It took me while to figure out what it was that didn't sit right but you hit the nail on the head with how she tried too hard and that made everything seem over the top and often awkward to watch.<br />I'm not at all hopeful for Dom as Jace ahah. He clearly wasn't comfortable with the character and it was glaringly obvious that a lot was also forced. Same with the bad guys that felt generic. When we see more of them I think that will improve, just like Alec & Isabelle (though the book versions will remain my favourite)<br />Simon and Valentine were perfect *thumbs up* that ending was not *thumbs down*<br />I'm hoping it will improve in episodes to come, either way though I'm excited to continue talking about it :D<br /><a href="http://enchantedbyya.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/arc-review-girl-from-everywhere-girl.html" rel="nofollow">Enchanted by YA</a><br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843689281967857645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414390875368071727.post-39960799603142458022016-01-16T00:18:19.812-05:002016-01-16T00:18:19.812-05:00I like how the books are in regards to the tech, b...I like how the books are in regards to the tech, but who knows maybe they'll make it work to the shop's advantage.Lauren Stoolfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777860030600932061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414390875368071727.post-14693393624537786012016-01-15T09:38:58.247-05:002016-01-15T09:38:58.247-05:00I agree with you!

I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who doesn't like Clary's hair! I looked it up and she definitely does have natural red hair, it just isn't as bright. I thought the pilot was decent, so I have high hopes! I don't like the Institute being so high-techy! It is just so weird that there are so many people there and that there is so much technology. I don't like it...do you?<br /><br />Thanks for commenting Lauren! :DGennifer Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649868338706328764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414390875368071727.post-78109954033918121392016-01-15T01:02:20.473-05:002016-01-15T01:02:20.473-05:00I watched this online the other day and I like it ...I watched this online the other day and I like it more than I expected to, especially after seeing the movie and the promos that had been released. I'm not sold on the two playing Clary and Jace yet, but the rest seem okay so far. Like you said, Clary's hair is so unnatural looking. As a natural red head myself, I know there can be all sorts of shades of the color, but not this one. I thought I had heard that McNamara is a red head herself and had to dye her hair from blonde to red for this part. The guy playing Jace doesn't have the tone down yet. Hopefully things get better over the course of the show, but it was a pretty decent pilot. Really interested to see where they go with the show, and finding out where else it will differ. By the way, what did you think of the Institute being made into some sort of CIA headquarters? Lauren Stoolfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777860030600932061noreply@blogger.com
