hear about BatB?
My sister started watching the show and talked about it. After much nagging on her part, I eventually watched all 8 episodes the week that Bridesmaid Up aired... and my BatB obsession began.

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?
The epic love between Vincent and Catherine really got me. I didn't really know either of them when I started watching, but the chemistry between those two..WOW! Let's not forget the hilarious one liners from JT.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?
I would love to meet Austin, to be able to have a face to face conversation with him. He is so wonderful to the fans on twitter, they way he interacts with us. Like someone on twitter says the acronym for Batb could also mean Beasties Are Team Basis.

What do you look forward to with this show?
I look forward to the ROMANCE, DRAMA and EPIC LOVE!

[DeadLikeWindsorJulz]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?

This will be strange to most, but it is Basic Instinct. The whole deciding about how dangerous V is. Also, seeing JT attack a bad guy with a bat was awesome!

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?

I honestly have no idea! But what I hope DOESN'T happen - I am hoping Evan doesn't help Muirfield permanently from now on. That he decides to be on Cat and V's side, to help them.

How did you hear about BatB?

By accident. Found the show on Jan 24th showing Seeing Red while channel surfing. Didn't hate that episode until I went back and watched the first 9 eps on Amazon. Then I was like "What the . . .?"

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?

Love the back story of both main characters. All the ways they have to help each other.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?

If I could meet anyone, it would be Austin B! I want to know if he is as funny in real life as he is on the show. If his personality is actually somewhat like his character, I would like to meet him by watching the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Yes, that is my sense of humor. Wonder if he thinks it is funny?!? (Geez, did I just let everyone know how old I am from that one or what?!?!?)

What do you look forward to with this show?

More of Cat kicking the bad guys' a$$! I actually really like fight scenes with her in them. Wish I knew how to fight like that in self defense.
Also, of course, watching how they take on the world together closer to the end of this season.

If you could rate this show from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate it?

[dickens]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?
Bridesmaid Up. It had a great mix or romance, comedy, action and suspense. Very tight script, beautifully executed. Every moment mattered.

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?
Enough romance and action to get more viewers hooked on the show!!

How did you hear about BatB?
Stumbled on a commercial on the CW site

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?
I liked the concept. I tend to like Scifi shows.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?
I would prefer to meet the crew. Catherine Ashton would be my first choice. I have always love costumes and find production and artistic choices people make to set the stage and mood interesting.

What do you look forward to with this show?
The development of the relationships, reveal of the back story between Vincent and JT, interesting cases to be solved and evolution of characters.

If you could rate this show from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate it?
Simply because it is my favorite hour of the week, I have to give it a 10.

If you have seen the original Beauty and the Beast series, what do you like/LOVE about the 2012 series that's different? What do you not like?
I am a fan of the original.

1) I love how they have turned the mythology on its head and made an attractive man more of a beast than the original Vincent who literally looked like a beast. Critics have really hammered this and seem to miss the point that judging a book by its cover works both ways. If all unattractive people are not beasts then it stands to reason all attractive people are not heroes. JR's Vincent is much more a beast than RPs Vincent was in my opinion.

2) I like the fact that with Vincent less of a physical beast the relationship can proceed without getting seriously kinky. As much as I loved the relationship between the originals I would not have wanted to see them "together".

3) I miss the poetry readings but I do not think it fits within the character of this version of Vincent so I am fine with it.

Out of curiosity, what age group do you fall with? THE DEMO they want.

[eve]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?
Its a tough one...hmmm...but i will go with worth, this episode marks the first step in VinCat relationship. Vincent admits his feelings for Cat. Cat stops flirting with Evan after Vincent tell her his feelings, actually She turns Evan down at the end of episode.

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?
VinCat relations ship grows stronger. And look forward to know more about the new ADA and this "other girl". And hope to see more JT lines.

How did you hear about BatB?
By accident, I was searching for a new series to follow, since what I had seen until then was just boring. I saw the banner and I decided to look into it, the show was on its 4 episode. I watched all 4 episodes during a weekend and got hooked.

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?
The connection and chemistry between Vincent and Catherine. Seriously my screen melted when they were on. Don't remember when I saw that kind of chemistry on TV before.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?
To be honest i would rater meet the writers, I would ask them how they create characters and ask them about the process of creating a new show. But I would like the opportunity to thank the cast for giving life to our beloved characters and giving us a great show.


What do you look forward to with this show?
I look forward to see the existentialist conflict (Vincent fear of loosing his humanity) the DNA mutation will create for Vincent and how it will affect him and his relationship with Cat. Vincat love story unfold with all these obstacles. See more action with Muirfield and the new ADA role in all this and hope to see more JT funny lines.

On thin ice (I did not mind Alex, I actually liked the idea of knowing more of V. past. But its the way they told the story that bothered me. I just think they could do that without making V. an idiot...I mean if we saw more on how he had an inner battle with himself, how hard he had it with him chosen to do the right thing - then I think we wouldn't have reacted the way we did:) we would actually have seen it from his POV. But then again BATB is written from cats POV which is why we don't go so hard on her even though she screws up ;D

If you have seen the original Beauty and the Beast series, what do you like/LOVE about the 2012 series that's different? What do you not like?
I did see the original and I liked it. But I like this one as well and I like the new twist to it, with the inner beats that needs to be control. I really don't understand the critics about Vincents being hot and handsome. I mean so - Catherine is beautiful and sexy as well. I would probably take the critics more serious if they had mentioned the possibility of the beast being female (with fur and everything). until then I'm fine with a hot Vincent:)

Out of curiosity, what age group do you fall with? 37

[Darcy]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?
Really hard to say, but I'm going with Tough Love. The romantic banter and tension between Catherine and Vincent was magnetic.

