Ok, so I just watched the first episode of a new series. Guess which?

It features a woman cop, who during her most recent murder case finds evidence tying in with her mother's murder a decade earlier and a mysterious inhuman figure who saved her life at the same time. Following the evidence, she meets a man, a doctor who joined the military and was part of a form of super soldier program, which turned out to have a minor side-effect: when his adrenaline starts pumping, he changes physically, turning into a raging monster. Now, he is pretending to be dead, while working on an antidote for himself and doing good, oh, and hiding from the secret government conspiracy looking for him.

So yeah, I'm still pretty much convinced the scriptwriters were developing a series based on the Hulk and did little more than change the names to suit the show they were supposed to be remaking...

Yep, it's B&tB - though so far, the only similarities with the original show is in the names of the main couple. Vincent's nature and current surroundings, Catherine's career - all different. No World Below, no lion-man, no lots of things.

I'm actually quite serious about suspecting the scriptwriters of having wanted to make a Hulk series and adapted the script for that for this. Not that I think I'd have particularly liked a CW Hulk series, but, well...

And now I find myself in danger of getting nostalgic about the old series. Next thing you know, I'll be hunting down episodes...
