Gaia is 23 in the t.v. series, I thought she was 21, but they've said her offical age is 23, so this is a long way down the road of her life, there is a spin off series of Fearless, the title hasn't been released yet, but I'm guessing it is going to be more of what Francine has already introduced lately.

Some of Francine Pascal's books are good. I read a whole series of Sweet Valley High, then some of the books of Sweet Valley University.

Yeah Sweet Valley, is nothing compared to how well she's written the Fearless series, the last few books have been a little dissapointing but altogether it's an AWESOME series, I recommend it to you. -Shimmy.

I have the Fearless series pilot & it sucks... BAD! I should have the new book in a few days... I'll post about it after I've read it (obviously).
>>By davesmsperfect (Wednesday, 5 May 2004 04:40)
the sweet valley series were pretty good too, but the fearless were written after she learned how to write so ppl liked it even more. i still think that she should make another series of fearless after she finishes 37... so basically in the tv series it's gonna be totally different? shucks! that means (prolly) no ed, or jake, or sam!!! =(
>>By Cookie8Monster (Wednesday, 5 May 2004 07:03)
I don't believe the tv series is going to come out. You can't compare Sweet Valley with Fearless case they are totally different. Besides the fact Sweet Valley books to this day are more popular than Fearless.
>>By davesmsperfect (Thursday, 6 May 2004 19:44)
First of all, I don't think anyone was comparing Sweet Valley High to Fearless in ANY way, were just saying Fearless is better than it, Fearless has sold over 2.7 million first copies, within the 5 years now, and sold 500,000 within the first year. That was more than Sweet Valley High sold. And for your information, Fearless is actually more popular than Sweet Valley High, sorry. Sweet Valley High was popular in their day, but Fearless will become a lot more appealling and will grow faster than SVH did. Why would Francine be writing a spin off series of the book? Once I get my Web Site up and runnig I'll let you see my fearless page it has a BUNCH of info not easy to find by the public. By the way the show IS comming out. They've already filmed the first 10 episodes, and made a contract with the W.B. for the 1st season, depending on how well it does, will decide wether a 2nd season will be added. Also I hope you read my statement before, the reason it's been post-poned is because they haven't yet found an editor for the series. And I don't think the pilot sounds all that bad. I mean yeah it's nothing like the book, but if it was, anyone that's read the books would bash it more because books are always better than movies or t.v. series. Also having Rachael Leigh Cook (She's All That, Josie and the Pussycats) it's bound to be liked by the W.B. veiwers. Besides a 23 year old Gaia, that kicks ass for the FBI sounds awesome, I'm not digging the CIA anyways, they do to many out-of-country missions. FBI is more located in America. I think you should wait to judge it until you see the pilot.
>>By Shimmerchiq (Monday, 10 May 2004 01:59)
I own the pilot & therefore can say from watching it that it sucks.
>>By davesmsperfect (Monday, 10 May 2004 03:47)
we all have our different opinion on that thing.
>>By darkchild2 (Monday, 10 May 2004 07:53)
I highly doubt you have the pilot copy, since you know it hasn't been released anywhere, and unless your working for the W.B. there is no way you've seen the entire pilot show, which is an hour long, and besides if you were on the W.B. you wouldn't be bashing it, you'd be promoting it. And yes darkchlid2 I agree we all have our different opinions and are entilted to them, but don't give it if you don't have facts to back it up. -Shimmy
>>By Shimmerchiq (Tuesday, 11 May 2004 18:55)
Shimmy- u said Rachel Lee Cook is alright for the part of Gaia, but how can she b when she has brown hair and looks more like a heather! i reckon that if they were gonna du a movie on it, Gaia shud b played bi one of the models from the covers (i like the one frm bk 18) They all suit the part since its how u are forced to imagine her! it wud b cul if they made a movie, but only if all the characters fit their descriptions perfectly.
>>By kestrel$ (Saturday, 15 May 2004 17:00)
i think the tv series will suck though, u say that its Gaia when she's 23 but how cum neither Ed, Tom Oliver or any familer character are talked about? Even if it were 5 years l8er, they wud still be in her life
>>By kestrel$ (Saturday, 15 May 2004 17:02)
Also, i read bk 33 and its MUCH better than bk 32. Its still annoying, but the plot got far more promising near the end.
>>By kestrel$ (Saturday, 15 May 2004 17:09)
Hey. New here. i've been reading Pascal books since forever, but i just stumbled on this place. About the whole comparsion discussion? i agree with dave. you simply cannot compare two things that are mostly unrelated. You say chives, i say cheese. everybody has their own unique style and taste. Theres a tv series based on fearless? First i've hear of it. although, kestrel, youre right - we as readers have been forced to veiw gaia in a paticular light and to bring someone else that looks different would simply be stupididty.
