Hello Blog!
I'm someone who is loyal to the shows I watch, to the character, to the actors and lately to the director and producer, thanks you whovians who now make me check the episode's name, who wrote it and who directed it.
With Doctor Who, I don't only watch DW, I also watch Torchwood and Sarah Jane.
I'm a CSI fan, and I usually watch CSI Miami, I don't like the NY one. The same with Grey's Anatomy I also watch Private Practice.
I love ER, but I had to stop watching after they killed Dr. Green, I just couldn't take it, but I watched the last 2 seasons, it made me SO happy to see the Doctors. that had left again, the death in flashbacks. And having Dr Green's kid and widow (Dr. River Song from Doctor Who) in the very last episode was amazing.
I guess that is why I like seeing Dr. Song on Doctor Who, I missed her being in my TV, the same way I miss Catherine Tate. Though non of them have actually been in my TV for a really long tame.
Anyway, I'm drifting from what I wanted to talk.
If I saw the original version of the show, and I liked it, I'd watch the 1st episode of who ever is making a ¨new¨ version, if I didn't like it I won't watch it ever again, if I haven't to be stuck with watching it, things might get a little ugly.
There are 2 soap-operas from Argentina that I love, one is called Floricienta and the other is called Patito Feo. Both of them had a Mexican version, which I didn't like, OK I loaded them, and when my sis who only saw Floricienta the original one, watched them and I had to watched them with her I sometimes couldn't take the destroying of the story I felt they were making.
With Floricienta, it is like Cinderella in the modern world, with a mean step sister and her mean mother, the handsome rich guy and everything, the ¨twist¨ was that the rich guy was in charged of his brothers and sister because the parents were dead and he dated the step sister, they don't find out they are family until about 8 months into the show. The rich guy dies, he kinda takes over the body of a Count to let Flor know he loves her even in death and that the Count will be there to protect her and his brothers from the crazy sis, the Count ends up falling for Flor, she gets pregnant they get married, and help the kids (family of the dead guy) become successful in what they love. The soap was on for almost 2 years, so 2 seasons.
When they did the Mexican version, the lead girl is my age and they did the soap when she was 17, the rich guy he falls for was in his mid 20s but he looks a bit older, I mean, some of the brothers were older than the lead, and she looked younger, how the hell was she supposed to end up pregnant. What the network end up doing was do a mash up of season 1 without killing the guy and ending the story there.
With the second soap, the girl Patricia (called Patito) had an amazing voice, and they chose another Mexican girl who can sing to do that part, well that was annoying 'cause the Mexican girl kept trying to do the same voice/musical wonders the girl from Argentina can do (this is just a tiny take of what and how she sings), so it sounded like an animal was being tortured, plus the awful casting they had. With that one, I ended up eating some place else if they were watching it because it was painful to watch it.
With Skins it's the same, I watched the 1st episode, didn't like it. For me, it felt like they were trying to act a lot like the UK cast but also really trying not to be similar, does that make sense? Besides the fact that the guy they have for Tony looks a lot like Cook from UK series 2 of Skins.
We also have Being Human, now I know finding a hot-gorgeous-amazing actor as Aidan was going to be tough, but the guy they have? Does he look like a vampire to you? To me it looks like one of those demons from Charmed.
After the first episode, I didn't watch the rest of either of those shows US edition.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this post anymore, I started it hours ago, had to do something else, and now that I'm back what ever pushed me to write this is gone.
Are there any shows that you love, that got a remake or a spin-off you didn't like, or are you not as crazy as me and don't care about the changes and are able to watch it.
