Wonderful book. I hope it's done justice.

The first 2 parts should be pretty straightforward, it's the third night I'm concerned about, trying to convey what's happening...they could really botch it.

Given it's the scifi channel i have no doubt they're going to drop the ball on this.

They knocked "DUNE" out of the park. But, yah - this will probably suck.

That's about where I come out on it. I pretty much assume anything SyFy will be garbage nowadays.

They knocked Dune out of the park fifteen years ago. The Sci-Fi channel of 2000 is not the SyFy channel of 2015, and hasn't been for a very, very long time.

One of my all-time favorite books so I will stay optimistic. No date yet that I can see other than 2015.

This thing is going to make Sharknado look like Citizen Kane.

Good Gawd, Man! Has it been 15 years?
Time flies when you're old...

The only thing I remember from the book:

Spoiler

Was what the alien looked like when they finally were able to see him.

 

[dascoyne]

Oh I wish this could have been a Netflix production.

 

[Probe Droid]

This starts tonight, boys. Don't forget!

And fingers crossed that it's decent.

 

[0neiros]

Well so far so good. The reveal was incredibly well done.

 

[dkaniel]

Maybe someone at Syfy is finally getting the idea that good science fiction is what they need to do more of...but time will tell

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

I agree. Entertaining adaptation so far. Enjoyed it very much.

 

[Metaluna mutant]

It's one of my favorite books so I'm really looking forward to it, regardless of the syfy adaptation reputation. However, I'm going to wait til all 3 parts are available to watch it all at once.

 

[Jedi2016]

This is a simple one to judge, so I'll let you guys be the guinea pigs and I'll just ask this: Did they get it right? This one has a couple things that they really have to nail in order to classify as "right" in my book. Clarke's one of my favorite authors, and I won't take kindly if they screw it up.

I remember almost nothing from the book, I could have sworn there was a team working on getting a look at the aliens, not that they revealed themselves.
