I hear you, i just find it a bit sad that British people can wade through our
cultural differences, yet Americans can't do the same with theirs. One can
figure out what a "lorrie" or "lift" is from the context of what's being
discussed. But that's egocentric America for you...

So that they can replace the lead actress with a blond, of course.
Seriously, so many of the dramatic remakes are worse and don't last
long. The comedies seem to make it, but I would imagine--as someone has
mentioned--that the comedies do a major rewrite in order to match U.S.
comedy styles.

I like Owen. I don't care much for Jack though. I am not a big fan of Martha
Jones either. The personalities are so different so that the original cast
gels well together.

I'm sure i will adapt, but it seems to me that they built the show
around Harkness. Barrowman is a hard act to follow. As much as I like
Martha Jones, I believe the show that is left will be a shell of what it
was . It is too bad. I think the new season is much better than the
first season
As someone who thinks Naoko Mori is hot and Captain Harkness is a
hoot, suspenders and all, I am not at all excited by this news.
