It's so nice how you try to explain what CountVladdy tried to explain.
What can I say, TaraDS? That's one of the differences between the two of us: I actually read other people's comments and make an effort to understand their point of view. If you tried that now and then, you might have something more meaningful to say than:
Rhabarber, Rhabarber, Rhabarber.
Your insistence in believing - against all evidence - that the
ONLY reason anyone might not like your favorite television series simply
MUST be because unreasonable people are book purists who can't bear to have a movie adaptation change anything whatsoever about a book is far from an original argument.
That's exactly what
everyone says who likes an inferior film adaptation of a book but can't explain why and can't hold his own against the people who can see the flaws in what he likes so much. And because the people who like these inferior film adaptations almost never have the honesty to stand up and say "I know it isn't that great a work, but I really like it anyway." they fall back on accusing people of hating the film adaptation just because it departs from the books, no matter how obvious it has been made that this is not the case.
You could probably cut and paste your "arguments" against people like CountVlad and me from about half the listings on IMDB that are for film adaptations of books without needing to change a single word. The fact that this doesn't tell you anything just goes to show how much of a waste of time it really is to try to talk to you.
So let's remove the temptation to waste time trying to reach someone who is bound and determined not to hear or understand anything said by anyone who doesn't just adore her favorite television show.
MUTED.
Now run along and spam the message boards endlessly with your ridiculous petition in your doomed effort to revive a television show that died years ago and isn't going to be resurrected, even if it is about the undead.
PS: My signature is a paraphrase of a statement made by a journalist that led to Hollywood's nickname of "Tinseltown". I felt comfortable using a paraphrase without the attribution that I would have included if space had permitted because there is question about who said it originally.
But it also says a lot about what kind of person you are, that you ignored virtually every point I made in my post and then tried to mock my signature line in order to divert attention from that. Low blow.
