[QUOTE="Marika, post: 238416, member: 721"] I've now watched until episode 14, the premiere of the "rebooted" version. Ironically, the episodes that were initially not broadcast in the US (episodes 10 to 13) where the best in the whole series. There was slick dialogue, some heated confrontations, and some of the characters showed new character traits. I loved Stephanie going all Alison Parker on Carrie, storming in her office and calling her a "piece of dirt" (or something like that). Mark slowly realizing that he was only crazy Carrie's boytoy and her recording his booty call only to forward it to every staff member of "Communique" was also soapy gold. Now the reboot... the first episode felt really empty. Mark and Stephanie are gone; Nikki and her storyline vanished without a trace; the Alex and Peter scenes were mostly recycled from the previous episode; and the Rachel vs Carrie feud at "Communique" feels repetitive. While Adam Brock is a nice addition, it was very contrived that he gained control over "Communique" within one episode. Now Linda and Gil, the two characters who were basically just empty shells during the show's first incarnation, are suddenly front and center. I don't know why this reboot was even greenlit. They should have ended this show with episode 13. [/QUOTE]
