Also did not read book (since I uh, like, don't do that...) and if it's well done with a True Detective S1 vibe, then I'm in.
Yes we know how the book ends but don’t know if the show will stay true to it. Everyone has been good about spoilers.
Agreed. I am not a fan of the weird camera angles and out of focus shots. I am also not feeling this version of Holly vs the version in the book. Maybe she will grow on me...
She was annoying me too. She was not nearly as particular in the book, like I don’t even understand the need to have her recite days of the week and baseball stats. Why make her more cartoonish when the character was pretty grounded?
Heather Graham makes up for that.
This comment is basically what I came into this thread to make. The changes are just unnecessary, I don’t really see why it was done. Other areas where they stayed a bit from the book are fine, but they’ve turned Holly into a caricature.
I havent read the books but can you put in spoilers the difference between the two that you guys are referring to? thanksbigmarc27 said:
I think big bottom pretty much nailed it. They just amped up her peculiarities to an 11.
I think the cars are driving up to two different sides of the barn in the two scenes (back side in the first and front side facing the road in the second). The appearance of the barn (window shape, coloring, doors) is very different in each scene. Could be a technical error as they used two different barns in production, but I think it may be opposite sides of the barn, one of which has a gravel road and one that doesn't.
Actually, now that you pointed it out, I believe even more its a different time. Look at the amount of trees in the 1st video and how close they are to the barn.
Casting Alexander Skarsgard as Randall Flagg is an interesting decision. I like him as an actor and he certainly has the malevolence down. But he's also way too pretty for the role. I presume they'll be roughing up his appearance quite a bit.
It wasn’t a complaint. A couple folks were positing a theory that the differences suggested multiple time lines. And I responded that that wasn’t likely the case.
No its just called discussion. lol
Maybe some of us just catch on to things while you dont?
This is why some detectives are better then others. Why the characters in the show went with Holly instead of some other one....good detectives see things, other ignore them.
That was my initial opinion and still is. We saw in the previews for next episodes that Ralph asks Jack about what happened in the barn, so to the critics of this discussion, its relevant... Its where Jack got infected. Its where we see the flashing of the body in the door and the first sight that someone saw him before any other. They made a point to show a cemetery off to the side and also found it important to have the clothes be found there. The barn is of big importance to the script so far.
