Fandom Polygamy

Ho-kay, so, I was recently introduced the Being Human (US), and it pretty much took all of my strength to come to work today rather than call out with love sickness so I could stay at home and make googly eyes at my laptop screen all day while watching various monsters angst about their monsterness, with the occasional chuckle, violence, or

Really? We like the British version so much more. The US version feels off, like watching a movie when audio doesn't line up with the visual--so annoying!!

Well, the Roomie introduced me to the US version first, so I really don't know the British version. I can understand the dissonance, but the werewolf is my new tv boyfriend, so...(I can so feel you judging me right now).

Why is there a US version? The UK one is lovely! Russell Tovey, Aiden Turner and Lenora Cricklow, what's not to love?!

[toldthestars]

See, now, I know NONE of those people. It's sort of the baby duckling thing--I saw the US version first, so I imprinted on it. Now, I'm sure the UK version is just as full of awesome, but right now I've got googly eyes for Sam Huntington, as he is, in this metaphor, my momma duck werewolf.

...that all makes perfect sense, right?

Yeah it makes sense, I just don't see why they didn't just broadcast the original - it's not even old, the most recent series was showing this year!

OH NOES, this immediately implies to me that you have not seen Desperate Romantics? Or Sugar Rush? Or possibly Dr Who? Though the last option, Russell is only in like 2 eps so I could forgive you for not knowing who I mean. :) They have probably also been in American productions, but these are their main shows that come to mind. :) Though Russell Tovey was also in The History Boys.
