A couple of things:
The scripts were interesting but from what I remember of them I don't think Dane had escaped from Harmony House by the end of what Grant had written had he? And that was episode three.
The end of episode two was Dane escaping from Harmony House, so the first two episodes are essentially the first issue of the series. So, it's not that slow paced. I think that's a decent pace, but it would probably be best to show the first and second episodes back to back, since the first episode doesn't really resolve anything, and is a bit confusing. As opposed to the comic, which had a very satisfying ending for the first issue.
One thing that disappointed me about the script was the neglect to mention Bobby getting shot by King Mob. I would think Morrison would at least make some note, so they would be able to bring back the same actor later for the presumed "Best Man Fall" episode.
And I agree with Cass that following the character paths in a linear order is really essential. After reading the first issue, and seeing King Mob kill those guards, I was just like Dane, thinking how cool it was. And then, by the end of the series, I realized that it was just futile violence. To take away the evolution of the viewer by altering the character evolution would take away a lot of the work's impact on the viewer. That said, rereading, the linearity isn't as essential, because you've learned how to view the world/work from a 4-D perspective. |
