It's awesome seeing it on screen. I have read ahead of where we are now and definitely enjoying both. Some stuff improved I think on screen. We haven't scratched the surface of where this story will go. [Reply]

The graphic novels are definitely worth it, but I feel they've done well with the show to this point. The subplot with Mark's mom and girlfriend gets a little grating (the girlfriend is a twat in the comics) so I get your point there. But it really is worth it to dredge through those storylines. Promise. [Reply]
Yeah they've actually streamlined alot of plot so far to get to what is covered in this episode in the comics. The showrunner said he could see it being like 7 seasons or something, when I heard that I was kinda shocked. They'll have to prune storylines to get it in 7 seasons especially with the villains they still have to introduce. With Angstrom Levy being introduced this season, they're kinda rushing his arc and I can see what these next four episodes are going to cover. Time is a very weird medium in the comics, months, years, decades pass over a matter of issues throughout the series, but they're definitely skipping beats to get there. [Reply]

I have no doubt. There are some aspects to this show which are really great. I just think it's fair to point out there is a bit of filler, the Guardians have been completely skipped over in Season 2, and the animation is pretty shit. Doesn't mean it's not a good show, but for a 2 year wait, it's a bit disappointing that the show looks so low budget and comes with a mid-season break. [Reply]
