"Season 1 ending, Barry willingly sacrifices himself to save the Earth by entering a shapeless void"

At the end of this season, who was imprisoned in the Star Labs prison? Hasn't everyone either been sent back to Earth-2 or sent to Iron Heights? Who is still there?

Barry would have never let Jay or Wally go back into the speed force. They both had already been imprisoned there for his deeds. At this point he accepted that it was his fault and that he was going to pay for the consequences. He was at peace with it.

"let's take time to chat a bit, because saying goodbye to Julian is more important than any piddling lives which might be lost in the meantime. Yeesh."

(shakes fist in the air) HICKMAN!!!

Again, agree to disagree. In my opinion, as an adaptation, the film has zero virtues. I've tried watching the movie again years later and each time I'm thinking "The Jack and Wendy in this film are nothing like the Jack and Wendy in the novel."

Did you read the original novella? Almost everyone in that town (except for the protagonist and his few allies) appears to be an asshole.

I never read The Colorado Kid, but I just skimmed its Wikipedia summary. Besides having two newspapermen named Vince and Dave, and a mysterious stranger named "The Colorado Kid", there's virtually nothing in the Haven show that indicates it's based on this novel.

I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say that you saw the movie first and then read the book.

Say what you want about "I Am Legend", but I know someone who said they were enjoying the movie but when Smith's dog was infected and he had to kill her they got up and walked out because they couldn't watch any movie where an animal was killed.

The bleak ending of the movie is mentioned near the end of the novella by the main character as a last resort.

Although this series is based on King's novella, it doesn't seem to have any of the same characters (except for Miss Carmody, who is quickly killed). So by making all new character, it probably made sense to put it in a different town.

The show was good, but even in the first season it was barely an adaptation of King's story. And by season 5 it was unrecognizable of something that King had originally wrote (even though they added "thinnys").

HERE IS SUB-ZERO!
NOW JUST PLAIN ZERO!

The Running Man is barely a King adaptation.

Yes, everyone should read The Shining. But once you read The Shining, you should not watch The Shining unless you like great movies which are terrible adaptations.

The Shining may be a great movie if you haven't read the book first, but it is a terrible adaptation.

The movie ending is in the book, but the main character only discusses it as a possibility if things get worse and there's no way out. The book is left open-ended, and while that may work for a story, it doesn't always work for a movie. That's why Darabont picked up on that bit from King's story and used it as an…

You need to buy new versions of your King novels as they are incomplete. Both The Stand and Dark Tower go on for awhile after (respectively) the bomb goes off and the Crimson King is erased.

In movies like Independence Day, Day After Tomorrow, 2012, etc we may see scenes of children being saved or dogs miraculously leaping to safety to avoid an explosion, but rest assured in the widespread destruction elsewhere in those movies, many children and cute animals were killed.
