muyongshi Posted September 25, 2007 at 11:54 PM Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 at 11:54 PM What it's saying is that the current generation will never be able to compare with the last generation. The way the last generation did it, there make-up and such (I'm paraphrasing) has gone and will not come back. It's kind of like saying it can never be as good as the original. Hope that makes sense!
