Eric of the books is very different, he has a much more prominent role and he's also very chatty, witty and playful. Impossible to dislike basically. However the one in the TV show is quite different and I like him more to be honest, he suits the tone of the show better than book!eric would. Though both erics are very yummy. Skarsgard though is a gorgeous man and I think that in itself is reason enough for fangirls to get excited over his character. I know he makes ME excited ;)
I'm all for some suspension of disbelief. but I have a limit, and MR BRAIN far and exceeded that limit, personally when a drama just completely tosses away common sense along with any semblance of realistic depiction of science, that's when I'm ready to throw in the towel. and really the characterizations are very paper thin for me so I'm left wondering just why the hell I would watch the show. Really a drama has to grab me, if it doesnt, I dont watch. Shame really, cause I had high hopes for it.
