It just looks more new than the movie version but I guess that's true about it being abandoned. I don't think anyone would want to go anywhere near it


True. Camille always wanted the power especially if she could control everything. I don't remember if she was hiding around that time or she was off somewhere for business?


Yeah and I think when Simon drank Jace's blood he wasn't too fond of it.

It could be that. I guess they need to know where the cup is and since Simon didn't have the information and Clary probably does they need to let him go. It will be interesting to see how it goes down with Magnus.

I'm not sure how I feel about Jace/Alec, but this post explains a part of what could be going on and why it's not feeling right.
the one with the blue eyes.

:nod: That's a very plausible explanation, and it seems quite true.

Same, like I'm scared for their first kiss, it will be so forced.

Clary casting is beyond mortifying and Isabelle is basically bipolar to the book. :bawl:

I think so far Alec, Jocelyn, Valentine and Hodge can play they're parts well. Other than that, the rest need the sack.

It's a good atmosphere and feels epic like the books, but the actors just don't really propel it.

And same, i mentioned this in my previous post that so far I've only liked episode 2.

I just not feeling them and it seems that they are trying so hard to be likable couple, but I prefer movie couple more than this one.. Oh well.. But I def can see that happening..

well its cannon that alec loves/loved jace though so i didnt now how you meant it.

Im not sure the writers notice how jace treated alec though. him saying alec doesn't like anyone i think is just accurate, i dont think it was him dismissing alecs feelings and i dont think anything will come of it later. you would think and hope it would but I'm not sure the writers are that on top of things.

i just hope they dont kiss for a long time but i bet they will soon.

i like them and i think the first two episodes did a good job, the third one felt too forced with the sword scene imo.

The sword scene did feel a bit cringey.

I have to disagree on that. Izzy is the exact way she is written and that makes her casting so beautiful to me. :sigh: why do you think it is bipolar to the book?

It was..

i dont see izzy as bipolar to the book (though do you mean opposite?) but i dont think the actress is great.

the first episodes feelt like an supernatural CSI or something its really strange.
I can't wait to see Magnus and Alec together but the rest of the show is just ok. I'm a little dissapointed. Normally i would say tv can be more true to the books but in this case it's not and thats sad because it's such a good story and cassandra clare deserves a good filming.

Same. The only couple in this show who have chemistry was Simon and that Vampire :rotfl: They're not even a couple.

I have a feeling they'll make them kiss for dramatically long. This whole show seems overly dramatic. TBH I rolled my eyes at that sword scene, just didn't feel anything other than a poorly written fan-fiction.

She's snobbish towards mundanes in the books, tv show one isn't. Cassie said in an interview Izzy in the books is a cold-hearted narcissist, tv show isn't. She's confident in her looks in the books, not a **** like the tv show. :shrug: All polar opposites. Although she's a bad cook in the books and we has a little hint of that in the show. I don't have anything against the actress, it isn't her fault they cast her like that, but other than a pretty face she has got nothing.

I feel like she is confident with her looks on the show :shrug: From the way she presents herself and the way she acts.

:nod: I don't think her representation is done badly. The books are mainly from Clary's POV so that's also how we get to see the other characters. Isabelle was always the badass who's not afraid to use her body for what she wants and who would do anything to protect her family. I think that is coming across quite well. The only difference is that she's a lot more supportive from the start towards Clary than in the books because they felt that Clary needed a female "rolemodel" instead of another catfight in television, and I do not mind that at all.

it is a bit dramatic. they can tone it down a bit.

I'm actually looking forward to magnus/alec as well ( i never liked them before ) but i bet the show will ruin them too somehow.

i cant really comment on isabelle because i cant say i paid that much attention to her in the books. she didnt seem to get a lot of development there imo.

:nod: That's true. We never really saw much except for how Clary saw things. They probably didn't want to go with the factor of having the whole cat fight and just have Izzy being more welcoming.

No need to put the whole show down, I don't think comments like that are appropriate. It's okay to discuss them after you have seen them in the episodes, but don't be negative beforehand, please. :)

Agreed with all of this :love:

:high_five:

mel its one aspect of the show. i dont think they are handling their couples right. i wasnt putting down the whole show. but regardless i am free to say what i want :)

You are but at the same time everyone has their own opinion. This thread has been getting quite negative and I want to remind everyone not to bash the characters. Even if you don't like the characters please be mindful of how you word your opinion on them.

thanks for brining that up Ann :D

where did i bash the characters?

i haven't seen anything in the thread thats been crossing the line. its a discussion thread for a reason and people are free to say what they dont like about the show.

You're welcome, Jules :)

I didn't say it was you who bash the characters.

I have seen some parts in this thread where it has been very close to bashing the characters especially the female characters. However, I want to move on from this and I just wanted to post that reminder. We want it to a positive place here and not be negative.

fair enough!

jules! :wave:

I apologise that you found the discussion negative, but as you said opinions are okay and although we all like the show we are allowed negative opinions too. I am thankful you let us know how you feel. However, it doesn't mean the thread is becoming negative :hug: There is a mix of opinions, good and bad. As long as the actors aren't being bashed (characters are perfectly fine to be negative to), which no one has, diversity is fine. :yay:
