I liked what little we've seen of them both. But, really, we've hardly seen enough to decide that we hate them or that they can't act.PolkadotConfederation wrote:I'd feel really bad if the creators were trying to make us choose a new girl, though...because we hate all of them.
If you go back and watch Bree's first couple of vlogs, they're pretty bad. She was way too sing-songy in how she spoke (which, along with the "um"s, I think was supposed to cover the line transitions). That's not a diss to Jessica Rose, but it is to say that most actors don't "feel out" their character until they've played them for a little while (arguably, the writers don't either). Compare early Bree to present Bree and there's a big difference.
The only reason Bree didn't get trashed the way Jules and Taylor have been is because people didn't know she was a fictional character. They're approaching these two "potentials" (Buffy fans will get this, I think) with the knowledge that they're not real people, and with the critical analysis parts of their brain in overdrive when they get there.
All that said, I personally think Bree's intro dialogue was still a little more natural than Jules'. Being sing-songy and using "um"s does make things feel less scripted. I thought Taylor did basically as good of a job, though.
Okay, now I REALLY hate this girl.
please let Kas be right!
out of practice a little I think!