>>By Overlyobsessed (Sunday, 16 May 2004 13:33)
where did this whole comparison thing come from anyways???? they are two totally different series written by the same author, just one after the other. yes SVH was popular back then, but now it's fearless either way FP is a great author. about rachel as the actress... it wouldnt be so bad if she dyed her hair (which im not sure but i think i saw her on tv talkin talkin about fearless once and she had dyed it blonde for the series) also everyone is talkin only bout gaia, who r the other characters in the tv series?? anyone from her past life (the books)???
>>By Cookie8Monster (Sunday, 16 May 2004 21:42)
thats the whole point! im the movie, theres NO ONE that we heard of b4 apart from her, and it looks like theres no mention of them either! she has a bedt friend caleed harmony or something (already taht doesnt sound like Gaia) and there tryin to track down this evil guy ive never heard of! Its pointless! and even if rachel cook did dye her hair blonde, she could never b Gaia. She'll still look like one of the FOH's, shes to perfect to ever come close to Gaia!
>>By kestrel$ (Wednesday, 19 May 2004 20:41)
that's so freakin stupid!!!! HARMONY??? jeez!!! y dont they name her barbie while they're at it??? and no mention of ANYONE? what did everyone like die all of a sudden or did gaia realize that she really did like bein a loner and/or one of the FOH's???
>>By Cookie8Monster (Thursday, 20 May 2004 01:40)
Whats wrong with 'Harmony'? ok, ok, i know there's no way gaia would be seen dead with a girl with a sappy name like harmony, but still, as far as names go, harmony is quite nice. Besides, you never know. they say opposites attract.
>>By Overlyobsessed (Thursday, 20 May 2004 03:49)
The book and the t.v. series, aren't meant to be the same, that's all I have to say. Does it make sense? No, I don't think so, but really theres also nothing you can do to change it you know? I agree with having one of the models play Gaia because your pretty much forced to imagine her looking like that because it's on the covers of the books, but you know oh well, I think it's gonna be good anyways. -Shimmy.
>>By Shimmerchiq (Friday, 21 May 2004 00:53)
why cant the tv series b like the books! theres no reason why not and the books are certainly popular enough. Its just what is the point of using a character from a book and putting her in a completely different story when they cud just use the same story!!!!! it just doesnt make any sense! also, i agree that harmony is a nice name, its just too FOHy to fit in with Gaia. And sure, opposites du attract sometimes, but in the beginning i dont think Gaia and Heather attracted very well! lol ps du u know if the series iz cumin out in England. Id be interested in seeing it so i can c 4 myself how stupid it is (that iz if it is stupid 4 u guys who hav hopes 4 it)
>>By kestrel$ (Friday, 21 May 2004 19:37)
Sure heather and gaia didn'y attract at first: if somebody spilt hot cofee all over my new shirt i'd be pretty pissed of too. Although thats probably because i basicaly never have money and i rarely buy myself new stuff. i did'nt read the books where they became freinds though. i fouynd out when i read book 25. how did H becom blind? Oh, and i've just finished reading Bfore gaia. My only reaction was shock. Loki is gaia Father? ugh!!!!!!!!!!!
>>By Overlyobsessed (Saturday, 22 May 2004 07:41)
heather got blind becuase she was injected with the fear gene.
>>By darkchild2 (Saturday, 22 May 2004 07:59)
NO! Loki isn't Gaias father lol. In book 24 u find out 4 sure, because thats when Loki goes into a coma. just b4 he does, Tom is kind to him becuase he's so vunerable and when Loki asks for one last talk with his daughter, Tom tells him that he has been sterile since he had an operation when he was a kid, so he cant b anyones father. a bit harsh, but necessary
>>By kestrel$ (Saturday, 22 May 2004 12:55)
heather got blind bcuz she was injected with the fearless gene, gaia became stupid b/c she was injected with the fear gene yeah harmony is a nice name, but gaia cant b friends with the FOHs or anyone like a FOH cuz well, it's gaia
>>By Cookie8Monster (Saturday, 22 May 2004 23:58)
Oh thank god - i was sure as hell freaked out about the whole loki thing. H was injected with the fear gene? Which book is that exactly?
>>By Overlyobsessed (Tuesday, 25 May 2004 05:46)
yup it's pretty cool cuz now she and gaia are sorta (SORTA) gettin along, i think it was in like 25 or something... help ppl...
>>By Cookie8Monster (Tuesday, 25 May 2004 06:08)
Heather and Gaia are actually friends now, but you'll find out why, or wait I'll tell you, they never see eachother anymore. This new book see came out with was ok, it didn't go near as far in the story as I wish it would have, I miss the kicking of butt man, Gaia really needs to get over this fear thing.
>>By Shimmerchiq (Wednesday, 26 May 2004 21:52)
yep, i totally agree! lol, and Heather goes Blind in bk 24, so close enough lol
>>By kestrel$ (Wednesday, 26 May 2004 22:09)
lol thnx she definitely needs to get over the fear thing, it's getting super annoying and boring everything is goin too goody goody lately...
