10 Questions Asked After Watching "Nightflyers"

1. What the fuck?

2. Seriously...what the fuck WAS that?

3. Why are there always unexplained telepathic powers in the future? With levels?

4. Why does Thale talk like a chimney sweep from "Mary Poppins"? There's being English and then there's being Bart Simpson pretending to be Alex from "A Clockwork Orange".

5. If they've never really communicated with us clearly before, then who named the Volcryn "the Volcryn" and why are they called that? Just because it sounds cool and alieny?

6. Why are so many over emotional, unbalanced, and unprofessional people allowed to be on a space crew and how have they lived this long?

7. Why is Karl?

8. Dead children love to torture their parents in space...why is that, exactly?

9. How can you have such an awesome cast but still make the story hinge on the actions of a couple of asshole white guys who seriously do not care about anyone else?

10. Seriously though, what is GRRM's thing about large cults of scraggly, insane women who act completely illogically? Do all the scary, homicidal women in his stories actually serve a purpose?

Bonus question: Who designed that ridiculous penis pump torture instrument and was the metal catheter part truly necessary?

So I watched like 2 episodes of Nightflyers...

So after a loooong time of procastinating (I have a big ass TBR k??) yesterday I finally got around reading "Nightflyers" (the ilustrated edition is 200 ish pages so it's a very quick read) and decided to watch the series because I really liked the concept of the book but felt that a series could really improve the ending and flesh out the characters.

Now I must start saying that I hadn't even watched the trailer or anything about the series, I just directly jumped from the book to the series and I was not impressed tbh.

It was -

K so there are gonna be spoilers about the book and the series (at least the 2 episodes I've watched of Nightflyers so if you don't wish to read them don't read any further.

.

Ok first off I had a huge 'pls no pls no' moment at the beginning of the series (like I mentioned before I didn't know a thing about the casting of the series) and upon watching the first scene of what I supposed was the climax of the book I see Gretchen Mol struggling in the ship with no gravity and for those of you who have read the book will already know I mistook her for Melantha as she was the only one aboard the ship (well the only one alive in any case) by that point now Melantha was very clearly described as a WoC in the books so I was already thinking it had been a case of whitewashing (not the case but I am still not sure and I'll get to that later) but when she is recording her warning message she identifies herself as Dr. Agatha Matheson and I was throughly confused from that moment on... do i even need to talk about Rowan (by that point a nameless stranger to the audience) is doing his best Jack Nicholson impression and then Agatha kills herself?? Like I was just completely confused by that point.

So I was like ok fine I already expected them to change some stuff and that’s fine, so I kind of tried to pretend I was watching a series completely unrelated to the book (I played myself cuz I know damn well my stupid ass brain likes to nitpick about everything) but fam they changed the whooooole ass premise of the book.

So what I actually liked a lot about the book was that the concept was lot like a mix between "Psycho", "The Hunting of Hill House" and "And then there were none". I mean if I told y'all this story is basically a haunted house/murder mystery in space it would sound pretty cool right??? Well they managed in 2 fucking episodes to kill any suspense they might have built up.

Right, so Karl D'Branin (wasn't his name Karoly tho?? Why is there a need to change a goddamned name?? And he is much younger than is book counterpart) is a prefessor? Investigator?? Who the fuck knows for an unnamed university or government facility (who knows?? I'll go for investigator cuz he was that in the books) in the year 2093 on earth (so again wildly different from the book because he was doing his research from a planet named Avalon that is very scholary //this planet is also mentioned in "Dying of the light" another book by GRRM that I absolutely adored// and we are in an era where space travel and aliens are common af I mean Earth is barely glossed over at the beginnig of the book and not relevant whatsoever to the plot) and he is talking to his wife about how apparently he discovered the volcryn are somewhere near the earth and he and only he must find them and communicate with them because they maybe? Possibly? Hopefully? Will help them save the Earth from dying (why is it dying tho? Global warming? Nuclear war? And why or how does he know the volcryn would help?? This plot is convoluted and has holes everywhere you look at) but they (the people he works for) won't help him financiate his work never fear tho cuz Roy Eris (wasn't his name Royd in the books?) wants to help him (the expression on his wife's face suggests he is a super well known man and I am like ?????) if he gets together a crew yadda yadda.

So what I liked is that they gave Karoly a family, in the book we never really get to know much about the past or family of most of the characters so it's kind of hard to find them sympathetic but apart from that everything is a fucking mess, so the thing is I know they are introducing this noble 'we are the planet's last hope' bullshit because they want this mission to have bigger stakes than those of the book (in the book Karoly has been studying the volcryn as a myth that has been repeating throughout the galaxy in different moments and different cultures and he just wants to prove they are real it's as if a Folklore researcher traveled to Transylvania to find vampires tbh) but it makes no fucking sense in any way, first off how does Karoly even know they exist save from the Teke energy readings? How does he think they can help save the Earth?? How is he gonna communicate with them if the people in this universe have never contacted aliens before??

And well there is the Nightflyer, this ship is crucial and while I think the design for the series was intresting it doesn't work for the story, so in the book Royd Elis is a super unknown random captain of a ship that is completely automatizied (this is SUPER important for the plot) he usually trasports cargo not people but he takes on D'Branin' crew because he is very intrested in people and he is curious about the volcryn.

