    Re: the Tuner Minute…

    If there’s a television adaptation of a show, I expect that there’s going to be some relationship to the original source material, but that there will be some significant diversion. That said, most of the ongoing series are diverting more than significantly, and that ends up bothering me (specifically 666 Park Avenue being NOTHING like the original books other than a few names and the Dexter series nearly straight up inverting some of the character development).

    It’s not the plot changes, for the most part, that gets frustrating, it’s feeling like the characters are being mischaracterized or dumbed down to make a season for a TV show work. For example, in the Dexter book series there are two or three characters who “catch” Dexter as a killer without having their own “Dark Passengers,” but in the television series he has become so careless that every season has Dexter being found out due to recklessness (so… 7 people at least, now, even though most of them are dead by this point). And TV Dexter himself is becoming colder and less caring about others, including his son, while in the books he feels more human while still thinking of himself more as a monster.

    Anyway, I didn’t mean for this to become quite so rambly, but it’s a frustration of mine.
