I can't imagine that anything on film could even come close to the written word of Herself!! I hope I'm NOT disappointed -- I was with the graphic novel, not because it wasn't enjoyable on it's own merit, but because I thought the format of a graphic novel trivialized the saga. Prolly an unpopular opinion, but there it is! I hope a film/movie/miniseries doesn't do that. Altho, I hasten to add, anything Gabaldonian is on my to-do list.
OMG I can't believe how jittery it made me to read this! I guess I really do have a huge personal interest, just as a fan of the series, in making sure that they don't ruin it :-) Maybe that's part of why I feel like it should be an amazing sprawling multiyear miniseries. Plus, it seems like rabid fans (ahem, which I have to admit I am) are always PO'd at the final result (e.g., if Katherine Heigl gets cast, etc...). But I like how you put it Carol - here we go!
Hooboy! You should go post this at CompuServe. ;-)
