My husband knows I've read these books multiple times and that I've looked forward to a screen version for years. He asks how the plot compares to the book. He occasionally asks a question and if there's no spoiler, I fill in some gaps. So when he asked, "Is it just me, or was this episode really slow without any story?"
"Honey, I got nothing. I don't even know what story we were watching because it sure wasn't Silo."
Who is this guy and what did they do with Marnes? What a Grade A jerk they've turned him into! You can be sure it's part of the "character development" to bring him on side, but if they halfway follow the story, it soon won't matter.
From the way Sandy and Jules interact, it's clear the writers aren't content to let conflict flow naturally - and realistically - as it does in the original. In the book, you sympathize with both women. In the series, you don't care for either of them and certainly wouldn't invite either over to dinner. One big cat fight is sure to ensue. RrrrrrrOOWWW!
And what's with Sims? And why are they so buddy buddy? Judicial hardly gets a mention, but now they're obviously supposed to be the Bad Guys, especially since Sims seems to have been shifted out of IT to Judicial for the screen version. Who is this Judge Meadows we had to make up because the REALLY bad guy we already KNOW to be a bad guy isn't nearly bad enough?
If your plan is to come back and binge this series later, you can safely skip this one and you won't miss a thing. And you'll save yourself the question of where the heck the (TOTALLY out of place) beer came from.
