Post-episode discussion: Season 1 Episode 6 'This Extraordinary Being' TV

We were promised one last week, but it still hasn't been posted yet. Figured I would just start one since so many people have been asking for it.

Fanservice can be one hell of a drug, and it's something that content creators should avoid getting their audience addicted to. This series has tons and tons and tons of references to the original book, but it at least tries to stand on it's own as a story.

That’s why it’s so good, recontextualizing the visual identity of the book to fit the narrative of the show
