 I feel loved. :) I can't promise I will visit this site very often though (unless a new season or spin-off gets announced), though I have never outgrown my love for this series, I am now way outside of their target demographic.

 Nina was indeed way too obvious and over-all I didn't like the International version of Nina as much as I liked Nienke. Nienke started out like a small and shy girl who grew more confident and became somewhat of a leader over the different seasons. Also if Nienke would have said "so you said, ten times" to Patricia she would have been hit in the face probably. Also Amber was wayyy meaner to Nienke in the beginning of seasons one.

Also I am glad you managed to make sense of my ramblings. ;)

Yeah, like I said above Nina is quite different in the International version. I think the confident main character works better with an International audience, though it was much easier to relate to Nienke/Nina in Dutch/German versions.

Like I said at least Joy's disappearance made more sense in this versions of the story, it was quite messy in the original and one of the few shortcomings the series had.

The whole descendant story was obviously also not taken from the original.

Well they thought Joy was the Chosen One, but Nina is in HoA actually part of the blood line of Amneris. If Joy would have actually been The Chosen One that would true though. Fun fact: Noa also knew about her identity and used her influence to free Jeroen's (Jerome's) father. Her real name was Fasia, she was the only survivor of an accident in which the ship that her family was on sunk. She was adopted by an oil Sheik, but always had a love for traveling, which eventually brought her to Anubis House. A place she claimed to be "drawn" to.

Having everyone be a part of the mystery is also a improvement over the original. In the original we had characters like Joyce, Robby and Mick who were doing their own things, un-related to the mystery.
