The hint that the Principal and Miss Mimi have a deeper relationship was a very nice touch, and makes his remark about asking her library question when he first hired Jake a nice touch.


in the novelbook miss mimi isn't black and she and Deke get married




how come the novel is 11/22/63 and the TV show is 11.22.63


what deeper meaning could it have?

All tv shows titles should include / to thwart criminals

Introducing Bill then having him die is dumb but they had to get rid of him so the climax could be with Jake and Sadie like the book

Bill was interesting in the tv show. I thought they were gonna do something with him to make the ending different to the book but now just looks like his storyline was a waste of time.

Yeah but Jake has nothing else to do but waste time from when he emerges from the rabbit hole until the assassination

There's so many Stephen King adaptations where I wish they had more time to properly tell the story of the book without having to leave a lot out.

And now they have a lot of time to do a long novel and they still screw up the pacing.

Lee was great, the whole show should have been about him visiting various government agencies and complain about mass surveillance and capitalism. he could have visited the ATF, CIA, NSA, ATF, IRS, DMV, the Secret Service or maybe even the FDA.



Lee is a cool guy he's actually very misunderstood by history.



That scene where he went to the FBI and left a letter for Hosty actually happened in irl life

ep 1 and 8 were good

8 was almost exactly what happened in the end of the novel


too bad about the filler 2-6 eps

I could have made a better miniseries


I guess the pacing of the middle just works better in a novel



it's like poetry; it rhymes







even the real image is in color but they have to make it black and white on the tv show because that's how old photographs are

A good book to read is Oswald's Tale by Norman Mailer

It was written in the 90s and he got access to lots of KGB documents and tapes from when they were surveilling LHO
