Well, I guess some people don't understand that some links shouldn't be posted
in public. Perhaps I won't post stuff like this to my mailing list if people
won't respect that.
I have addressed the issue with posting to a mailing list, and I was told that
email is NOT considered a public medium, so posting by email (not including
SPAM) is not considered releasing it to the public. On my mailing list the
archive is only accessible to members of the list, so no person can get the
messages unless they are members. I hope it won't cause any trouble.
I had this URL for a while and I felt it was unfair of me to 'not share it'
with people on my mailing list. That was a couple of weeks ago. I guess Nebo
'forgot' that I said it shouldn't be posted in public unless they get permission.
In regard to what he is saying, I think the new show 'reeks' of male influence
and is not at all like the original. It is obvious by the references to the
King, the male villian, and the now techno-saavy Neri. If you look at the
'doe-eyed' Neri, you don't see any of 'old-Neri' and you shouldn't expect it.
Jonathan Shiff gave the people at Media World a 'free hand' to make something
that wasn't 'exactly' like the series, and it looks like they have taken full
advantage of that.
What will be interesting is seeing how Marzena fits into this 'new' Neri when
doing the voice-overs.
From what I can see, the only thing that is the same from the old series,
is the name Neri and the title 'Ocean Girl'. Everything else is different.
