Thinking about how Good Omens tv show was presented as like... gift to Terry Pratchett. Sort of love letter to his work...Thanks for the colab....a fulfilled promise..."What Terry would have wanted." etc.
And then when I watched even just the first season and few episodes of the second... I felt like it was just too much Neil Gaiman. You know? With way too many scenes n ideas that I am damn sure were thought up/written by Pratchett missing... and with way too many scenes that I thought were Gaimans work there and amplified... Leaving the whole vibe so off, that I left the show be, even before all the things about Gaiman surfaced to the light...
and after that, even the idea of re-reading the book itself (previously much much much beloved) left a sour taste in my mouth...love for Terrys work on it isn't enough.... Gaimans acts overshadow all... once again...
Yeah, watching the first few episodes of the show spoiled the book for me. The fucking scene where they're drunk and talking about the end time at the bookstore I feel was done specifically to harm the memory of Terry Pratchett, there's no way they fucked it up that bad unintentionally.
Yea... I was looking forward to that scene and it was so incredibly off, that it ended up as one of the few scenes I remember from it...
