Bummer. I considered trying it as I do like some of the actors in it.

I I think I do sort-of see what he's saying. I believe I took it "Don't Look Back in Anger" was about like the end of a relationship or a band or something and "her" (the her of the song) saying not to blame anyone for how it ended or how life changed but maybe more think of the good times. Not so much "My friend was…

Sorry, I can get a little overheated.

The people celebrate his sticking it to America. And then they die before they can complain about it being unwise?

That's a deep cut.

Nagasaki makes me sadder because it's such a historically interesting city and sometimes you'd liked to hope nuking one city was enough/

I'm not sure if he has enough to destroy us or has it controlled well enough to do that.

Maybe they could just call it "Lilith's Brood." Or perhaps "Aurora" as that means Dawn.

Kindred is one I've read and I think would be pretty adaptable. Although their might be a bit of "slavery fatigue" and the 1979 "now" might be a tad alien to many of us. Yet to switch it to the actual now would change it in some ways I think, maybe too much. (Her interracial relationship I don't think it would get as…

I haven't read it, but sweet. It's nice to see her get an adaptation.

I did not know how much you'd been spoiled. I guess what I said does give a slight hint of what's to come, and maybe makes the ending for his character make a little bit more sense to me even, about loving New York vs his tendency to be more "look-down-on what is not New York." (He ends in a somewhat more serene place…

"Amy fixes the error, regains her distance and leaves Cicely."
