Even more horrific accusations against Neil Gaiman revealed

[JD]

There are a lot of Morpheus lite stories.

Oh, OK. But would they be enough to make up potentially 3 whole seasons of the series? I had assumed his storyline would take up more than just 20 out of 75 issues that the show would possibly cover.
This just feels like their making excuses because they don't want to admit that they're canceling the show because of Gaiman.

Not sure. It's been ages. But on my last read through I couldn't help but notice Morpheus being a supporting character or guest-star in his own book.

I've never had a strong opinion on Neil Gaiman and never got around to reading his books, but this still bothers the hell out of me. Maybe I'm just afraid of who else will be outed as a predator.

K. But would they be enough to make up potentially 3 whole seasons of the series?

I'm pretty sure they would if they wanted to (Peter Jackson made three movies out of a single novel once).

This just feels like their making excuses because they don't want to admit that they're canceling the show because of Gaiman.

Which is why they don't want to.

I'm pretty sure they would if they wanted to (Peter Jackson made three movies out of a single novel once).

And the appendices of another novel.

 

[Shamrock Holmes]

True, but that's still a lot less than the material that he made the previous triology out of.

I don't see this going well for him.

Damn, human trafficking?! They must have some very solid evidence with a charge like that.

The article could be more clearly-worded but it seems to be a civil action rather than criminal prosecution.

It’s a civil lawsuit, filed by the former nanny, not a criminal complaint. The burden of pleading is much lower.

I’m not shocked Palmer got named. If the allegations are to be believed she definitely struck me as having acted as Gaiman’s procurer.

Excellent point. I only did a quick read through the article and I clearly missed that distinction.

I'm not either after reading Lila Shapiro's article. Palmer's role in all of this is pretty damning.

Exactly. If that is article is true she basically threw that woman into a proverbial lions den (or maybe snake pit would be more appropriate).

Indeed.
