Exactly. In the book Hassler is one of a small group of scouts, and spends years getting to Boise and back, and is the only survivor of the extended scouting teams (mostly Pilcher uses drones.) It’s implied that Pilcher uses the scouting missions as a way to dispose of people he finds annoying. The scouts keep…

Hassler was in on the plan, and his story in the miniseries is a remnant of his story in the books, wherfe he arranges for Theresa and Ben to be kidnapped into the town, and for Ethan to be taken out of play permanently (he thinks; Pilcher betrays him, and sets him up on the scouting mission to get rid of him because…
I can understand Lucasfilm being grumpy. She’s obviously wearing underwear in this picture, and as everyone knows (from George Lucas) there is no underwear in space!
You have my utmost sympathy. You might enjoy them, though, as a lot of people seem to have...just no-one I know, and certainly not me (who bought the ebooks on sale.) While the first one is passable, despite the author’s terrible style, the second and third ended up one-starred by me, which is rare. The third book…
Actually, it’s the other way around in the show — Kate isn’t noticing that Ethan and Theresa *haven’t* aged. It’s even more confusing in the books as Theresa has been awake for five years, Kate has been awake for eight, and Ethan has only just been awakened (for the third time.)
The books are a very fast read. Crammed together they don’t even come out to a mid-size novel.
The blood spray across Kate was from her husband. The blood spray from the kid doesn’t touch her.
If I had my way, the summer of 2016 would give us DC’s House Of Mystery.
Birght Man...the superhero we need, at 74% off, shipping free with Prime.
It could be the first of the Marvel movies to thoroughly tank (by coming in well under the income for either The Incredible Hulk or the first Thor), but it won’t, because Marvel’s once again cannily built the buzz, plus they kept the budget down compared to other Marvel films. Sure, it’s unlikely to do Guardians…
All of the Star Wars films were created in post-production, and even George Lucas has said he’s much more an editor than he is a director. Star Wars: A New Hope, though, is probably the most detailed case, simply because of the no-holds-barred behind the scenes books that came out a few years back.
It was an admittedly painful experience. Why I finished them...well, 1) because I’m signed up to Mount TBR and wanted to finish out the trilogy because they were in my backlog; 2) so I could make comparisons to the TV show; 3) because reasons? (I had picked up the ebooks out of curiosity, albeit cheaply.) There’s a…
Not quite true. Alfred in Birds Of Prey had a very comicbook look.
I like what the show’s done with Pam, who started out very, very creepy and has now become a quite sympathetic character, rather than starting as a sociopathic fourteen year old runaway and ending up as a generic psycho. I’m also glad that they’ve essentially ditched large parts of the second book (and hopefully the…
This. I love this show for its misanthropy and willingness to be mean to the pretty CWers, but the whole radiation malarkey in season 2 caused dangerous eye-rolling...and that was from a guy willing to accept that anyone could survive the Arkfall, and that people born in space could even manage on Earth without…
Must be jelly, jam don’t come in green like that!
I seem to have lost my ability to give a shit at this point. Sad for me, I suppose.
