Yeah, I getcha, when they include the original cast it feels like a real continuation and it can be really interesting to see what the characters were up to in the meantime. And it feels like a sign of respect and consideration to keep what people liked about the original. And I think I don’t even hate them on principle when they don’t include the original cast, we get some cool takes in there, like ODAAT.
Having said all that, I did not watch the original L Word and will probably not be checking out the new version. It’s just…so much…drama. Heh. I prefer an overarching plot?
