9) show you loved and then you hated

41) replacement for an actor.

1. Hmm that’s a tough question because there are a lot of shows (like Buffy!) where I love the concept of the show, so in many ways a modern reboot would be fascinating, but at the same time there’s a reason that the idea is so widely unpopular. You’re generally a fan because of that particular cast and writing team, so it’s hard to say that you want a completely new version of a show that is already a favourite of yours, it’s almost like saying that you think the existing version could be improved upon

I tend to be much more into revivals than straightup reboots, I love things like the Veronica Mars revival where you bring the original cast back and catch up with their lives today, rather than reboots. Although La Femme Nikita was rebooted and I love both versions very much, so it’s not something that I’m not open too if it’s done well, but generally it’s hard to picture in advance a show that you want to be rebooted after you’re already fallen in love with an actor in the role


9. I’m not sure that there is a show that I’ve flat out hated after once loving it. I had my moments of anger at Gossip Girl, Smallville, Pretty Little Liars, but I still re-watch those shows, so I wouldn’t say that I hate them overall, more just some of the storytelling choices that were made

What makes me stop watching is usually when I become indifferent or bored. I did stop watching Torchwood because they killed off three members of the main cast, and after that I just had no interest in continuing to watch after two of my favourites were dead. One character who was killed I didn’t like anyway lol, but the other two were kind of a dealbreaker for me


41. Honestly Buffy! I would make a shockingly terrible Buffy, but it would be a dream fantasy where I could just do my spin kicks and beat up vampires
