I have a problem with films/television shows introducing a new generation of characters. This was further instigated when I finished season 2 of Skins, only to be figuratively lashed with the sharp blow of a hand, to realize that the prior characters were no longer recurring. Aside from whatever conflict that may affect this phenomena, this could all well be a clever tactic to somehow keep the media maintaining "fresh". I believe all consumers from all demographics have experienced this at some point in their lifetime. I'm sure it was a little disheartening when Steve from Blue's Clues was mysteriously replaced by his cousin 'Joe'. I can't say much for 90210 fans, but I'm sure the modernities of the elite teenage fake and bake may never match up to par with the days of Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth. Yet you can't discriminate against a show that you once or still love(d). You find yourself loving or accepting the change, or alternatively developing an aversion - with a small margin for middle ground. You also find yourself easing into it, as opposed to recognizing the characters you once knew intimately, until you can finally settle. When it comes down to it, the new generation can easily make or break your viewing pleasure. This is currently how I feel about revising my English paper. Refining and refocusing projects me into a territory of a generation I am apprehensive to introduce.
