Terry Goodkind decided in his youth on the Policy of Truth

Apr 23, 2009 15:46

Vidding? It has been failing quite a lot recently. I really feel that there's no way I can finish the Club Vivid vid by the deadline. Especially considering how I have NOT YET STARTED. Siiiigh. Meanwhile I've been listening to NONESTOP DEPECHE MODE all day, every day, for the past three days. (I just wanna live in that synth, y'all.) So guys. ( Read more... )

I think my problem is that I adored Series 1 so much and unlike the majority of people involved and/or watching it, I didn't think it needed to be changed into this LoM clone. Because hurhur it still got shit reviews! Ugh. I liked it being separate and pwning LoM which I thought S1 was doing VERY well. If it ain't broke don't fix it, dammit.

If you ever feel like doing a more indepth review, I'd love to read it.
Maybe I'll do it a bit later when I see more of this season. For now if you're curious, I can link you to some S1 meta that I did involving The Theory. Here and here.

I think I understand what you're saying, and from the experiences I've had with other spin-offs generally what usually happens is they jump in with the first season all OMG WE'RE GONNA BE SO DIFFERENT LOOK AT US GO, which you either love or hate, you know? But then after a couple seasons they all basically revert to the original formula of the parent show. It literally happens every time. (Thinking of Angel, SGA, possibly A2A)I think the only time it didn't happen is with something like Xena where it stayed like it was and pwnd its predecessor continuously (in ratings and quality). IDK.

I still don't see why the Theory can't hold true. I mean there has to be a reason for them playing "The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum" RIGHT after the nurses were all "She's dead for sure." It's these little things which I'm hoping are the key. Certainly I'd do that if I were writing the show. ;) I'd make the red herring really pungent so that the big reveal is really BIG. Unlike Sam's coma. Ahem.

the thing is, people who didn't like it in the first place probably won't even care, so mainly stuff should be left alone and the creators should focus on their vision, not what the viewers want. Fan pandering is bad
Ugh I know! That's why I'm so pissed because the reviews still were poop. I just think it's very obvious that they're trying to be like LoM when you really can't hide THE 80'S. It just seems forced. Also fan pandering is THE WORST because fans are insane and completely unqualified to make a show work. LJ has taught me that some fans don't even distinguish their crack ships from reality. Like they actually want that stuff to happen on screen for realsies! They don't comprehend how a television show works!

You're very correct that we should give Ashes a bit more time. I'm jumping on it after only one episode, and certainly I was not head over heels for it after episode 1 of S1, so yeah, I'll STFU now. :)

I remember someone writing a long ramble about how let down they were when JK Rowling didn't put Harry and Ron together - the ranter had been genuinely convinced it was going to happen.
OMG THIS!!! Yeah it truly boggles the mind. And they exist in EVERY FANDOM. I just can't handle it. It's fine to ship cracky things like you said, like as a fun thing on the interwebs. But please don't think it'll ever happen! Good grief!
