Just a simple discussion thread that came to my mind when I just finished reading Mind of My Mind the second book in Patternist series by Octavia Butler.
I’m currently reading the third book in the series and would really like to see it portrayed on TV though I believe it would be difficult getting actors for Doro. If a series would be made I would hope they would take leverage to differentiate from the book every once in a while like with The Walking Dead.
I wouldn’t mind another season of Legend of the Seeker. Only read the first book and a half but the show was a fun watch even if the serial format drastically changed the narrative.
Guardians of the Flame series. It would make for pretty interesting TV since the plots is about D&D kids thrown into serious business. Good books.
Aside from that, there are more comic books I’d like to see turn into TV series than movies; don’t think I’ve read many books with sequels other than Love Potion and Tracks.
I want A Song of Ice and Fire (game of thrones) redone as an anime series. Live action adaptation just isn’t doing justice to some of the fight scenes. Basically I’m bitter that the little girl actress for Arya isn’t badass enough.
Micheal Hearn’s Iron Druid Series. And The Dresden Files…done right, this time. Some guy who looks like the doctor from Start Trek Voyager is better off being Waldo Butters, not Harry Dresden.
Where are they gonna find somebody to portray a tough-talking half-irish kid from da Bronx…who is a total wuss, despite living in a rough hood and having an abusive drunk dad? Wheeler should have been the baddest fucker of the group, learning how to fight from getting into fistfights with local thugs on the street and his old man at home.
I would like to see Lord of the Rings remade into a show where the hobbits are all little girls (they’re well into their adult years, but have the appearance of children) and must journey across a Japan shaped middle earth in order to vanquish the evil in Moldol. Freida Bagginsu must make use of an ancient ring that allows her to transform into a powerful and voluptuous moon warrior.
I would also like to see CSI: Dune. There would be a really hard Freman bad cop and a cool and sexy reverend mother good cop.
“This tribe of fremen says the murder victim tried to steal from them, so they beat him and made him walk out into the vast, unending sands of arrakis.”
“I guess you could say… zips up stillsuit
He got his just deserts”
Arya isn’t supposed to be badass, her fans like to think her that way though. She’s really just an angry brat with a chip on her shoulders who desperately wants to be badass. And if the art in those ASoIaF comics are an indication of anything, I’ll just hope an animated series never happens.
Personally I’d like to see a mini series done on Stephen King’s It, one which follows closely with the book. The movie version hasn’t aged well imo, not to mention it being nothing like the novel in many parts and of course omitting plenty of things.
Aside from that, as someone mentioned here earlier, 50 shades of grey definitely needs to be a tv series. Each episode can focus on one sexual encounter along with cliff hangers at the end of each episode. Is this really the orgasm of her life, will she survive what appears to be the coming of a climax that may well shatter her body, will her lover’s impressive length split her in two or will her inner goddess prevail? Find out on the next week’s episode! “Oh my gosh!!!”
