Quote: Rose2010 @ September 15 2012, 3:22 PM BSTMay to December never really worked for me but I later realized that it's because I had only seen the post-change episodes. When I happened to see the earlier episodes, I believed the chemistry and the characters.
I really need to watch through the entire series properly, but I've never liked that change. The second Zoe, to me, both and looked and seemed far too 'normal' and far too close to a stereotypical notion of attractiveness. The original, slightly quirkier Zoe was pretty in a way that I could understand Alec's attraction to her and equally 'buy' that she hadn't already fallen in love with one of a trail of handsome young men chasing her.
