Karen Gillan, the new redhead, is not so good


I was really looking forward to looking at Karen Gilland in the new season of ntsf but she's just so bad. I feel like she is kinda ruining the show for me.

I wasn't familiar with her before she started on NTSF, but her whole "Gadget Girl" thing on "Burn After Killing" was the best part of the episode in my opinion.

They use her character to explain what is going on in the show. They give
her too many lines and make her say them way too fast. Since she is always
talking (rapidly) she doesn't have a chance to do any acting. At least they
were smart enough to put her in short skirts.

what, really? I found her to be funny especially the whole Eddroid bit. What I actually don't like is that Piper hasn't been on much

Ignorance is Carlisle.

I gave her a chance, but she's ruining the show for me, too. The character is irritating in first instance, but Gillan lacks the comic timing of the others; there's no chemistry there. It's like she's trying too hard or something. If there's another series, hopefully they'll find someone else or, better yet, bring back Jessie.

How can someone who gets about a minute of screen time (or less) per episode ruin the show for you?

reply

For the reasons stated in my post. No more explanation is required.

dude is just an oversensitive aspie.

She was jarring at first, and it was like they were trying to shoe-horn her in with pointless dialogue, but I feel like she definitely found her place after 4 or 5 episodes.

I do miss Jessie though.

I guess she had to shave her head and paint herself blue first.
