    Was I supposed to read that in Ralph Kramden’s voice? I hope so because I did.

    Edit: shoot didn’t see the immediate next post!

    It was Eddie Murphy doing a Ralph Kramden voice, so you're mostly there.

  2. Spoiler

    I hope the showrunners are deviating from the novel to create a more climatic ending. The last 20% of the book are a slog. Toranga delays and plots , and everyone wonders what the hell he's thinking. Blackthorne is basically lost mentally, recovers some, and has one last verbal showdown. It picks up in the last couple chapters, but the book's climax occurs at the 75-80% mark. It's an odd way to construct a book, but Easter isn't the ending of The Bible. I'm sure Clavell's editors begged him to change/lengthen the ending, but he was a notorious prick. He probably told them to fuck off and publish it. I guess it worked out for everybody.

    Yes, it's generally great.  Will remind you of a good pre-2019 Blantons.
