great video but i still think that the show was a cruelty to jim butcher's novels

[cynvision]

I'm waiting for him to cut a movie deal. Then he should stick to his guns on changes.

Loved it Cyn. So many quirky moments! Loved the timing on the crystal spinning and on the magic ant vomit! lol Too many to name here :D Great work :D

[cynvision]

Thank you. I'm thinking of revisiting this one for a re-do. If I can get Premiere to work on my tower. MS Video Maker forced a few things off timing.

i cant believe they cancelled this after the first season o.O them dumb fucks at SciFi, wtf was they thinking!?!? oh and i gotta get me a kick ass hockey stick like Harry's

Even Jim Butcher said the show's version of Bob works better. I can link you to his very forum statement about this. You're not obligated to prefer all aspects of the books out of what you THINK is loyalty to Jim Butcher. Not only is a talking skull puppet or CGI hard to deal with on TV or film but also the contradiction of Bob's nature as a 'PC with no real personality' has too many contradictions that the TV audience actually would have noticed.

I love the part where "It's magick" comes in when the words are written in the air. That, with the looks on their faces......gives a whole new wonderful spin on the moment.

Grab the audio from this clip at searchripgrab doht cohm.

books are better!!!!!!!! i hate how they have so many changes on the tv. some compensation. doesnt even make sense except that they arent willing to stretch their patience and do what the book has. book's plot is better :)

[TheBratKingJareth]

@bakaichigo Well, there is the scene in Rules of Engagement when he asks if he could watch.

[bakaichigo]

@TheBratKingJareth Honestly, I agree. I know a few people who were upset with the changes made to Bob's character, but in terms of functional characters in a TV show, Mann's performance of Bob works much better, both visually and as a plot device. The Skull just wouldn't have been enough. One of the changes I liked from the books to the TV series, though I did miss bob's lasciviousness and romance book addiction... :D

[bakaichigo]

@furtergirl2 Doesn't really take away from it, but it would have been nice to see him with a proper staff and blasting rod.

[bakaichigo]

@mikanac As a fan of the books, I agree, as a fan who originally started with the show, I disagree. The show was way off on alot of key points (Hockey stick?! WTF?! And WHERE is the blue beetle and his canvas/leather duster?!) But as a stand-alone series, it was actually really well done. I was sad to see it go off the air... I wish it could have been a little more accurate to canon, because some of what they cut out would have been awesome, but otherwise it was a really good show. :)

[furtergirl2]

@ilovemonkeysandtacos He's got that instead of the staff. *shrugs* Small differences but I don't think it took away from the show. ;)

[ilovemonkeysandtacos]

why the hell does he have a hockey stick????

[FunFlirtyFlute]

I'm so glad that even though the show is slightly different from the books, they are still basically similar; they have the same personality. It's great to find a show where you can love the show AND the books without having to reconcile one or the other
