the mystery of the ring aliens

I'm getting the final book this week.

As I have said (many times!) before - I can't watch this without thinking - 'what could have been'

The books are so superior to the show it's sad.

 

Best part of the TV show was Drummer - a made up character (there is one in the books but totally different and way less significant).

 

I'll watch, and weep quietly in a corner.....

Cara Gee is absolutely superb as Carmina Drummer.

 

Single-handedly carries the show. Which is still very poor compared to the books.

Holden is such a disappointment - the guy just can't act.

 

Why with one last season would you waste precious minutes with re-incarnation on Laconia when Duarte's empire and shipyards haven't even been mentioned - despite already launching a destroyer through the ring (thats what it seemed to imply)

 

Don't make a TV series if you can't tell the whole story that people loved in the books.

 

Thank christ for Drummer....

So that's how you cram the missing 45% of the book series into one final season.

Ignore it completely.

 

Such a shame - now go read the books people, and enjoy it properly.

 

Cara Gee still rocked her role.
