What do you think about what they did to David? To me, it was like a blow in the guts. So far, I've been so mesmerised by the show's high production values that I've overlooked all the bad calls they've made. But erasing such an important character? How are they planning to adapt TOTBT or Mememock or Merrick? And he mentioned that he is not in love with the fandom! Excuse me, I thought they were adapting Anne Rice books, not what fandom thinks of Anne Rice books! David is and will forever be one of my favourite characters of the books and af all fiction (along with Marius), and he doesn't deserve this. I'm still enjoying season 3, but the spell has broken; it is not the same. I know now this is not the adaptation that Anne Rice's masterpiece deserves. I'm gonna keep hoping that somehow some of the rational voices of the fandom, who dedicate their time to love Anne Rice's books in their entirety, despite their flaws (as all works of art are flawed and it's part of their value) will reach them and rectify this atrocity. Don't get me wrong, I get adaptations need to make some changes, but one thing is changing some aesthetics or dates or minor events, as long as the spirit of the original work is there. But deleting a major character for such petty reasons not only makes no sense, but it is alsoan insult to the original work and those who love it.
