Saw the trailer for this and thought, hmmmm, that sounds familiar - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0497298/. They'll never be able to top James Nesbitt and his performance.
Way to go NBC.....just one more reason I don't watch you guys unless I have to.
Agreed!
Real men don't get the Earth to help carry their luggage
I actually thought James Nesbitt ruined Hyde in that version. He wasn't threatening and came across like a joker.
The writing will no doubt be superior in that version.
"See it with someone you love...Go by yourself"
It's too bad you don't know how to hyperlink a URL so I can verify how much this show is like the alleged British version. Whiner.
shareIt's too bad you don't know how to copy and paste, making you look like an even bigger whiner.
Donnie: Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
Frank: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
Stop whining. The BBC does British versions of American shows all the time.
There is NOTHING new under the sun, no matter country you are in.
What makes me laugh is the thought that once the BBC have done a remake of something, most recently Sherlock, it should never be remade again.
Jekyll & Hyde has been made many, many times before the BBC version came along.
"See it with someone you love...Go by yourself"
The problem in that instance was that the same producers who ended up putting a team together for Elementary had initially contacted the people behind the recent BBC version and asked if they could do a straight remake of that particular imagining. That meant that the minute they did anything the same as the BBC version, whether it was from the original stories or not, they were accused of ripping them off.
I think that may also be the hurdle which prompted them to go with a female Watson, the particulars of the plot denouements involving Moriarty, etc. Decisions which ultimately made the show a bit poor.
You do know, don't you, that the original story predates either version, and indeed the invention of television?
shareExactly. And the thing it actually made me think of was one of NBC's own shows from a couple year ago witht he same basic premise starring Christian Slater.
sharekind of differnct then the BBC
That guy had super strengh and everything and kind of became a superhero/anti hero fighting an evil goverment
This guy is just someone with a split personality
A premise that been done on TV long before anyone in her was born

This show does have more in common with a Wyman Guin novella (as mentioned on its wikipedia page) than the original Jekyll and Hyde story.
shareshut up you twat....... I'm British and whilst I agree america can make some cheesy rubbish tv. BUT at the same time they make the best TV shows the world has seen. Sons of anarchy, battle star galactica, game of thrones, walking dead, dexter, justified, the good wife, true blood, star gate, spartacus blood and sand, firefly, rome (2005), married with children, buffy, farscape, veronica mars, star trek etc etc the list goes on but basically we have nothing that comes even close to this level.
So stop harping on about usa ripping off British tv shows before you embarrass yourself any more.
you could have said that without the nasty sexual comment.
shareThat word does not mean what you think it means.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twat#Modern_usage
well there is a language gap here because in the states it certainly does mean what I think it means. Anyway, tally ho! oh wait...
shareIts a shame that the US down not own the internet.
If a Brit is making a comment to a Brit, then the British use of the word takes priority. There is no language gap - you are taking offense where there was none.

Flaming someone for a typo: juvenile.

