I am normally a staunch, "Don't judge it until you see it" person.
And admittedly, I probably will not be able to resist giving the show a try.
But I hate that they're making it. My inner toddler is throwing a tantrum right now. I love the book. I loved the movie. A TV show will either be lame and last forever, or be good and get shafted. We had the good version with Journeyman. I can't bear the thought of The Time Traveler's Wife being made into a show that will seem like a lame imitation of Journeyman, even though we know it's not.
The book is a cohesive, whole story. To break it up episodically - despite how it might seem to be a good idea (this week Henry travels back to when Clare was 15; this week he goes back and sees his mother sing; etc.) - I just don't think it will work.
Or I don't want it to work.
Yes, I'm being irrational. Does that make you less irrational, if you acknowledge your own irrationality?
DO. NOT. WANT.
