I could see the new enjoyers of Pern flat out giving it up when the twist happened. Plus, I wouldn’t trust the show’s makers to not trash the politics of the holds.

That’s the reason most books can’t be adapted exactly as written. Unless the writing is so horribly stilted (X went to Y, X said Z to α, X had β happen to him because of α…) that you wouldn’t want to read it in the first place, you’ll need a large amount of narration and/or characters speaking their thoughts out loud, which doesn’t work most of the time and gets worse if they’re doing it solely for the purpose of the viewer getting into their headspace.
I’m laid up with a severely broken ankle and leg, and will be laid up for God knows how long. I wanna read webcomics, but I feel like I’m running out of good ones on Webtoon. Anyone have any recommendations or sites to look at?

I have had this teapot about 3 months and in this last month it has been in constant use and yesterday these stains appeared, is it rust? Should I throw away the kettle or can it be saved?

What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?
I didn’t read this series when I was a kid, but I finally got around to reading Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber....
Which books have the worst video adaptation?
For me it’s definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.
What are some good (and free) webcomics?

Mother-in-Law bought family tickets to Medieval Times for tonight, but they're on strike and scabs are doing the show...
She bought the tickets without knowing about the strike. We accepted the gift without knowing about the strike....
Are those rust spots? (lemmy.world)