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?
Definitely want to see where Vincent and Catherine's physical relationship will go. Also love the idea of plot twists and new directions. I trust the writers, so I know we'll be satisfied in the long run!

How did you hear about BatB?
Saw a commercial on TV in early October for the upcoming series premiere. Hooked from the start!!

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?
I'm a HUGE fan of the original, so I knew I had to watch. From the first scene of VinCat in the warehouse together, the chemistry was magical, and I knew it was a keeper.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?
Really hard to choose... I'd say Kristen. Love to chat about her life journey up to this point. I'd love to meet Jay, but would probably feel like a love-struck girl and embarrass myself!

What do you look forward to with this show?
Pretty much every moment of every scene! Can't wait to see the story unfold, and how it affects all the characters. And of course, how Vincent and Catherine's love matures, how they move beyond the beginning stages to something deeper.

If you could rate this show from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate it?11

Rank your favorite episodes from greatest to least.
Hard to rank, there are many things to love about EVERY episode! But here goes:
1. Tough Love
2. Trust No One
3. Bridesmaid Up
4. Cold Turkey - LOVED Cat's spunk, and the scene with Alex in Cat's apartment was some of Kristen's best acting ever!
5. On Thin Ice (I love him...)
6. Worth (opening VincCat scene is one of my all-time favs)
7. Saturn's Return
8. Pilot
9. Trapped (loved the cemetery convo - first time Vincent takes the lead and admits his feelings for Cat)
10. Proceed with Caution
11. All in
12. Out of Control (not crazy about the serial killer/subway killing... but Vincent is a hunk in the opening scenes!)
13. Basic Instinct (again, not crazy about all the killing)

If you have seen the original Beauty and the Beast series, what do you like/LOVE about the 2012 series that's different? What do you not like?
I was a rabid fan of the original series. Only show to top it is the new BATB. I loved how the early VinCat's love was deep, genuine; there were (almost) no questions about their passion and loyalty to each other. However, they could never have a public or "real" relationship, since he was half-lion. It was much more tragic. I love the chemistry with our new VinCat - it's absolutely magical. And I enjoy that their characters are more flawed, so we can relate so much more. Gotta say, that both shows are more than mildly unbelievable, though this new one is perhaps more believable. I don't mind - I love the mythical element!!

Out of curiosity, what age group do you fall in?
A tad over 50... probably the oldest one on here!

[ArwenFan]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?

Tough Love. Catherine being ambushed by Vincent's V-Day gift was AWESOME. I wish I knew a man that ridiculously romantic.

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?

Sex.

How did you hear about BatB?

K-Site.

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?

Initially, I wasn't thrilled to hear about the remake, but I'm a KK fan from Smallville, so she got me to tune in. I liked her portrayal of Catherine right off the bat and seriously, the last scene in the pilot with Vincent crouched on a roof gazing wistfully at Catherine sold me.

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?

I've met the original stars when I was at my "celebrity craziness," so I'm pretty sure I could act like a normal person now and appreciate that they are just normal people who have high profile jobs that pay extremely well and keeps them in the public eye. LOL

I'd like to meet KK because I think she's adorable and I would like to compliment her work. I'd like to meet JR just so I can stare at his buffness. If I managed a "hi, how are you?" at that point, I'd be doing good.

What do you look forward to with this show?

First and foremost, the romance. I look forward to seeing V/C become partners in every sense of the word and allowing their love for each other to flow outwards to others needing/help assistance.

If you could rate this show from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate it?

I love that V/C have the relationship they could not have back in the '80s on CBS because of the whole bestiality thing. I do not like that Vincent isn't outwardly beastly enough, but then again...the scar is kind of sexy. And Heather. I CANNOT STAND HEATHER.

Out of curiosity, what age group do you fall with?

This is exactly why I like Worth and it was a tough call to pick Tough Love over this one. They really are tied for first place.

[kellerfangirl]

Which episode, so far, is your favorite BatB episode? Why?
Bridesmaid Up - love the wedding scene and Cat's almost psychic connection with Vincent in sensing him there.....

In the upcoming episode, "Any Means Possible," what are you hoping will happen?
slighly redundant as I've seen the episode now - but it fulfilled all my expectation and more so.....

How did you hear about BatB?

watched a trailer on YouTube....

What was it, about the show, that drew you in?

firstly having a kiwi actor in the lead role - one I had watched previously in an Australian series - Sea Patrol
secondly the whole BatB fairy tale is hugely appealing in any format.....

If you could meet one of the cast members, who would it be? Why? How? What would your reaction be?

tough choice....both of the leads for sure....Jay because he is just so scrumptious and sweet, and Kristin because she is so beautiful and loved her previous work in Smallville...

What do you look forward to with this show?

seeing how Vincent's mutations develop, how they affect his relationship with the people around him, how they cope with being hunted.....all of it......and the smoking hot eye contact, of course

If you could rate this show from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate it?

ten out of ten.....for pacing, tension, pure animal magnetism and great cinematography...the lighting tech deserves a reward...

Rank your favorite episodes from greatest to least.

they all have their best bits and slow bits so I love them all, and seeing them in the context of a story arc makes them all unmissable....

If you have seen the original Beauty and the Beast series, what do you like/LOVE about the 2012 series that's different? What do you not like?

it's a long time since I saw the 80's series.....loved the orginal 'lion man' makeup, but prefer the modern take on that idea....
Can't think of anything I dislike about the modern version, unless it's Cat's sister.....could happily lose her somewhere along the way....

Out of curiosity, what age group do you fall with?

I'm old....oldoldold...an aging romantic..so I've seen fads come and go over the years, and it takes more to engage me and be original...BatB ticks all the boxes and I'm happy to fall in love with it.....
