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.

It is a perfectly ghastly remake and I am beyond disappointed, but really I was not expecting much to begin with. SIGH.


DERP DERP ignore my mad ramblings, I thought you were talking about the terrible US remake, not the delightful original series. (which, admittedly, I have only ever seen at the gym, with the sound off. nevertheless. delightful!)

Wait, I think I am talking about the US version! You mean it's a remake of something?

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the original series is on BBC Three and is in its third season, I think? And SciFi (I shun their silly rename) just started a US remake of it that is pretty awful.

Third, yep! They released some promos that were pokes at the US "original series" version.

Oh, that explains so much! I saw the promo pic in a magazine, had my reaction, went googling for a promo pic online, thought, "Are those the same actors? Must be, I guess I'm just hallucinating," and then was extra-confused by blamebrampton's comment that the first season had been good, while I was thinking, "I thought the show had, like, just started?" Now I understand why I've been so confused!

The pic you're using is form the BBC original, hence the confusion?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ha, I didn't know there were two versions at all! I just grabbed a promo pic off the web (and wondered why my brain was saying, "They look different from that pic in the magazine I saw the other day...Oh, well, I must be misremembering,").

the promo pic in the post looks like the BBC version, not the US. (At least, I've seen half the first season of the BBC one and those sure look like the actors to me...)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I had no idea there was more than one version, so I just google-imaged "Being Human" and all the promo pics seemed to be of these guys, so, I just grabbed one!

Word. I'm watching the original right now, it actually kind of kicks ass.
