I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who missed the old Daisy. It's funny; during the show, when they first introduced her, I hated her. But then she grew and developed and I fell in love with her - her facade - her weakness - just, her. I was horrified that the movie did away with all that and completely miscast this womanbeast. There's a certain charm in Daisy's frailty and this brute was nothing but the narcissistic facade. Bleah.
I don't really think they should have made the movie. :(

Absolutely. Same here with the laughing at bad jokes and getting sappy at the manipulative moments, only in retrospect realizing (and finally accepting, too) how flat the whole thing was.
And yeah, old Daisy. I really couldn't stand her either at first, but she started revealing layers to her character. She tried to maintain this level of narcissism, self-assurance and diva-ness, but you began to see that it was really a cover for her fragility, and she truly had a big heart. Plus, Laura Harris was gorgeous and did such a great job with the character. I loved the relationship between her and Mason, too, which was given a halfhearted, fleeting mention in the film in that theatre scene.
Oh well. I heard that the sales from this DVD are supposed to induce a revival of the series, but if it's going to be like this, what's the point?
