You can start if you want. Because 2 Year Reviews has its own area you can start a new topic per episode(s) and post an announcement topic like I did with this. How does that sound?

I have more or less consigned NCS to oblivion - I didn't enjoy it much and I'm so entrenched in the original series, I don't like to muddy my consciousness with 'alternatives'. [That won't be news to anyone, I'm sure. However, it is still nice to think that there are people who like CS because of it - even if part of me thinks: poor misguided souls!

I shall, however, be watching the posts in the new reviews with interest, to see if you can spark my curiosity enough for me to dig the DVDs out from the bookcase and take another look.

I thought that said 1995 and I thought you're very well spoken for a 12 year old!
LOL I'm only 15 though, but I loved OCS before I saw NCS

Great to hear that there are still OCS fans amongst the younger generations

Says me - I'm the 'younger generation' too - I'm 22.

Know your roots, I say, as a diehard NCS fan, and a 'medium' fan of OCS...

I don't have trouble separating the two series in my head, but I think I was too firmly entrenched in NCS by then to be inspired by the original, at least for writing purposes. Still, you never know ! I like reading everyone else's OCS stuff, so I might try it myself sometime.
As for the younger generation, I think it's surprising that people in their twenties are interested in either. I don't think I would have bothered with NCS had I not loved the original and been curious as to what the new one would be like. My twenty-something son, however, was never interested in any TV21 productions and pronounced the CGI series as "rubbish". Clearly, mistakes have been made in his upbringing !

It's just so well made...

I'm a number between 15 and 17 and just over a months time, I'll be that number plus 1. And I can just remember the re-run of the OCS episode Special Assignment... I think its 'cos of the bit where Scarlet shot Blue with a tranq rather than a bullet.
that's madness with a little 'm'... as in 'crazy'...

Don't know whether that's a talent, or just plain annoying...
