you heard true. It is entirely a way of Neil honouring STP (including season 2 which Neil had the only surviving notes for the sequel book)
I was going to ask about that... I thought there was only one book!!! (I wasn't aware there were any notes for a second!)
Interesting times indeed!!
they were sort of ultra top triple elite secret for a long time, and the condition on them being used was basically if the bbc series worked...
Now that I think about it: One of the sillier complaints in the Amazon reviews (although I was not in the slightest surprised that some twits who'd completely failed to understand it would whine about it) was that Aziraphael was "too gay".You took the words right out of my mouth there
I mean, seriously???
One of my favorite metaphors of absolutely all time was when he's described in the book as "gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxides." Not only did it make me spew my drink laughing, it was also a perfect example, to me at least, of how you can be hilariously funny while not being offensive or insulting in the least. I might be wrong on that and, if I am, I apologize. But my point is, it was perfectly true to the book. Not to mention that his character wouldn't have worked at all if he hadn't been written/acted exactly like that.
most people who watch something, dont care about what a previous version of that thing was. they're just going to judge it on it's own.
Fair enough. They must have hated the book as well, then. Thing is, some of those clowns claimed that it wasn't true to the original and only some sort of BBC conspiracy, blah, blah, bleh.
it was a Neil and Terry conspiracy that was being worked on even before STP sadly passed away
they didn't read the book.
the vast majority of people who watch tv or movies do not read the books any of those things may be based on prior to watching it.
Comes down to teaching your children about boundaries. How do you do that without actually having a boundary your kids can actually decide of their own free will to cross. If you put them in a padded room until they grow up (apart from you getting arrested) they will never know that fire can burn. Once they did, they learned another valuable lesson - consequences!I get a feeling we're talking shop now, which, although I can do so endlessly (much to the chagrin of anybody around me) is entirely too serious so...
Can anybody explain to me why G-d made a perfect Eden, telling Adam and Eve they could have anything there, only they could't touch THAT particular tree and then expect them to not immediately go for it? I mean, He does know us humans better than anybody, right?
Edit: I'm a Christian. I just always wondered about this
Didn't know this existed! Will ferret this one out for sure... And Natalie Dormer as Door - perfect! (Possibly one of the loveliest ladies to grace the planet in my books...)
also comes down to the story is fiction written by someone with an imagination that had to deal with not knowing how anything in the real world actually worked with a population that is a fraction of today's so nobody was there to tell them their story sucked.
That's very true, but it leaves the fun out of it, which is terribly off topic
Doesn't mean you're wrong, though
That's just the Void speaking. You must be terribly much fun at parties
if we are going down the archeology and anthropology of religion route, I could (and have done) write sizeable essaysThat's very true, but it leaves the fun out of it, which is terribly off topic

not sure what kind of weird parties revolve around bible study that you goto... but it oddly never comes up for me.
Ah - but the fun is imagining that first conversation between the two of them after getting chucked out of Eden...That's very true, but it leaves the fun out of it, which is terribly off topic