IMDB is not US specific.
What is the title of this thread?
Who self-identified as british?
Who took offense when none was intended?
Actually, that isn't a typo. Thsi is a typo. Oe this. Not than.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
Are you seriously trying to argue what qualifies as a typo? I didn't think it could get more juvenile than flaming someone for a typo, but congratulations you did it!
Just in case it wasn't clear, the OP meant "does" and mistyped it as "down" - that is what's known as an atomic typo.
http://atomictypo.blogspot.tw
He wrote the wrong word. It's a mistake, but not a typo. He was looking ahead to writing "own". A typo is a wrong keystroke. It's OK, a lot of people make that mistake.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
Wow. You really think your arbitrary narrowing of what kind of mistakes count as typos is meaningful. Amazing. Especially given that the kind of error the OP made has its own specific subclass of typo which I've previously cited.
None of the dictionary definitions support your private definition.
Merriam-Webster, the most authoritative of the freely available dictionaries makes, no such distinction.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/typo
an error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material
Tell you what - if you can come up with even a moderately respectable dictionary definition documenting your narrow usage then I'll take it all back.
He didn't spell it wrong. He wrote the wrong word.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
He made an error that ended up spelling another unrelated word - the very definition of an atomic typo.
Still waiting for you to find a dictionary that backs you up.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/typo
He made an error as you said, but it wasn't an error in the way he typed. It was a mental error.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
Even if you could know what was in the writer's head, a "mental error" is a distinction without a difference. The end result is all that matters - an error in the process of typing. Your dictionary citation doesn't even come close to backing you up either.
shareYou're talking out both sides of your mouth. So now any mistake someone makes on here is a typo because they're typing it? Come on.
typo - a mistake in printed matter resulting from mechanical failures of some kind
What part don't you get? He didn't make a mechanical failure, he made a mental one.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
He didn't make a mechanical failure, he made a mental one.Your premise is to take that definition at its most literal. In which case, transposing characters because you typed them out of order doesn't count as that is a 'mental' failure - your brain decided to type the characters in the wrong order - no keyboard failure, no software failure, no mechanics at all, just purely a 'mental' error.
So now any mistake someone makes on here is a typo because they're typing it?Pretty much, yes. Accidentally leaving a word out, adding extra characters, dropping characters, re-ordering characters, etc all are typos. Unlike you, I don't have any contradictions or duplicity in my usage of the term. share
No, thsi is a typo. I hit the right keys at the wrong time. Purely a keyboard error. If I typed DOWN and meant to type UP, that is a mental error. Why don't you stop being a child and admit you are wrong. You must be very young.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
No, thsi is a typo. I hit the right keys at the wrong time. Purely a keyboard error.(A) Right keys, wrong time that's a real typo. But wrong keys, that's a 'mental' error.
If I typed DOWN and meant to type UP, that is a mental error.I would agree with that. But that's not what happened, so bringing that up is a red herring. DOWN/UP are opposites with no letters in common - switching them also switches the meaning. DOES/DOWN are conceptually unrelated words that share half of their letters - switching them does not switch the meaning, it just creates noise like any other typo would.
Why don't you stop being a child and admit you are wrong. You must be very young.Yes, when shown to be a hypocrite, stamp your foot and demand we acknowledge the divine truth of your personal opinions.
He wrote the wrong word, a mental error not a keyboard error. You're in your twenties, right?You know you started this when you claimed the guy "flamed" someone when in fact he made no comment at all. You're the one who went crazy over it. That's why I made my original comment about you being wrong, which you still are.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
e wrote the wrong word, a mental error not a keyboard error. You're in your twenties, right?You keep restating that without anything to back you up. Well, when you try to find something to back you up, all you do is contradict yourself, over and over again. So, bare assertion, plus insults are what you consider persuasive? And I'm the 20 year old? What does that make you? Seven? share
He wrote down instead of does. That is a fact. That is what "backs me up". I have not contradicted myself, you have. You called me "immature" first, by the way. I try to make it a point not to insult people on here. It's cowardly and small. Asking if you are in your twenties is not an insult.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
He wrote down instead of does. That is a fact. That is what "backs me up".Circular argument for the fail! Woohoo!
I have not contradicted myself, you have.Yes, I keep contradicting you because you keep stating your opinion as if it were fact. It ain't, its just opinion that you can't even support with a consistent argument.
I try to make it a point not to insult people on here.Yeah, that is what's going on here.
Asking if you are in your twenties is not an insult.Ah, one of those types - implied meaning doesn't count. By that set of rules, I never called you "juvenile" either and since when is being young something bad? share
It was not a typo, he used the wrong word. You keep stating your position as fact also. I implied nothing, you seem to think being young is an insult.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
It was not a typo, he used the wrong word. You keep stating your position as fact also.You are the one who claimed I was incorrect. Up to you to support your claim. You haven't. Yet I've cited the most authoritative dictionary short of the OED to support my claim. You picked some random dictionary that, at best, implicitly supported your opinion and then tried to pick and choose how you applied that definition, lenient for you, narrow for others.
I implied nothing, you seem to think being young is an insult.Yes, you just randomly threw that out there, for no particular reason. In fact, it was all just a mental error. You typed a whole bunch of wrong words, that's all it was.
I notice you didn't respond to this onIt was just the same bald assertion from you that a typo that spells another word isn't a typo because well, not sure why because. Something about you knowing what was in the typist's head. share
I supported my claim with definitions from real sources, not blogs. I also showed you , using your blog definition of an atomic typo, that you were wrong and that it wasn't an atomic typo.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
I supported my claim with definitions from real sources, not blogs.(A)Some random "free dictionary" is no more a "real source" than a blog -- especially when you can't even keep your definition consistent from one post to another. I would have given it you, but all your derp about right letters, wrong order, but not wrong letters (none of which was in the definition you cited) showed that all you've got is an opinion inconsistently applied.
I also showed you , using your blog definition of an atomic typo, that you were wrong and that it wasn't an atomic typo.Maybe that is what you thought you were doing, I don't know what is inside your head. But what you actually did was just make the same bald assertion that an undefined "mental error" that causes a typo doesn't really cause a typo.
I notice you didn't respond to this one.
By the way, what he did was NOT an atomic typo. According to your "blog" definition (as if that means anything), an atomic typo is a typo that can't be corrected by spellcheck because it spelled another word. This is NOT what he did. He did not make a typo that spelled another word. He typed the wrong word. The example given was unclear and nuclear. The NU and UN are reversed and that is a typo, and since they are both words it becomes an atomic typo because spellcheck won't catch it, get it?
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
Yes, I get it, you just deny deny deny when I prove you wrong. Plus I don't know what derp is. Read your "blog" again and if you're honest you'll see I'm right.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
Read your "blog" again and if you're honest you'll see I'm right.So now the blog is authoritative enough for you. OK, lets see how long that lasts...
Blog said:
An atomic typo is an incorrect word in a text that a context-challenged spell-check system is unable to detect because the spelling of the word is not incorrect -- it is just different from the actual word that was intended.
You wrote:So, lets hear you derp it up again -- what is the difference between a "wrong word" and an "incorrect word?" Care to try a little argument-hopping instead? share

Nice cherry picking, now read the whole definition.
What we have here is failure to communicate!share
Nice cherry picking, now read the whole definition.How can I cherry pick the definition? Are you saying the definition contradicts itself? No, all you are doing is reading it through the lens of your opinion and ignoring the part that contradicts you.
This is phenomenal. Do any of you actually care that much about who is right and who is wrong? Surely what does or doesn't qualify as a typo is irrelevant to the point. He made a typing error and it's clear what he meant so who cares if it's a typo or an atomic-typo or a quantum-typo or an faux-typo or no typo at all?
What if a squirrel wants a sausage?
I was talking about unclear and nuclear. Sudan and Sedan is not a typo. It is a misspelling. So is Christ for Crist. If you misspell a word, it is not a typo. It is a mistake in spelling.

shareThe IMDb is not US specific? I may be wrong.. but I thought, well I typed www.us.imdb.com to get here.. and I thought there were several IMDb sites for different countries.. I was under the impression although they shared the same name they were seperate entities? is that wrong? does the UK site link into this one as well?
Not starting a fight.. just genuinely curious.
In fact, IMDB is a british subsidiary of Amazon - founded by a brit and incorporated in the UK until Amazon acquired them. Not that it matters particularly, all of the english language versions of IMDB go to the same place.
