When I think about La Femme Nikita (which I mentioned like YESTERDAY), I think about nariya and our conversations about LFN.

I do not think about the CW doing a REMAKE of the show. No. FAIL.

When I first read the news I was blinded with rage.

Go make your own shitty spy show and leave the fond (and frustrated) memories of my beloved spy show ALONE, CW.

Has the CW put on any original shows? Oh wait, Gossip Girl. I guess that is sort of original.

no no no no no no no hell no.

...NO.

[jamesinboots.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just saw the pitch for that on my google reader earlier. The creators are actually two of the Supernatural EPs, McG and Peter Johnson.

The CW just needs to stop doing remakes PERIOD.

I WANT TO CALL NAR AND RAGE ABOUT IT SO HARD BUT IT'S TOO LATE AT NIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

I weep at the thought of how CW will manage to warp LFN into some teen drama thing.

No. A million levels of wrong. No.

Oh HELL NO. MFN. NO. NO. NO. Are you kidding me? And of course it would be tweeniefied and Nikita would be a 17 yr old and Michael would be a student teacher or something. Just no.

Man, was I ever obsessed with that show. I remember they used to show reruns at 2 am and I would check every night before going to sleep to make sure there there was space on the tape and every morning to see if it had recorded. VHS, BABY! It was one heck of a messed up show, wasn't it? I still remember being, WTF when they revealed she was working for the organization in the first place. Jeez, the twists on that show.

In conclusion: NO.

Hahahaha. That is so ridiculous that I almost want it to happen. There are a lot of shows that could be remade for a CW audience. La Femme Nikita? IS NOT ONE OF THEM. (My sister used to call it "that show with all the hurty sex.")

But but I... *points at username* .... WTF?!?!?!

[chelseagirl47.livejournal.com]

As has been said above, WTF?

Remaking things from the 60s and 70s, okay, that's a generation away.

Remaking things from the late 90s? Makes no sense. (I don't count their remakes of 90210 and Melrose Place, because a) they're more like continuations and b) they're not achieving the iconic/crack! status of the originals.

I'm still on a groups-of-friends mailing list that had its origins as an LFN group, and I'm off to find out -- I think one of us is still involved in Roy Dupuis fandom so maybe she'll have heard . . .

[chelseagirl47.livejournal.com]

to find out if they know about this yet, I mean -- (not that I think their info would be more reliable than yours)

WHY REMAKE IT WHY????

*whimpers*

Are you KIDDING me?

Remakes are rarely good, and they usually only get everything wrong and omg.... They're so gonna make Birkoff into a sexy high-heeled gal...

*whiiiiiiiiiiimpers*

The beauty of LFN is that it was over, done, finito. I could block, deny or watch again at will - but I didn't need to bother about a WHOLE new show on it.

Madeleine and Operations will be going at it like bunnies. On screen. Mark my words.

Dang, this is even worse than the Buffy comics.

*pout*
