    I hope.

    Going back to the well... hasn't gone well.

    I think for me it's more that I don't need any more to the story. It's ideal the way it ends.

      That's no guarantee for success. The majority of video game adaptations have failed.

        No one is denying that. But, it does mean the story is already done and they're not going to try to pull a Game Of Thrones. I agree with Kepler, they could have just ended it there. But, they didn't. Just like Dune could have ended with the first book. It didn't. The only one that seemed to get better with more and more is Tolkien. Everybody else needed to know when to quit.

          Fellowship is the best book, to me, but all are good.

          The Holmes, Poirot, Marlowe, and Maigret stories get better as the books go on.

          TV as a medium worries me more than books because enstupefication is so profitable. If you have a great book series and you make it dumb you will lose far more readers than you will gain, because readers are so much more selective. If you enstupify your TV or movies, the base of the pyramid just gets wider and wider as you debase yourself.

          The other problem isn't the Great Unwashed at all, it's the limits of an author. It's the Boston problem. Their first album was the blood and sweat of 7 years of working and thinking and creating. It's brilliant. Their second album was 2 years most of which was heavy touring with their first album's material, and it's crap. Quality takes time. "I'm sorry this letter is so long, had I had more time I would have shortened it."

          If the authors of TLOU are working off another solid game, and those who loved the first love the second, then that is a good sign. They earned our trust.

          BTW, TIL there is a sequel book "After Worlds Collide." I need to find that.

            Well, not everyone did. But for the same reasons they didn’t like episode 3.

              Yeah, TLOU Part 2 was not a universal success in the sense that the neckbeard audience didn't like it.

              Which means of course it's really good.

                The only thing that really didn't exist AFAIK was the part with Ellie's Mother (played by Ashley Johnson aka video game Ellie). But, according to the creator, he had already written that part for a potential DLC or graphic novel and they just never did anything with it until now.

                  Realizing that SNL is always hit or miss, the Waffle House skit last week was pure comedy gold.

                        I am sadly bored by Mandalorian S3. Maybe it's me.

                        Shrinking with Jason Segel and Harrison Ford has been quite good though.

                          S2 was lame, and the ending was downright bad. I gave up then. S1 was still good, albeit spotty.

                              Looks like renewal contracts went out for the broadcasting companies. YoutubeTV is going up to 73/mo from 65. And that's after dropping MLB Network in February.