Ok now Royd mentions his mother in the 2nd episode (by then I had just given up trying to make sense of things tbh) and says she designed the ship and he made some improvements, but the thing that is most glaringly out of fucking place for me is the Nightflyer is a colony ship and Royd's mother wanted to make a legend of herself wtffffff? So in the book the reason why the ship is completely automatizied is because Royd's mom absolutely hated people and with good reason she was an extraordinarily gifted telepath but in her home planet her abilities were deemed as evil an unnatural so she faced a lot of abuse growing up til she got a Job in a ship and then when she had enough money she comissioned the Nightflyer to a race of aliens especialized in technology, so you see why this makes no sense to me to have a full crew instead of just the group of scholars (it kind of takes away from the mystery murder element).

Another thing that killed the suspense was that we never get eased into a sense of calm, from the very beginning Thale is seen as a menace in the ship (again why even go about the telepaths if you are going to do it in the boring way) and there is wierd ass stuff hapenning all the time yet everything is blamed on Thale while in the book we get weeks of the crew living together with only one thing that worries them and that is Royd, because just like in the series he is just with them through a holoprojection and they feel wary of him, and Thale is just one more scholary who volunteered to go with them (he is a Level 1 telepath but this is not that big of a deal and everyone treats him normaly up to the point when he starts feeling a sense of danger) tbh everything in the beginning points to Royd being the one who is killing them, and then we suspect of the volcryn, until the ship and Royd's mother spirit inside it is revealed as the culprit, but in the series by the end of the second goddamned episode we see Royd talking to the ship and it's like ok the ship is responsable for this, as I said it doesn't build any suspension, they managed to take a story that was intresting and scary into a boring bland stereotypical mess (you know what I am not even gonna mention how Melantha is shoved aside as the main female character and Agatha is instead proped up).

I don't know if I am going to keep watching tbh.

Imagine dying for Karl D'Branin. What a fucking L. And I was watching this on my phone on my way home and omg, I was just cursing at the top of my lungs.

Like women have value outside of the men they fuck or birth, I knew it was gonna be weird and cringey but what a fucking L. Girl what! This is what gets you to finally fucking stop? How many people have died already?? No one has checked on Lommie. Gah. Everyone else gets to die but Karl? Unacceptable

Ways to Create Your Very Own Superstar Filter.

Some of the complications that many individuals deal with every single day is the concern of effective ways to get rid of acne places? As the backpacker term begins to disperse, travel to Georgia and experience its welcoming individuals initial hand prior to the leading hoardes from trip buses come in, and also experience whatever from the Caucasus mountains as well as the worldwide capital Tbilisi, to the African-american Sea beaches and also holiday urban area from Batumi. In hindsight, I wish I had actually stayed up to enjoy the read full article coverage of the political election, despite the fact that this crept into the darkest hrs of the night then the very early hrs from early morning (as well as though I possessed a news assignment due the following time). This will assure that the swift movie stock is actually certainly not visiting have as clear as a picture as sluggish film sell would certainly, but this may possess an extra motion picture and also artistically artistic taste of you particular function. One more model which gets married to sound as well as vibration in one system is actually the Sonic Boom SBH400ss Sweetheart Loud And Moving Alarm-- shaped like a pink soul, this is actually a kid pleasant unit that is stuffed along with both a 12 volt bed shaker and pulsating beaming sharp illuminations. Gretchen Mol (Boardwalk Realm) stars as Dr. Agatha Matheson, together with Eoin Macken (The Third Shift) as Karl D'Branin, David Ajala (Angry & prompt 6) as Roy Eris, Sam Strike (EastEnders) as Thale, Maya Eshet (Teenager Wolf) as Lommie, Angus Sampson (Fargo) as Rowan, Jodie Turner-Smith (The Last Ship) as Melantha Jhirl as well as Brían F. 'Byrne (Million Dollar Child) as Auggie. One evening after tons of alcohol consumption, he talked to if I would certainly spit or eat - I drunkenly acknowledged that I would eat for him yet no person else, as well as he pointed out that transformed him on Certainly, our experts made love twice, but when I tried the 3rd time he stated he failed to feel right given that he was straight and also he blamed this on the liquor (even though he told me this was the most effective sexual activity he ever before had) Our experts never ever mingled again. Maintain a sleep log - For a couple of evenings, you or a rest companion may tape-record if you are actually snoring and also how loud your snoring is, just how effectively you are actually sleeping, whether you are possessing trouble breathing (gulping or choking), and also whether you believe refreshed in the early morning. I have actually consistently liked that, however some folks resent it when they see this, as it has a slightly yellow/beige color to this. If I told you that you were consuming Slim Fast 3 2 1 along with 2% dairy nonetheless, you would entirely think me, since that's what Slim Quick with soya dairy flavors like. The marketing that attacked the marketplace on the early July night was actually thus vicious that the swap must improve numerous poor prints below the $15 amount as marketing breached resting buy orders in the precious metals futures agreement. The 23 year-old enjoyed time off from filming her brand-new movie Camp X Ray where she plays a soldier in the US Army and baseding upon eye-witnesses begged Los Angeles cheeseburger shared The Counter on Tuesday evening with a close friend. An emotional dramatization that seems straightforward but possibly isn't, This is actually Cold in the River during the night is is grasping as well as propulsive to its end - but also much better, its own last web page infuses an immediate wish to go back and also reread that.
