I still haven't gotten Season 4 yet!

My bad.

But I am working on it. I got waylaid by The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Battlesar Galactica, Alias, and Dark Angel.

And a Season 5 as well? I like it when there's something more to look forward to - getting to the end of the season in a great series can be depressing. (I still have BSG 3, 4 and 4.5 to look out for).

I haven't seen the US version, but knowing what America did to The Office, I can sympathize with you!

:hat:

Different, maybe!

There's really no comparison. The UK original had a real comedy and pathos to it.

Something got lost in translation.

I've seen an odd few, and liked them. There are shades of Skins in there. They probably deserve watching in the future.

Just noticed that a Google ad for Skins is playing on the right side of this page. I don't normally take any notice of the ads, and I've gotten so used to that grumpy John Sergeant-ish Indy PF that I barely notice him either.

Ehhh so I watched another episode of USA Skins last night and from what I collect only 2 out of the 10 episodes will be remakes of the U.K. series 1... so its going to go in its own direction which is cool its just the actors are ehhhhhh at best and I don't feel connected to them like I do the U.K. actors

its not as horrible as I originally said its just.... different

That's not too bad, then. If the actors are portraying the same UK characters that'll get a bit of getting used to. What's the US equivalent of Bristol?

I finally secured Series 4 on DVD. It should be here in a few days, but I still have seasons 4 & 5 of Alias to watch. These turned out to be real 'page-turners'.

Well there is a USA Tony, Sid=Stanley Cassie=Caddie Chris keeps his name Anwar=Abud Im kinda wondering why they kept him a Muslim because that doesnt workas well in the US as in the UK I would of liked to see him as a Jewish or Mormon something a little more American.



Baltimore is the new Bristol


out of all the characters I like Stanley the best he is kinda like a Kurt Cobainish stoner and he is really interesting

...or so I thought.

After excuses from the Ebay seller and false promises, no DVDs ever arrived. Ebay refunded my money today, so now I begin again.

In the meantime, 'hachi, know any good propane accessory related stories? ;)

Just watch season 4 online man thats what I did but make sure its from a site that supports propaine

I prefer to have them on DVD - something special about having a world on a set of of shiny discs, to watch and re-watch when the mood strikes. (Apart from that, watching moviers online would eat far too much into my monthly limit!)

I'm on a monthly download/upload limit at the moment. I still prefer to wait and savour TV series on DVD. (I even prefer having a series on DVD to watching it week by week on TV).

Best get Skins 4 soon, as 5 will be out before I know it.
