Maybe they'll finish it in 30 years when the actors have aged appropriately. ;)

It's a shame they killed off Alex in the show because the actor turned out to be a sex pest. Amos is up there as one of my favourite charachters in fiction, and Wes Chatham absolutely nailed it. Thomas Jane as Miller was also brilliant.

I devoured both the TV and the books (not including Leviathan Falls, which hadn't released yet) during Covid lockdown in 2020, and loved them both. It might be time to reread them.

I had the same feeling when I was reading the Harry Potter books. Mind you, I only read the first three before tiring of them.

Readers of this thread might enjoy Dominic Noble's Lost in Adaptation series.

The movie of 'A Scanner Darkly' is the only time anyone did a faithful adaptation of a Phillip K. Dick novel, I reckon. Blade Runner is too different from the novel to even count as an adaptation, really.

I also prefer the film of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen over the book, and Steve Coogan's 'adaptation' of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy didn't even bother to try, and was more about trying to make an unadaptable novel into a movie. I recommend it. (I never did finish the book, but I do remember there being a curse that went on for a full page that was amazing.)

Going Postal was a pretty good adaptation, I thought. As was Hogfather. But no film adaptation could ever capture Prattchett's prose.

The Colour of Magic was ok, but sorely miscast both Rincewind and Twoflower, as much as I love David Jason and Sean Astin, they were wrong. Tim Curry almost made up for itthough.

We don't talk about The Watch.

The Game Society Pimps have played a couple of them and made them pretty hilarious. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnMlh8dHsRY9E2yZEwqIk1RxF7bPNH8t_

Good for you. Have a cookie.

Suit yourself. Stay repressed, bro.

Regardless of what you call it, making the production of weapons an 'industry' is psychotic.

Deport Barron!
