So I don't know if anyone on my flist has even heard of these books, but I was a big fan of the Kelley Armstrong book Bitten and there's going to be a Canadian tv version of it. 13 episodes and airing on Space

And I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the casting. Laura Vandervoort is actually a very good actress, but she's just not Elena to me. I always pictured Elena as being more tomboyish, no make-up, hair tied back in a ponytail. The books always made a big deal about how casually she dressed and styled herself. Then you look at the pictures of Laura as Elena and she just doesn't fit that picture for me at all. Ditto Clayton who the book always made a big deal of having golden curls and being quite angelic-looking, this is just some generic beefcake guy. Not a comment on his acting as I've never seen him in anything before, just in terms of looks he is all wrong for Clayton IMO

Or am I being too picky? :P

Of all the changes to the books I think I am most devastated that he doesn't have a Southern accent quite honestly lol, I was always swooning when he would call Elena "Darling" and I was hearing it in my head *g* It was such a big part of the books with him keeping that distinctive accent and even being made fun of for it when he was younger in the Men Of The Underworld series, so I don't understand how they could just drop that with the excuse that an actor can't do an accent

I'm still going to watch though yeah, hopefully I will be able to get past none of the actors looking right if they all still do a good job with the parts
