Not gonna lie, the thought of an official Dawn thread slightly terrifies me, for multiple reasons.

---

Seeing the praise Forum 13 is showering you with now AND having read the series has me oh so excited for all the butthurt that thread will host.

"Strong black female lead, with ambiguous sexual relationships." The meltdown will be epic.

I hope Trump tweets about not understanding what it is about. Then we will get that awesome crossover with the politics forum

Just dropping by to remind you that your contract is still in place.

Somehow missed this over the weekend. I really appreciate the kind words.

There's actually a role in the pilot for a South Korean former child actor who is now a dentist, so you missed it by *that* much. I'll see what I can do for future episodes, though.

Dude I had no idea you were making a show with Duvernay. I hope you kill it!

Thanks!

that's awesome! i'm not much of a sci-fi buff but will definitely watch since a fellow ag is involved.

what would you compare it to as far as mood/feel? like i said i haven't watched much sci-fi but did love ex machina, moon, the martian, arrival, etc..

Yay!

Congrats!

Thanks, guys.

What's both incredibly exciting - but also a leap of faith - is the fact that I can honestly say there's nothing to compare it to. Genuinely - this isn't just lip service - there's not an existing model, even in terms of mood/feel. It was originally pitched to me as Lost set in space (not Lost in Space), and then we pitched it as such from there, but it has evolved far beyond that. I can tell you this: visually, it will be stunning. It will also be bold and it will be subversive, and it may not be for some people, but in this age of mass content, it will absolutely stand out from the pack.

Is it really going to stick with the books, or is it going well beyond that?
I love the books

The books are definitely the roadmap, but it's too early to know how much "beyond" will be added/injected.

Cool

Thanks.

I feel like I am one of the few that have read the series. And I am excited to see how the characters end up looking.

Glad to hear it.

Congratulations, dude.

Fun Claude! fact: I read Dawn as part of my Sci Fi lit class at A&M with Dr. Killingsworth.

---

I never managed to take that class.

But isn't that an amazing book?

It was good and original, but wasn't really my style of sci fi at the time; I got a lot more out of our read of Neuromancer and Left Hand of Darkness.

Maybe I'll give Dawn another shot.
