Yes, it's really quite good.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Clearly I should, as I haven't heard nearly a bad word said about it on Languish, and I know what a picky bunch of bastards we are.   :D

I really should watch these series, shouldn't I ?  :unsure:
wait ten years, buy the whole series on Blu Ray for cheap.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If you havent read the books it good. If you have read the books you need to turn that part of your brain off and enjoy the show as a stand alone piece.  If you expect it to be faithful to the books you will be disappointed.

But as a standalone production it is really very good.

Ok, thanks for the good advice. :cheers:

Sounds like I should watch the shows first, then stick the books on the must read list.  :cool:

GO either way really, but just evaluate each on their own merits, rather than comparing them.

It is simply impossible for the show to be faithful to the books - the books scope is an order of magnitude greater in size and depth than anything they can handle on a television series.

yeah, there's already a ton of characters in the series, having many more, you'd simply dilute the story too much.  Even in the books, sometimes, it seems to wander aimlessly.

That can only mean more man scraping or other such sexuality not found in the books.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
