Why I'm refusing to watch Being Human.

In a new entry of "Amy is shallow" confessions:



...I don't want to watch this show because they made her the ghost.

G'wan, tell me it's awesome and that she kicks ass all the same and I shouldn't turn my back on it for that silly reason. I'm ready.

I didn't watch it because they changed her AND the vampire, from the pilot. I liked the wan, whiny, um, bloodless vampire . . . I just could NOT see this guy *points up* as the person who can't function in undeath because he's tortured by his conscience. And they replaced the very ordinary looking and also wan ghost girl with MEGAHOTBABE. I'm not sure why that bothered me, it just did. Does even a ghost have to be a MEGAHOTBABE? I guess on tv, everybody has to be.

Really? Wait, you mean they changed the actors? Then I'm not hallucinating! I thought some of them looked different from pictures I'd seen before.

In the British version, yep! I liked the change in the ghost actresses. It wasn't that the new one was hot, but the old one I just didn't connect with. I was mostly indifferent to the vampire change, and the new one grew on me quick.

Man, thank you guys for all the enlightenment. I had no idea there were two versions!

With SyFy calling it an "original series, I bet lots of people won't know. Worse, eventually they'll think the American version came first.
