His stuff gets auto-shit on because he's unapologetically Christian.

I read the 1st book (cuz heard him interviewed on JRPC at random) and thought it was OK. Going to give them another shot.

Hallmark Channel is unapologetically Christian. I'm not sure murder and having a dude's balls ripped off with piano wire is very Christ-like.

She’s a good case study for “you think we’re the same species?”

Lmao no idea who he was talking about until I saw this. Is she an aboriginal or something? Definitely doesn't look right.

I plan on probably will re-watching it but I'm probably just skip through the scenes I sort of remember is being filler and getting to the good stuff out of that one one. Tends to be the way I rewatch shows like From when I don't remember what the hell happened, but once you kind of get going at all sort of falls back into place.

Sniper scene was indeed badass, but I think both seasons are just as good.

so starting.
ep1. I found very very boring. no hook. didn't get me into it at all.
ep2. is much better.
When were these books written exactly? Googled to answer myself.
terminal list 2018.
true believer 2019. (season 2.)
Savage son 2020.
The Devils hand 2021.
in the blood. 2022
and more.. still going.
the Russian invasion of Ukraine was 2022 for anyone's reminder.
The books from what I can tell are set in.. "now". so, true believer would have been set in 2019. but, the show has updated it to be "now", 2026 or 5.
I'm a bit curious how the book readers feel about any adaptations in regards to that.

I do find the idea arms dealers would be so non-chalet about a drone going missing in one of their shipments, kind of absurd. its not even a question of "morals" or "ethics". its you failed to deliver your promise. a REGULAR business failing to fill an order properly is a big deal. work can slam to a halt. But then this absurdity is of course highlighted as the partner complaining about the buyers, complaining about the missing drone, is literally watching footage of the first bomb attack... and didn't put 2 and 2 together and shit his pants? not till later, when the other partner read a news article.. saying the drone attack on the car was a "maelstrom drone". these guys would not be hyperaware of every military and terrorist activity in the world?

I bitch about "adaptations" of great books/comics by retarded Hollywood hacks all the time, and Terminal List is the only show I can think of that I've ever watched where the changes made from the books are almost 100% improvements. The reason is obvious: Jack Carr actually did a lot of the screenplay writing, David DiGilio stayed out of his way, and somehow Carr also managed to get Amazon to hand over a large amount of creative control over the show as a whole.

I finished the 1st terminal list and was going to post just that. There are a lot of changes from the book , and most of them are for the better. They did draw S1 a little too much compared to the book but it was still enjoyable.
Just started the 2nd book and it's pretty obvious the last episode 'gotcha' is spelled out in the front of the book.
