There is no way McG can be true to the feel of this show. Now, i'm no McG hater (despite Charlies Angels 2 and the worst Irish accent in history). Supernatural is a great show. But Spaced without Edgar, Simon, Jessica and Nick makes no sense at all. McG's going to try to make it good. There is no try. Hope there's a reckoning...

I think that, I wouldn't have the willpower not to check this out if it does get made, just a teeny bit of it... but it is really unfair that Jess and Simon and co had no say in it, I mean they're not just the actors/actresses they wrote it and Edgar directed etc etc, so its like, their baby! wow, pretty cool that she read and thanked you!

THATS ALL that i would change. seriously. absolutely nothing else; it is all perfect. and i'm a perfectionist, in case you couldn't tell! spaced is very close to my heart and it brings me great sadness to hear about mcspaced, though, because i would plain just blank it out and ignore it, it brings me most sadness to hear the creators being upset about it. mcg would indeed be a cruel man to continue with it. i can see it turning out like the big bang theory whatever that piece of shit with the geeks in the apartment. i have nothing more to say about this similarity though because one episode was enough for a deathtime. GAH!!!! <3 spaced <3 i just don’t understand all of this, i really just… don’t… spaced is the absolute perfect, i’ve only ever had two things wrong with it ever ever;

But yeah, I don't think I'll watch the americanized version. Spaced has too special of a place in my heart for that. I'm just gonna invest in a region free dvd player soon, and buy it overseas I think... My favorite bit is the finger gun battle….lol.

"I've got some funking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket!" Oh, wait, Jaffa Cakes aren't universal here in the states. So it'd probably be: "I've got some funking Oreos in my coat pocket!" And they might even tweak it a bit more: "I've got some [insert catchy street slang meant to connect with young audience here] Oreos in my fashionable yet geek accessible coat pocket!" I can see it now…

Namely that NONE OF THE ORIGINAL CREATORS OF SPACED ARE INVOLVED! If they can't get Edgar Wright or Simon Pegg behind this endeavor, what's the point? (and they are vocally against this) Also, it's true that a lot of the quirkiness (not to mention the cursing) that they can get away with on British television will be lost in the remake, and that's a lot of what made the show so great!
