TV Binge Watch (Part 2)

@ekedolphin That sounds like the plot of “The Lost Girls” graphic novel by Alan Moore.

  6. The Lee Harvey Oswald Story, recounting the objectively verified facts of his life (no conspiracy dreck) leading up to the JFK assassination and then his own murder by Jack Ruby. Maybe there’s not a big enough audience to make it worthwhile because I’ve seen some amount of sentiment to the effect of “It was a long time ago; who cares?” But I think it would be an interesting story, if done well.

  7. A mini-series of about 12 episodes (maybe a 2 hr. movie as the 1st episode), based on the Newbery winner, The Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin. An honest one. There was a 2 hr. movie vaguely based on it, but updated to the time it was made, and which eliminated about 75% of the characters from a complex, character-driven mystery. The movie was so awful, it was forced to change its title to Get a Clue. The book was written in the early 70s, and the mini-series needs to be set then, complete with ALL the characters, and faithful to the book.

dirtball, I agree with you, and highly recommend this book on Oswald and his wife, if you haven’t already read it.

  8. Tuf Voyaging, from the interrelated sf short-story collection by George R.R. Martin. A snarky antihero, an ancient starship, mushroom cuisine, environmental satire and psionic cats - what’s not to like?

I haven’t. Kindle version purchased, although I don’t know how soon I’ll get to it. Thanks!

  9. Filthy Thirteen, based on the actual unit that inspired The Dirty Dozen. The 1st Demolition Section of the Regimental Headquarters Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. The team had little interest in actual military protocol but were mission focused. Inspired by Sgt. jack McNiece who was part Choctaw, the team had native-style mohawks and war paint when they jumped into Normandy.
