Who’s really speaking?

Great podcast to explain without giving a lot away. Also, is David S Goyer, really George Clooney?

Great podcast, can’t wait for more!

It has been a few years since I read the books, and when I watched the TV series it did make we wonder how I could have missed some of the important detail. After listening to the podcast, I learned about the problems associated with rewriting a story to make it work as a TV series. The TV series shows, in a spectaular way, the tremendous work the tv series writers/adapters had to undertake in order to make this complex story come to life. While the book describes many unique places and events they need to be fully thought out or re thought in order to make a visually compelling tv series. How do you show the life of a series of clones over centuries without confusing the audience? In a book that is the easy part, in a TV show it isn’t easy, because as viewers we naturally tend to think on one actor being the same character throughout a story. The writers pull it off so efficiently, so completely, that their additions to this great story bring it to a whole new level. I cannot wait for season two!
